At Kent's response, Megan has no words. She shook her head silently.
Skyler laughed mischievously, "Officer Castello, you've got to be kidding me! I took such a huge effort to kidnap you three, why should I let them go at your command?"
He looked at Kent and said, "I know you, you're one of Donghai City’s rich brat, Kent Hough isn't it?"
Kent nodded his head frantically, trying to appease Skyler, he offered, "Yes, I am! If you let me go, I’ll give you money! Just name your price! I’ll give it all to you!"
Skyler laughed, "Afraid of death, are you? I heard you and Officer Castello got engaged. Am I right? As a man, don't you want to save your fiancee?”
Kent opened his mouth, but no words came out. He swallowed hard. Must be still in shock.
Skyler ignored him and turned to Darryl, "To be able to have a meal with Young Master Kent, you must be rich too." Darryl could not understand what Skyler meant by that, he frowned.
Skyler continued with a twisted smile, "Alright, you two have done nothing to the Grandmaster Heaven Cult. I'm not an unreasonable person. I will let one of you go."
Kent's heart skipped a beat. Darryl calmly asked," What do you mean by that?"
Skyler chuckled, "It's easy. Let's follow according to your business methods. You two will bid for your own life. I will let the highest bidder go. As for the lower bidder...I'll first chop off one finger, then I'll throw you into a lockup room."
Darryl squinted his eyes in suspicion, and thought, 'D* mn, he knows how to play the game'.
At the same time, Kent interjected, "I’ll call! I offer thirty million!" Kent was excited, he glanced snobbishly at Darryl. 'This dude is only a live-in son-in -law. I doubt he even has three million, let alone thirty. I'm going to win! Once I’m out I will get my men to save Megan. She'll be so touched she might agree to spend a night with me! Haha!' thought Kent gleefully.
Seeing how gung ho Kent is, Darryl laughed silently.' This dude is willing to do anything to live. Starting his bid at thirty million? How much should I bid, fifty?' Just when Darryl is in deep thought, he glanced at Skyler. He noticed how Skyler had a shifty expression on his face, suddenly Darryl sobered up.
'Hold up! This dude brought us here to the cult's secret lair. How could they possibly let anyone know about this place? No matter how much I offer, they are not going to let us go. So what's the point of bidding? To satisfy Skyler?' thought Darryl. He looked at Skyler firmly and said, "I don't have thirty million."
At that, Kent was extremely delighted he could almost pee himself. He cheered, "I won! I won! Haha!"
Skyler signaled his men. They grabbed Darryl and pressed him on the table. They were about to chop his finger off when Megan shrieked, "You can’t do this! This has nothing to do with him. You want your revenge, come at me!"
Skyler ignored her. Kent was annoyed, he frowned at Megan and whispered, "Why do you care so much about this loser? He has no money to bid because he's useless. Don't worry, once I'm out I will find a way to rescue you."
Megan did not reply. She was looking at Darryl with a frantic expression.
At this moment, Darryl started to panic.
