Chapter 4331
“It’s been a while, Mr. Pagan! You’re still as lively as ever!”
The woman in a jacket stood up with a rippling smile after seeing Wes and the others show up.
That said, her expression seemed quite distant.
Harvey carefully sized her up, and then realized she was a killer pretty high up on the leaderboard.
If not, her murderous intent wouldn’t be that apparent.
Wes’s expression changed instantly after seeing the woman’s face.
“Ah! Phantom !” he said after chuckling coldly.
“I was wondering who dared to steal my family’s goods before coming to negotiate with me…”
“I finally understand after seeing your face here.”
Wes then sat casually on a couch.
“That said, I’m afraid you’ll have to repay me for this, no matter who’s supporting you behind the scenes.”
“Repay you?”
Phantom smiled gently.
“What kind of statement would you prefer?”
“Do you want my life? Or do you want my money instead?”
“I can tell you the people in charge of moving your antiques are all dead.”
“The antiques are all with me as well.”
“That said, those people probably don’t mean much to you…”
“Unlike the goods, am I right?”
“After all, a few of them even came from your family’s ancestors!”
“You finally managed to find them, too…”
“Who knew someone would be bold enough to steal them from you?”
“Say, would you be willing to forgive me for my recklessness if I return those goods to you in one piece? Maybe we’ll have a chance to work together in the future.”
Phantom took a step forward and narrowed her eyes.
“If you give me a chance, I guarantee you that our collaboration will be second to none.”
Lachlan clicked his tongue, his eyes a disdainful glare.
He thought he’d be able to show off his prowess…
Who knew that the seemingly impressive killer would give in as soon as she saw Wes’s face?
‘She’s just a small fry, after all!’
Harvey frowned.
Phantom clearly had ulterior motives for getting in Wes’s good graces.
He’d suffer huge losses if he got tricked by such a front.
Wes squinted, a profound look on his face.
“You killed my men, you stole my goods, and then came out here for a negotiation…” he said as he looked at Phantom.
“What do you want?”
“Revenge? Or blackmail?”
Wes clapped.
His family bodyguards quickly spread out.
The people behind Phantom took a step forward at the same time.
Their heads were raised up high. Their hands were filled with calluses; it was clear they were all professionals.
Even after seeing Wes’s bodyguards armed with firearms, these people didn’t show a hint of fear.
