Chapter 787 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Kevin was well aware of the obstacles in his path that Jenny brought up. More than that,

he wanted to understand her motive. Perhaps, he now had a newfound respect for her

because she had survived their attack. "Miss Walter, what do you want out of this?’

"My goal is simple; do not lay a finger on your hostages. If you're worried about revenge

from the Glasses, I can solve that problem for you." Jenny was satisfied with her proposed

solution. Kevin had no good reason to turn her down unless he didn't want to get out of

Clusia safely.

Indeed, Kevin hesitated at the attractive offer. The problem of leaving Clusia after getting

the ransom weighed heavily on his mind.

Jenny remained calm in the face of his silence. At the same time, she urged Neil to work

faster to locate Graham and James.

Two minutes later, Kevin chuckled. 'Til consider your suggestion."

"Great. I'll wait for your reply," Jenny replied. Kevin hung up soon after when she did not

insist on staying on the line. Pushing it too far might attract his suspicion. All her efforts

would go down the drain if he moved his men elsewhere. After the call, she hurriedly

asked Neil, "Have you located them? N

"I don't have the exact location, but I know they're in a small town further south of

Glensbury. This town borders Bardoff City," he answered.

She had no further questions as she stood up to leave. "Look into that town for any place

related to wood."

Graham gave her a crucial hint when he mentioned the smell of wood in the air. He was

trying to reveal to her the details of the location where they were kept. With one sentence,

Graham had helped with the search under their current limitations.

Jenny rushed to the small town from Bardoff City with her team. It would take them a good

forty minutes, meaning they only had twenty minutes to start the search locally before

they had to wire the ransom. Money was never an issue for Jenny. She was more worried

that Kevin would kill off his hostages after receiving the transfer. That was why she

refused to wire the money until the very last minute.

Meanwhile, Kevin had left the room where he kept Graham and James at the logging

factory. He lit a cigarette in the yard, debating whether to kill his hostages according to

plan or keep them alive for Jenny's help in crossing the border. He had no doubt about her

capabilities because she was a Walter, one of the Ten Elites. The threat hanging over him

was mainly from the Walters and the Windsors. If the Walters could take care of the police,

crossing the border would be a piece of cake.

One of his men came over and asked, concerned, "Boss, are we releasing those two after

we get the money?"

"What do you think?" Kevin shot back.

"We can't let them go. They look dangerous. If we release them, they'll be after us in the

next second. We'll be screwed," the man opined.

Kevin nodded in agreement. However, he knew that Jenny wouldn't take it lying down if

they killed Graham and James. He felt a headache creeping up at the thought.

Some serious thinking later, he got an idea. "Let's not do anything to them. We'll get Jenny

Walter to help us cross the border. At that time, we will kill them off. We get to leave Clusia

and not worry that they'll take revenge. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?’

Jenny wouldn't pull any tricks as long as Graham and James were in captivity. Kevin

grinned, confident in his foolproof scheme to secure the ransom and make a clean

getaway from Clusia.
