Chapter 484
Natasha was blindfolded halfway through the car ride to Vermillion Base.
The car drove around the windy road for more than twenty minutes before finally arriving at its
destination.
After the car stopped and the door opened, someone spoke. “You can get out of the car now, Miss.”
Natasha did not speak and groped her way out of the car.
As soon as she got out, the person beside her uttered, “Miss, you may also take off the blindfold.”
Only then did Natasha reach out and pull it off.
Blinding sunlight did not hit her eyes as she had expected. All she saw before her eyes was an ordinary
concrete room that was huge and empty.
The car had driven in directly, so she could not see what was happening outside. However, she could
clearly tell what was going on inside.
Looking around, she noticed that many people were walking around, all busy with their own affairs.
Some people were carrying firearms. When they spotted her, they merely threw her a glance without
much emotion as if her appearance was a normal thing. The extra glance they spared her was only
because she was a foreigner.
“Wait here. I'll go and ask General Will to come out,” the man who brought them over said before
turning around and preparing to leave.
Just then, Boss suddenly called out, “Gavin.”
The person who brought them over looked back.
Boss stepped forward and looked at him. After a brief hesitation, he asked, “How is General Will's
mood?”
Gavin broke into a sarcastic grin when he heard that. “What do you think, Boss?”
“I'm sure you know why the general called me over. Can you give me a little advice?”
“Boss, are you not aware of what you did?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoss pursed his lips and mulled over it for a few seconds before responding, “Gavin, I've done my best
for the—”
“Boss!” Gavin cut him off mid-sentence before he could finish speaking. “You should save the
explanation for General Will!”
Just as Boss was about to say something, Will stepped out of the door.
He was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and strong with a stern look on his face, and wearing a
dark green military uniform.
Everyone bowed their heads in unison when they saw him. “General Will.”
Boss followed suit, greeting him with a bow and a salute.
Will walked over and swept his gaze over them before raising his hand.
Only then did everyone lift their heads.
Will first cast a glance at Natasha. He said nothing but shifted his attention to Boss. “So you've finally
shown up.”
Boss' expression stiffened as he looked at the general. “It's my fault that I couldn't complete the
mission, General Will. But I've already tried my—”
“This is not what I want to hear.” Will raised his hand to interrupt him. He had no interest in listening to
his explanation at all. “The mission failed, so you must be punished!”
Boss' gaze darkened by the second, but there were no signs of shock in his eyes as if he had known
for a long time that this would happen.
Seeing that the other man was silent, Will ordered, “Bring the knife over.”
Someone immediately stepped forward and handed him a knife.
Will gave Boss an indifferent look as he asked, “You said it yourself back then that if you failed to
complete the mission, you'd cut your hand off. So? Are you going to do it yourself? Or shall I do it?”
An unfathomable glint appeared in Boss' eyes as he looked at the general with his fists tightly
clenched.
“Okay, looks like you want me to do it!” Will said.
At that moment, someone came forward and held Boss down while another brought over a stool and
forced him to extend a hand.
Natasha merely watched from the side, not saying anything.
While looking at the outstretched hand, Will casually walked over as though he was merely going to
slice a watermelon. “Don't worry. I won't let you be in pain for a long time!”
There was a thin layer of sweat on Boss' forehead, and he looked as if he was debating something as
he kept his eyes on the other man.
Will raised his head and brought the knife down.
Just then, Boss suddenly spoke. “What if I could get you ten times the benefits in return, General Will?”
The knife fell right next to his hand, just a few centimeters away.
A hint of surprise flashed across Will's eyes. “Ten times?”
Boss' face was pale, but he still maintained his composure. “Yes. Although I've failed the mission, I can
get back ten times the profit.”
Hearing that, Will narrowed his eyes before letting out a chuckle. “Are you crazy? Do you know what
you're talking about?”
“Of course I do.”
“If you dare to lie to me, I'll kill you.”
“Should I fail, you can take my life.”
Will narrowed his eyes when he heard the other man speak with such conviction. “Why should I believe
you?”
Boss contemplated for a while, then lifted his gaze and looked at Natasha beside him.
The moment he looked at her, Natasha was filled with a sense of dread.
Their gazes met, and she narrowed her eyes in response.
Upon noticing that the other man was staring at a woman at that moment, the general laughed. “How
are you still in the mood to look at a woman at this time?”
Boss took a deep breath, and a hint of determination shone in his eyes as he said, “General Will, do
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou know who this woman is?”
Natasha was dumbfounded.
Will shifted his gaze to the woman beside him. “Is it important?”
“My failure in this mission was caused by her man,” Boss answered.
Natasha stared at him while silently cursing him and his family.
Upon hearing that, Will began scrutinizing Natasha.
“He is the richest person in Glenport City,” Boss revealed.
Will was momentarily stunned.
Natasha glared at Boss and cursed, “You b*stard!”
Boss acted as if he did not hear her and looked at Will as he continued, “As long as you keep her in
your hands, you need not worry about getting the money.”
“Are you sure that a man would be willing to pay a ransom for a woman?” Will asked.
“Absolutely,” Boss replied.
Will looked at him with doubt in his eyes.
“Because he has already come over,” Boss replied, “and is now looking for her all over the world!”
A hint of hesitation flashed across Will's face.
For those who were tight on funds like them, this was indeed a great temptation.
Hence, after contemplating for a while, Will eyed Natasha from head to toe. “She's indeed a beauty, but
too bad...” As he said that, he turned to look at Boss. “I'll give you two days. If you fail, I'll cut off your
head!”
Boss' pupils shrank when he heard that. “Isn't two days a little too—”
“You should know that my patience is limited, Boss. I never keep worthless people. You are the only
one still standing here despite failing your mission. This is your chance, so don't disappoint me!”
In the end, Boss could only compromise. “Understood!”
Will was about to leave when Natasha stepped forward and said, “Wait a minute!”
Will narrowed his eyes when he heard the other man speak with such conviction. “Why should I believe
you?”
