"Fourth Young Master...”
Burton's men stared at Julien unbelievably. They hadn't expected Julie to catch up with them.
Even Burton was shocked for a moment. He then narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Julien. "Mr. Flint."
"Burton," Julien said.
This surprised Burton. His pupils contracted slightly. "Do you know me?"
"Originally, I didn't know you, nor did I want to know you, but you kidnapped my woman, forcing me to know someone like you," Julien answered sarcastically while staring at Burton icily.
Hearing the words "my woman", Sydney was stunned.
Surprisingly, she didn't hate to hear him say that.
Burton was enraged by Julien's words.
Burton was an illegitimate son, and since he was young, he had been criticized because of his identity.
Thus, he was stung by Julien's taunt. Burton’s face twisted as he laughed viciously. "I'm sorry to let you know a nobody like me, Mr. Flint."
"Well, cut the crap, Burton. Return Sydney to me," Julien said in a deep voice, pointing at Sydney, who was held by two strong men with a coat covering her.
"Return her to you?" Burton narrowed his eyes. "What if I say no? " "If so, you won't be able to leave Port City today." Julien's voice was sharp.
Burton sneered. "It sounds as if you will let me go as long as I return her to you. After all, from the moment I kidnapped Sydney, I've offended you. Everyone knows you're vengeful. Will you let me go?"
Julien clenched his fists, "If you don't hurt Sydney and return her to me, I'll let you go."
Sydney and Burton froze.
Burton looked at Julien with amazement and suddenly laughed. "Mr. Flint, you opened my eyes. You're even willing to let your enemy go because of a woman. This is not your style. It seems that you love this woman, so why did you divorce her?"
Hearing this question, Julien drooped his eyelids. No one could see the emotions in his eyes. He opened his thin lips and said in a cold voice, "This is not your business. Return Sydney to me, and you can leave now."
Burton sneered. "Mr. Flint, you can't cheat me. It’s just your stalling tactic. You're alone and can’t save Sydney by yourself. That’s why you are willing to let us go. As soon as we leave, you will ask your people to catch us."
Julien’s eyes flickered. He pursed his thin lips.
This was his stopgap.
Because Julien came first and was alone, he could not save Sydney. He made a sound to expose himself just to prevent Burton and his men from taking Sydney away. No one knew whether Julien's helicopter would arrive earlier than Burton's.
If Burton's helicopter arrived first, Burton and his men would immediately board it and run away, and then it would be difficult for Julien to catch up with Sydney.
Thus, Julien tried to negotiate with Burton. If Burton released Sydney, Julien would let Burton leave and catch him later. However, Julien hadn't expected Burton to see through his trick.
As an illegitimate son, Burton couldn't be a fool. Otherwise, he wouldn't have defeated so many half-brothers.
"Then what do you want?" Julien's face darkened as he gazed at Burton.
"What do I want?" Burton laughed sinisterly. "It is very simple. I kidnapped your ex-wife just to kill Caybel. Now I haven't killed him yet, so I can't let her go. Of course, I can do you a favor. If you cooperate with me, I will promise not to hurt your ex-wife and to return her to you after I kill Caybel. What do you say? "
