Chapter 413: Chapter 413: She Gets Two Hundred Million Alone

When Hel counted to three, Lu Xiao eventually stood up.

He didn’t even cover his face.

"What are you doing, get down!" Spotting Lu Xiao suddenly rising, a nearby thug immediately pointed his gun at him.

Hel also glanced at Lu Xiao with a sidelong look.

Heh, to think there are actually people not afraid to die.

In the corner, Yan Yun saw Lu Xiao stand up, and her expression froze.

She had never imagined Lu Xiao would make a move at a time like this; it was practically a death-seeking behavior.

That sick bastard Hel might just shoot Lu Xiao on the spot.

"It’s just about the money, right? I’ll give you two hundred million US dollars, how about letting everyone go?" Lu Xiao said to Hel, his tone indifferent.

Hel had been about to order his henchmen to shoot, but upon hearing Lu Xiao’s words, he managed to suppress the impulse to kill.

Two hundred million US dollars!

To be honest, his goal for this job had been one hundred million US dollars.

The other party was actually offering twice that much.

The other tourists were also stunned; they had never expected someone to stand up and pay a ransom for the entire ship.

Two hundred million US dollars, converted, was more than a billion in Hua Country Currency.

Who would have thought that such a wealthy tycoon was on the same cruise with them?

"I forgot to mention the rules just now. You can pay the ransom for people you don’t know, but the price has to be doubled," Hel said.

"So, I want four hundred million US dollars." Hel demanded a lion’s share.

Since the other side could offer two hundred million, surely four hundred million wouldn’t be a problem.

"Agreed," Lu Xiao nodded.

Two hundred million or four hundred million made no difference to him; he wasn’t even clear how much he was worth now, but anyway, it was a lot.

Especially after plundering the Superpower Alliance’s resource bank.

Most of the loot he had handed over to Irina, allowing her to sell it through channels of the Civilization Book Club.

Not sure how sales were going, but every day a long string of numbers poured into his account.

Hearing how easily Lu Xiao agreed, Hel felt he might have asked too little.

"Four hundred million US dollars is the ransom you’ll pay for others. For yourself, you still need to pay four hundred million."

Lu Xiao looked somewhat impatient.

"Eight hundred million US dollars, right? Any more hikes?" Lu Xiao asked.

The amount of money wasn’t really his concern, but he couldn’t stand Hel constantly raising the price.

"No more increases. Eight hundred million US dollars, you pay, and I release the hostages," Hel said, raising his eyebrows. He was very satisfied with the price.

Eight hundred million US dollars, eight times his original objective.

With eight hundred million, after splitting off one hundred million, the remaining seven hundred million would be all his.

"Everyone must be released, including those guards," Lu Xiao said, pointing in the direction of Yan Yun.

In the corner, Yan Yun was slightly taken aback, then her heart almost overflowed with affection for Lu Xiao.

Indeed, he was the man Yan Yun favored. Although he lacked in physical strength and wasn’t good at fighting, he had an extraordinary ability with money.

Not only did he have it, but his heart also held much love.

There were certainly others among the tourists who had money, but Lu Xiao was the only one who had stepped forward to save people.

Not just the little girl, but everyone on the ship.

A whole eight hundred million US dollars.

"Everyone else can go, but I’m taking her," Hel said, pointing at Yan Yun.

He was determined to have his way with Yan Yun tonight.

"I said everyone, not one less, unless you don’t want those eight hundred million."

"Believe it or not, I’ll blow your head off right now!" Hel abruptly aimed his gun at Lu Xiao, his face distorted with rage.

"I don’t believe you." Lu Xiao scoffed. Your eyes are filled with money, and I have money, plenty of it. How could you possibly pull the trigger?

Besides, even if you did, you wouldn’t be able to kill me.

Your little handgun won’t do. You’d need a cannon, a missile...

"One billion US dollars, and Yan Yun is yours," Hel said, holstering his gun; he indeed would not kill Lu Xiao.

Eight hundred million was simply too much to pass up.

By force, he had calculated, he could get at most one hundred million.

"Two hundred million for her alone?" Lu Xiao asked, pointing at Yan Yun, his face a picture of shock.

"Then you can take her. I’ll give you six hundred million US dollars. My money doesn’t just blow in with the wind," Lu Xiao added.
