Life at The Top novel Chapter 617

Neville took a deep breath. He was so infuriated he felt like he was about to explode.

“Stop dodging the question, Jasper. So what if you’re good at talking? Tell me, where’s Sylva Hanks?”

Dave agreed. “Exactly. You want money, don’t you? He’s taken all the cash in the family. Find him and you’ll get the money!”

“What makes you think that he’d tell me where he’s going and when he’s planning to flee?” Jasper frowned slightly. “How can you two be so stupid?”

“You’re going too far, Jasper!”

Neville could no longer control the rage within him and raised his fist to punch Jasper in the face.

Jasper stood expressionless in place and did not move at all.

Julian reached out from beside him and grabbed Neville’s wrist. Before anyone could register what was happening, Julian flicked his wrist and Neville’s sharp cry sounded in the air. His arm was immediately fractured.

A young master like Neville could hardly endure such immense pain. Tears and snot began to flow freely that instant, and he grabbed his arm while hopping around.

“Insolent b*stard.” Jasper shook his head and turned to look at Dave who was gulping with a pale face. “Are you going to block my path as well?”

Dave could neither move nor stay, so he remained rooted in place. Regret filled his heart as he wondered why he rushed out on impulse.

His elders had yet to say anything, so who was a youth like him to act out?

“Come back, Dave.”

Sirius’ words saved Dave from embarrassment, and he quickly ran back to Sirius’ side.

Silas asked with trepidation, “Should we ask Conrad’s family for help?”

Sirius scoffed. “This is a huge sum of 2.7 billion, not 27 million. There’s no way we can come up with so much money even though we have got a good amount of assets. Conrad has his own issues to deal with already, and I haven’t been able to contact him since yesterday. We’re discarded pawns now, do you hear me?”

Silas shuddered and hissed. “Then what are we supposed to do now?”

“Let’s split up. At least then, we’ll still get to stay alive.”

Sirius waved his hand dismissively. “You heard Jasper, didn’t you? I know all of you have your own hidden reserves. Take that money and run as far as you can. This is it for the Hanks family.”

With that, members of the Hanks family felt their hearts shake in their chests. It felt like the end of the world to them.
