Shadow Empire

Chapter 302: Candy Crush [Title Bonus: Galadilla +3]
The adult world is very complicated, because the smile you see on other people's faces does not necessarily mean they are really happy.

Hypocrisy seems to have become the most unwelcome gift at everyone's coming-of-age ceremony, but one that everyone has to accept.

Lance was laughing, and President Payman was also laughing. Both of them were laughing at each other, but very subtly, not showing it so blatantly.

The two of them walked and talked quickly until they came to the parking lot, where a luxury car that was longer than an ordinary car was parked.

There was another car in front with three people inside, who should be bodyguards or something like that.

Ordinary cars only have two rows, front and back, but this car has three rows, front, middle and back. The second and third rows are facing each other, and there is a small movable table in the middle.

The benefits of money are fully demonstrated at this moment, the ultimate enjoyment, the ultimate happiness!

Lance has seen it and the selling price is 37,500 yuan, which may be the savings of many people even if they don't eat or drink for a lifetime.

Actually, this society is not that cruel. At least they can afford to go without food and drink for their entire lives.

The secretary asked Madore to put the money in the trunk. Originally, they didn't want to ride with Madore, but Lance said that this was his personal bodyguard.

Payman, who had already promised Lance to give him a ride, waved his hand and let Madore get in the car, but in the passenger seat.

Lance sat in the back with him and his secretary.

"Very comfortable seats." Lance patted the sofa. President Peyman also saw Lance's car worth 20,000 yuan. He once again confirmed that Lance was a rich man.

He smiled and seemed to be modest, but in fact he waved his hands to show off, "It's just to make work easier. I don't really like extravagant things."

This is somewhat inhumane, but Lance doesn't care. He is not here to act like a human being today.

He smiled and nodded, then asked Madore to tell the driver how to get there.

The car started quickly and the two cars drove onto the road one after the other.

President Peiman is very talkative. Whether it is the little secrets of the Presidential Palace, the secrets of the Carl Royal Family, or the interesting stories of the nobles, he always talks about them.

The two had a very pleasant conversation along the way, and when the car was about to enter the main road, they encountered a convoy of large trucks.

At this moment, a truck suddenly changed lanes and almost hit President Payman's luxury car.

Although the driver's cursing was not loud, Mador, who was sitting in the passenger seat, heard it all.

The car in front may have noticed something unusual, but the driver of the bodyguard car did not find anything unusual through the rearview mirror, and he could still see President Payman's car.

There was no place to park on the roadside here, so they planned to park on the roadside ahead and get back on the road.

At this time, the driver of the car behind honked twice to express his strong dissatisfaction. Not only did the truck in front not give up the lane, but its fender suddenly fell off...

This description is actually not quite accurate. One end of the pallet should have fallen directly onto the ground, creating a ramp between the front of the truck and the ground.

President Peyman's driver watched all this happening in amazement, cursing the truck in front of him. If it accidentally hit his car, wouldn't he be deducted from his salary?

Just as the driver was about to stop, Mador pulled out a gun from his arms and put it to the driver's head, "Drive on."

The driver didn't react at first, not to mention him, even the two people behind him didn't react either.

When President Payman and his secretary reacted, Lance also pulled out his gun and looked at them with a smile, "Mr. Payman, I'm a good person, but you'd better not challenge me to become a bad person!"

How could President Peyman not know at this point that this was a fucking trap!
He tried to force a smile, but couldn't. "Mr. White, I think there may be some misunderstanding between us."

Lance didn't interrupt him, which gave him some hope. At this moment, the car accelerated briefly and rushed directly onto the truck.

The truck's hood was blocked by layers of rainproof cloth. Although there was light inside, it was not strong, just like his mood at the moment, which was gloomy.

There were many other people in the car, and they put away the pallet and the truck started to speed up.

It took only one or two minutes in total, and President Payman's car disappeared!
At this time, they had already gotten out of this difficult road, and the bodyguard car had stopped on the side of the road. They thought they would see President Payman's car immediately.

But when the two trucks sped away, they saw nothing!

Three people are looking at each other, what the hell is going on?
Such a big car was still in their sight a minute ago, but disappeared a minute later?

