Chapter 160 Eat My Food and Spit It Back (Two in One)

Seeing that the robbers were still stubborn, the police continued to shout with a loud speaker.

"Listen, everyone inside. If you don't abide by our terms..."

Before he could finish his words, the negotiation expert who had just arrived sensed that something bad was about to happen, and quickly reached out to stop him and snatched the loudspeaker away.

Negotiate, negotiate.

Since the word "talk" is included, it means we should chat slowly.

There is no reason to threaten someone right away.

Simply applying high pressure will only further stimulate the robbers' tense nerves and cause them to behave irrationally.

Besides, even if it wasn’t a vicious robber, it would be a normal person.

When someone shouted, "If you don't come out, we will kill you."

I'm afraid he won't listen to me and will think about it for a long time.

“Hey, lady!”

Taking over the lead in the negotiation, the negotiation expert slowly took a few steps forward and said in the gentlest tone possible:
"My name is Holden, how can I help you?"

As a professional, Holden knows the key points of negotiation.

When people are in life and death situations, it is difficult to reason with them. What they really want is to be understood and recognized.

In the subsequent negotiations, Holden also grasped this point firmly, not only calming the anger of the robbers, but also reaching a preliminary negotiation agreement.

"They want five million dollars in unnumbered bills, and a helicopter for the getaway, with a full tank of gas."

Helicopters are fine, the police can provide them.

But when it comes to a ransom of five million, the negotiation experts have no say.

With just a few words, Holden temporarily calmed the robber, then walked back to his chief, told him the robber's conditions, and waited for Creek to make a decision.

Although it is said that Creek will make the final decision, it actually depends on Tommy's opinion.

After all, the incident happened at the Krusty Krab, so he must have to pay for it.

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

Countless eyes were looking at Tommy, and everyone was waiting for him to make a decision.

May Parker was so nervous that she bit her lip without realizing it.

If she had the final say, she would have immediately agreed to the robbers' conditions and rescued Peter at all costs.

But that's her personal opinion.

She cannot and has no right to impose it on others.

After all, five million is not a small sum of money.

You have to think about this no matter who you put it in.

Another thing is that Tommy and Peter don't know each other.

Forcing the other party to pay a large sum of money to save a stranger was a bit too much, even for herself.

Not only him, but Director Creek was also not optimistic about the negotiation action.

He didn't know what Tommy was thinking.

But if he were in Tommy's position, he would definitely not agree to the robbers' conditions. At least he would negotiate for a while to see if the price could be lowered.

However, what everyone present did not expect was that

Tommy nodded and agreed without even a moment's hesitation when faced with the robbers' huge request.

"Five million dollars, of course. I can ask someone to prepare it right now."

What else is there to think about?

For only five million dollars, you can get a superhero of Spider-Man's caliber.

This is money well spent!

It can be said to be the best deal he has ever made!
Not to mention one five million, even if it was two, three, or even ten five million, he would be happy to pay for it.

He also didn't think five million dollars was a lot.

For ordinary people, this may be an astronomical figure, which is money they cannot earn in their entire lifetime.

But for a rich man like him, it was just a drop in the bucket.

After all, the suit he was wearing alone was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Any jewelry given to a woman around you would cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A mere five million ransom is just a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, he doesn't have to pay for this money.

He got at least hundreds of millions of dollars from the Covens family, which was just enough to make the money.

This money can't be lost.

Once the robbers are caught, the huge ransom will become clean and return to his name.

It's like pouring money from the left hand to the right hand.

From this perspective, a ransom of five million is not high at all, and may even be too low.

Tommy wished that the robbers would be bolder and claim 100 million.

Of course, outsiders would not know what he was thinking.

Everyone was just shocked by his generosity.

They were willing to pay a huge ransom for a stranger.

Such behavior can't help but make people respect and admire it secretly.

May Parker was so excited that tears came to her eyes and she kept expressing her gratitude.

Tommy waved his hands, not meaning to be arrogant.

