To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 784

Graham's worries were not unfounded. James frowned at his words. "I think there's a tiny possibility of that happening, so we can't rule it out. Why don't we ask them right away?" Then, he kicked the table beside him, and it toppled over.

The huge crash attracted the attention of those who were standing guard outside. Someone entered the room—it was the blond man, the same one that had attacked Jenny.

"Wow! What do you want, gentlemen? You don't act like prisoners, do you?" He was pissed when he detected no hint of fear on Graham and James' faces.

James ignored his smirk and asked, "What do you want?"

The blond man was stunned by James' boldness. Then, he chuckled and said, "You two are clever men." He didn't abduct them for no good reason. If he had followed the instructions of the Glasses, he would have killed off the two hostages instead of going through the trouble of hiding them.

James scoffed, thinking, "Isn't that obvious? I don't even need to guess."

"I bet you know who's behind all this. Had I strictly followed their orders, you'd both be dead by now," the blond man went on, but he saw no fear in Graham or James. He added, "The Glasses offered us 300 million dollars to take your lives. It's up to you how much you're willing to offer us to save yourselves."

"How much do you want?" James asked. He was willing to pay any price for his life as it was more valuable than money. He was also worried by the sight of Graham's wounded leg. "If you want our money, you have to at least keep us alive, right? Stop Mr. Walter's bleeding now. You won't see a single dime if anything happens to him."

The blond man stared at Graham's wound and agreed, "No problem." He ordered one of his men to stop the bleeding. One could not help but be amazed by the plethora of talents under the blond man. The man bandaged Graham's wound fast, but Graham had to wait until he was sent to the hospital to get the bullet removed.

"I will need 300 million dollars from each of you. A fair price, right? You're both filthy rich anyway," the blond man negotiated. Even though it was a dangerous mission, he was rewarded with equally handsome pay. If Graham and James paid up, adding the Glasses' money, that would be a grand total of 900 million dollars. The group of mercenaries might as well retire after the lucrative deal.
