As boss Baobao's threat became more severe, he pushed Douglas to the front of the consulting room door, giving Jim and his group an extreme choice: either solve the problem with a large sum of money, or witness Douglas's tragic fate. boss Baobao's voice was filled with madness and anticipation, as if he had already foreseen their surrender.
boss Baobao's voice echoed in the corridor of the clinic, each word hitting Jim, Sarah, and Emily like hot bullets. boss Baobao tightly gripped the gun, aiming at Douglas's vulnerable head, his eyes full of mockery and disdain, as if he had already foreseen their surrender. "Come on, time is ticking, I don't want to wait too long," boss Baobao said, tapping Douglas's skull with the gun, making a chilling sound.
Jim's eyes flashed with intense fire, his fists clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white from the force. His inner turmoil was like a raging fire, filled with extreme anger, but at the same time, he was rapidly calculating the situation, searching for the best solution. Although Sarah and Emily maintained a calm exterior, their eyes were also filled with tension and worry, and their silent eye contact was filled with question marks and unease.
boss Baobao's laughter echoed in the hallway like a sharp blade, constantly stimulating their nerves. "How about it? Aren't you going to decide soon?" boss Baobao deliberately dragged out his words, enjoying the thrill of controlling the situation. Jim bit his lip tightly, the anger in his heart like a volcano about to erupt, but he also knew that any impulsive action could lead to irreversible consequences.
"Come on, I'll count to ten. One... Two... Three..." boss Baobao counted slowly and deliberately. With each number he uttered, it felt like he was dropping a bomb in Jim and their hearts, making the atmosphere extremely tense.
Jim clenched his fists, his brows furrowed, his face filled with anger and helplessness. They all knew that even if they handed over the money, this bloody extortion game wouldn't end there. But letting Douglas suffer in front of them was also something they couldn't accept.
boss Baobao When it reached "nine," just as everyone thought the final decision was about to come, Jim suddenly shouted loudly, "Stop!" His voice was full of determination, as if it were a sudden clear stream breaking the oppressive silence.
"You can have the money you want, but you must guarantee Douglas's safety and promise not to harass us again in the future." Jim's tone was firm, and his eyes sparkled with an undeniable light.
boss Baobao heard this and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he quickly resumed his arrogant smile, "Haha, it seems you guys are still very loyal. Alright, as long as the money is right, our Baobao Gang always keeps our word." He seemed very satisfied with the large sum of wealth that was about to come his way, while Douglas became a pawn in this transaction, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
In this tense and crisis-filled moment, Jim felt helpless. He knew very well that Douglas's skills were crucial for them, whether it was for their injured teammates on the battlefield or for the case of rescuing Leo from the clutches of death at the door. Douglas's presence was irreplaceable for the Valkyrie team. Jim couldn't help but admit that, apart from Douglas's greed, he was indeed a reliable partner. In a world filled with betrayal and exchange of interests, finding such a partner was truly rare.
boss Baobao saw the situation and his smile became even brighter. He waved to his little brothers, signaling them to go collect the money. These little brothers immediately showed a greedy look in their eyes and flocked to Jim's group, ready to accept the huge sum of money.
Although Jim was angry, he also understood that they had no choice in the current situation. He took a deep breath and took out the money and resources prepared for Leo's treatment from his pocket. This money was originally meant to be used for purchasing new equipment and providing more support for the team, but now they were forced to hand it over to these shameless people.
Jim's eyes flashed with a hint of anger as he took the money bag Sarah handed to him, gripping it tightly as if it were their last shred of dignity. He looked up at boss Baobao with a bitter smile and asked, "We don't have enough cash, can we use a bank transfer?" This question made boss Baobao's men look at each other, seemingly unprepared for this situation.
Upon hearing this, boss Baobao's smile became even brighter. "Of course, as long as there's money, any form of payment is acceptable," he said, his voice revealing undisguised greed, as if this unexpected turn of events didn't inconvenience him in the slightest.
Immediately, one of the henchmen lightly tapped on his wristband, and a virtual projection interface appeared in the air, displaying the information for the transfer. Jim approached to take a look, and his anger flared up once again, but he knew that resisting in the current situation would only make things worse. So, he took a deep breath, pulled out the team's communication device from his pocket, and began to operate the transfer.
Every keystroke sounded like a blow to Jim's heart. This was not just a loss of wealth, but also an exploitation of their freedom and dignity. However, in order to protect Douglas and avoid further conflict, Jim chose to endure. As Jim's fingers swiftly danced across the communication device, inputting the transfer information, the smile on boss Baobao's face seemed particularly smug, as if he could already see the scene of this huge sum of money falling into his pocket. However, in this tense atmosphere, the door of the consulting room suddenly burst open, and a thin but resolute figure flashed at the doorway.
In the moment when boss Baobao didn't have time to react, a fierce punch slammed into his face, pushing him back several steps and almost causing him to fall to the ground. As a result, Douglas also broke free from boss Baobao's control and fell to the ground, trying to get up in a panic.
The sudden figure that appeared was Leo. He was wearing a hospital gown, with medical tubes still attached to his body, and his face showed anger and determination. Breathing heavily, he glared at boss Baobao with fury and said firmly, "If you want money, come to me!"
