Hugh gritted his teeth and endured the agonizing pain as he finally transferred the money to Queenie’s account.
“I received it!” Queenie’s voice trembled as she looked at the number displayed on her phone. She had never seen such a huge sum of money in her life!
“Haha, wonderful! Let’s go!” Severin laughed and left with Queenie.
“Hugh…Hugh…you need to let ‘them’ know. That f*cker….he crossed the line.” One of the guys crawled over to Hugh.
Hugh glared angrily at the other party and yelled, “You dumbf*ck! Do you know what’s the most. important thing we need to do right now?”
“What?” That subordinate had been beaten up so badly that all he thought about was revenge.
Hugh gritted his teeth and winced in pain. “Call an ambulance and have me sent me to the hospital, you f*ckwad. I don’t even know whether or not my wiener is still working!”
“Oh, yes, that’s right! We need to go to the hospital!” the guy came to his senses and agreed.
At that moment, Severin and Queenie had walked out of the villa and toward the Audi A8 that was parked on the street. When they got into the vehicle, Queenie was still in a daze and felt unable to calm herself down.
After a few seconds, she tugged on Severin’s arm and said, “We need to run. It has to be as far away from here as possible! Hugh won’t let us go that easily now that you’ve extorted forty hundred and fifty thousand from him! Bring your family, and I’ll bring mine too. Both our families. will run away together
and leave this place! We don’t need to worry about money now that we have forty hundred and fifty thousand!”
Once she made that remark, she seemed to think of something and said, “You…you shouldn’t have asked for the money. We should’ve just left when they let us leave! We stand to lose so much more even if we run away right now. Your villa is worth millions, and it’s not like you can bring it with you! There won’t be enough time to sell it either!”
Severin chuckled heartlessly when he saw Queenie being so nervous. “Don’t you think you’re being too much of a scaredy cat? I remember you fighting those bullies who picked on me when I was still a kid. We grew up together, you know. Why are you getting less and less courageous the older you get?”
Queenie rolled her eyes at Severin. “I’m not a scaredy cat. Hugh just has a strong backer, and I don’t think we’ll have the chance to escape if we don’t escape now.”
“Does it matter if he’s got a backer? Just relax, okay? I wasn’t scared of him when I beat him up earlier, and I’ll do the same if he comes to cause trouble again!” Severin smiled slightly and seemed nonchalant about it.
Queenie was speechless for a moment. “You say that like you’re invincible. Who do you think you are? Are you one of the four legendary war gods?”
Severin smiled and said, “Hehe, nah, the war gods aren’t that big of a deal. They’re all my apprentices!”
“Pfft!” Queenie nearly vomited blood when she heard that. “You’ve honed your bragging skills in the few years that we haven’t seen each other. Are you sure we don’t need to run away?”
“Of course not. Don’t worry so much!” Severin smiled and said, “By the way, don’t say that I extorted the other party for forty hundred and fifty thousand. It makes me sound horrible. I’m not that sort of
person, and it’s not like I wanted that puny sum” Severin paused briefly before continuing to explain, “I came to pay back the nine thousand you owed, and that sum has already been paid, which was why I didn’t ask for the same sum when I left. As for the four-hundred-and- fifty-thousand dollars, it’s their compensation to you for causing you mental distress. You are obliged to take it because it’s compensation. Understand?”
“Compensation?” Queenie smiled wryly. “Why do I feel that this money is more like a hot potato. than money?”
