"Johnson, I want to propose a deal to you. Or rather, Maria wants to make a deal with you."


    At that moment, Maria''s moans came through the phone, causing Johnson''s face to darken instantly. He cursed, "Maria, you whore! Sooner orter, I''ll kill you both, you filthy dogs!"


    "Hehehe..." Marshall chuckled slightly over the phone and said, "Johnson, there''s no need to get agitated. Maria was never truly yours. Besides, right now, your priority should be the activation metal. If you want to survive, you should be begging me, not hurling insults."


    "Activation metal? Are you talking about the activation metal for the Satan Robot?"


    "That''s right. The Satan Robot actually has two activation metals, but Doctor Dickens secretly took one out. You know very well that with only one, the Satan Robot''s powersts just half a day. Unless you insert the second activation metal, the Satan Robot will cease to function, and the police surrounding you will shoot you dead. Johnson, your game should end here."


    At this moment, Johnson was stunned. After two seconds of silence, he asked, "What do you want? How do we make this deal?"


    "Two things. First, you must acknowledge that from now on, Maria is my woman. Second, you need to transfer the two hundred million you extorted from Fawkes to my ount immediately."


    "Fine. From now on, Maria is your woman. But if you want two hundred million from me, how do I know you''ll give me the activation metal once I pay you? How do I know you won''t break our agreement?"


    Marshall''s voice turned cold over the phone. "Johnson, I think you understand that you have no other options now. If you die, you won''t have that two hundred million either."


    "No, Marshall. No matter what you say, unless you bring the activation metal to the building opposite me and let me see it, I won''t give you the money."


    Johnson''s tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation. Marshall fell silent for two seconds. He desperately needed the money to escape Moda with Maria and live a prosperous life. The two hundred million would secure their future.


    "Alright, wait for me. I''ll be on the balcony of the building across from you in ten minutes. Make sure you see me clearly."


    After hanging up, Johnson''s chest heaved with intensity. He exhaled deeply. Johnson was a very observant person. He knew that if Marshall had not agreed to negotiate, he would truly be cornered. Fortunately, Marshall had agreed to his terms.


    "Hehehe." Johnson sneered. "Threaten me, would you? If I''m going to die, I''ll make sure you die with me, you filthy cheaters."


    Despite his constant cursing, Johnson''s face remained emotionless. He knew that Maria and Marshall might be nearby. If they saw him acting irrationally, the deal might fall through.


    What Johnson needed now was Marshall''s appearance. Once Marshall showed up, everything would be settled.


    Ten minutes passed quickly. Johnson nced at his watch. Fifteen minutester, Marshall appeared on the balcony of the building across the street, holding up the activation metal and waving it toward Johnson.


    Seeing this, a sly smile crept across Johnson''s lips. Quietly, he slipped into the cockpit of the Satan Robot.
