My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1703

"Young Master Brown, I invited the two of you over because I need a favor from you. By the way, I hope you guys can forgive my subordinates for being rude." The person who spoke was Sheldon, who seemed to be relatively amicable. He had a smile on his face, a typical smile that concealed bloodlust behind it.

There were two chairs at the side. Levi pulled Monique over to sit on one unabashedly. "Mr. Gilbert, since you've gone to these lengths to invite me here, it must not be a small favor, I assume?" Levi asked.

"This matter is of great importance to us, but to you, it's as small as it can be," Sheldon answered as he waved his hand, directing someone to bring him two cups of tea. "Young Master Brown, please have some tea."

"Thank you," Levi responded. Whether the tea was drugged or not, Levi would definitely not drink it. He then asked in response, "Mr. Gilbert, please tell me what favor you need from me."

"It's a very easy thing, actually." Sheldon smiled. "We just need you to call your father, Colonel Brown, to ask him to provide us with some weapons."

"Well, it indeed sounds quite easy. It seems that it could be solved with just a word from Colonel Brown," Levi responded. It turned out that the reason this crafty old man did not lay a finger on them was because of this.

Weaponry was the most important thing in national defense for any country. Thus, it could not be handed out to others randomly. To think that this piece of sc*m had brazenly said that it was a 'very easy thing'.

Even if Levi was willing to call Neil, Neil wouldn't betray the country for his sake. Sheldon had truly underestimated Neil.

"Well then, Young Master Brown, please call Colonel Brown now." As soon as Sheldon finished speaking, someone handed over a mobile phone. "Young Master Brown, here you go."

"I can make this phone call, but on one condition," Levi said. Since the other party smiled and pretended to be courteous to them, he would play along with them as well. "Send my partner back first. I will make this call after she gets home safely," he requested. "This little girl must be your lover, right? Your lover is our esteemed guest too. As long as we get what we want, I promise we'll send her out of Xanduvia City safely." Sheldon refused Levi's request. From the moment he saw Levi holding Monique's hand, he had already guessed that their relationship was definitely not just that of pure comrades-in-arms.

However, he could not confirm it until this instant. Levi's request to send the lady away first was all the confirmation he needed. Since they had gotten such an important bargaining chip, there was no reason for them to let her go before they got what they wanted.

"Mr. Gilbert, you're a very sharp man. You could tell that she and I have a special relationship at a glance," Levi admitted straightforwardly. He had been smiling all the while. No one could guess what he was thinking.

On the contrary, Levi's reaction made Sheldon hesitate a little. Levi was not a naive rich kid. They had exhausted many avenues to finally catch him.

The straightforward manner in which Levi admitted it made Sheldon doubt the relationship between him and Monique. Perhaps, he truly just wanted to ensure that she would leave here safely, without any other reason than human conscience.

"Young Master Brown, I've taken into consideration that you are a noble, so you may not be accustomed to using old things. This mobile phone and SIM card are both newly bought," Sheldon said. It was clear that he was eager to ask Levi to call Neil, but he didn't say it directly and kept beating around the bush.

"Mr. Gilbert, it's almost dawn now. I'm really exhausted after not sleeping for the whole night. Why don't you arrange for the two of us to rest first? When I'm well-rested, we'll have a proper discussion about anything you wish," Levi said. In fact, he was also good at playing these kinds of games of trickery.
