Chapter 260
“Who’s that? I don’t know him,” Silas barked.
“He’s my friend whom you took away from my company. Hand him over.” At the same time, Timothy’s blood was starting to boil as well. Clearly, Silas was doing this on purpose and refused to release Henry.
For an evil person like him, he definitely has a plan to deal with us and is just playing for time now, Timothy reckoned, but at the thought that Nicholas and his men were still outside, he somewhat felt a little more confident.
It had previously crossed Timothy’s mind that such a thing would happen. Usually, Silas would just clown around a little and bluff his way through. Even if Silas was up to no good, so what? As long as he hadn’t shown his last card yet, he still had the advantage in the situation.
Stealing a peek at the surveillance in the house, Silas sneered. “You’re just a useless bum who can’t even protect your friend, and that guy named Henry is equally useless as well. He can’t even put up a fight. All of you who can’t do anything useful are called useless bums. So what if you’re just a little smarter? Didn’t you end up in my hands just the same?”
Timothy’s eyes turned bloodshot from anger; he hated it the most when someone called him useless, and he couldn’t take it that his friend was hurt because of him. In one shot, Silas had struck two of his bottom lines, and this made him furious.
Taking a big step forward, he grabbed Silas by the collar and roared at him angrily, “What did you do to Henry? Say it!”
Even when he was being held by his collar, Silas still had a sneer on his face as he cast a nonchalant look at his son. “Go on, Go ahead and hit me, If I’m dead, nobody will be able to find him again.”
A frustrated Timothy raised his fist high and aimed it at Silas’ face. “Hand him over.”
“You’re asking for it. If it’s a dead end you seek, then don’t blame me for being heartless, son,” Silas said and snorted. Then, he shouted at the door, “Come out quickly!”
A group of bodyguards barged into the house and surrounded Timothy and Tessa. While outnumbering them and being stronger, the bodyguards yanked Silas and Amber out of their hands easily.
The tables turned instantly and Silas glanced at Tessa, his own flesh and blood. without any emotions in his eyes. “Give me what I want and let Sophia go. Then I’ll consider letting the both of you go. From now on, we’ll never interfere with each other ever again,” he said indifferently.
Tessa snorted. “Dream on.”
“That’s fine as well; it’s not bad to keep the both of you here. I’ll provide you with the daily necessities and keep the both of you in the cellar. If I die of starvation, both of you won’t live either,” he sniggered.
Not only was Tessa unafraid of what he said, she burst into a chuckle instead. “Silas, you can’t bear to die. Even if we give you what you want, you won’t let us go, for sure. In fact, you plan to keep us prisoners as well, right?” After pausing for a second, she added, “Are you planning to imprison both of us separately and force Tim to work for you or you’ll kill me? Or vice versa? Silas, I didn’t think that you remain the same, greedy and disgusting as you’ve always been.”
That was Silas’ plan indeed, and he directly stopped his disguise when his plan was exposed, sneering, “Since you don’t know what’s good for you and want to seek death, then I won’t be courteous anymore. The ending will be the same, anyway. Isn’t it just a USB flash drive? You think I won’t be able to find it? So what if it’s encrypted? There will be plenty of people who can decrypt it, but I can’t be so sure about the treatment that the both of you will receive.”
With a wave of his hand, the bodyguards quickly restrained Tessa and Timothy. After that, Silas raised his hand and wanted to slap Tessa as punishment when a clear but icy voice echoed from the door.
“Stop.”
Nicholas walked through the door with a group of bodyguards and stared grimly at the raised hand which had yet to strike Tessa. Walking forward briskly, he served Silas with a kick.
The kick was so strong that it sent Silas to the floor and he rolled over a few times on the floor before coming to a stop while clutching his abdomen, feeling as though all his internal organs were sent flying as well with this kick.
“Silas!” Amber shrieked in shock. She no longer watched the fun and lunged forward to check up on Silas, but the bodyguards held her back firmly and she was unable to move.
