Chapter 351

Benjamin finally spoke, “I’ll deliver the message.”

With that, he and Sirius helped

other out of the villa.

Outside, over a hundred men glared at them with such hatred that they would’ve been ripped to shreds if looks alone could kill.

“Boss, I don’t understand. We clearly have more leverage…” Henry said with confusion as he looked at Jalen.

Jalen’s face was cold as he remarked, “Ten chips of a hundred each can’t compare to one chip worth ten thousand.”

Narcisse was his everything. He couldn’t take any risks with her safety. Not even a single hair on her head could be harmed.

Henry asked, “Does he know we’re behind Shein’s kidnapping?”

Jalen frowned. “Did any of our men get involved in this?”

Henry thought for a moment and nodded. “Hendrix had us arrange for someone to watch Sebastian. I had one of our men help out…”

The next second, realization dawned on him. It must have been his subordinate’s incompetence that caused the information leak. Thinking of this, he dialed Landon’s number, his face darkening.

“Boss!”

Landon questioned, “Where are you?”

“I’m on my way to claim my reward. I’ll be there soon!”

“Alright.”

Henry ended the call after Landon’s reply, then received a cold glare from Jalen.

“I told you to stay out of this. And you picked unreliable people.”

Henry bowed his head. “It’s my mistake. I’ll make sure he gets taught a proper lesson.”

Jalen sat on the couch and said calmly, “Contact Ryder. Have him bring Hendrix’s family here.”

Henry looked puzzled but didn’t dare to question further.

He called Ryder, one of Jalen’s trusted men, who was in charge of protecting Hendrix’s family.

It was now 4:00 pm.

Six hours had passed since Shein and his family were kidnapped.

At this moment, several trucks filled with cash had arrived outside Trodie Town. Hendrix had also demanded a helicopter from Shein.

For the safety of himself and his children, Shein complied and arranged for one of his private helicopters to be brought in.

Elsewhere, a few people were skulking around Network Nexus. This was an abandoned internet café in Riverwatch District, a property Yuriel had acquired for redevelopment.

With no one guarding it, anyone could enter.

Francis had brought Benjamin and Sirius to the internet café.

Carlisle asked, “Were you followed?”

Francis nodded. “Yes, by quite a few, but I managed to lose them.”

Carlisle was pleased with Francis’s efficiency.

Seeing Benjamin and Sirius covered in wounds, his mood grew heavy. “Ben… are you alright?”

Benjamin forced a grin. “I’ll live.”

Carlisle patted Benjamin’s shoulder, his voice laced with guilt. “You went through hell.”

Benjamin shook his head. “This is nothing.”

Carlisle turned to Shania. “Shania, take them to get patched up.”

Shania nodded. “I’ll get the first–aid kit from the car.”

Just then, Carlisle’s phone rang. It was Jalen.

“Have you seen them?” Jalen’s voice came through.

“Mr. Holder, you’re straightforward as always.”

“I want to hear my daughter’s voice.” Jalen needed to confirm Narcisse was unharmed.

Carlisle handed the phone to Narcisse, who was enjoying some ice cream. “Talk to your dad.”

Narcisse took the phone. “Hello, Daddy.”

Hearing Narcisse’s voice, Jalen’s demeanor softened. “Sweetie, have they treated you well?”

“They’ve been nice. They even bought me ice cream!”

Jalen sighed in relief, smiling. “That’s good. Don’t worry, Daddy will be there soon to get you.”

“Alright, Daddy. I believe you! Narcisse nodded and handed the phone back to Carlisle.

Carlisle took the phone, his tone shifting to one meaning business. “Now, let’s talk terms.”
