Chapter 243 - Ricardo's treatment
Lorenzo and Ricardo had arrived before Grant Dickson, just as expected, for his treatment.The expression on Ricardo’s face was mixed. He was never a fan of the herbal mixture, but he had no choice but to do the needful; his hope was that Grant would heal him as promised.“What’s taking you time? Aren’t you done with the mixture?” He asked.The scent of herbs had filled the air, making Ricardo want to throw up. He felt like suffocating, but when he remembered he had come to be cured, he tried to endure.“I am coming, I need a few minutes,” Grant said. “He will be here soon, hold on, Mr. Gallo.” Lorenzo mouthed.At that moment, Grant stepped forward carrying a bowl filled with thin slices of dried ginseng, curled strands of liquorice root, delicate chrysanthemum petals, and a darker herb that gave off a sharp, earthy scent.Placing the bowl down, he ground the mixture carefully with a mortar before blending it into a steaming cup of water. Almost instantly, the air was filled with a s
Chapter 242 - Final verdict
At this time, Asher looked at them. He felt that since the men had planned against him, they should be treated accordingly; they weren’t good but bad people with evil intentions.Sending them away wasn’t a good idea, especially Rodney. Asher then said, “You should hand them over to the police, tell the police they stole from you or something, and let them be sent to prison for their crimes.”Vandy nodded, “Okay, Master Mancini, I will do that. I will break their legs before sending them over to the police station.”Good,” Asher said.Rodney and his accomplice cried desperately, “Please, master Mancini, don’t send us to jail. We are sorry, I promise to do anything.”Asher could only chuckle as he watched them, “You are of no use to me, how do you want me to employ a man without arms to work for me?” His voice dripped with sarcasm. He then turned to Vandy, “Do you need them, are they useful in any way?”Vandy hurriedly replied, “No, Master Mancini. They are useless. With broken fingers
Chapter 241 - Viral video
“Please! Please!”Asher looked at her with an icy gaze that sent shivers down her body. “Make the video, your time is ticking, any moment from now I will order them to throw you out,”Then he turned to Vandy and said. “Get your men ready, if she refuses to make the video, just throw her down a three-storey building.”“Yes, Mr. Mancini!’ Vandy replied.Tonia knelt on the floor, begging. “Please, forgive me. I know I made a mistake, and I can pay you back the money I took from Isabella. If I make the post, it will ruin my life.”“Oh, really!” He said, “You should have thought about that before you chose to give your boyfriend someone else’s money. Where did you now get the money you want to send to her if you claimed you don’t have money?”Tonia trembled, her face was now pale. Where did she get the money? Rodney could only stare at her, although he was in pain as he watched his fingers limp; he couldn’t control it, it was like they never belonged to him.Tonia exhaled, “I sold my pro
Chapter 240 - Video confession
Tonia was frightened, she knew she would be next after them. She burst into tears, she could only cry in pain. After a few Minutes, Vandy had said. “Mr. Mancini, it’s been clear, everything has been transferred to your account.” Asher nodded, he shoved out his phone to confirm the transaction, the money sent to his account was around $630,000. “Fine, I will have to play a game with each of you. Whoever wins gets to live, whoever fails goes to the police.”Rodney and his cohort could only stare at each other puzzled.“What kind of game?” one of them asked.“It’s a simple game, you all stretch your finger on the table and Vandy get it chopped off. Whoever can endure the pain will leave here without going to the police station.”The men shook their heads, it was impossible to have a finger chopped off without anyone feeling the pain.What kind of game is that?“Please, Mr. Mancini, we can do anything but don’t chop our finger off. You can break them, please.”“What’s the difference
Chapter 239 - Never get threatened
Rodney hesitated, as he said. “Some years ago, Tonia and I were lovers. We were supposed to get married but that night her uncle came back home and was trying to take advantage of her. Tonia had killed him, and she was scared of going to jail. I took the blame while she made a promise to wait for me. I did that out of love, but she never cared about me. She got married and never visited me. I was furious.”He continued and said. “Now, I am back and I can’t get a job because I am an ex-convict. I demand a million dollars as compensation. She has given me $450,000. I came to demand my balance.”Vandy frowned when he heard Rodney’s words. “Why did you involve Mr. Mancini in this, you planned on holding him hostage.”Rodney was stunned, he trembled in fright when he heard Vandy’s words. He wished he could tell Vandy the truth, but then he knew it would be a bad idea. Asher was never supposed to come into the plan, but after he saw Asher with Tonia, he followed him home. He thought about
Chapter 238- explain yourself
Asher replied indifferently, “How do you want me to corporate? I will ask you a question, and if you answer properly, I will spare your life and allow you to leave without harm. But if you refuse to answer me correctly, I will have you beg for your life.”Rodney frowned, “You are really courageous, do you have a death wish?”“I have always been courageous! Do you think you can lay a finger on me? Tell me what you want?”Rodney smiled, as he shook his head, “Ten million dollars!”Asher raised his brow and burst into laughter, leaving the men in bewilderment. “I will say you have done a good job by having me tied up, and at the same time, I will advised you to untie me now and get on your knees and apologise.”Rodney’s face twisted with rage, he glared at Asher coldly, then turned to Tonia, who was shocked by Asher’s confidence.Never had she imagined that he would show such confidence.“Did you hear him? Telling me to beg for mercy? He must be out of his mind?” Rodney intoned.“Young