"What is this? It's all for the children."

With his statement, things became easier immediately.

In less than ten minutes, five million dollars was in the hands of the robbers.

Looking at the suitcase full of money in his hand, the robber named Mad Hatter felt a little regretful.

If he had known that the other party was so straightforward, he should have encouraged the boss to raise the price.

White Rabbit didn't think so.

She robbed not because she had no money, but because she liked it.

For her, the point of robbery is not the money, but the thrill.

Unfortunately, there is only one chance. Now that the money is in hand, what else is there to say? Just run away.

Using the hostages as cover, the three boarded the helicopter.

Bai Tu piloted the helicopter himself, and it quickly rose to a high altitude and fled into the distance.

After watching the helicopter leave, Director Creek waved his fist unwillingly and ordered his men:
"Hurry up and get our helicopters airborne to chase after those damn lunatics. We must not let them escape!"

"No need to bother."

Tommy acted calmly and said lightly.

"I have a solution."

"You mean?"

Creek didn't understand, but seeing Tommy so confident, he had some idea in his mind.

Since the real owner is not in a hurry, he must have thought of a countermeasure.

He was right.

Tommy is not the kind of person who will suffer any loss.

How could it be so easy to take his five million and then run away?
"I had someone install a locator in the suitcase. As long as we follow the signal on the locator, we can find the robbers' hiding place and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Creek listened and nodded in understanding.

He said, how could anyone be so relaxed after losing five million? It turns out he had already thought of a solution.

What he didn't know was that Tommy's original method was much more cruel than this.

He originally planned to use a radio-controlled bomb in the suitcase, but considering the five million ransom, he chose another safer method.

It is true that he is rich, but his money did not come from the wind.

He shot them all back one by one.

It’s better to be frugal.

While the two were chatting here, the police had already rescued Peter.

Holding Peter who survived the disaster, May Parker's eyes were filled with tears and she was filled with fear.

She almost lost her nephew.

"Oh, Peter, my poor little Peter."

May Parker hugged Peter tightly, very emotional.

Peter, however, was not used to it.

The gazes of so many adults around him made him feel a little embarrassed. His face turned slightly red and he spoke awkwardly.

"Aunt Mei, why are you crying? We are having a great time today!"

From Peter's perspective, today was indeed a happy day.

First, I ate the crab roe burger set meal that I had always wanted, and then I played games with the three staff members.

It's a happy thing, why should we cry?
Maybe it was because of his young age, or perhaps it was because of the misleading disguise of the robbers, young Peter was completely unaware of the danger just now, and just thought that an adult was playing a game of tag with him.

Ignorance is fearless, that's it.

Listening to Peter's childish talk, the police around him smiled knowingly.

May Parker's mood also improved a lot. She reached out to wipe the tears from her face, then stood up, took Peter's little hand, and walked to Tommy.

"Mr. Vercetti, thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, I really don't know what I would do."

Mei was very grateful to Tommy for his help.

If the other party had not generously paid the ransom, who knows whether the crazy robber would have chosen to kill the hostage.

Of course, she is a good person and did not forget to thank Chief Creek who was standing next to her.

Noticing the approach of the camera, Chief Creek straightened his head and chest, sucked in his stomach as much as possible, and said with a righteous attitude:
"It's nothing. This is what we should do. Protecting the personal safety of every citizen is our unshirkable duty as a police officer!"

It’s true, he doesn’t look that good, but he speaks with great authority, and he really does look like a crime-fighter.

Originally, the reporter wanted to interview Tommy and ask him what kind of mentality made him pay the ransom.

But Tommy didn't bother to be on camera.

Being robbed is not a glorious thing, and there is no need to make it known to everyone.

So he simply turned down his own interview and gave all the camera time to Creek, letting that guy steal the show.

He walked to an empty corner and started chatting with May Parker.

Seeing May Parker opening her mouth to say something, he immediately stopped her and spoke first:
“There’s no need to thank you. If you ask me, I should blame myself for this. My restaurant didn’t have adequate security, so those robbers got in.

