Alexander's fingers tightened tightly, but he wasn't as expectant as he had been before. "I'll prepare five million dollars in cash soon," the man on the other end of the phone finally opened his mouth as he said in a serious tone, "but promise me you won't give Alex a hard time! I must hear his voice and know he is all right first!"
The human trafficker breathed a sigh of relief as he thought, "Thank god the brat is really worth five million dollars this time." He sneered. "Okay, I'll let you hear his voice now!"
With that, he gave Alexander the phone.
Alexander's eyes turned red.
He didn't want to contact his uncle, but it turned out it was actually the uncle he hated most who cared about him.
"Uncle…" he called in a choked voice.
"Alex, don't be afraid," the man on the other end of the phone reassured him tenderly.. "I'll be right there to save you."
Alexander nodded. "Okay."
The human trafficker took back the phone and told Alexander's uncle where he should send the money.
The phone was hung off quickly, and the human trafficker grinned with delight.
"I didn't expect you to be worth such a large sum of money," the human trafficker said, patting Alexander on the shoulder. "You're great, boy. Although your dad isn't a good guy, your uncle is kind to you. So just follow your uncle and live a good life. Don't pay any attention to your bad dad!"
There was a gleam in Alexander's eyes.
Since this human trafficker actually began to treat him with a little sincerity, then it would be easier for him to carry out his plan.
Although he had contacted his uncle, he didn't want to count on his uncle as he didn't know if the latter could come to save him in time. These kidnappers were vicious. No one knew what they would do, so he had better escape on his own.
"You're right, sir." Alexander sighed and then suddenly said, "By the way, aren't the other men coming back? Do you need to discuss it with them when they come back?"
The human trafficker's expression changed slightly.
Alexander's simple words woke him up.
He was dying to earn five million dollars, and he didn't want to share it with anyone else, but if his partners came back, he wouldn't be able to defeat them all by himself.
Even if Alexander could help him hide it, he might not have a chance to bring him out to get the money.
No! He could never let his partners know about this! He had to leave with Alexander right now!
"Come with me!" the human trafficker grabbed Alexander's arms. Then, seeing Heather still holding hands with him, he impatiently pulled her away and pushed her to the ground.
Alexander was panicky. "If you want me to come with you, okay, but you have to take her with us!"
The human trafficker instantly frowned. It was very risky to take a person away. If he took an extra burden like Heather, he would have a better chance of being discovered by his partners!
"No! I can only take you. She is not valuable..." said the human trafficker impatiently.
"I am very valuable!" Heather was unconvinced and naively said, "My family is wealthy."
In an instant, the human trafficker's eyes lit up!
He had just regretted that he couldn't make another five million dollars, but now another five million dollars would come to him?
"Quick, give me your parents' telephone number!" the human trafficker said as his eyes brightened.
"Mm... I forgot..." she played with her fingers as she said with a wounded expression.
The human trafficker almost freaked out. What was the matter? Did she play a joke on him on purpose? And why did he think this chubby little girl made his kidnapping scene look like a joke?
"But I remember my elder brother's phone number!" said Heather happily, as if she was begging for praise.
"Okay. Give his number to me!" the human trafficker said impatiently, but he completely ignored that given Heather's age, her brother might also be young.
So when he heard a naive voice on the phone asking who he was, he even had a sudden urge to hit Heather!
"Brother, it's me, wah-wah..." When she heard Randy's voice, Heather burst into tears.
Randy's eyes instantly became cold when he heard Heather's voice on the other end of the phone. He looked exactly like a miniature Joshua!
"You kidnapped my younger sister, that fool?" Randy's voice sounded very cold. "How much do you want?"
The human trafficker was in a trance.
Judging from the voice, he guessed that Randy was not old. Maybe he was about the same age as Alexander. But was this kind of cold aura really what a kid of this age should have?
Besides... he hadn't said anything yet, but the boy had already guessed that he had kidnapped Heather and asked him how much he wanted.
The human trafficker felt a little speechless when he thought of Alexander, who had persuaded him to turn to extortion. The current children were... monsters?
"Five, five million!" the human trafficker came to his senses and said quickly.
He wondered if it was his illusion because he seemed to hear a very light but very contemptuous laugh!
"Ask your parents to send the money to this address!" he continued.
"I'll give you five million in cash, but you promise to take good care of that fool and not let her even lose a hair, or you'll die!" Randy said coldly.
The human trafficker couldn't help but feel a chill behind him. The phone had been hung up, and he was still a little dizzy. Why did it seem... that the kid meant he would prepare five million instead of his parents? Was he reliable or not?
But whether he was reliable or not, the human trafficker didn't want to miss the chance to make a fortune.
"Come with me quickly!" the human trafficker said and picked them up, but suddenly, his eyes rolled and fell on Alexander.
This kid was terrifying. Obviously, he was the one who was kidnapped, and his small body looked so thin, but he gave the human trafficker a sense of danger somehow.
At least Alexander could think of something he hadn't, so the human trafficker felt he couldn't treat him like an ordinary child.
He took a long thick rope from the room and directly tied Alexander up. Alexander did not resist, leaving him to do that.
Then the human trafficker was relieved. As for Heather, she didn't need him to bother!
After tying up Alexander, he led the two of them to walk out of the dilapidated building and bundled them into the car.
