Chapter 431

Nell had a bad feeling.

As expected, William walked towards her with a grim expression after he hung up the phone.

“Mrs. Leith, it’s too arrogant for you to say that you’re not worth one billion. Gideon is about to arrive, I’ll now bring you outside to get some air, and while we’re at it, let me show you how the dignified president of the Leith Consortium is going to grovel under my feet and beg me like a dog! Haha!”

As William finished speaking, he took out a ragged cloth and stuffed it into her mouth. He then lifted her up and walked outside.

Being gagged, Nell could not speak, so she could only struggle desperately and make noises from time to time.

However, her strength was not worth mentioning to William, he held and tied her with a piece of rope and hung her onto the boat’s mast. Her whole body rose into the air like a flag.

“Mmhm-- Mmhmm-- Mmhm--”

William looked up and glanced at Nell who kept struggling in fear with a cruel smile on his face.

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll let you go once I get the money and after you send me away! Don’t worry, I won’t harm you, I just want the money. There won’t be any benefits for me if I harm you now, Gideon would only chase after me till the end of the world.”

William looked at his watch as he was speaking, “He’ll be here soon! So just pray that we’ll have a successful trade!”

On the other end.

More than a dozen dark green military Hummers parked by the roadside. Gideon sat inside one of the Hummers with a laptop on his lap, skillfully operating something on it.

The Hummer’s door opened and Matthew’s figure came in from the outside.

“President, everyone’s here.”

Gideon had a cold expression on his face, his fingers were typing quickly on the keyboard. Soon, a map with a flashing red dot appeared.

“With this spot as our center of operation, stay on guard underwater and every boat in our surroundings.”

Matthew nodded and said hesitantly, “President, you’re really going to go there by yourself? It’s too dangerous!”

Gideon did not answer him. With that, Matthew knew that he had already made up his mind. There was no point of saying anything else, so he just turned around and continued with his work.

Liam gave Gideon another call.

“Gideon, I’m done arranging everything here, we can start at any time.”

“Alright.” Gideon nodded and after pausing for a few seconds, he said, “Thank you so much.”

“Heh.”

Liam just laughed and said nothing as he hung up.

Gideon also said nothing, he just came out of the Hummer and walked towards the port.

On the fishing boat.

Nell was tied up in the air with the rope strangling her body like knives cutting through her. The pain was unbearable.

She gritted her teeth as she finally managed to spit out the cloth in her mouth. As she saw William who was smoking while holding the rope underneath, the feeling of anger and fear rose.

“William, don’t go any further, even if you get the money, there’s no way you can escape using this fishing boat!

“You’ll have to serve at least 15 years in jail for kidnap and blackmail, so think carefully! What if you get caught? It’s better to just surrender now!”

William looked up and glanced at her coldly. He looked a little lonely and fierce as his burning cigarette flickered in the dark.

“Enough with the nonsense! As long as you’re in my hands, I’ll be able to escape far away with you even with just a wooden plank, let alone an old fishing boat!”

Nell frowned, “Didn’t you say that you’ll release me when you get the money? Why would you want to bring me together?”

“You think that I’m stupid? What if Gideon arranged guards in the surroundings? You need to bring me to a safe place, only then will I let you go!”

“William Cabot, you’re too much! Even if you want to be a kidnapper, at least have the proper ethics of one!

“If you take the money yet you don’t release me, Gideon would surely not give in!

“Just release me now, I promise you, I’ll surely plead for you, I’ll guarantee it with my pride!”

“Why are you saying so much nonsense?”

William threw away his cigarette butt impatiently and looked into the distance in the vast night.

After a while, a figure walked out from the distance. He grinned with a cruel expression and took out his phone to send a message, “He’s here.”

Nell tried to continue persuading him. Although she knew that it would be useless, at least she could divert her own attention by doing so and feel less uncomfortable because of that feeling of weightlessness.

“William, why don’t you let me down first? It’s so uncomfortable to be dangling up here!

“What if you let go of the rope accidentally? Am I going to fall into the lake and become fish food?

“The current is so strong that I'll definitely die if I were to fall down. It doesn’t matter if I lose my life, but your effort will be worthless! Not only will you not get a single cent, but you’ll also die together with me, and that’ll be such a waste!”

She was so annoying that William really wanted to plug his ears with cotton.

“William Cabot! Can you hear me?”

Nell shouted weakly.

“I heard it!”

William finally ran out of patience and shouted, “Shut up! Your man is coming, I’ll let you down once he gives me the money!”

Nell was stunned.

She glanced forward and saw a familiar figure on the port.

It’s Gideon!

He really came?

Nell’s face suddenly went pale.

Even at this time, the first thing that she thought of was not her own safety, it was his injuries.

Spoiled by the President He had such heavy injuries and only managed to be out of danger a few days ago! The doctor did not even allow him to get out of bed, yet he is here now without thinking about his own life?

Nell started to tear up and her heart felt tight. She was really concerned about Gideon.

William’s expression had also become serious, he held the rope tightly and waited for Gideon to get on the boat to negotiate.

There was a small boat by the dock, William commanded Gideon to use it to come over, he was not going to go to shore.

Suddenly, a voice came through William’s bluetooth earphone.

“There’s an ambush! Kill her!”

With just such a short message, William was dumbfounded. He looked up to glance at Nell, then turned over to glance at Gideon who was coming closer.

“Bastard!”

William shouted. Before Nell could even react, there was the sound of a gunshot in the night, “Bang!”

William had drawn out a gun from nowhere and fired a shot in Gideon’s direction, he shouted sternly, “Stop! Don’t come any closer!”

Gideon’s small boat just stopped there.

Nell was stunned, she did not know what was happening.

“Kill her!”

A cold command came through his earphone again.

Yet, William’s eyes flashed and did not listen to the command.

Instead, he started to lower the rope slowly. His panic and fear could be seen from his trembling movements.

On the other hand, Nell could only observe his sudden change of expressions, she did not know why he was like this.
