Chapter 340 Eight of the assailants stepped out of their cars, each wielding a submachine gun.
"Shit..." Joshua trembled with fear.
He dropped the kitchen knife and sprinted back into the town.
He yelled, "Run! They have guns!" The town residents had never seen such a scene. A wave of panic washed over them. They dropped their tools and scattered in all directions.
Trey's smile froze on his face. It took him a good ten seconds to recover.
"A bunch of traitors and cowards... It's really disheartening!" he muttered bitterly.
Shein sighed lightly.
"It's not their fault. Mr. Collins, you should head back into the town too. Their target is me." "What are you saying? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would abandon you out of fear?" Trey responded angrily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShein chuckled, feeling a bit comforted.
Despite Trey's usual grumbling, he didn't abandon Shein in the face of danger. This loyalty reassured Shein that his investments in the town weren't entirely wasted.
More than 20 assailants entered the town, brandishing long, gleaming knives.
Trey caught sight of the weapons and gulped nervously.

"Yes, I'm Shein Thompson." The leader praised, "You're not scared at all. As expected from a well-experienced tycoon. Don't worry. We're only here for money. We don't intend any harm.” Shein felt a bit relieved when he heard they were only there for money.
Chapter 340 2/3 "How much do you want?" The leader held up three fingers, Shein chuckled.
"Three million dollars?" The leader burst into laughter and turned to his comrades.
"Mr. Thompson has quite a sense of humor." His accomplices laughed along.
Shein continued, "Well, 30 million dollars wouldn't be out of the question." The leader's smile faded, replaced by a sinister expression.
"Mr. Thompson, do you think your life is worth just 30 million dollars?" Shein narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You want 300 million dollars?" The leader laughed again.
*300 million dollars wouldn't even dent your empire, would it?" Without waiting for Shein to respond, he added, "Besides, the 300 million dollars isn't just for your life. It's for the lives of your entire family." "Dad!" Zachary's voice cfrom behind.
Shein turned to look.
He saw Zachary and Wanda being escorted by over a dozen assailants. Their bodyguards were bound, with socks stuffed in their mouths.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShein resignedly closed his eyes, feeling a heavy weight on his chest.
The leader smiled and said, "Mr. Thompson, do you still think 300 million isn't worth it?"
Shein replied calmly, "I can give you the money, but I need to contact my e company's finance department." The leader took out a phone and handed it to Shein.
"We have a mobile base station in the car. You can make a call with this phone."
Shein caught the phone and djaled the number for the finance om department, Zachary and Wanda were pushed next to him, both pale with fear. Zachary asked in a low voice, "Dad, how much are they asking for?" Shein didn't respond.
Chapter 340 3/3 The call connected.
He finally spoke, "This is Shein. Transfer 300 million dollars immediately." The leader interjected, "I want cash." Shein sneered.
"Do you know what 300 million in cash looks like?" The leader fired several shots into the air, then aimed his gun at Wanda.
"Mr. Thompson, you're a busy man, and I have limited patience.I suggest you stop asking unnecessary En questions." X
