Chapter 485 - DO NOT RESIST (2/2)

”I do have it, but you should understand that the cost is not low.” The boss smiled hypocritically. ”You know it is not a matter of money only. Finding the stuff is challenging because it is monopolised by the aristocrats.”

Kaito's cold eyes looked penetratingly at the ugly face. He knew that the man was trying to take advantage of his lack of knowledge to bring up the price. He respected the efforts, but he did not have time to play.

”State your price. And do not try to cheat me. I have already found how much the Johnson, Muller, Suleiman and Chen families spent on their batches. I am also aware that your commodity has impurities, so do not try to inflate the price based on the quality.” Kaito said without giving any face.

The boss felt cold and a little afraid. He seemed to have underestimated this Kaito. He thought that the man was unfamiliar with Martial Island. Who would have known that he had already checked up on those lower-middle families?

Moreover, those families now had injured and even one dead member due to the rare material. Why was Kaito still willing to spend money on it? The question caused the boss to feel a bit of a chill. He did not dare to think about the implications.

About thirty minutes later, Kaito walked out of the Infernal Casino with a satisfied smile on his face.

Unfortunately, the smile did not last for long because he found himself face to face with a masked man as he reached his car. He felt a sense of déjà vu as he faced the figure wearing black from head to toe. Parking lots were his unlucky spots.

The strange man did not attack him. Instead, he opened the back of a large black van and gestured for Kaito to enter. Kaito almost laughed in anger. He did not know the thoughts of his would-be kidnapper. Why would he enter a nondescript black van willingly?

”Do not resist. You are being rescued.” The man spoke up, but the mask distorted his voice.

”What?” Kaito's eyes widened a little.

He was not gullible, but the words caught his attention. Currently, he was still a prisoner on Martial Island. He did not know the identity of the man before him or if there was an actual intention of rescue. However, anything that got him away from Martial Island was better.

Still, he was a little cautious.

”I said you are being rescued.” The man spoke louder. ”Your friend or family probably paid a high price to set you free. Do not dilly dally.”

Kaito shrugged. ”Ok.”

”Really?” The strange man was surprised that his pitch was successful.

He did not plan on using force because he was not sure he could defeat Kaito. But he had prepared a long speech to convince him to enter the van.

”Isn't this what you wanted?” Kaito was amused.

The man cleared his throat with embarrassment, but he did not respond. He watched Kaito entering the van before closing the door. He sighed in relief as he locked the door. He did not want to take chances of the mission failing.
