The South Regent did not plan to explain himself either. He said, "In three days, I want to see a hundred billion. If there's no money, you can take his body back." The phone call ended.

George fell on the couch, feeling drained and exhausted.

The South Regent had joined the fray and was demanding a hundred billion, which was an astronomical figure.

George originally planned for foreign companies to fill in the positions of those who departed, but the South Regent had taken Richard.

If the news got out, no other companies would come and the remaining local companies would be terrified. No one wanted to be abducted by the South Regent!
