Chapter 263


    "Of course." Abel gave a scoff. "The Ryker Group and the Adelmar Group would be facing one of our


    biggest crises for our businesses. We''ll probably have to spend all of our money and assets just to buy


    a woman."


    "We''ll probably be aughing stock to others. However, we couldn''t bother ourselves with what


    they might think about this. They might not even understand if we were to exin about it," Benjamin


    said.


    He narrowed his eyes and asked, "However… Wouldn''t Old Mr. Ryker punish you severely if you were


    to proceed with our n?"


    "Isn''t it the same for you as well?" Abel chuckled quietly. "You just hold the position of the CEO in the


    Adelmar Group, after all."


    Benjamin fell silent upon hearing Abel''s response.

    The actual owner of the Adelmar Group is Emmeline. However, I''ll use whatever means avable if it


    means that we can save her.


    "Don''t worry. I''m willing to go as far as to sacrifice myself and mypany just to save Emma. We will


    get her out of that ce safely!" Abel said.


    "Alright!" Benjamin held his hand out toward Abel. "We''ll prepare as much funds as we can get. Then,


    we''ll work together to save Emma on the day of the auction!"


    Abel took Benjamin''s hand and gave it a firm shake. "We''ll prepare the funds and the firearms


    simultaneously!"


    "Of course!"


    Soon afterward, they called for Ethan and Janie. Then, Benjamin briefly exined their current


    situation to them.


    For a moment, both Ethan and Janie were at a loss for words upon learning that the Imperial Pce


    was using Emmeline to threaten both the Ryker Group and the Adelmar Group.


    "You can''t tell anyone about this." Benjamin looked at Janie. "Especially you, Janie!"


    Janie nodded vigorously. "I know! I know! Emma''s life and death are on the line, after all."


    "Mr. Benjamin, how do we rescue Emma from that ce, though? I can''t just wait and do nothing while


    my sister gets sold off as a product to someone else?!" Ethan asked dejectedly.


    "The Ryker Group and the Adelmar Group will work together in rescuing Emmeline. You have nothing


    to worry about," Benjamin replied.


    "We will find a way to save her, but we can''t tell you more about the details of our ns," Abel added.


    Ethan''s eyes were bright with tears. "I can''t thank the two of you enough for this! I''m sure Emma would


    be thankful if she knew what you guys were doing for her."


    After that, Abel returned to his office at the Ryker Group''s building. His secretary brought him a parcel


    as soon as he got there.


    Abel dismissed his secretary and sat down in his chair. A frown marred his handsome features as he


    opened the parcel. He had an inkling what the contents of the parcel would be even though he had yet


    opened it.


    Inside the parcel, Abel found the invitation card sent by the Imperial Pce. It was an exquisitely


    decorated card that stated the time and date of the underground auction.


    They are holding the auction in three days.


    I guess our enemy isn''t allowing us too much time.


    Just then, Abel received a call from Benjamin.


    "Did you receive your invitation, Mr. Abel?"


    "Mhm. I''m looking at it right now."


    "We only have three days to prepare for it."


    "That''s more than enough time for me." Abel said, "I''ll have 300 million dors ready."


    "Me too."


    "Also… The firearms." Abel''s voice hardened.


    "We should go for it!"


    "I guess all of the military training I''ve gone through for almost five years wille in handy finally."


    Abel frowned slightly. "By the way, I''ve noticed that you have pretty decent fighting skills as well. Where


    did you learn how to fight like that, Mr. Benjamin?"


    "That''s a topic for another day." Benjamin replied, "We should start with our preparations."


    "Alright."


    After ending the call, Benjamin instructed Janie, "Tell Mr. Fletcher toe and see me now."


    Soon enough, Dennis Fletcher, the deputy general manager of the finance department, showed up in


    Benjamin''s office. He greeted, "Mr. Benjamin, what can I do for you?"


    "Get 300 million dors ready and wire them into my personal ount in three days'' time," Benjamin


    said.


    "300… 300 million dors?!" Dennis gasped involuntarily. "Mr. Benjamin, if we make such a huge


    transfer out within three days'' time, it''ll cause serious disruption for our business."


    "We don''t need to worry about those issues for now." Benjamin replied, "Just do as I say. I want to see


    the money in my bank ount in three days."


    "Understood." Dennis dabbed a handkerchief lightly against his sweaty forehead.


    At the same time, inside the building of the Adelmar Group.


    "What?! 300 million dors?!"
