Chapter 54 Abduction

The leader of the hooligans took off his fear at the beginning, and then his eyes turned greedy.

"How is our gun?"

The leader whispered to the hooligans beside him.

The hooligan immediately understood what his boss meant. He nodded quickly with excitement in his eyes.

"Don't worry. There are many of them on the second floor!"

After getting a satisfactory answer, the leader became more arrogant.

"Go and tell them. Maybe we need it later." The leader whispered in the gangster's ear.

The hooligan nodded and then went to the second floor when no one noticed.

Watson and his men finished their investigation soon.

The security team nodded slightly with a hint of certainty in their eyes.

Watson took a look and then looked at the leader of the hooligans.

"We just reached an agreement about 5 million dollars."

Watson said in an indifferent tone as if the person in front of him was like a stone on the roadside.

The leader was burning with anger, and his hands drooping on both sides clenched into fists.

Watson saw all this but only disdained.

Watson had long found that the leader of the hooligans had changed his aura. He knew that the other party had no longer feared him, but became greedy.

The leader suppressed the anger in his heart and then became strangely excited.

Since he was so confident, did that mean he could get more money?

The leader looked at the clothes of Watson and others secretly and found that Watson was rich.

In that case, it was reasonable for him to ask for more money.

"I have thought about it. 5 million dollars is too low for such a large processing factory."

Then he raised an index finger and continued, "I've changed my mind. 10 million dollars is better."

When his voice faded away, Austin couldn't help cursing, "10 million dollars? Are you blackmailing me? Is a shabby and abandoned processing factory worth it? I'll give you 5 million dollars as a discount. "

The security team was standing behind Austin with confidence.

Therefore, when he heard the conditions of the leader of the hooligans, he was furious.

Even Locke showed a trace of disagreement on his face.

These people were too greedy.

It was enough for someone to buy such an old and abandoned processing factory, but now he was asking for an exorbitant price.

But Locke didn't say anything. He just looked at the leader of the hooligans in front of him fiercely.

At first, the leader was only intimidated by Watson's imposing manner. Now that he had woken up, he was no longer afraid of him.

"What's wrong? I have lived here with my underlings for a long time, can we not be allowed to have feelings?" The leader said with a weird smile.

Austin's face darkened.

Watson squinted his eyes. He could roughly guess what these people wanted to do.

Judging from their tone, the leader knew that it was not that they didn't have money, but that they felt it was not worth it.

In this case, he should extort more.

Looking at the arrogant and domineering leader, Watson was speechless.

Although there were indeed many people on the other side, it was a little worse than them.

Sometimes, the result could not be decided by the number of people.

"I don't think people like you have any feelings," Watson said contemptuously.

Since the other party had already broken up, he didn't want to continue to pretend to be weak.

Watson's eyes stung the nerves of the leader, making him look ferocious.

"Okay! Come out!" The leader's voice resounded through the whole processing factory.

With the order, five or six hooligans appeared on the second floor, pointing at Watson and the others with AK.

Seeing this, the security team also raised the AK and the rifle in their hands.

The situation suddenly became very critical, and a fierce gunfight might erupt in the next second.

Watson frowned. He didn't expect this to happen.

Although the two sides had almost the same number of people with guns, they were in a bad place from the terrain.

Thinking of this, Watson said in a stern voice, "Put down the gun!"

Even if no one shot, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The leader of the group said complacently, "Can you raise the price now?"

The leader's tone was casual, but there was a hint of threat in his eyes.

Austin and Locke didn't expect this to happen.

When the two of them came to their senses, they were instantly infuriated.

"Shame on you!" Austin's face flushed with anger.

As soon as his words dropped, there was a burst of mocking laughter around. Everyone laughed at Austin's ridiculous fantasy.

"You can also see that we are hooligans. Have you ever seen any hooligan who will keep his word?" The leader looked more and more complacent.

Austin was rendered speechless.

Indeed, no hooligan would keep his promise.

After meditating for a while, Watson finally decided to comfort everyone first.

He knew that if this situation continued, they would suffer losses. It was better to minimize the losses.

"All of you, step back first."

Watson raised one hand to stop Austin.

Compared with Austin, Locke was much calmer, but his blue veins stood out on his arms, revealing his inner feelings.

Everyone didn't retreat immediately but finally compromised under Watson's repeated reproach.

Everyone took a few steps back unwillingly.

Seeing that they acted like this, the smile on the leader's face widened. "Very good! Besides, I need a hostage!"

Watson stared at the leader with a malicious look, regretting underestimating his enemy.

"I'll be the hostage."

As soon as Watson finished speaking, Austin, Locke, and the others couldn't sit still.

"No way!"

"Yes, what if something happens?"

The noise rose one after another, and the leader only felt a little headache.

"That's enough! Just let him be the hostage. I'll release him with 20 million dollars!"

The leader tipped a wink at the hooligan next to him. The hooligan immediately understood and caught Watson.

Watson gritted his teeth in anger. He suspected that he was too unlucky.

The emerald necklace was stolen by the aborigines before, and now he was taken as a hostage.

20 million dollars!

Hearing that, Austin's face turned as pale as paper.

Watson knew that he couldn't take it out, so he said, "Julian will be here soon. You can ask Julian to bring 20 million dollars."

20 million dollars was an astronomical number for Austin and others, but for Julian, who was the daughter of Sir Jacob, it was no more than a series of numbers.

Austin didn't know who Julian was, but Locke knew.

Although Locke was worried about Watson, this was the only way out.

Locke felt very guilty. He thought it was him who caused Watson to end up like this.

Austin, who was standing next to him, also felt the same way.

Watson keenly sensed that the two of them felt guilty and gave the two of them a comforting look.

"Don't worry about me. They have to rely on me to exchange for 20 million dollars. Julian is almost here. You just need to hurry up."

Hearing Watson's words, Austin and Locke had no choice but to leave with the security team, hoping that Julian could arrive earlier.

At the same time, they hoped that Watson could be fine before that and nothing would happen.
