“Don’t you want to save Richards Manor?” He finally stirred from his train of thought and continued to question Hansen.
“That’s why I’m starting to negotiate the terms with you now,” Hansen said straightforwardly.
“What’s your condition?” Yadriel narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
Hansen raised his head. The light in his eyes was gloomy. He said word by word, “Remove the two terrorists. Then, I’ll give you the diamond. That’s my condition.”
Yadriel narrowed his eyes at Hansen in the video.
He stood firmly, ignoring his own life and death. He only wanted Yadriel to let go of Richards Manor.
Wasn’t he afraid of death?
The reason he came that day was most likely because he was prepared to die. Once Yadriel had obtained the Ocean Heart, he wouldn’t let Hansen go either.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, he had the courage to come here. He also discussed the terms with him, only to protect his family. Yadriel had some admiration for Hansen in his heart. However, it was a pity that they were not friends.
“What makes you think that I will agree to your conditions?” Yadriel was silent for a moment before he asked.
A disdainful sneer appeared on Hansen’s face.
“You want the Ocean Heart, and you want to kill me and destroy my mansion. That is too greedy of you. Think about it. How is this possible? I am not a fool. If you want me dead, then I’ll gladly cooperate. But you must let go of the mansion. This is my bottom line. Otherwise, I will destroy the jewel. You’ll never have it.” Hansen analyzed.
Yadriel had already lost so much to obtain the Ocean Heart. Even his own son had died. At that moment, he would not give it up.
At that time, Yadriel couldn’t help but to feel frightened after hearing what Hansen said. If he wanted to have a better future, to reappear in the European political arena, then he needed money. If he didn’t have money, then it would make no difference. Everything he did was for this treasure. How could he allow it to be destroyed?
He thought about it for a while.
If he agreed to Hansen’s request to let the two terrorists leave the mansion and surrender them to the police, then he would lose the leverage to exact revenge. However, Hansen would not be able to escape from his hands that evening. Richards Manor and the Richards Group were so large. If Hansen was no longer around, then would there still be a rich and powerful Richards family?
The answer was obvious.
What a painful thing it would be for Trevor to lose his only son. He bet Trevor would want to die more than to live after Hansen’s death. In fact, it could torture even more people.
He was articulating the whole situation, and his eyes shone with light. After a while, he agreed. “Okay, I promise you.”
As soon as Yadriel agreed, Hansen’s nervous heart was finally set at ease, and his whole body relaxed.
“Then, ask the two terrorists to turn themselves in.” Hansen shouted from the other end, “After that, I’ll consider giving you the Ocean Heart.”
After thinking for a while, Yadriel said, “I will order them to show themselves. After they turn themselves in, you must take five steps to the left. There will be someone coming over to get the diamond.”
He took a step back and made the final arrangement.
“Alright.” Hansen gritted his teeth and agreed.
“I’m sorry, Jenna. I need to protect Richards Manor. I’m sorry for not being able to stay. Please take good care of the Richards Group and Richards Manor. Take good care of our children too.” He closed his eyes. Jenna’s voice and her smile emerged in his mind, and tears flowed down his face.
Yadriel redirected his focus to the surveillance video at Richards Manor and picked up his earphones.
At that moment, Richards Manor was heavily guarded. As long as he ordered the two terrorists to show themselves, they would be seen and arrested immediately.
Yadriel’s eyes were fixed on the video. After thinking for a while, he finally gave the order and asked the terrorists to come out.
The terrorists never expected that, at that crucial moment, they would be asked to surrender themselves. After a moment of astonishment, they walked out from the tree and the underground tunnel according to Yadriel’s orders.
They were dressed in strange clothes and there were bombs bound on their bodies. The patrolling policemen and members of the Grand Eagles were everywhere in the mansion. Thus, as soon as they appeared, they were immediately discovered. They were arrested and brought away from the mansion.
Now that the two terrorists had been taken away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Richards, where are you?” At that time, Alvin was most worried about Hansen. He couldn’t get to him. So, he immediately dialed another phone number.
When Hansen saw Alvin calling, he knew in his heart that Richards Manor was safe.
“Alvin, I’m fine. Is the mansion safe now? Did the two terrorists surrender themselves?” he asked in a deep voice.
Alvin understood then. The reason those terrorists turned themselves in was because of Hansen’s negotiation with Yadriel over there.
At that moment, he thought of something more serious. If Yadriel promised to let go of Richards Manor, then he would not let go of Hansen.
“Mr. Richards, I’ll be right there.” He paused for a second, then he hung up and ran.
Hansen felt bitter in his heart. He took out his phone and dialed a number. After a while, Trevor answered.
“Dad.”
As soon as he spoke, Trevor’s trembling voice rang out. “Hansen, my son, is everything good? Be careful. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
Hansen’s eyes lit up, and he said softly, “Father, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
At that time, when Yadriel saw that the terrorists had been taken away, Hansen was calling someone on the phone and did not walk to the left. Yadriel immediately screamed on the phone.
“Hansen, take five steps to the left.”
“Dad, Richards Manor is safe now. Have a good rest. I have something to do here. I’ll hang up first,” Hansen showed a bitter smile, but still comforted him before he hung up the phone.
At that time, he walked into Yadriel’s trap and couldn’t get away.
Yadriel instructed him to take five steps to the left. After doing so, he noticed a bomb just five steps away from him. He guessed that there were also many guns aimed at him in the dark.
At that time, he could only destroy the Ocean Heart before he died to prevent this national treasure from falling into the wrong hands.
