Benny lifted his head to gaze at Dave and answered calmly, “Paramount is the capital city of the
Central Federation. You’re digging your own grave by doing this.”
Dave sneered, “Ha! Don’t worry about that. All of you are big shots. Of course, I won’t dare to lay a
finger on you. However, it’s rare for my comrades and I to show up. It would be inappropriate for us to
leave empty-handed. You might not know this…”
He wore a triumphant smile before continuing, “In order to buy us more time to get along with each
other, I spent a great deal of effort to avert the attention of the police officers.”
There was a sudden change in the expressions of the big shots who were counting on the police
officers to come to their rescue.
Benny took a deep breath and asked solemnly, “Spit it. What do you want?”
“Money, of course.” Dave waved the gun in his hand. “We’re not asking for too much. One billion from
each of you from Table No.1 and a hundred million from each guest from Table No.2. As for Table No.3,
fifty million each will do.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeated at Table No.3, Simon mumbled crabbily, “Why is he asking fifty million less from us as
compared to Table No.2? He’s obviously looking down on us!”
The terrified Alvina rolled her eyes at her husband in exasperation as she pinched his arm and
whispered, “Come on! I can’t believe you’re upset by that at this moment. Fifty million from each of us
from Table No.3 would total up to two hundred and fifty million!”
“Exactly!” Simon pulled a long face. “You, me, and uncle’s family. That would add up to two hundred
and fifty million!”
Meanwhile, Benny lifted his brows and blurted. “One billion from each of us would total up to nine
billion. Are you able to bring away so much money?”
“Don’t worry about that, Mr. Fest. Nonetheless, your calculation is wrong. I’m expecting twelve billion
from your table instead of nine.”
“Twelve billion?!” The big shots furrowed their brows. Didn’t he say one billion from each person? There
are nine guests at our table, so who’s going to fork out the extra three billion?
Two businessmen, who were overjoyed to be seated at the same table as the big shots, were now
eating their hearts out.
If they sat at Table No.2, they would have saved ninety million!
“You heard me right. It’s twelve billion.” Dave nodded.
Just then, the extraordinarily muscular Bugsy walked toward Dave with a laptop in his hand.
Dave took over the laptop and ordered, “There’s a difficult guy out there that needs you to handle him.
Jasmine will tell you his location in a while.”
“Roger that.” Bugsy guffawed menacingly with his chest muscles pumped.
After switching on the laptop and placing it on Table No.1, Dave glanced at the guests and fixed his
gaze on Willow in the end. “President Willow from Draco Chamber of Commerce. What a pleasure to
meet you! You’ve invested tens of billions in Paramount in just a few days. I doubt an extra three billion
would be a problem for you.”
“So, you’re expecting four billion from me?” Willow cast a nonchalant glance at Dave.
“You’re right.” Dave nodded with a grin. “Do you have any issue with that?”

“I do.” Willow wore a faint smile. “I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the security system of the central
bank of the Central Federation.”
“Don’t worry. We’re not dumb.” Dave lifted his brows and continued, “The Central Federation has no
control over the foreign territories.”
“Foreign territories?” A mysterious smile tugged at Willow’s lips as she blinked and nodded. “Alright
then, I have no issue with that.”
“Great. I’m glad that you can set a good example for Mr. Fest and the others.” Dave said while clicking
on the laptop.
“Interesting. It’s my first time encountering a theft since I became the president of Draco Chamber of
Commerce.”
A theft?
Besides being impressed with Willow’s boldness, the other big shots were distressed that they were
soon going to lose their hard-earned money.
It’s a freaking billion!
This is not theft at all. It’s a bloody heist!
