Chapter 421

How to describe his gaze? It was filled with a chilling malevolence, a bloodthirsty ferocity, reminding one of demons that lurk in the pits of Hades, never seeing the light of day.

“You don’t need to glare at me like that! If it wasn’t for your crafty ways and unpredictable moods, I wouldn’t have to resort to this, old friend!”

Eden’s heart lurched, and he gritted his teeth with determination, “Knowing you for all these years, I’ve realized one thing: you never leave a chance for anyone to survive. So, it’s only fair that I find my own way out!”

“Do you really have the recording? Avery narrowed his eyes, his voice lazy yet laced with an icy coldness.

“Well, seems like you’re scared now!”

Eden gloated, “Did you think I would carry the recording around with me? Of course, I’ve hidden it in a safe place. If you dare hurt me. I guarantee that the whole world will hear this recording by the next day!”

“Name your terms, the man demanded, his gaze frosty. When it came to deals, Mr. Chambers never beat around the bush.

“I want you to arrange for a private jet to take me and my men out of the country. I also want money, lots of it! I’ve dealt with two major problems for you, and I deserve to be compensated. You can’t possibly leave me high and dry, can you?!”

“How much do you want?”

“100 million dollars! Transferred to my offshore account! Once I receive the money, Ill give you the recording and disappear from your

lifer

Eden smirked, his eyebrows arching with indecency, “We’ve been partners for years, and you’ve gained quite a lot from our partnership. This 100 million is packet change for you, Mr. Chambers. Consider it a farewell gift for our years of friendship.”

100 million dollars! Harvey, standing nearby, was left agape by Eden’s audacious demand.

“Alright, deal. The money will be transferred to you within three days,” to Eden’s surprise, Avery agreed without hesitation. Eden couldn’t help but regret, thinking he had asked for too little.

“For the next three days, I’d advise you to stay put in Elmsworth. The Abernathy Group and the Fairhaven Group are certainly searching for you” Avery wamed, taking a leisurely sip of his red wine.

“That’s not your concem! Just make sure the money gets to me on time!”

After reaching an agreement, Harvey escorted Eden out.

No sooner had the door closed than Avery’s gaze darkened. He tilted his wine glass, allowing the red wine to spill onto the plush white

carpet,

“To old friends, a toast to your journey.”

Before long. Harvey returned, frustrated, “Mr. Chambers! 100 billion dollars, are you really gonna hand it over to that good–for–nothing son of a gun?!”

“Of course. If this gets out and reaches Evadne’s ears, how am I going to explain it?” Avery spoke in a detached tone, swirling his glass. Harvey quickly poured him more wine, “But even if he gets the money, he needs to stay alive to spend it.”

Harvey’s eyes widened, “Are you suggesting we silence him for good?!”

“Or what?”

Avery pushed up his gold–rimmed glasses, “Initially, I had no intention of killing him. But now he’s threatening me with Evadne, trying to ruin our relationship. How can I let him live?”

“If you’re planning this, why bother giving him the money?” Harvey asked, confusion crossing his face.
