Matthew replied curtly, "I''m here to kill you."


    He was hostile to organizations from Eastoria. Nheless, he wanted to talk to Rhett and learn the Eastorians'' true goal.


    Rhett shook his head slightly. He knew Matthew must be after something else, given that he hadn''t attacked right after seeing him.


    He said confidently, "I''m not afraid of death. Death, to me, is like falling asleep. But if possible, I''d rather not sleep. Money can get you anything you want. Tell me, how much do you want?" Money?


    Matthew slowly held up one finger.


    Rhett responded with a smile, "100 thousand dors, yes? I''ll give you that. Give me your ount number."


    Matthew pointed to the sky, meaning "higher."


    Rhett was still smiling. "100 million dors? Alright, I''ll give you 100 million dors."


    Matthew pointed up once again.


    Rhett''s smile vanished. "You want a billion dors? That''s far too greedy, don''t you think?"


    Matthew continued to point up, wanting more.


    Rhett looked appalled. "You want ten billion dors? Are you insane?"


    Thinking that he had reached Rhett''s limit, Matthew said, "Give me the money, and we can pretend I was never here. I''ll simply turn and leave."


    Rhett was hesitant. Ten billion dors was the total expense of that location for a year. Moreover, it was the total expense of tens of departments.


    As the leader, he had the authority to give Matthew the money. However, if he did so, his position woulde to nothing.


    When his eyesnded on Ss, he regained his confidence. Ss was worth ten billion dors. "I''ll give you the money. Ten billion dors. After that, you must leave immediately." Matthew nodded. "As soon as I get the money, I''ll go far away."


    Rhett pulled out his phone. "Tell me your ount number. I''ll transfer the money to you right now."


    Matthew told him the number. "You''d better not be up to something. I''d do anything for ten billion dors."


    Though he said that, he was astonished. He didn''t expect Ss to be so important to them. He continued to observe Rhett, trying to guess what his position was.


    Holding the phone, Rhett hesitated


    for a moment. Then, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and


    transferred ten billion dors to the ount Matthew had provided.

    Matthew''s phone chimed with a notification.


    BUMS


    At that moment, Matthew suddenly moved, turning into a shadow as he rushed into the room and punched Rhett in the face.


    Rhett flipped over and fell to the ground. A gunnded on the floor.


    Matthew exhaled deeply. Being


    careful had been the right course of action. Though he could have hidden by the door and left when Rhett pulled the gun out, the same couldn''t be said for Ss.  en


    He patted Rhett down and found nothing else.


    Then, he untied the rope around Ss, bound Rhett, and woke him up with a kick.


    Rhett awakened in pain. When he saw Matthew, he fumed, "You fucker... You didn''t keep your word. I gave you the money! Why didn''t you leave?"


    A forceful p sounded, and a bloodied tooth flew out of Rhett''s mouth. Blood dribbled from the corner of his mouth.


    Matthew said coldly, "Why don''t you show some respect?"


    Rhett''s eyes were filled with hatred. "Why did you lie to me? Where''s your integrity?"


    Matthew said indifferently, "Why would I care about that? You want me to be honest with a thief? You think you''re fit to preach integrity?"


    Rhett stared at Matthew in shock. He had been waiting for Matthew to lower his guard. Unfortunately, that didn''t work out. He couldn''t wrap his head around it.


    "Right from the start, you never


    nned to be honest. I was wrong


    about you. But... that''s ten billion dors! Why did you not cheer or jump for joy but attack without hesitation instead?"
