Chapter 2.1 (2/2)

<I don’t think this is worth a meal compared to the $10 million you illegally embezzled, Michael Dylan. Thank you for donating a lot of money for those in need. In this life, I will never forget your grace. I think you’re really cool

PS. Ah! Motor Bank is quite vulnerable, so I recommend you transfer your bank account to Switzerland. And even if you’re a CFO of Barbarian Cooperation, you should save some face. You have $10 million. Next time, I’d like a bigger bill.>

Michael dropped the receiver he was holding. Dark brown eyes quivered wildly. The excitement which had made his whole body taut vanished instantly and was now replaced by extreme anxiety. No one knew that he had his hands on that money. At least, no one in this ship knew.

Unable to contain his rage, he finally pitched the phone away in front of him. The mermaid-shaped object shattered and its fragments scattered on the floor.

He was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Yeah…that was half a million dollars at the very least. Besides, wasn’t it the money he’d kept aside to spend on his trip?

If you could lose $500,000 and save $10 million, that wasn’t much of a big loss. He tried to control his rising wrath through rationalisation. However, the fact that he was beaten by a little bitch didn’t easily sink in and made him lose his mind.

Michael clenched his fist to the point where his knuckles turned white. He gritted his teeth, and said, “I’ll make sure that bitch pays for taking away my money at any cost. Damn it!”

Back in the room, Sei took off her wig and threw it into the trash can. Then she moved her stiff neck from side to side, and lay down on the bed.

It had been quite a fantastic day as her pockets were filled to the brim. ‘How big are the customers this season?!’ All she had done till now were just basics and yet a lot of people had fallen for it.

She rolled around on the bed, laughing out loud. Her every movement made a bunch of dollar bills slip out of her pockets. With this amount of money, she could comfortably enjoy the rest of her schedule.

After bouncing and rolling a little on the bed, she took off her uniform and her contact lenses. After smashing the name tag of Diana Olsen into pieces, she placed it under a candle. Under the heat of the candle, it slowly lost its shape and melted away.

Wearing a modest gown, she tied her hair up and unfolded the working table. Then she put up the articles that she ‘worked hard’ on for two days on the velvet fabric.

From diamond set watches to all kinds of expensive jewellery, everything was put up on the table. Wearing a loupe, Sei crouched down and curled up her body in a position of praying with her hands together.

“I’m sorry, guys. I don’t want to do this, but what can I do? Your ransom is too high.”

She shook her head and turned to her desk. Then she took out the tools she had hidden there. The mischievous look on her face was instantly replaced by a serious one. She dismantled the superalloy-finished watch to separate the diamonds, rose gold and pure gold; then broke the diamond necklaces of at least five carats or more to their gemstone states.

Sei gave a deep sigh. No matter how wasteful and time consuming this whole procedure was, she couldn’t take them out in their original state. Some of the people whom she had stolen from would have already reported the theft so she disassembled and reassembled them without any hesitation.

After finishing the work, she wiped away the beads of sweat trickling down from her forehead to the chin. The hands that were moving delicately stopped and the corners of her mouth lifted up in a proud smile.

“Finally, the end!”
