Chapter 29

"Do you think my girlfriend is worth that less to you?" "You're insulting me," Donald snarled.

"Uh... This..." the kidnapping leader muttered to his friends, "then... Fifty million? Prepare a 50,000 remuneration!"

"Are you certain she's worth $50 million?"

"Uh..."

"I'll give you the opportunity to boost the price," Donald mumbled absentmindedly.

In disbelief, I expanded my eyes! How could he discuss the ransom with the abductor in this manner? Was $50 million insufficient? More??

"Then... one hundred million! Oh, no! 500,000,000!" The kidnapper exchanged glances with his companions for a while and said, "yes, you're right. You can't save her until you give $500 million!"

My eyes nearly popped out. 500,000,000,000! How dare they say such a thing! How did I get to be worth $500 million?

"The transaction's time and location." Donald was as at ease at business as he was at home.