Everyone was driving forward along the way, whether it was them or the truck following behind them, but where was President Payman's car?
Where have you been?
They turned around and tried to look for it while sweating coldly, but they couldn't find anything. This made them realize that they were in big trouble!
They immediately reported the matter to the company - they were not bodyguards of Balz Investment Bank, they were staff of a security company hired by President Peyman.

When the company learned that they had lost President Payman, their first reaction was not to immediately tell Baltz Investment Bank or call the police.

Instead, they sent people to try to find the missing President Payman's car on this road section. After all, getting rid of such a big shot would be a fatal blow to the company!

Meanwhile, the situation in the truck had stabilized, and with so many people in the truck, President Payman and his secretary had resigned themselves to their fate.

The interesting thing is that the driver kept his eyes closed after getting on the bus, and even covered his head with clothes. He kept saying things like "I didn't see you, don't kill me", which made people laugh and cry.

In the back, Lance had already put away his gun, and President Peyman was still trying to remain calm, "Can I know why you brought us here?"

Lance nodded, "The money you defrauded from those investors."

The truck was heading towards the suburbs. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. President Payman's car was too conspicuous, so it needed to be hidden for a while.

The bumps on the road also told them that they were getting farther away from the city, which made the two of them feel nervous.

President Peiman did not admit Lance's statement. "We have never cheated anyone. If you don't believe us, you can ask those investors whether they can get a rebate from us every month."

"We are just like what we said in the contract we signed. We will never default on rebates. No one can pay rebates more punctually than us!"

"Mr. White, I swear to God, we are not liars!"

"You must have misunderstood us!" He said this with some agitation and wanted to stand up, but soon the black muzzle of the gun made him sit back down with a wry smile on his face.

Lance shook his head and said, "You use the investors' principal to pay their rebates. If I'm not mistaken, the last minute on the 25th is when you can run away."

President Payman looked at Lance in disbelief, and his secretary also had an unhappy look on his face.

Both of them seemed to want to say something, but they didn't know what or how to say it.

Lance swayed on his tiptoes. "You have hurt the feelings of the people in Jingang and cheated them of their money. My request is simple. Give me the money, and then I will give you a way to live."

"If you think I'm lying, or think... I can't do it, we can give it a try."

"Maybe I am professional in defrauding you, but I am professional in prying open people's mouths and dealing with corpses!"

“You may have heard of the legend of Angel Lake, and I don’t want you to become part of the legend!”

The speed of the truck slowed down significantly, and finally slowly stopped. "We are home, Mr. Peyman, and this gentleman."

Peiman slowly got out of the car. He looked at Lance with a miserable expression. "If I don't show up tonight, they might suspect something has happened to us and might leave early..."

"I mean...can I talk to them on the phone?"

He was still trying to struggle, but Lance shot him directly in the calf.

President Peyman let out a scream that was unbelievable to both himself and his secretary. He fell to the ground, holding his legs and screaming.

This is the suburbs, and his shouting cannot be heard far away. Even if he is lucky enough to find someone nearby, that person will just run away instead of helping him call the police or something.

"Want another shot?" Lance asked, "If not, you better shut up!"

The next second, President Payman closed his mouth, but he was covered in sweat because of the pain.

"Can you help me stop the bleeding first?"

The bullet actually penetrated his calf, but considering his willingness to cooperate, Lance had someone help him treat the wound.

Then, with the help of his secretary, he skipped to a house in the suburbs that looked like a valley.

"Mr. Peyman, and Mr. Secretary, let me reiterate my request."

"I only want money, not your lives. And you don't have to think I'm being too much. We are all taking money that doesn't belong to us. It's just possible..."

He scratched his head. “My method doesn’t require much technical skills, but I like its simplicity.”

"Mr. Payman, I don't like to repeat the same questions all the time. Are you ready?"

President Peiman pleaded with a pale face, "This money is not decided by me alone, it is decided by our entire team. I alone cannot use that money at all!"

Lance looked at the secretary next to him, "What about you?"

"Is there anything you want to say?"

The secretary was silent for a while, as if he was thinking. After about 20 to 30 seconds, he asked, "How much do you want?"

President Payman turned his head and looked at him, as if asking, "Why don't you persist?"

But Lance smiled and said, "All of them!"
