Chapter 418 The Threat

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?”

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.”
