Chapter 667 Make Them Disappear
That day, Kyla finally got a response from R Organization.
A cold, robotic voice came through the line, โWeโve decided to take the job. One life costs 30 million. If you want all three targets eliminated, the total is 90 million. Are you ready to proceed?โ
โNinety million? Seriously? Those three are nobodies! No protection, no power, nobody would even notice if they dropped dead. Canโt you give me a better deal?โ Kyla blurted out.
She couldnโt help trying to bargain.
Yes, she had a hundred million in her account, but blowing almost all of it in one go?
That would leave her with just ten million.
And weโre talking 90 million here! More money than most people could earn in ten lifetimes.
Just thinking about it made Kylaโs heart ache.
โThatโs the price. You have one minute to decide. If you decline, the deal is canceled automatically. However, youโll still owe us a tenโmillion inconvenience fee for wasting our time.โ
The voice on the other end didnโt budge. It remained as cold and mechanical as before.
Kyla nearly had an aneurysm.
They hadnโt even officially started, and they were already charging her? What kind of extortion logic was that? This is basically highway robbery!
But Kyla didnโt dare argue.
Even if she didnโt fully understand how dangerous R Organization truly was, Tobias had made one thing crystal clear: if she pissed them off, she wouldnโt live to regret it.
Even Tobias himself wouldnโt dare cross a giant like R Organization.
So Kyla had no choice but to accept their price.
The other end sent her a burner message with a selfโdestructing bank account number.
She was told to transfer 90 million within one hour.
Just as she ended the call, her phone buzzed again; James was calling.
A flicker of cold fury flashed through Kylaโs eyes. She forced down the disgust in her chest and answered with a flat tone, โWhat do you want?โ
Jamesโs voice came through, putting on a fake layer of panic. โKyla, your sister suddenly came down with a high fever, and sheโs in the hospital. The doctors said itโs serious. You need to come see her right away!โ
Kylaโs temper snapped. โSister? I donโt have a sister. Even if you two really are my biological parents, that doesnโt mean I recognize her as my soโcalled sibling. I have zero connection to her! And sheโs in the hospital with a fever? Isnโt that your job as parents to pay for it? Why the hell are you calling me?โ
โKyla, how could you say something like that? You know our situation. We can barely afford daily expenses or hotel stays right now. Where are we supposed to get the money to cover hospital bills? If you wonโt help, then I guess Iโll just have to go talk to Mr. Jenson. Heโs a kind man, Iโm sure he wouldnโt just stand by and watch a child suffer.โ
Faced with Jamesโs threat, Kyla let out a cold laugh. โYou? James, if you really go to Dad and make a scene, you wonโt get a single cent out of me. If I get kicked out of the Jensons, I lose everything. So go ahead, try it. Letโs see who wins.โ
James scoffed, his tone turning sharp and bitter. โWith that attitude, what do I have to lose? Maybe if I tell Mr. Jenson the truth about you, Iโll get something out of it. I mean, look at you; you wonโt even lift a finger to help your own little sister whoโs lying sick in a hospital. Cold-blooded. Heartless. Fine. Letโs just burn everything to the ground, then. Iโm sick of begging someone like you. Let me tell you something, Kyla, I donโt owe you anything. If it werenโt for me, you wouldnโt even exist. Youโve spent 18 years living the high life, enjoying eliteโlevel resources most people could never dream of. Maybe itโs time you gave something back to your real father.โ
Jamesโs expression twisted with rage.
It wasnโt that he had forgotten his original plan to play nice with Kyla in order to get money out of her.
But no matter what he tried over the past few days, Kyla had shown zero reaction.
Not even when he mentioned Jessie being hospitalized with a high fever. She still acted like she didnโt give a damn.
At this rate, they were just throwing money away.
Their funds were drying up, and Kyla clearly wasnโt going to lift a finger to help. So what was the point?
James finally snapped. His true nature came out.
Did Kyla really think that just because he treated her a little nicer and threw her some sweet talk, she could suddenly act like she was untouchable?
Delusional.
If that plan didnโt work, he might as well blackmail the Jensons, grab a decent payout, and vanish.
That was better than continuing to kiss up to Kyla and getting absolutely nothing for it.
Sure enough, the moment James threatened to go to the Jensons, Kyla fell silent.
At that point, Kylaโs rage was boiling over. Her desire to see James and the others wiped off the face of the earth was getting harder and harder to suppress.
She could barely hold it in.
All she wanted was to send the money to R Organization right now and erase them completely.
Because if James actually went to Russell and Blair, everything she had built would collapse.
Taking a deep breath to force down the hatred twisting inside her, Kyla spoke through clenched teeth, โFine. You want money, right? How much?โ
James let out a mocking laugh. โKyla, do you have to be so coldโblooded? If youโd just shown a little kindness to your sister from the start, we wouldnโt be here. The doctor said between the hospital stay, procedures, and followโup care, itโll cost 50 grand.โ
