Chapter Capítulo 129
Read The Ex-Husband's Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 129 - The consequences would be disastrous if Leon suffered several devastating blows! Besides, 700,000 dollars was nothing to her, and she felt that it was worth the trade. to exchange that sum for her and Leon's safety.
"Are you serious?" Leopard was so shocked that his jaw nearly dropped to the ground. He never dreamed that Iris would agree to his terms!
Seven hundred thousand was no small sum, and he was swayed by it as it was practically his entire year's income!
If Iris was willing to compensate 700,000 dollars for their medical expenses, whatever bad blood between the two sides would be written off! It was a solution that both sides could benefit from.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, Leopard! She came here with that kid in a shabby motorcycle this morning. I don't think they can even fork out seven hundred bucks, let alone seven hundred thousand!" the man with the earring sneered.
"F*CK! Are you trying to pull my leg?" Leopard was furious.
"I'm not. I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, I can write you a check right now." Iris remained calm and took out the checkbook from her bag.
"Checks are useless! How'd I know if you've written a bad check? I only accept cash!" Leopard said coldly.
Checks and bank transfers left an official money trail, and if Iris called the police after the incident, he was likely to be charged with extortion.
Cash was therefore the safest way of receiving money!
"I don't have that much cash on me! But there are other ways if you insist on having cash. Let my friend go so he can get the money. I'll stay here as your hostage. Once he has the cash, he'll come and exchange it for me," Iris said curtly.
"Hmm..." Leopard pondered for a while and felt that it was a feasible solution.
Iris was so beautiful that he would be lying if he said he was not swayed by her looks. However, there were rules in their world; and his main goal was to get justice from Leon without involving Iris in any way whatsoever. That being said, Iris's willingness to stay as a hostage was good news: he promised not to touch even a strand of Iris's hair if Leon could deliver the money, but failing that, he would be happy to deal with
Iris however he wanted.
He stood to lose nothing with either outcome!
"Okay, I agree, but I'll be upfront with you two, I won't hold myself back if you so much as dare to call the police or play tricks on me!" Leopard warned coldly.
"No!" Leon refused. "No matter what happens, I'll never let you become a hostage, Iris!"
Although his practitioner level has reached the mid-stage of energy refinement, there were far too many enemies in front of him who were capable and powerful. The leader Leopard, in particular, was a formidable fighter whose strength far surpassed anyone Leon had ever met before. Leon was sure of that fact after sensing the gleam in Leopard's eyes!
With Leopard and the horde of highly-skilled thugs, Leon felt somewhat at a loss because it was one against many and his strength- might not be enough.
Despite his lack of confidence, however, he would never leave Iris alone with such dangerous people!
"Can you use your brain for once, Leon?" Iris glared at Leon in dismay and whispered, "this is just a stop-gap measure! You might not know this yet, but the Youngs have arranged for several strong fighters to protect my safety in secret. If my guess is correct, those people are probably somewhere nearby!"
