The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 920 Useless

Kendall was terrified beyond belief after witnessing Hillary's fate just moments ago!

He never expected Kingsley to be so merciless!

"I-I want to live," Kendall stuttered.

"Mr. Nicholson, I am the junior chairman of Lawson Group. If you let me go, I can terminate the partnership with Jarett and invest all the funds under your control!"

He believed that no matter how ruthless Kingsley was, he was merely an underworld figure at best.

The other party would surely not reject the financial support from Lawson Group!

After all, money was of utmost importance to an underworld force!

They could only support their comrades as long as they had the money to spare. Besides, they could easily expand their influence, acquire weapons, and encroach on others' territory with those funds!

However, to Kendall's surprise, Kingsley merely sneered coldly. "Unfortunately for you, your money means nothing to me."

"Then... w-what do you want?"

The instant Kendall realized that offering money had proven futile, he started trembling in fear. Soon, he completely lost control of his bowels as he wet his pants in terror!

He stammered, "M-Mr. Nicholson, I will promise you anything! Just name the price. Please! I'm begging you! D-Don't kill me!"

Kingsley wore a pensive expression as he thought it over. "Anything? I suppose there is something I want from you. Call your father, Jonah Lawson."

"W-What?"

Kendall couldn't believe his ears!

Why would Boss Nicholson ask him to call his father at such a crucial juncture?

Could it be... Was he planning a ransom?!

Yes!

That had to be it!

He quickly speculated that Kingsley didn't care about the investment from Lawson Group!

Instead, the man intended to extort a large sum of money from his father all at once!

An investment was limited to hundreds of thousands. Meanwhile, a ransom could be as much as he demanded!

"Alright. Fine. I'll call my dad right away!" Kendall clenched his teeth and pointed to the mobile phone on the nearby table.

Then, he said, "That's my phone. My father's on speed dial number one!" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Kingsley signaled to Rayden, and Rayden immediately understood what he meant. So, he picked up the phone and pressed the speed dial button number one without further ado.

Finally, he activated the speaker mode and placed the phone on the table near Kendall.

Kingsley said coldly, "You'd better behave and not mention Leonardo's. The moment you utter even a syllable of the name, I will end your life right here!"

"Y-Yes, I won't say it! I absolutely won't say it!" Kendall nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice. "I want to live! I don't want to die!"

He understood very well that with the foundation of Lawson Group, they could always earn more money even if they lost it.

On the other hand, the moment his life was forfeit, everything would be for naught!

Beep. Beep. Beep.

After a moment, Jonah's dull voice came through the phone as he said, "Hello?"

"Dad! Dad! It's me!" Kendall's voice was hoarse from all the excitement earlier. "Dad, I'm in someone else's hands! You have to save me!"

Jonah's previously dispassionate voice instantly changed to one of worry upon hearing Kendall's panicked cries.

"What happened? Who has you hostage?!"

Kendall shot a discreet glance at Kingsley as he cried out, "I-I offended a woman who has someone backing her in the underworld. I'm currently in his clutches! Dad, please prepare the money quickly! I don't want to die!"

"Underworld power?!" Jonah exclaimed anxiously, "Someone in Solaris Province's underworld actually has the courage to go after you?! Haven't you contacted Mickey?!"

As soon as Mickey was mentioned, Kendall almost transformed into a banshee from how loud he had been wailing!

Misfortune befell him because of Mickey!

"Dad, Mickey is useless! The Cole Gang and Ivory Fang Sect are useless, too! They're nothing but a bunch of worthless trash!"

Jonah completely lost his composure upon hearing such a shocking piece of information!

There was a loud commotion from the phone. One could presume from such a noise that Jonah had suddenly jerked to his feet and knocked over his chair in his haste!

"The Ivory Fang Sect has failed as well?!" Jonah could swear that his voice had reached a decibel he had never thought he could achieve in his life. "Who exactly is the other party?!"

"H-He is…" Kendall trailed off, unable to fight his way out without throwing Kingsley under the bus.
