Chapter 70 - 70: If You re Upset, Then I’m Happy
Chapter 70: Your Misery Delights Me
“Heh heh, Mr. Lewis, you should have heard the information about the person you’ve been looking for by now, right?” The raspy voice came over again.
“What do you want?” Finn Lewis arched an eyebrow.
“Mr. Lewis, to be honest, we just have one simple desire—to get rich. Nothing more, nothing less. Considering that you offered a reward of 2 million to find information about this little girl, I believe you would be willing to spare a portion of money for us, wouldn’t you?” The man said straightforwardly.
“How much do you want?” Finn Lewis asked without any preamble.
“5 million! Not much, right? Just pay the 5 million, Mr. Lewis, and we’ll return the little girl to you instantly. What do you say?”
“Okay.” Finn Lewis immediately agreed without hesitation.
“In that case, we’ll give you one day to prepare the funds. As for the police, I’m sure you aren’t that foolish, Mr. Lewis. Even if you do report us, you won’t be able to find us. Even if the police managed to arrest us, it won’t be considered kidnapping. The girl might have come to us on her own. Additionally, if you don’t want her to lose any part of her body…” The man issued another warning to Finn Lewis.
“Relax, I won’t call the police. But you must ensure her safety. If even a single part is missing from her body, I assure you, your death will not be pretty.” Finn Lewis gave a cold chuckle.
“Rest assured, Mr. Lewis, as mentioned before, we are only after money, the girl is of no use to us,” the man reassured.
“I’ll have the money ready by tomorrow. You’d better keep your word.”
“Don’t worry, we keep our promises. Tomorrow at 11 am then.” The man hung up afterwards. Finn Lewis looked at his phone, thought for a while, and dialed the number again. The phone was turned off.
Finn Lewis sat in his seat, deep in thought for a long time. He decided not to report to the police after all. Even if he did, the police might not believe him. And even if they did, they might not be able to safely bring the little girl back. To Finn Lewis, money would perhaps just become a number in the future. However, he didn’t want the little girl to spend the rest of her life in torment, nor did he want to regret it for a lifetime.
Making up his mind, Finn Lewis arose and headed downstairs. Julia Parker and Fishy Wells were waiting for him. Before they had a chance to ask him anything, he answered, “You two go home and rest now. Also, make an appointment with the bank for tomorrow morning. Withdraw 5 million in cash. ”
“5 million?” Fishy and Julia were taken aback. What did he need so much cash for? However, Finn Lewis did not seem to have the intent of explaining anything further. The two women exchanged a glance, nodding, “Got it.”
After the two of them left, Finn asked, “Can you trace their location with their phone number?”
“Yes, but it would cost points.” Zero replied succinctly.
“How much?” Finn raised an eyebrow.
“Based on time, it’s 100 points per hour.” Zero gave Finn a figure.
Finn chuckled bitterly and shook his head but didn’t ask Zero to find their location. Compared with 5 million, Finn would rather choose to lose the points, because 5 million is just Zero’s pocket money for him for a month, but 100 points, to Finn Lewis, is the equivalent of a potion providing +1 strength or +1 agility.
Moreover, it was clear to Finn that he didn’t have many points, and points could make Zero do a lot of things that ordinary means couldn’t. If used wisely, points were much more valuable than money.
He’d decide based on tomorrow’s situation. If any unexpected events happened
tomorrow, Finn didn’t mind using some points and then try to capture all of them in one fell swoop. Now that he had news about the little girl, he was less worried. Although she was still in their hands, she would be safe for the time being. So, Finn didn’t need to worry.
Now he could only wait for tomorrow. There was no use worrying tonight anyway. Feeling a bit gloomy, he couldn’t sleep. After some thought, Finn decided to read a novel. Upon opening the Genesis Flame Country Literature Site, he quickly found a new book called “The Ultimate Prodigal.” He immediately started reading. After a few chapters, he slapped his thigh excitedly. Damn, this author is pretty good! These scenarios were all things he fantasized about when he was poor!
However, he quickly finished reading it. Since it was a new book, there weren’t many chapters yet. But he was eager to read more. What should he do? He scrolled down to the book review section and saw numerous encouragement for quicker updates! Some people even tipped 1888 gold coins to urge the author to update faster. Finn happened to see the author’s note, mentioning that for every extra Deity Tycoon, an extra chapter would be added to the novel.
Finn rolled his eyes. Damn, such a drama queen! Heh heh, I’ve been feeling miserable, and now the author has given me the opportunity to relieve my stress. So for every additional Deity Tycoon, an extra chapter it is, huh? Finn snickered quietly.
Without hesitation, he opened his account on the site, topped it up with gold coins, and began tipping without further ado.
“Reward! Overwhelmed by the author’s talent, I, Deity Tycoon, tip ‘The Ultimate Prodigal’ 100,000 gold coins. This book is fantastic! Encouragement. The following chapters will be even better!”
“Reward! Overwhelmed by the author’s talent, I, Deity Tycoon, tip ‘The Ultimate Prodigal’ 100,000 gold coins. This book is fantastic! Encouragement. The following chapters will be even better!”
“Reward! Overwhelmed by the author’s talent, I, Deity Tycoon, tip ‘The Ultimate Prodigal’ 100,000 gold coins. This book is fantastic! Encouragement. The following chapters will be even better!”
The entire review section of ‘The Ultimate Prodigal’ was instantly painted red by Deity Tycoon’s Tip Notifications! This book had a lot of readers eagerly waiting for updates, and seeing this spectacle, the reader group was immediately excited.
“Wow! Look at the review section, there’s a tycoon tipping! The author is probably scared shitless now!”
“Haha, finally there’s going to be an update! Author, come out now!”
“Yes, come out now! Damn it! Look at the fan base, it’s already over 2 million! Doesn’t this mean the author has to update 20 chapters? That’s 60,000 words, haha, why am I so happy?
“God! The rich are really different! I bet the author’s crying now! But why am I so happy? Haha!”
“Haha, I’m so pumped too! Look! The fanbase has hit 10 million! 100 chapters!
Let’s see if the author’s going to add more!”
“I’m laughing so hard. This is so fun. The poor author is going to break down. Serves him right for boasting! In this world, we have nothing to fear, except tycoons! 100 chapters update at once. Haha!”
“Looking forward to the author being slapped in the face.. But damn, this is literally being slapped with stacks of bills! We can never understand the world
of the Deity Tycoons!”
