Chapter 104 He Was The Richest Man, He Couldnât Possibly Not Be Able To Come Up With Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars.
âThat wonât do.â Rene immediately continued, âWe still have to keep him to demand ransom.â
After finishing speaking, Eric hit him on the head again, saying, âHow can you not keep anything
secret?â
Peyton never expected someone to be so bold as to dare to threaten Nolan for ransom.
It is estimated that before they could deliver the letter, Nolanâs men had already found and captured all
of them.
âHow much do you plan to have?â Peyton further inquired.
Eric said, âWith all his wealth, he must give us at least a 150 thousand dollars.â
Peyton looked at him in disbelief, âOne million?â
Just for one million, did they take such a risk? Nolan probably thought they were mocking him.
Eric suddenly felt a bit insecure when she looked at him like that. âWasnât he supposed to be very
wealthy? Canât he even come up with two hundred thousand dollars? Or⦠one hundred thousand
dollars will do.â
Peyton rubbed his forehead, wondering what had caused him to feel sympathy for the robber for the
first time.
If they had only asked for one hundred thousand dollars, Nolan would probably have considered
leaving them with their lives. However, upon seeing the ransom demand of one hundred thousand
dollars, he decided to throw them to the sharks.

Seeing Peyton not speaking, Rene weakly spoke up, âSo, you donât have one hundred thousand
dollars, right? But you must have thirty thousand dollars, right?â
Peyton sighed helplessly as he heard their demands decreasing again and again.
âOh my god, bro, I heard before that these wealthy people all appear to be rich on the surface, but
actually owe a lot of money to the bank. Could it be possible that Nolan is a broke guy? Then if we
kidnap his child, wouldnât we be at a loss?â
Peyton couldnât cry anymore and sincerely advised, âWell⦠maybe you should try increasing the
ransom a bit, otherwise Iâm afraid Nolan might think youâre intentionally insulting him.â
Eric showed three fingers and said, âThen letâs make it 300 thousand dollars, isnât that a bit greedy?â
Peyton clutched his chest, dear God, where on earth did these kidnappers come from?
âPlus!â
âEight hundred thousand dollars.â
âBravely add above zero.â
â8 million dollars? Oh my goodness,â Eric could barely stand as he uttered these words.
âEighty million dollars.â
As Peyton uttered these two words, Rene plopped down on the ground, âDude, 80 million dollars, how
much is that? Is it more than all the grass in the mountains combined?â

âSister, were you playing with us?â
Peyton was somewhat resentful and said, âDo you know how much money they spent on the fireworks
last night?â
Eric thought carefully and said, âI watched those beautiful fireworks for a long time. Itâs a pity that I
couldnât take them home. Otherwise, I could have shown them to Mrs. Manley and the others. Phillip
bought me two firecrackers for one dollar before. A fireworks display would cost at least 200 dollars.â
âAdd another zero.â
â2 million dollars?â Eric also sat down next to Rene, his mouth wide open, and he didnât close it for a
long time.
Peyton also tested their limits, it was obvious that these two robbers were inexperienced and even a bit
naive.
âI was curious, how did people like you become robbers in the first place?â
Eric exclaimed, âA while ago, when Phillip went ashore to buy supplies, he accidentally overheard that
Ms. Chase had spent a lot of money on her sonâs first birthday party. We thought it would be a good
opportunity to rob them. Coincidentally, they were recruiting security guards for their cruise ship, so
Phillip applied for the job.â
Peyton was incredulous; Lucian Bryant would never casually hire someone unfamiliar to work as a
security personnel.
Peyton was shocked, âDid it go so smoothly and succeed?â
