Chapter 2244: Bounty



"Ahem. Tell me, what's the matter?" Qiao Mei said in a serious tone.

"Don't ask about the matters in Sky City anymore. Also, don't come to Sky City for the time being. I'll keep you updated," Xia Zhe said seriously.

"Is it very serious? I hope Daniel and the others won't cause trouble for you!" Qiao Mei asked with a frown.

"It's alright, I can handle it," Xia Zhe said.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something given the urgency of the situation then. I had left a surprise for Daniel and the others!" Qiao Mei said.

When Qiao Mei was staying in Alan's house, she had secretly attached her superpower to the plants. Other than Alan's study, which had no windows, she could check out all the other rooms clearly. It was as if she had surveillance cameras installed in every room.

Although it appeared that Alan and Daniel doted on Jessica and it was as if she had the final say in the family, the reality was that she was constantly being suppressed. Daniel often treated her coldly and was even quite nasty verbally. Alan tended to ignore her and would not respond even when she greeted him.

Most of the family servants were hired later and they all took instructions from Daniel. Under his influence, these servants were also not nice to Jessica. They would still do chores like laundry and cleaning for her, but when it was time for meals, they would deliberately leave her out and cause her to offend Daniel.

It was rainy in Sky City recently. Daniel had arranged for many thugs to go and cause trouble for Xia Zhe, deliberately causing various kinds of accidents. Sometimes it was a car accident, sometimes it was a chaotic fight. Daniel even offered a bounty of 100,000 dollars to anyone who could bring Xia Zhe to him alive.

Everyone only knew that Xia Zhe was a stowaway and thought that he was just smart and not really good at fighting. They did not expect that after a week, no one had succeeded in the task and the bounty had increased from 100,000 dollars to 600,000 dollars.

"Young Master... Our people are all dead... and we still haven't succeeded..." a bodyguard stood in front of Daniel and said fearfully.

"How many people does he have?" Daniel asked.

"It's just... just... just him..." The bodyguard's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, afraid that he would anger Daniel and lose his life.

When Daniel heard the answer, he picked up the crystal ashtray on the coffee table and smashed it hard on the floor as he shouted, "Trash! What do I pay you for! What a bunch of trash! How many people have died in the past week! More than 20 of our fighters are actually dead! And he's still unharmed!"

"I'm sorry, Young Master!" the bodyguards said as they knelt on the floor.

"What's the use of being sorry! Feeding a dog is better than feeding all of you! You might as well die!" Daniel said agitatedly.

At this moment, the door to Alan's house opened. Alan sat in a wheelchair as the butler pushed him in. Daniel put a lid on his bad temper and said respectfully to Alan, "Dad, you're back."
