Chapter 303 - Plus… you will have good looking boss!

The boss shakily showed 3 fingers…

"Three crores?" Shreya asked surprised…

The guy shook frantically.

"Thirty crores?" Shreya asked looking slightly satisfied.

But the guy's eyes widened inexplicable as he shook his head more quickly this time and at last deciding to open his mouth to answer her…

"T-thirty lakhs!" His already gruff voice was further distorted due to the broken jaws and bruised throat.

Shreya widened her eyes speechless…                           

While Zack couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter.

"Damn, Shreya… you are getting cheap these days!!" He said amused looking at Shreya…

"What kind of idiot actually sold me so cheap?" Shreya fumed…

"I-I do-don't k-know. I just got an anonymous email. T-they sent a picture of yo-you a-and they even s-said when y-you w-w-will arrive in the country. The instruction was t-to kill you before you leave the country and blame it on rebels… Half payment before the job is done and the other half will be deposited after the success of the job!!" The guy confessed after some persuasion from the guy standing beside him.

"How did you receive your advance?" Shreya asked.

"Wire transfer…" The guy replied.

"Where is your computer?" Shreya asked next…

The guy shook his head frantically this time… the computer not only had these transaction records but many more like that. He was a street rat who bowed his head when needed and bullied when he had the upper hand.

Someone like that naturally tends to have a lot of information on everyone in the city…

Especially given he tends to take in stray kids into his wing and use them to his advantage, things he knew in this city were not small… and that information is what is keeping him feel secure to go around this city with some arrogance.

The minute people know about the things he has, either way, he will end up being dead quicker than he could reach for his guns… so, at any cost, he cannot give her his laptop. He would rather take some more beating.

"Anyone here knows where his laptop is?" Shreya asked the other members of the gang.

The boss shook his head frantically as he said, "Don't you dare!! You would never be able to walk these streets alive ever again!!"

As soon as he finished, the guy beside him served him with a blow on his gut making him groan.

"Anybody who tells me where his laptop is will get half of the pay he got for this job!!" Shreya announced happily…

"If I am happy I might even give the full amount!" Shreya tempted them further until one of the guys went ahead and brought back a silver laptop from under a car's floor.

Shreya smiled at that…

"Anybody knows the password?" She asked next. The authority in her voice made the guys instinctively answer before they could stop themselves or even think about whether or not to co-operate with her.

They all shook their heads in unison.

If they ever went near the laptop, they will get hell. SO, nobody dared to go anywhere near him when he was using it.

"Too bad… okay, then. Next task… somebody here wants to help persuade him to give me the password?" Shreya asked next…

This time around everyone looked at each other waiting to see who would go…

"You should know by now that he is an asshole of the worst kind… he abuses you guys and never feeds you right while he goes around with golden teeth and a shiny watch… If you guys help me, I promise to take you with me! You will definitely have better pay if nothing else!! You will have a better life in this godforsaken country!! A legal one… You know I have more influence in this country than your boss!" Shreya said sitting back.

A few guys took a hesitant step towards the boss…

"Plus… you will have good looking boss!!!" Shreya beamed… she gave them the best smile…

Zack couldn't help but chuckle helplessly. She was playing with these guys like a kid playing with a barbie doll.

Next thing you know, the stout boss groaned as a punch landed on his stomach…

After about half an hour of diligent persuasion from his own men, the boss relented and decided to keep himself alive and gave up the password.

Shreya's hand flew around after that… a slight coldness passed as she looked at the things in there…

"How the hell did we produce this kind of an idiot in our own family?" Shreya mumbled.

"What do you mean?" Zack asked looking at the screen over her shoulders.

"Mithun Srivastav!!" Shreya whispered. Her voice lost all of her warmth.

What little attachment she had for her cousin had lost its meaning when he tried to kill her…

She really wished it was anybody but him. In spite of herself, the feeling of betrayal felt as if someone was suffocating her.

They might not be close, but she and he still grew up together… he was still someone Adithya raised. How he came to become someone like this, she did not know? She could not understand!

"Come on, now. Let's get out of here… we have what we need." Zack said.

Shreya shook her head coming out of her thoughts.

"You have a pen and a paper?" Shreya asked Zack.

When Zack handed them over, Shreya scribbled away in it for a second before looking at the guys in the barn.

"This is the address of my office here in T country… if you go there and tell my name… they will give you a job… a legit legal job. But you guys should work hard… learn. Do not stray away… The minute you cross the line again, you will be back on the streets before you know it! The smallest of crime, you will rat on the street." Shreya warned.

She then handed over the slip to the eldest person there was…

The cops got the stout guy before Shreya completely walked away from the barn.
