Chapter 997


    Hugo''s man waved the knife in front of Richard, making him feel dizzy. Despite being pinned down,


    Richard tried to keep hisposure and strategize.


    "I said not to kill him. Follow orders, and you''ll get your payment."


    The man grinned upon hearing this. "Sure thing. Where do you want us to take this guy?"


    Hugo nced around. "Corner of the abandoned warehouse on the west."


    "Got it."


    Then the man kicked Richard. With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he sneered, "Why aren''t


    you running? You were lively earlier. Now you''ve got me running, gasping for breath."


    "Don''t touch me." Richard red at the man, seething.


    "Oh, now you''re acting tough, thinking you''re still the high and mighty president, huh? If Mister Hugo


    hadn''t asked me to spare you, I''d have killed you already."


    "You b*stard."


    "Who the hell are you cursing?" The man flicked his cigarette and kicked Richard again, scraping a


    knife on his face. "Mister Hugo said not to kill you, but I can have some fun. You better behave, or


    I''ll mess up your handsome face. We''ll see how you can charm thedies then."


    Richard lifted his head, showing no fear. "What''s your name?"

    One of the menughed. "Look at him, Dick, calm as a cucumber. Do you think you deserve to


    know our boss''s name?"


    Dick squatted in front of him, showing his yellow teeth, the smell of smoke wafting. "I''ll f*cking tell


    you then. I''m Dickson Reed. Remember your daddy''s name."


    Richard sneered, "Got it."


    Dickson ignored him, gesturing to his men to take Richard away in the rain.


    When they met, Pearl noticed Richard''s stained shirt, eyes shing with anger. She wouldn''t let


    them off easily.


    "Here''s the man you asked for, Mister Hugo." With a nod to one of his men, Dickson forcefully


    pushed Richard to his knees.


    "Here''s your money…"


    Dickson chuckled, his eyes greedily fixed on the cash.


    "Do you think I''d shortchange you? I''ve transferred the money to your ount. Check it when you


    get back."


    "Thanks a lot, Mister Hugo. If you need anything else in the future, just let me know."


    "Alright, that''s enough. You can go now." Hugo waved him off, tired of the formalities.


    Dickson got the message and didn''t say anything else. He nodded and bowed before walking away,


    leaving Richard tied up. With the heavy rain, there was no need to clean up any traces.


    Hugo squatted by Richard and patted his face. "Richard, did you ever think you''d end up like this in


    my hands?"
