Chapter 460: Let the People Go Now
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
His ego wouldnât allow him to be threatened by a woman. Not only that, he wanted her to pay!
Barron was ready to call his men to search for Xinghe when his phone was flooded with messages. The incessant message alert gave him a bad feelingâŠ
He opened the messages and widened his eyes in shock when he saw the contents. The more he saw, the worse his face became. The contents detailed all his drug trafficking activities. There werenât only time stamps but also picturesâŠ
Impossible! Barron couldnât believe it. How can that woman get all of this incriminating in for ma tion ?
The information was limited to only his and his sellers or buyers. They wouldnât leak it out since it would implicate them, so where did she get all of this?
Barronâs face darkened. He felt the threat this time. He immediately called back, the call was answered after one ring.
âWhat is it that you want?â Barron hissed through the phone. His tone belied his nervousness, he needed Xinghe to not go public with the evidence.
Xinghe replied slowly, âLet the people go or weâll die together. Donât worry, if youâre willing to do that, I promise I will delete this evidence.â
âWhy should I believe you?â Barron asked anxiously. After all, he would lose all his leverage if he let those people go.
âThe evidence will only get you fired but youâll still hang on to some power, or at least enough power to crush a small party like us so thereâs no reason for me to make you a nemesis.â
âThatâs basically an empty promise.â
âYou have no choice but to accept. After all, I have other ways to save those people but youâll lose everything if youâre fired.â
Barronâs face showed an ugly expression. Xinghe was right, she had him backed into a corner. If he lost his position, his old enemies would surface and take advantage of his weakness. Furthermore, Philip was there. If he got wind of this information, he would have no chance of ever coming back because that was the platform Philip ran on, the anti-drugs trafficking platformâŠ
Therefore, he had no choice but to cooperate with Xinghe.
âFine, I will let them go. But youâd better stick to your promise or I will haunt all of you even if I die!â Barron warned seriously.
Xinghe was unfazed. âDonât worry, Iâm a woman of my words. Go release them now, including Charlie. Also, if I see any serious injuries on my friends, this thingâs going public!â
âI know!â Barron shut his phone angrily. He instantly called his men to stop with the torture.
He personally waited for Charlie to come out. Thankfully, Charlie came out of the room soon, following him behind him was Philipâs group.
âGeneral, do you have any orders?â Barron asked eagerly.
Philip responded lightly, âNothing for now but take good care of this man, I might have use for him in the future.â
He meant Charlie.
Barron nodded in a hurry. âOf course, General. I know what to do!â
âGood, I still have something to attend to so I will take my leave now. Keep the fact of my visit here to yourself.â
âYes, sir!â Baron promised loudly. Philip nodded and led his men away..
