Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 1033

The lanky man tried to take Alicia hostage, but she picked up the shovel, looking ready to fight him.

Jamie aimed the gun at the lanky man. "Don't move."

"I yield! I yield!" The lanky man raised both his hands as a sign of surrender as he got down. In a shaky voice, he stated, "Please be careful with the gun, dude. I don't want to die!"

Jamie simply rolled his eyes at the lanky man. Then, he turned to Alicia and exchanged a knowing look with her.

After that, the two worked together on tying up the lanky man and the tall guy before leaving to meet up with Ariel.

Outside the warehouse, once Matthew's lackey received the order to kill Danny, he grabbed the rake, one which farmers used to smooth loose soil, and rushed inside. Then, he put the rake under Danny.

Watching the sharp tool, Danny swallowed hard. Judging from the height, the rake could simply impale his body and end his life in a split second if he fell.

The man cast him a glance before walking toward the pillar with a blank expression to untie the rope.

"Wait!" Danny shouted to grab his attention. "Can you let me go? I can pay you!"

The man paid no mind to his trick. He's so full of himself. I won't turn against my boss for a little money.

"I can give you five hundred thousand! What do you think? Or one million! Is it enough?"

The man stopped untying the ropes. Well, I'll hear him out.

It's working! Danny turned it up a notch. "Let's see... Two million in exchange for my life. What do you say? I'm the person in charge of the SK Group, and the younger brother of Smith Co.'s boss. I guarantee that I have enough money to pay you."

The man frowned as he pondered. That's a lot he's offering. I'll never earn that much working for Area X.

"Don't worry about Matthew's revenge. I can introduce you to joining Smith Co.. They provide social insurance and housing funds. Besides, you can brag about working for Smith Co.. You should give it a thought, eh?" Danny didn't want to die, especially not in such a way.

Not only do I have to die today but I'll also die getting pierced by a sharp stake! The other ghosts will surely laugh at how I died. That's too humiliating!

The man thought for a moment before looking at Danny and answered, "I don't need the money. I'm more interested in joining Smith Co.. I hope you aren't messing with me."
