A rough voice answered, "100,000 pounds. You know the rate. My people will be at Manchester Arndale tomorrow at noon."

James smirked. "No problem. Send your men to William Whitmore. I'll inform him about the payment."

There was a low, mechanical chuckle on the other end of the line before the call disconnected. James leaned back, exhaling deeply. "This time, Eleanor, you won't escape."

He dialed William's number. "Uncle, the deal is set. Keep 100,000 pounds in cash in a bag and go shopping at Manchester Arndale tomorrow between 12 and 1 PM. Someone will approach you at their convenience."

"Okay. I'll be there. Will you come?" William replied.

James said, "No, Uncle. I have a meeting with the Chen Group tomorrow. You know how important it is for me."

He paused, then added, "Don't worry. They are professionals. You saw their work last time."

"Okay," William ended the call.
