Chapter 381 I Want The Hansley Family
While the island was in complete turmoil, Jonathan brought Cecilia to a nearby mountain.
Atop the mountain, it was misty and clouded by drizzle.
From the mountain peak, one could vaguely overlook the entire island. When the sky darkened, the breathtaking night view of the island was in full view.
Jonathan casually lit up a cigarette as he sat on a rock with his legs dangling in the air.
He was thoroughly enjoying the scenery.
However, standing behind him, Cecilia was not so at ease. Her face was deathly pale as she stared at the man in horror. Although Jonathan did not do anything to her, Cecilia could not suppress the surging fear in her heart. “You’re just letting me be. Aren’t you worried that I will run off?”
Jonathan had his back faced towards Cecelia, not even bothering to keep an eye on her.
He did not even tie her up to restrict her movements.
It was as if he didn’t care if she escaped.
“What’s there to worry about?” Jonathan replied without even looking back. “If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t even have a fighting chance to escape.”
Not just the measly Cecilia, Jonathan could destroy the entire Hansley family with great ease.
Where could she run to anyway? All the land on earth belongs to Asura’s Office!
Even if she ran to the ends of the earth, she could not outrun his reach.
“What are you planning to do now? Are you going to just keep me hostage and demand money from my family?” A trace of remorse flashed in Cecilia’s heart as she looked at Jonathan’s back.
If she knew that this would happen, she would not have lied to Jonathan back then.
However, she had no way of knowing that Jonathan was such a maniac. The man actually turned the entire Gronga upside down and kidnapped her in front of everyone.
He even got rid of Wayde on the spot!
It was clear that he was a psychopath.
“Money?” Jonathan chuckled after he heard what Cecilia said. “Do you really think I’m short of money?”
There was at least ten billion in just that one bank card of his that could never be exhausted. Not to mention, he took over a few influential families in Jazona and Yaleview.
Jonathan had at least several hundred billions worth in just assets alone.
A few billion was like peanuts to him.
“Then… what do you want?” Cecilia asked nervously.
“I already said earlier that it’s not so easy to take my things. My debts are not settled so easily, either.” Jonathan tossed the cigarette butt in his hand, then turned to look at Cecilia. “The moment you decided to go back on your word, it became a matter that cannot be settled with money.”
“So, what are you going to do?” Cecilia bit her lip.
“It’s simple. You and your Hansley family have to pay the right price to make it up to me,” Jonathan said coolly.
“Jonathan, don’t take things too far!” Cecilia grew increasingly anxious as she listened to Jonathan.
“Don’t forget, this is Gronga. You took me away in front of so many people and even killed Wayde Larson. Do you think the Larson family will let you off so easily? Do you think the Department of Criminal Investigation of Gronga will let you off so easily?”
“Too far?” Jonathan chuckled coldly upon hearing Cecilia’s little speech. “If it weren’t for me, your grandfather would probably still be lying in his hospital bed, breathing his last breaths, and ready to go any minute. And you, Ms. Cecilia, you would probably still be ostracized by those siblings of yours and not even be able to be part of the core of the Hansley family!”
Jonathan took a breath and continued, “As of now, your grandfather’s sickness is cured, and your father has successfully taken over the Hansley family. And you, Cecilia, have become the hot topic of Gronga. Now, you’re saying I’m taking things too far? Back then, did I force you to buy the Phantom Grass from me?”
“You…” Cecilia wanted to refute, but she could not find the words to say.
Jonathan was right.
If she did not take the Phantom Grass from the Shadow Dragon Pool back then, she would not have become the heroine of the Hansley family, and her father could not have taken over the Hansley family.
Suddenly, she felt somewhat regretful. If she had not tried to fool Jonathan and refused to give him the money, maybe things wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Furthermore, she would not have been dragged to this desolate place by Jonathan.
If Jonathan really wanted to do anything to her, she could scream until her lungs gave out and it would be futile.
“Jonathan, let me go, and I will give you all the money. As long as you let me go, I will guarantee that the Hansley family will give you all the money. Heck, I’ll even give you an extra one hundred million!” At that critical moment, Cecilia finally caved in.
Since things had already come to this and she had fallen into Jonathan’s hands, she had no choice but to surrender and obediently give him the money.
Her life was more important than money.
Cecelia’s father had only just taken over the Hansley family, bestowing her the title of being the most revered daughter of the Hansley family in Gronga. She had been waiting for this day to come for almost twenty years.
Hence, she could not bear to give up her life just like that.
“It’s too late!”
Jonathan simply shook his head at Cecilia’s words. “I literally just said that this matter is not something that money can solve anymore.”
“What exactly do you want, then?” Cecilia asked while biting her lip.
“I want the whole Hansley family!” said Jonathan in an icy tone.
Hearing the man’s words, Cecilia subconsciously opened her mouth in opposition. “No way! The Hansley family would never agree to it.”
“They won’t agree?” Jonathan chuckled. “If the Hansley family refuses, then I will crush your entire family!”
Hearing that, Cecilia felt a chill run down her spine.
A terrifying sense of dread engulfed her entire body from head to toe.
At that moment, she realized that she had messed with the wrong person.
Time flew by, and one night passed in the blink of an eye.
Throughout the entire time, Jonathan did not budge an inch from the rock.
The cold night and strong winds were nothing to him. He had endured much worse when he was in the army previously. No harm could come to him just from a little harsh weather.
Besides, Jonathan could use the time to cultivate the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.
Unfortunately, Cecilia was not as tough as he was. She was just a normal person. What was more, she was a pampered and spoiled daughter of a rich family.
One night of chilly weather almost turned Cecelia into a block of ice.
The worst part was when the sun was beginning to peek through the clouds. The moment the sunrays hit her body, she could not help but sneeze.
Cecelia had caught a cold.
She even almost got a high fever from the frigid weather.
“Jonathan, how long do you plan to keep me here?” Cecilia sniffled.
She was so cold that her eyes were red and her face was ghastly pale.
In addition to her frail appearance, Cecelia looked extremely pitiful.
It was heart-rending to see.
