Max had already driven himself to the location specified by the kidnappers. He got out of the car, lugging 20 million in cash into the warehouse, demanding the

release of the hostages.

The big bad boss Monkey had a prominent scar on his face that made him look terrifying.

Monkey laughed evilly on the side, gently prodding Eloise's chin with a knife. "Mr. Velona, this woman is so beautiful, she's worth at least 200,000 dollars, right? You're already so rich, why not just save her too, or she'll be in big trouble."
