Luna narrowed her eyes when she saw the image of Sean, then turned to glare at Thomas. "What the hell do you want?"
"To work with you." Thomas placed one hand elegantly on his knee while the other remained poised on the back of the couch and stared back at her nonchalantly. "This seems like a reasonable offer, doesn't it? To get two people in return for signing a contract with me?
"Nonetheless, you have another optionreject my offer and let your husband and brother continue searching for my hostages, but..."
He removed his hand from the couch, brought the cup to his lips to take a sip, then glanced impassively at Luna. "The fact that I captured these two people without anyone noticing means I'm fully capable of doing the opposite: hide them someplace so obscure that neither your husband nor brother will be able to find them in three days."
He glanced at the video displayed on the screen and added, "You can see for yourself how dirty this dungeon is, which means it's likely infested with germs and bacteria. If Sean were to continue staying here without changing his wound dressing in three days... Do you think he'll be able to keep his hands?"
Finally, Thomas placed the cup back onto the coffee table and said with a contemptuous expression, "Although I must say, the Landry and Lynch families are so rich that even if he became crippled, you'd be able to take care of him for the rest of his life, is that right?
"Of course, nothing matters more than your dignity, Ms. Luna. After all, this is a man who isn't even related to you, so why would it matter to you that he becomes crippled?"
Luna bit her lip upon hearing this.
She instinctively pressed the ring on her finger in an attempt to contact Joshua with the hidden microphone so that he would be able to hear their conversation.
However, to her surprise, a loud screeching echoed through her hidden earpiece as soon as she pressed the button.
The sound was so piercingly loud that she could not help furrowing her brows as panic spread through her body.
Luna bit her lip, ;f)
