Chapter 2253: Blueprints in Exchange for a Son
Editor: Atlas Studios
“What else?” Xia Zhe continued to ask.
“Aren’t these things enough? Didn’t you get close to me to get these blueprints?” Jessica said in shock.
“These are indeed what I want, but they’re not enough to satisfy me because I also have Daniel in my hands. I can use him to threaten Alan into exchanging the blueprints for his most precious son,” Xia Zhe said.
Jessica turned to look at Ella, who nodded to confirm what Xia Zhe said. After hesitating for a moment, Jessica began to laugh loudly, unable to control the excitement in her heart.
Shocked by this, Ella put a hand on Jessica’s shoulder and asked, “Darling, are you all right? What’s wrong?”
“That’s great! That damned beast has finally fallen into my hands! I’ve been waiting for this day for too long!” Jessica said excitedly.
“So have you changed your mind now? Is there anything better that you can give me?” Xia Zhe asked.
“It seems that I have something else that you’re interested in. Otherwise, you wouldn’t keep asking me this question. Tell me directly, what exactly do you want?” Jessica asked.
“I’ll make you the new head of Alan’s family. I want to continue working with you. Give me the blueprints for the weapons and I’ll invest in you. In the first two years after you become the new head of the family, I’ll assist you in stabilizing your position,” Xia Zhe said.
Jessica had never thought that she would one day be able to become the head of Alan’s family. It felt like a dream.
“I have also prepared new identities for your family. You can live openly in any part of the world and no longer have to live in the dark,” Xia Zhe said as he looked at Paul and Ella.
“Why are you so nice to me? You can totally get one of your own people to become the head of our family. Wouldn’t that person be more obedient than me?” Jessica said.
“You’re right, but I don’t want to do that. No matter who I put in that position, there is always the possibility of betrayal. If it’s someone else, there will only be more risks and more problems to solve. I’m an investor and I don’t like losses. Besides, I believe in you and I believe that you can bring me more benefits in the future,” Xia Zhe said confidently.
“Alright, I agree with your proposal. I’ll sell you all the weapons in the basement in return for this favor. At the cost price, of course,” Jessica said.
“Thank you,” Xia Zhe said. With Jessica’s help, he would be able to transport these weapons back to his home country earlier.
The rain in Sky City went on for the entire night and only stopped at noon the next day. Alan called Xia Zhe countless times and it was only when he made the 68th call that Xia Zhe finally picked up.
“Asshole! What have you done with my son!” Alan roared.
Xia Zhe massaged his ears and said, “How many days did it take before you realize that your son is missing? Looks like you don’t treat your son that well either.”
“As I expected, you’re the one who kidnapped my son! What exactly do you want! Where is my son!” Alan questioned.
“If you want to see your son, then bring your precious blueprints to do an exchange for him. I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up. By the way, you have to come alone. Otherwise, you won’t be able to see your son. See you then.” Xia Zhe hung up after saying that.
Jessica and Ella were privy to the entire phone conversation. Jessica stood up and said, “Bring me with you.”
“You? It’ll be trouble if I bring you there,” Xia Zhe said with a frown.
“I won’t disappoint you,” Jessica said.
After considering for a moment, Xia Zhe agreed with Jessica’s suggestion. When they stepped into the dark and damp warehouse, Daniel had already been tortured to the point that he no longer had the air of a noble prince. His head hung low as he slumped, still tied to the chair. He looked like a vagrant now.
Jessica walked up to Daniel and lifted his chin with her dagger, saying, “Why are you in such a sorry state?”
“Elder Sister! Elder Sister, save me! It must be Dad who asks you to come!” Daniel said in surprise when he saw who it was.
Before Daniel could say anything else, Jessica stabbed her dagger straight into Daniel’s knee and twisted it non-stop. Daniel let out a shrill wail.
“Ah!!!”
“I want you to pay back all the grievances I’ve suffered over the years! Do you still remember the cat I had when I was young? You dismembered it. Now, I want you to experience whatever it felt back then.”
“Take a look at this. I remember that year when you made a bet with a friend and broke one of Linda’s ribs. I’m going to cut off your flesh and let you have a taste of what pain is!”
