?Chapter 256:
In the world of gangsters, one’s virtue came second to money.
“No. No. No. It’s not about the money right now. Because of you, Breaker’s elite men… So, you must pay with your life,” Riss said, fixing Norah with a cold stare.
Norah, however, remained calm.
“I will give you triple the money,” she said firmly.
Oscar retracted his hand that had been gripping Norah’s chin. “Do you know how much money Jack paid us? You’re just talking big. But when the timees, and you can’t pay, you’re still going to die.”
Norah was certainly aware of this, but she still spoke in a firm voice. “I will give you triple the money that Jack gave you.”
Riss’s expression altered slightly. Tripling Jack’s payment was enough for them to recruit another batch of people.
“Then wait until you can pay us the thirty million dors. As soon as the transaction ispleted, we’ll let you go,” Oscar sighed. “Riss, I don’t really care if we get the thirty million dors or not. I really like her.”
Oscar liked Norah’s spirit. He wanted to conquer her thoroughly in bed and make her his woman alone.
Riss shot him a look. “Oscar, there are plenty of other women out there.”

He then moved behind Norah and started to untie the rope on her wrists. To his surprise, the thick rope fell apart with the slightest touch. Could it be that the rope hadn’t been tied tightly? He frowned but proceeded to untie the rope that bound her.
“Miss, I will ask you once again, in all seriousness, where exactly did you get the information you know?” he asked, his voice bing more intense.
There was only one person in Riss’s life who knew his lifestyle and food preferences.
Norah rubbed her wrists, which had turned red from the ropes.
Riss seemed quite concerned about how she came to know these details, but in reality, it was all told to her by Alice.
“Only by chance,” she responded. “I just heard it from someone else.”
“From a woman?” Riss immediately asked, his voice taking on an excited tone. “Was it from a woman with long brown hair and blue eyes?”
Alice’s eyes were indeed blue, but her hair was a shade of gold.
Norah shook her head. “No.”
She had known her a long time ago.
“I see,” Riss murmured weakly.
Even now, he couldn’t believe it.
Oscar gave Riss a sympathetic look.
Since hisst rtionship, Riss had lost interest in women. Instead, during the quiet nights, he always missed the woman who had sunk to the bottom of the river.
The woman was unlucky and never got to experience Riss’s kindness.
Oscar brought Norah’s phone in from outside and handed it to her.
“Contact someone immediately. Thirty million dors in exchange for your safety.”
For Norah, she thought it could be solved with money, but the problem was moreplex than that.
She looked solemnly at Riss and Oscar, realizing that she was outmatched in such a situation. She could not possibly defend herself against them.
She started dialing Sean’s number on her cell phone.
“Sean,” she said as soon as the call connected.
What should she say? Should she just ask him for the money?
She had money in her ount. She hadn’t used the consultation fees that the Hayes and Scott families had paid her yet. However, she couldn’t possiblye up with such arge amount of money in such a short time.
“How are you, Norah? Are you hurt? Are you safe now?” Sean was currently on his way to the Breaker’s camp, worried out of his mind.
When he suddenly received a phone call from Norah, he answered it without a second thought.
His hands trembled with fear. “Norah, please say something,” he begged.
Norah pursed her lips and said, “Breaker’s people said that as long as they receive thirty million dors, they’ll let me go.”
It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about escaping, but since she didn’t know the situation outside and had only a limited amount of weapons, any rash action would only result in injury.
