8 Chapter 8
Seeing the Gevano family father and son at odds, I couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.
At this moment, Garrison was so infuriated by his adopted son that his voice began to tremble as he spoke.
“I don’t care what you’re up to, just release my daughter right now!”
But who could have anticipated that Kellan would suddenly turn hostile at this moment?
“Release her? Dream on. I won’t let your daughter go until I get the
money.”
“To fool everyone, I’ve deliberately hidden her in a secret location. All the kidnappers have been paid off by me. Without my orders, Xanthe has no chance of getting out!”
After hearing Kellan’s words, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “Holy shit!”
Talking about kidnapping right in front of the police, you’re really something else, aren’t you?
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the police who had been surrounding me quickly shifted their focus. In no time, they had Kellan subdued.
“Gunner, I suggest you’d better reveal the location of the kidnappers and try to redeem yourself.”
“Otherwise, you’ll spend the rest of your life behind bars.”

Faced with Officer Hudson’s persuasion, Kellan couldn’t care less.
“Don’t try that crap with me, I suggest you let me go quietly, or else…“Kellan struggled to turn his head towards Garrison.
“Xanthe will really die!”
“You… you..”
Garrison instantly clutched his chest, gasping for air, overwhelmed with anger.
No one present had expected things to escalate like this. What started as a fake kidnapping had suddenly turned into a real one. The most ridiculous part was that the kidnapper’s ringleader was standing right in front of them, brazenly making demands in front of the police.
Where could they even begin to make sense of this?
“I’m giving you until midnight to get me a hundred million in cash, plus a car.”
Gunner’s eyes darted around as he started negotiating terms with the police.
I rolled my eyes, looking at him like he was an idiot.
A hundred million in cash?
Putting aside whether banks could even gather that much cash, it would probably take ten large trucks just to transport all that
money.
Even if he got the cash, this guy wouldn’t be able to get away. But I definitely wasn’t going to point that out to him. I just sat

quietly on the couch, continuing to watch his performance.
“Mr. Shaw, could you step outside with me for a moment?*
Officer Hudson suddenly leaned in and whispered in my ear.
I looked at the officer, who seemed about my age, and nodded slightly as I stood up.“I know you could easily stay out of this matter, but I still wanted to ask your opinion.”
“After all, a human life is at stake…”
I shook my head.
“I’m sorry, Officer, but $100 million in cash – there are barely any individuals in the entire country who could produce that kind of money.”
Officer Hudson likely knew it was impossible to gather $100 million in such a short time, but he still couldn’t help asking me.
“What’s the shortest timeframe you’d need?”
“Three days.”
Officer Hudson’s expression turned troubled.
“As a man, I understand you, but as a police officer, I have no choice
but to…”
Perhaps moved by Officer Hudson’s persistence, I let out a quiet sigh.
“Fine, let’s just say I’m doing a good deed.”
