Chapter 1656

chapter 1656

Zayn had never expected that the world would be this small. Hector Caven was

unexpectedly Tessa’s father.

“Do you know my dad?” Tessa asked in surprise.

Zayn was speechless. He knew him but he was not very familiar with him. Zayn had met

Hector twice, and he had left a very bad impression on Zayn both times. The first time was

when Zayn was about six years old. One year when Zayn’ parents brought to travel

outstation to play, they were suddenly threatened by a few of the hooligans. The leader

was Hector.

At that time, Hector was still very young. He looked like he was in his twenties. He brought

about six men and had forced Zayn’s family of three to a desolate place at the tourist

attraction. He threatened them, holding a knife. “I urge that you let go of the Smith Group.

Otherwise, you will suffer a bad end!” 1

However, what Hector did not expect was that Zayn’s father was not afraid of being

threatened. Zayn’s father put his chest against the knife. “I dare you to stab me to death! If

you do that, then you will be receiving the death penalty! Don’t even dream of getting away

with it in this life! You will be found one day! I’d rather die than surrender to you!”

What he said almost made Hector drop the knife in his hand.

Zayn’s father egged him on. “Come on, stab me to death! stab me now! I’ll see if you can

getaway!”

Hector immediately dropped the knife to the ground.

“Dir-Director Smith, I...I will not kill you anymore. I was not made to kill others anyway, I...”

Hector was so anxious that he started sweating profusely.

The few hooligans behind Hector then raised their legs and kicked him a few times on his

bottom, and they then cursed angrily. “You truly f*cking good at ruining the plan!”

The few hooligans then turned around and scrammed in all directions. Hector was left

alone, and he knelt on the floor. “Director Smith, seeing that I did not kill you, could you

give me...a sum of money?”

Zayn’s father was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Hector with disgust. “Why? You

didn’t kill me so I owe you a favor now?!”

“I-I originally wanted to end the lives of your family of three. If I don’t end your life now, then

the other party will not give me the money! You... You are all alive now. How lucky is that?

Shouldn’t you give me a little money?”

Zayn’s father also did not wish to dwell with Hector any further. “How much do you want?”

“One-one million...no, no, no, five million!” Hector was simply asking for an outrageous

price.

To think that was more than twenty years ago. The Smith Group was in the midst of a crisis

at that time, and this person had the audacity to ask for five million dollars in one swoop.

“Hmph!” Zayn’s father was so angry that his face was completely flushed, “what exactly are

you doing? You failed to kill people so you’re extorting now?”

“No...no, no, no. Director Smith, I...I actually have no choice anymore. I...I owe people

money because of gambling. Including the interest rate, I owed a total of five million. If I

don’t return the money, the other party will kill me!” Hector’s tone was getting softer and

softer.

Zayn’s father glared at Hector. “What exactly is the situation?”

Only then did Hector tell Zayn’s father all about his matter. It turned out that he had been

addicted to the bad habit of gambling earlier on. After he gambled a few times, he had lost

everything including his ancestral home. Later on, he owed a lot more money. The leader

of those debt collectors told him if he still could not pay, then he had to help him kill a

family. Not only did he not have to pay for the money, but he would also give him a sum of

money. Hector only accepted the job as he was desperate and helpless.