Otherwise, none of this would have happened.”

"Don't say that, Mr. Vercetti. No one wants this to happen."

Tommy could say that, but May Parker couldn't think that way.

She is not like those old fairies who turn the tables after being rescued.

She would never do such a shameful thing in her life.

"By the way, you guys take this."

As if he had thought of something, Tommy took out a small card from his pocket and stuffed it into May's hand despite her refusal.

"This is the Krusty Krab's supreme VIP membership card. As long as you have this card, you will enjoy a permanent 10% discount, and there will be many special gifts every month. This is my way of expressing my apology."

Tommy didn't give the money directly.

That would really improve May and Peter's lives for the best.

But he believed that the other party would not accept it.

Instead of giving charity with pity, it is better to build good relationships first.

There is plenty of time to take your time with the rest of the things.

Calling his driver, he asked Franklin to drive his black Mercedes to take the frightened May and Peter home.

Now that Peter's business was dealt with, it was the turn of the robbers.

……

In a villa manor.

In mid-air, the helicopter slowly landed on the ground.

Then, three strange-looking guys came down.

As soon as he got off the plane, the Mad Hatter fainted.

In the previous gunfight, he was shot in the stomach and was bleeding profusely.

It's a miracle that he managed to hold on until now before fainting.

The chipmunk was doing better, but the wound on his arm was still troublesome, so he continued to receive treatment from the doctor.

Seeing his two men in such an embarrassing state, Bai Tu cried out in his heart that he was unlucky.

She just wanted to satisfy her craving for robbery, but who would have thought so many things would happen.

Fortunately, she was smart enough to take a hostage in time, otherwise she would definitely be finished.

At the very least, you will go to jail, and at worst, you may lose your life.

Calling his personal doctor, White Rabbit sent his two men for treatment.

She went to the bathroom and decided to take a good bath to wash away the bad luck in her body.

While waiting for the bathtub to fill, she took off her makeup in front of the bathroom mirror and washed off all the white paint on her face.

As she moved, a beautiful face soon appeared in the mirror.

I have to say, White Rabbit looks pretty good.

Otherwise, there is no way she could marry a billionaire.

Of course, this was not what she really wanted.

Her real name is Lorena Dodson. She was born into a very wealthy family. She had no worries about food and clothing since childhood and grew up in a safe and secure environment.

For some purpose, her parents took good care of her and raised her into a well-educated and well-mannered daughter of a wealthy family.

When she came of age, her parents married her to a multi-millionaire under the pretext of alliance marriage.

Lorena was reluctant at first, especially after she heard some rumors that her so-called husband was just an old man who was about to die.

But her parents deceived her, saying that the other party was elegant and handsome, and the rumors from the outside world were just attacks from bored people.

It was because of this that Lorena reluctantly agreed to the wedding.

But when she saw the groom in the church, she immediately realized that she had been deceived.

Any handsome and elegant men?
What appeared before her was just an old man who needed someone to support him when walking.

What makes Lorena sad is that the reason her parents married her to this elderly billionaire was simply because he gave her a two million business as a betrothal gift.

More importantly, her family is very wealthy and she doesn't need the two million dollars at all.

It is also because of this that Lorena is full of resentment towards her parents and doesn't care about her so-called husband at all.

Fortunately, this unhappy marriage did not last long.

On the morning of the day after her wedding night, her husband died for some reason.

According to police investigation, the billionaire died of illness.

But what exactly is the reason, only Lorena, the person involved, and the billionaire himself know it best.

With her long legs, Lolina walked to the bathtub filled with water, slowly lay down, and hid her beautiful body under the water.

A warm feeling immediately enveloped her.

Just at this time, a large number of soldiers armed with guns and bullets rushed here.

Tommy has arrived with the Vercetti Gang.

It's not that easy to take the money and run away.
We must make the other party pay back a hundredfold!
