Chapter 418 The Threat

+8 Pearls

Thrice finished picking at his teeth, throwing the toothpick onto the floor with a casual flick.

“That guy told me,” he began, “once we kidnap him, we won’t have to worry about food or clothes anymore. We’re just doing someone else a favor. Once we hand the kid off, the money’s ours. We’ll head overseas and live like kings. Who’s gonna find us?”

My brow furrowed. So they planned to sell that handsome guy for money.

Before I could process the thought, another man, bald and sitting on a stool, spoke up. “Hold on, Thrice. If that kid’s some pack’s only heir, what about the girl? What’s her deal? Are we sure we’re not getting played here?”

Thrice waved him off dismissively. His face was unreadable.

“Her? She’s just extra. She almost ruined the plan when she saw us dragging the kid out of the park. If I didn’t take care of her, she’d be a problem. I brought her back, though. She’s pretty–easy to sell off later. Another payday for us.”

“Alright, enough talk. Let’s go check on them. Don’t make too much noise. We don’t want a mess,” Thrice muttered drunkenly.

He stood up, knocking over a bottle with a loud clang.
