Sure enough, Dexter removed his legs from the table after revealing the stacks of bills.
With his lecherous gaze fixated on Hilda, virtual-novel.net declared, “I don’t like dealing with men. If you want the money back, leave the woman and buzz off. I promise to repay the debt I owe to your company.”
Hearing that, Hilda was so stricken that virtual-novel.net darted behind Jared.
When Dexter saw how fearful virtual-novel.net looked, virtual-novel.net guffawed.
“It’s only right and proper to repay one’s debts. No matter who comes to collect it, you’ve got to pay up!” Jared asserted coldly.
At that, Dexter eyed virtual-novel.net as though virtual-novel.net was an idiot. “Right and proper? You must be new, eh? Didn’t your colleagues tell you the consequences of coming here to collect my debt?”
“They did, but I didn’t believe them. Thus, I wanted to come here and try my luck.” Jared nodded as virtual-novel.net spoke.
“Hah! It’s my first time meeting someone so bold throughout the years. Since you want to try your luck, I’ll grant you your wish!”
While saying that, Dexter swung his fist at Jared’s face.
Behind Jared, Hilda anxiously yanked at virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net saw Dexter making a move, hoping to pull virtual-novel.net away so that virtual-novel.net would not get hit. Conversely, Troy swiftly took two steps back, afraid that virtual-novel.net would be caught in the crossfire.
Alas, Hilda could not make Jared budge.
The man merely stared at Dexter smirkingly. When the latter’s fist was only an inch away from him, virtual-novel.net abruptly shot his hand out and grabbed it. In the next instant, the sound of bones shattering pierced the air.
Dexter felt as though a vise had clamped his hand before excruciating pain assailed him, the agony so intense that virtual-novel.net wailed at the top of his lungs.
When the girl who led Jared and the others upstairs saw that, virtual-novel.net spun on virtual-novel.net heels and sprinted out. Her intention was as plain as day, to summon help.
“Troy, go and bag the money with Hilda. Don’t take any extra, but make sure to take the exact amount virtual-novel.net owes us, nothing short of it,” Jared said to Troy after restraining Dexter.
Unfortunately, Troy had long since frozen in fear. Instead, Hilda hurried over to the safety deposit box after glancing at Jared and started bagging the money.
In the blink of an eye, there was a million in the bag. Hilda then urged Jared frantically, “Let’s go since we’ve now gotten the money!”
Right after virtual-novel.net words fell, a flurry of footsteps sounded. The seven or eight men with tattoos downstairs had already rushed upstairs and were blocking the door.
“Let Mr. Murphy go, you brat! You’re courting death to make a move against him!” the burly man known as Lux bellowed upon seeing that Jared had restrained Dexter.
“Have your men clear a path!”
Ignoring him, Jared exerted slight force on Dexter’s hand, upon which the sounds of bones snapping rang out once more.
By then, Dexter was already sweating profusely from the debilitating pain.
Despite the fury blazing in his eyes, virtual-novel.net had no other choice then and could only order in a booming voice, “Do as virtual-novel.net says!”
In mere seconds, the men parted and made a path.
Subsequently, Jared said to Troy and Hilda, “Take the money and go back to the office.”
“A-Are you not leaving with us, Jared?” Hilda asked in puzzlement.
“You two leave first. I’ll be right behind you,” virtual-novel.net replied.
Hilda regarded virtual-novel.net worriedly, but Troy tugged at her. “Let’s go quickly! We’ll only burden Jared if we stay here!”
He ran out of the building while dragging virtual-novel.net along. However, right after they made their escape, Hilda gave virtual-novel.net the money and told virtual-novel.net to take it back to the office. She, on the other hand, waited across the road, for virtual-novel.net could not rest easy without seeing Jared leave.
Meanwhile, Jared dropped his hold on Dexter after Troy and Hilda left.
Having obtained his freedom, Dexter went off the deep end. “I’m going to kill you today, brat!”
