Chapter 1703


    "Young Master Brown, I invited the two of you over because I need a favor from you. By the way, I


    hope you guys can forgive my subordinates for being rude." The person who spoke was Sheldon,


    who seemed to be rtively amicable. He had a smile on his face, a typical smile that concealed


    bloodlust behind it.


    There were two chairs at the side. Levi pulled Monique over to sit on one unabashedly. "Mr. Gilbert,


    since you''ve gone to these lengths to invite me here, it must not be a small favor, I assume?" Levi


    asked.


    "This matter is of great importance to us, but to you, it''s as small as it can be," Sheldon answered


    as he waved his hand, directing someone to bring him two cups of tea. "Young Master Brown,


    please have some tea."


    "Thank you," Levi responded. Whether the tea was drugged or not, Levi would definitely not drink it.


    He then asked in response, "Mr. Gilbert, please tell me what favor you need from me."


    "It''s a very easy thing, actually." Sheldon smiled. "We just need you to call your father, Colonel


    Brown, to ask him to provide us with some weapons."


    "Well, it indeed sounds quite easy. It seems that it could be solved with just a word from Colonel


    Brown," Levi responded. It turned out that the reason this crafty old man did noty a finger on them


    was because of this.


    Weaponry was the most important thing in national defense for any country. Thus, it could not be


    handed out to others randomly. To think that this piece of sc*m had brazenly said that it was a ''very


    easy thing''.


    Even if Levi was willing to call Neil, Neil wouldn''t betray the country for his sake. Sheldon had truly


    underestimated Neil.


    "Well then, Young Master Brown, please call Colonel Brown now." As soon as Sheldon finished


    speaking, someone handed over a mobile phone. "Young Master Brown, here you go."


    "I can make this phone call, but on one condition," Levi said. Since the other party smiled and


    pretended to be courteous to them, he would y along with them as well. "Send my partner back


    first. I will make this call after she gets home safely," he requested. "This little girl must be your


    lover, right? Your lover is our esteemed guest too. As long as we get what we want, I promise we''ll


    send her out of Xanduvia City safely." Sheldon refused Levi''s request. From the moment he saw


    Levi holding Monique''s hand, he had already guessed that their rtionship was definitely not just


    that of purerades-in-arms.


    However, he could not confirm it until this instant. Levi''s request to send thedy away first was all


    the confirmation he needed. Since they had gotten such an important bargaining chip, there was no


    reason for them to let her go before they got what they wanted.


    "Mr. Gilbert, you''re a very sharp man. You could tell that she and I have a special rtionship at a


    nce," Levi admitted straightforwardly. He had been smiling all the while. No one could guess


    what he was thinking.


    On the contrary, Levi''s reaction made Sheldon hesitate a little. Levi was not a naive rich kid. They


    had exhausted many avenues to finally catch him.


    The straightforward manner in which Levi admitted it made Sheldon doubt the rtionship between


    him and Monique. Perhaps, he truly just wanted to ensure that she would leave here safely, without


    any other reason than human conscience.


    "Young Master Brown, I''ve taken into consideration that you are a noble, so you may not be


    ustomed to using old things. This mobile phone and SIM card are both newly bought," Sheldon


    said. It was clear that he was eager to ask Levi to call Neil, but he didn''t say it directly and kept


    beating around the bush.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    "Mr. Gilbert, it''s almost dawn now. I''m really exhausted after not sleeping for the whole night. Why


    don''t you arrange for the two of us to rest first? When I''m well-rested, we''ll have a proper discussion


    about anything you wish," Levi said. In fact, he was also good at ying these kinds of games of


    trickery.


    Sheldon and everyone present could see that Levi was stalling for time. However, even if Levi was


    in their hands currently, they were still in an unfavourable position.


    The main reason that they were disadvantaged was that their weapons supply was running short


    and they had insufficient funds to purchase new ones. Hence, they could only think of other ways to


    increase their supply. Now that Levi was in their hands, if they demanded weapons from Neil, Neil


    would not dare refuse for the sake of his precious son.


    Sheldon and Edward had been hatching this n for a long time. There was only one step left at


    this time. As long as Levi made the phone call, they would know the results of their efforts right


    there and then.


    Sheldon maintained a polite smile and said, "Young Master Brown, since you''re exhausted, I''ll ask


    someone to send you back to a room to rest first."


    "Thanks," Levi replied.


    With a wave from Sheldon, someone approached instantly and led Levi upstairs. After taking two


    steps, Levi heard Sheldon saying again, "Young Master Brown, this double-story house of mine


    doesn''t look very sturdy. Thieves often break into it in the past. After being broken in a few times,


    Ben and Mark managed to think of a way to set up hidden weapons around the house. If there are


    thieves who break in again, they''ll be heavily injured even if they don''t die."


    "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Gilbert," Levi responded. This was a warning, an obvious


    warning. Levi definitively understood what he meant. However, he did not give much of a reaction


    and continued pulling Monique upstairs instead.


    Downstairs, Edward was furious. Heined, "Mr. Gilbert, it''s obvious that the dude is trying to


    buy time. If we don''t teach him a lesson, he won''t obediently call Neil."


    Sheldon patted Edward''s shoulder and exined earnestly, "Edward, we have his life in our hands


    now. His very life depends on our moods. However, don''t forget that the thing we need the most is


    in his father''s hands. It depends on him whether we can get it or not. Currently, we don''t have the


    upper hand."


    Sheldon had a clear view of the situation. As they finally had an opportunity to get what they


    wanted, they mustn''t ruin it because of Levi''s misbehaviour.


    It wasn''t that Edward didn''t understand these things. What he was mad about was Levi''s attitude. If


    he hadn''t tried his best to control his temper earlier on, he might have already instructed his


    subordinates to teach Levi a lesson.


    Edward then asked again, "We can''t hurt Levi, but we can at least do something to the girl next to


    him, can''t we?"


    Sheldon waved his hand to stop him. "Although we don''t know if they are a couple or not, what Levi


    said just now was a clear indication that he values that girl very much. If something happens to her,


    there is no way that he will make the phone call. We can''t let a girl ruin our whole n."


    Edward asked again, "So we can''t do anything to Levi or the girl. Are we just going to let the two


    young people string us along?"


    Sheldon patted Edward''s shoulder again. "Edward, sometimes you''re calmer than me, and you''ll


    think over many possibilities before you act. But, why is it that you''re so impatient about this


    matter?"


    Edward stuttered, "I..."


    Sheldon said again, "Levi is already in our hands. What''s the difference if he''s unscathed or


    injured? You should calm down and wait. Let''s see what tricks he tries on us tomorrow."
