The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 172

Christopher nodded in confirmation, "Yes, that's the guy!"

"Then reach out to him now! I need that Imperial Green Jade snatched back from that country bumpkin, and while you're at it, make sure that bumpkin gets taken out. As for Jessica, I don't need him for that. Once the country boy is gone, I'll handle Jessica myself!"

"Andrew, although I know Ryan, and he's a good contact, asking him to take someone out comes with a hefty price, and not even I can waive that!"

Andrew's brow creased, "How much does he want?"

Christopher held up a single finger, "One hundred million!"

One hundred million?

The figure sent a chill down Andrew's spine, snapping him back to reality.

"Great Stephens, thanks to that Isaac you brought in, I've already lost billions! Now, you've got this Ryan, and he wants one hundred million? I've realized that you're treating me like a fool, Stephens. Do you really think I'm that stupid to fall for your tricks again?"

The mention of money made Andrew logical again, and he flatly rejected Christopher’s proposal.

"No! You're so wrong, Andrew! I honestly had no idea Isaac would pull something like that! But you can trust me on this, Ryan is reliable. Please, trust me just one more time. Ryan is not a businessman like Isaac; he doesn’t play those kinds of games, and he definitely won't jack up the price last minute. One hundred million is actually a bargain for him to take out that country boy. And if that's too much for you, Andrew, feel free to find someone else! That Daniel isn't just any country bumpkin. You and I both know that not even Justin from the Black Panther Club could handle him."
