Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

On hearing this, James’ tense nerves loosened.

It seemed that Angela had been taken away by a passer-by and that her life was not in danger. The corner of his mouth tugged up a little and pressed down hard.

Minister Durwyn regretted using the walkie-talkie to talk about such an important matter; he had thought the matter was foolproof, but it had gone so wrong.

He glanced quickly at a thoughtful James, his brow furrowed for lack of a better solution, and gritted his teeth, “How soon is that?!”

Without waiting for a reply from across the room, James asked first, “So what’s happening is that Minister Durwyn doesn’t know where Angela is, does he?”

Minister Durwyn clutched the walkie-talkie, his fingertips white with the force of his fingers, “So what if I am? So what if it’s not?”

“If so, there’s no point in carrying out our deal.” James held his eyes, his expression not half changing.

He had just analysed the pros and cons of the matter so clearly that he believed that Minister Durwyn would not dare to touch him.

Minister Durwyn’s face changed, but there was nothing he could do. If he killed James now, Commander Evetts would take him away immediately.

Once you’re in prison, it’s a nightmare to get out again!

But if he let James go, he’d be in a lot of trouble if the books fell into the hands of Commander Evetts or those sent from the centre!

Seeing James about to leave, Minister Durwyn couldn’t care less, “Wait!”

James stopped and turned, looking at him indifferently.

“Your grandmother and your little grandfather are here with me, don’t you want to meet them?” I don’t know how much Ela and Noah are in James’ heart, but either way, they’re related by blood and James shouldn’t be sitting on his hands!

Minister Durwyn clapped his hands and gestured for his men to bring Ela and also Noah over.

The two men were thrown to the ground in five different ways, their faces bruised and battered, looking very sorry for themselves.

“I really didn’t lie to you before, killing Angela had nothing to do with me, it was your grandmother’s and Jessica’s idea. I just wanted to use the Harvey Group to carry over some of the money while you were broken up with Angela and in a lost mood.”

“But I never wanted to get Angela killed because I knew what you were capable of and was worried that you wouldn’t stop and would look into me.”

When bullying didn’t work, Minister Durwyn began to reason, “Mr. James, in all fairness, we don’t have any grudges against each other. You can give me the books and you can take your grandmother and Mr. Noah with you, we don’t owe each other anything.”

On the floor, Ela looked at James with anticipation.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She had a gag in her mouth and could only make whimpering noises and looked emotionally distraught.

But James just stared at them indifferently and did not speak.

“Commander Evetts asked you why you gave me the books, and you could have said that I threatened you without giving you any disadvantage.” Seeing that he did not look very moved, Minister Durwyn was a little distraught.

James withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, “They’re in your hands, do as you please.”

With that, he turned and walked away.

“Has Mr. James thought about it? He’s your own grandmother by blood!” Minister Durwyn shouted with a frown.

But there was no response at all, and James didn’t even stop for a moment.

Bang!

The muffled sound of the silencer treatment rang out.

James stopped but didn’t turn around.

Seeing this, Minister Durwyn let out a slight sigh of relief, it seemed that these two still held some weight for James, “That shot just hit Mr. Noah just in the leg, if you don’t agree I’ll have to kill him first and then your grandmother.”

These two know too much and are nothing but a liability to him.

The only thing it does is hold James hostage.

However, just when he thought James would relent, he saw the latter walk towards the door without looking back.

“Shit!” Minister Durwyn cursed lowly, aiming his gun at Ela’s heart and pulling the trigger. But the moment the bullet was about to come out, he deflected it, and it hit her left arm.

followed by a shot that went into Noah’s brow.

Noah’s mouth was slightly open and his pupils lapsed a little, killing him instantly.

Nothing good could come of letting James go or not. With a grim look on his face, Minister Durwyn raised his pistol and pointed it at James, who was about to touch the door handle.

Kill James and he leaves the country immediately!

He tightened his face and pressed the trigger a little.

But at the very same time –

“The car that took Angela is back! They took a bit of a detour to get away from the police and ran down a different road! Minister, will someone bring Angela up now?”

The man’s excited voice rang out over the intercom.

Noah’s pupils flinched and he scrambled to move his gun, the bullet missing and leaving a hole in the door.

As long as Angela is in his hands, he has better options!

Without him having to say anything, James turned around, glanced at him and retraced his steps.

“Get the men up here now.” Minister Durwyn tossed his gun onto the table and his voice lightened considerably.

He sat down on the sofa, took a sip of water and laughed, “It’s really a case of the mountain is heavy, and the village is dark!” Mr. James said?

James stood opposite him, looking down at him without uttering a word.

Seeing this, Minister Durwyn was in a better mood and deliberately said, “Look at me, forgetting that this is a way of life for me and a way of death for Mr. James!”

James still ignored him, just sitting on the sofa, tapping his fingers mindlessly on his lap.

Whenever he is annoyed, he always has this little act.

“Actually, it wouldn’t be appropriate to say it’s a dead end.” Minister Durwyn was in such a good mood that even his eyebrows were tinged with a smile, “You give me the books, you lose nothing, but you give them to Commander Evetts and my life is over.”

James pulled the corner of his mouth coldly, not intending to talk to him much, “Then do as we said before.”

As long as he could take Angela safely, he didn’t care about anything else.

“I think we have to change it.” Minister Durwyn said.

James gave a faintly invisible frown.

“You don’t get the wrong idea.” Minister Durwyn said, “You can take Miss. Angela and your grandmother with you as long as you give me the books.”

He had spared Ela’s life this time, and she would surely remember his kindness.

James’ only weakness is Angela, but Ela has so many that he can use her to spy on James and the Harvey Group once he has control of her.

“No, she’s at your disposal.” James didn’t even look at Ela.

The smile on Minister Durwyn’s face froze for a moment and she quickly said with good grace, “She used you to extort a large sum of money from the Harvey family when you were a teenager. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to forgive this grandmother. Understand, I understand.”

Noah’s body was lying on the ground, and Ela was whimpering and breaking down next to him, but the two of them were as if they hadn’t heard it all along.

Minister Durwyn beckoned two of his men to bring down Ela, who was acting like a madman, and the warm body of Noah.

The blood on the floor was quickly cleaned up as if nothing had ever happened here.
