A Fruitful Harvest

Joe walked to the balcony and answered the phone. As soon as the call connected, he heard the voice on the other end saying, "Mr. Louise, I've found the information you asked me to investigate."

"Really?!" A hint of joy appeared on Joe's face. However, the next moment, he heard the person on the other end saying, "I suffered heavy losses to investigate Miss Shannon, so I need additional payment!"

A mocking expression appeared on Joe's handsome face. Whether the losses were real or not, in his eyes, it was just an excuse for the other party to demand more money.

"Speak, how much do you want?" Joe said indifferently.

The person on the other side seemed to have been waiting for Joe to ask this question. Without any hesitation, he blurted out, "Two million!"

"You're asking for a lion's share!" Joe's expression suddenly darkened. "Moreover, why should I give you this money before getting what I want?"
