Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 417 " We've called someone over , Mr. Grimwald . They are on their way . Our job is to buy time , " Wayne whispered . The scarred man suddenly kicked him in the abdomen and sent him crashing to the ground . " Did I fucking tell you people to whisper ? This is not a sleepover . Show some respect ! " He snickered as he looked at my face . " So you're Sebastian Grimwald ? Looks like a wuss to me . " He waved , and his henchmen moved in . I was not afraid . In fact , I grew even more furious . How dare he kick Wayne while I stood there ? For now , though , I knew better than to erupt .

They had the numbers , so I forced a calmer , friendlier tone . " Gentlemen , I don't want any beef with you . I have no reason to start one . After all , we might cross paths again someday . " Let's start over , shall we ? How much did that other guy give you ? I will pay double the price . " These thugs had no loyalty to speak of . They chased easy money . I had poured most of the company's funds into our project , but what remained still exceeded Applebaum's pitiful wealth . " Whoa , whoa . You think it's that easy to buy someone into starting a mutiny ? Please .

You have no value as a gangster if you don't care about loyalty ! " Holy moly , plot twist . He rejected me and stared as if he could not believe what I said . My heart sank , but I stayed composed . " That's all right . Maybe it's more than money . Tell me what he wants , and we'll see if we can cut a better deal . " The scarred man scoffed . " You fucking think you're the richest man in the country , broski ? You sweet , summer child . The man you crossed can be bought with money . The only thing he wants is for you to go down . " Wait ... Did that mean this was not Joe's doing ?

No thug would stubbornly defend a man of mediocre wealth and status for that reason alone . I had some candidates , but now was not the time to dwell . I needed a way out , fast . " Are you telling me negotiation is impossible ? " I asked . He smirked , spread his legs , and pointed at his crotch . " Oh , there is something you can do . I do not lack money , but I lack entertainment . Nothing amuses me more than humiliating uppity assholes like you . " Get on all fours and crawl under me like a dog . Bark like one and call me your daddy , and I'll let your truck go. Easy . " I scowled .

The driver suddenly spoke up . " He's lying . When they blocked me the first time , they said they would let me go after I paid . I paid , and they beat me up instead . Then they still refused to let me go . " The scarred man glowered and strode toward him . " Who asked you to yap , you little bitch ? " He raised his steel bat and aimed it at the driver's head . " Looks like my lesson was too easy for you . I should break your skull and shove it into your mushy little brain . " ADMINJ
