“It seems like you've run into some serious trouble.”
Axel burst into hearty laughter on the other end of the phone.
Their organization originally consisted of many small teams, with no direct connection between each team.
On ordinary days, everyone was busy with their own affairs. If they were to come together, there was even a chance they might end up in a fight.
So, upon hearing that Roddy was being hunted down, Axel didn't worry at all. On the contrary, he seemed to take great pleasure in Roddy's misfortune.
If it weren't for the two-thirds of the profits, Axel would have hung up the phone by then. “Transfer the money to my account now, and as soon as I receive it, I'll set off immediately.”
F*ck! That b*stard Axel is actually trying to profit from other people’s misfortunes! Roddy gritted his teeth and said, “There's no way I can transfer all the money to you right now. I'll only give you half. If you don't come to save me, the other half will be used to put a bounty on your head.”
Axel's expression turned gloomy after he heard what Roddy said over the phone.
He intended to take the money and watch Roddy meet his end, but he didn't anticipate Roddy being even more ruthless. Even on the brink of death, Roddy was determined to take someone down with him.
“All right. Wait for me. I'm leaving right away.”
After hanging up the phone, Roddy let out a long sigh. Who would've known that Axel would be the one stationed in the organization this time around? Axel is indeed powerful, but he's a greedy man. However, it's fine. As long as I can save my own life, it doesn't matter if Axel makes a profit.
“Captain, I've found a cave up ahead. Should we take shelter there?”
Clearly, this wasn't their first time dealing with such a situation. So, the moment they saw the cave, they instantly recognized it as a natural hideout.
“Let's hide inside first, and disguise the entrance.”
Roddy pushed the hostage into the cave, instructing Kayvon to create a diversion outside. He also sprinkled some powder at the entrance to mask their scent.
