Chapter 325 - Godbrother (1/2)

”Hey, hey, hey, brother, put the guns down and let's talk,” Jackson said as he raised his arms.

Joel Gabriel Santos smirked and gestured for his men to put the guns down as he entered the room and closed the door.

”I'll give you one chance to provide a proper explanation. If I'm not satisfied, then I'll put a bullet through your head and drag your pretty wife downstairs to work for me. I'm sure our clients will like her,” Joel Gabriel Santos laughed.

His laugh echoed through Halia's ears. It was a laugh that Trojan was extremely familiar with, so it gave her a mix of emotions.

Halia furrowed her brows and tried to think. She didn't personally know Joel Gabriel Santos, but Trojan knew him well. If anyone was to help them out of this situation, Trojan was their only hope.

At that moment, one of Trojan's memories popped up in her head. ”It's in here, brother,” Joel Gabriel Santos said as he led Trojan into one of the rooms in the bas.e.m.e.nt. He then gestured for his men to wait outside, shut the door, and closed the curtains. Trojan looked around with curiosity. ”Where?” he asked.

Joel Gabriel Santos laughed and pointed to the ceiling.

Trojan looked up with confusion as he saw his own reflection looking back at him. The ceiling was covered by a mirror; a special feature available in a few of the rooms.

”Stop fooling around. Where did you store my money?” Trojan asked.

Halia gasped a little when she heard this. Did Trojan store his money in the bas.e.m.e.nt of this resort? How much money did he store?

Joel walked Trojan over to a painting and removed it from the wall. Behind it, was a pin pad. ”My birthday is on the 23rd, your birthday is on the 25th, if you type 2325 into the pin pad, you will be able to see your money,” Joel explained.

Trojan furrowed his brows, but walked over and pressed the pin pad as instructed. A moment later, the mirror above their heads suddenly turned see-through, exposing an empty cavity in the ceiling where stacks of money were being stored. Trojan's expression finally relaxed when he saw this money.

”No one will ever know your money is here,” Joel guaranteed. ”You can check on it whenever you want.”

”As for withdrawing the money, come this way...”

Halia snapped back to reality. That was all she needed. She stared calmly at the man in front of her, slowly stepped forward, and said, ”Trojan sent us.”

Jackson was a little surprised to hear this, but he trusted his wife, so he simply remained quiet and kept watch.

Joel's laugh disappeared as he looked the couple up and down. ”He never told me he was sending anyone,” he said suspiciously

”Trojan is my godbrother. He said that if anything happened to him, I should come here in secret to check that this place was functioning fine...and that his money was safe...” Halia said without batting an eyelid. ”It seems, your security isn't that great...”

As Halia spoke, she pulled out the golden key card she had stolen and flicked it back to the man from the bar. ”I'll be sure to report this back to my brother when he wakes up. He's going to be disappointed...”
