Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 622

Chapter 622

"Hurry! Someone! Retrieve the money!"

That was the first thing David said after he snapped back to his senses.

Then, three hours later, he drove alone to an abandoned factory located south of the city.

The employees had packed ten million cash in two suitcases, and he used a lot of effort before he finally managed to drag it to the second floor of the building.

"Daddy!" Celina was bound to the chair and stood up in excitement upon seeing him, but Edwin forced her back into her seat with a knife. "Don't move!"

Edwin pressed the knife's sharp edge against her neck, and if it just got a little closer, it could cut through her delicate skin at any time.

As David loved his daughter dearly, he was awash with panic. "Stop! Don't hurt Nana!"

"Hmph!" A sardonic laugh escaped Edwin's lips. "Don't worry, David. Nana is the woman I love the most in my life. How can I ever bear to hurt her?"

"Love? Is this what you call love?" David was furious as he tossed the suitcases on the floor.

"There are many ways to love a person. Just because you haven't experienced it before doesn't mean that it's not love. For example, Nana wanted to leave the hospital and I took her away. Is this not true love?" Edwin asked casually.

"I'm not interested in your twisted reasoning," David retorted and kicked the suitcases toward him. "I've brought you ten million. Now, let her go!"

"Don't be in such a rush." Then, as Edwin held the dagger in his hand, he paced around Celina and said lazily, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to bring the money to me so that I can check it with my own eyes."

"There's no need for that," David sneered. "Ten million for my daughter's life is nothing to me."

"Of course, of course. Nana's life is worth much more than me," he said sarcastically. "However, regardless of our relationship, money is money, so it's better to be safe than sorry, no? Besides, I don't think you would like this to happen a second time, am I right?"

David didn't rise to his provocation. Edwin was currently shouldering a large sum of debt and was now an outlaw who would do anything just for money.

Nana is in his hands now, and I can't trigger him, David thought.

At the thought of this, he restrained his temper, carried the suitcases again, and dropped them about two feet away from Edwin before retreating to a safe distance.

Edwin waited until David was a distance away before he went forward to open the two suitcases, and his jaw dropped when he saw the amount of cash. Ten million; never before had he seen this amount of money, and now, all of it belonged to him!

He could pay off all of his debts, start another business, and make a comeback with this money. At that time, who would dare to look down on him again?

"You have your money. Now, keep your end of the bargain and let Nana go!" David urged.

Edwin's face sank as he heard David's commanding voice, but he still had feelings for Celina and didn't actually want to kill her. "You can go now," he said expressionlessly.

Celina immediately sprang to her feet and bolted toward David when she heard that. "Daddy!"

In a few seconds, David undid the ropes on her person, and she sobbed. "Let's go, Daddy! Let's go home! I don't want to stay here any longer."

"Just a minute." David assured her, turned to Edwin, and said indifferently, "Take this money as your parents' funeral expenses, and our families shall never be in contact ever again. I won't pursue the matter with you this time, but if you dare to harm Nana again in the future, I'll make sure everyone in the Haymond Family pays for what you've done!"

Edwin gritted his teeth in a fury, and the veins on his forehead popped. How dare he curse my parents! Yet, even at this point, he still does not fear me at all!

"Oh, Daddy! Don't waste your breath on him anymore. It's just ten million, merely enough for me to buy a few outfits. We'll just take it as getting rid of a beggar. It's so dirty and dusty here. I want to go home right away!

"Alright, alright…"

Celina threw a spoilt tantrum yet again, and David was utterly unable to handle her when she was in such a state. Hence, he threw a warning look at Edwin before leading her down the stairs.

However, Edwin was triggered by the phrase 'getting rid of a beggar', and he clenched his fists tightly. Then, when he looked out the window, he caught sight of the gas in the corner of the wall instead—he had prepared that to taunt David, but he ended up not using it.

At that moment, it was as though that can of gas had tempted him, drawing him closer to it.

Meanwhile, Celina and David had just reached downstairs when Edwin caught up with them.

"Celina Saunders!" Edwin shouted as he opened the gas can and splashed the contents at her.

"Watch out, Nana!" David immediately stepped sideways and placed himself in front of Celina. So, the gas splashed onto him instead, completely drenching him.
