The call got through immediately.
"Do you know what happened?" James knew exactly what had happened because he had ordered his assistant, Tommy, to abduct Richard.
As a matter of fact, Tommy simply carried out his task without understanding its essence. It was the mayor who had told him to meet the factory owner. Then, the South Regent's men shoved Richard into the trunk without Tommy's knowledge.
The mayor had simply told the assistant to drive out of the city.
With that, Richard was whisked out of the city without any hassle.

He was still confused when the police took him. Despite the harsh interrogation, he still did not know what he had done wrong. He simply said that the mayor was the one who had assigned him the task.

Of course, we want money-a hundred billion." Stephen cried in disbelief, "A hundred billion!? The deal with Richard was worth a hundred billion. If he surrendered the ransom, then he would lose a hundred billion before the deal even got through.
George snatched the phone and shouted, "What? A hundred billion?! That's ridiculous! How can you even accept that much money?!" The man replied, "I understand, but His Highness has a lot of men, and that's just enough for all of them to fill their stomachs." "His Highness?" George had a bad feeling listening to the name.
