Chapter 919
Elon had expected his status as the eldest son of the Golding family to make Andrew bow down in submission. Yet, Andrew did not give him the time of day.
Instead, he showed up alone with Michael, ready to negotiate. Despite facing over a hundred elite bodyguards from the Golding family, Andrew showed no fear. In fact, he took Michael hostage right under their noses.
Elon, representing the Golding family, had seen his fair share of challenges over the years, but this level of disrespect was a first. It ignited a deep, cruel rage within him.
How dare this nobody, this insignificant ant, challenge someone from one of the Five Apex Families? Andrew had to be crushed.
Kenny glared at the knife in Andrew’s hand, sneering. “You didn’t expect this, did you? You thought you were the only one with leverage? Well, guess what? We’ve got your woman. Bet you didn’t see that coming!”
Andrew smirked, his tone calm. “I knew you had Fran the moment she was taken. That’s why I sent Mr. Warren to investigate. She’ll be rescued soon.”
Elon burst out laughing, his voice dripping with disdain. “You’re delusional! The Golding family handled this. Do you really think that fat pig Donald can find her? Even if he could, do you think the Jayrodale police would dare cross the Golding family? Donald would be out of a job by tomorrow!”
Kenny grinned viciously. “You hear that, Andrew? That’s the power and influence of my son-in-law. Your woman is in our hands, and you’re completely at our mercy. So, get on your knees and accept your punishment. I promise we won’t make your death too painful.”
Andrew chuckled, then suddenly asked, “Elon, if I had to guess, you handed Fran over to one of the Golding family’s top enforcers, didn’t you?”
Elon didn’t deny it, his voice filled with arrogance. “You’re not as dumb as you look. Of course, I wouldn’t keep a hostage with me. Francesca is being guarded by one of our semi-martial kings. So, do you really think Donald the pig stands a chance?”
Andrew shook his head. “I never expected Mr. Warren to risk his neck for me.”
Kenny sneered. “Then why even call him? Just to make a fool of yourself?”
Andrew smiled. “No, I just wanted to see if you’d be stupid enough to bring Fran with you. Turns out, you’re not that dumb. That’s a relief.”
Elon’s face darkened. “Playing mind games, huh? Kid, you’re way out of your league. What’s next? Are you going to tell me your people have already found Francesca and rescued her?”
Andrew nodded. “You’re catching on, fatty. By now, it should be done.”
Elon burst into mocking laughter. “You’re unbelievable, Andrew. I’m the heir to the Golding family, but even I can’t match your level of arrogance!”
His expression turned icy. “Jayrodale is a big city. If you think you can find Francesca’s location in such a short time, you must think you’re some kind of god. And let’s not forget, one of our semi-martial kings is guarding her. Even if your people somehow stumble upon her, they’ll be walking straight into their deaths!”
Kenny could not contain his impatience. “Elon, stop wasting time with him. Make him release Michael, or we kill Francesca!”
Elon was about to respond when the entrance to the hotel lobby suddenly flooded with people. Nearly 1000 members of Jayrodale’s underground forces had arrived, filling the space with an intimidating presence.
