Chapter 18

Joshua frowned in pain when the mobile phone with the loudspeaker turned on was pushed to his lips——he glanced at the tall, thin man who shrugged perfunctorily to express his embarrassment, pursed his lips, and lowered his head to avoid those dozen pairs of excited eyes , coughed and said cautiously, "Draco..."

The imagined storm did not blow, the breath on the other end of the phone paused slightly, Joshua obviously heard the other party seem to breathe a sigh of relief, and then a gentle voice sounded—"Are you hurt?"

Joshua opened his mouth nah, "No, I'm fine." He quickly glanced at the people standing together in twos and threes, and said cryptically, "Nothing happened for now, you..."

"Okay." The words that hadn't been spoken were roughly interrupted, and the mobile phone was taken away. The tall and thin man glanced at Joshua and then turned around to look around the well-dressed people, gradually forming a plan in his heart—— —"We want to discuss a business with you." The tall and thin man raised his hand, pointed his gun at Joshua, and said in a grim voice, "Take money for your friend, or I will let him die here .”

……

Fuck, he had to pay Draco another IOU.

The corner of Joshua's mouth twitched, squinting his eyes and staring at the floor tiles, his determination to find a chance to beat this man up was even more determined.

"Bank account." Sure enough, Draco said without hesitation, "How much do you want?"

"1000."

Startled by Draco's straightforwardness, the lanky man and the leader exchanged glances, hesitantly said a number that he thought was very large.

1000……

For a guy like Joshua who has a 'clear breeze in his sleeves', that is really a lot of pain.

Joshua, who was squatting on the side, was suffering from angina and was planning to pay IOUs for several years. He only felt that his eyes were dark, and his future was not bright at all.And Draco on the other end of the phone was silent for a while - he had to create a sense of hesitation in this group of people, otherwise they were likely to push their noses, such as raising the price or hurting Joshua.

Not nervous at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, Joshua rolled his eyes and counted the days, took a deep breath and looked up at the two big men surrounded by the phone—— It can be seen that the leader's eyes are full of anxiety - he is afraid, afraid that the price raised is too high, and no one will be able to take it out.

This courage is too small.

Joshua curled his lips in disdain. A year ago, his net worth was still 5000 million, but when he came to New York, it directly shrunk by four-fifths.

These ignorant guys.

"it is good."

After wheezing his appetite, Draco calmed down and emphasized heavily—"But I must ensure his safety. I will give you half of the money first, and you must let him out. I will give it to you when I see his figure." The other half."

"make a deal."

The leader was afraid that Draco would repent, so he responded quickly.

"I'll give you a second call in 10 minutes. If," Draco's voice sank, and the anger that had been suppressed with difficulty began to recover, "if he suffers any harm, you will never get a second payment." Money." He raised his tone and asked back, "I don't think you will have trouble with money, will you?"

"Of course." The leader swallowed and laughed, "As long as you keep your word, we will never hurt him."

The phone was hung up quickly, and Joshua was invited to sit aside by the murderers-feeling like a god of wealth.Joshua glanced at the water glass in his palm, and looked up at the tall and thin man directing his subordinates to turn over the wallets of a group of people one by one.

"You." Murderer No. [-], who had lost his weapon, gestured at the chubby man with a dagger, stretched out his legs and kicked the suitcase beside him, "Open your suitcase."

"Please be careful!" The chubby man was startled, and said reflexively, raising his hands to his ears.

The assailant who felt the collision had his eyes widened, and the gleaming dagger was aimed at his neck. The man immediately regretted what he had just said, and sweat broke out on his forehead again.He trembled at the corners of his lips, stammered good words, wiped his face under the constant urging of the murderers, squatted down to open the suitcase——

"bread?"

Murderer No. [-] couldn't believe it and rummaged through the box—there was nothing but bread exuding the aroma of malt.He raised his head, looked at him like a fool, and shouted, "You came to the bank with bread!? Are you a fool?"

"I want to open a bakery." The chubby man swallowed, and tidied up the messy bread with distress. "The bread I make is delicious."

Murderer No. [-] looked at him for a long time with mentally handicapped eyes, then stretched out his hand out of nowhere, picked up one in doubt and took a bite——

"Hey, boss." He stood up in surprise, holding a piece of bread with a huge gap in his hand, "Would you like some dinner?"

……

Are you here for a picnic?

Joshua watched speechlessly as a group of big men with growling bellies surrounded the chubby man in a tight circle, dividing up the not so much bread with all their might.Then the leader, who was slightly full, looked at the man up and down, and waved his hand—"Go back and squat down."

The man who got the release order stared in surprise, turned around and quickly squatted into the crowd at a super flexible speed.

"You, come out." The tall and thin man took a sip of water and hiccupped, his eyes with blue and black eye circles turned left and right, and finally landed on Peter. He looked very arrogant with his neck up, and said arrogantly, "Stand over here"

The original chubby man's eyes widened in shock, he looked at the leader who let him go, and then at Peter, who was the same age as a child in his eyes, pouted his buttocks struggling - he couldn't let a The child takes the risk for himself.

Peter, whose name was called, heaved a sigh of relief—the hands on his knees were also released—Peter happily opened the corners of his mouth and pressed it down quickly. He pretended to be terrified, just now When he was about to stand up, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure beside him standing up first, and that person stood calmly on the spot and asked steadily, "Are you calling me?"

What the hell is he doing?

The tall and thin man frowned, clicked his tongue, and then said viciously, "Forget it, it's you, come here."

Peter's eyes widened, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he was about to shout in the next second, but the man shook his head at him—his eyes were beautiful, and there was a convincing power in them.

A dazed mind missed the reaction time.The tall and thin man pushed the freckled man against the wall, turned around and glanced at Joshua who was sitting quietly on the side—he paused as if thinking of something, and then swipe back and forth on Joshua’s phone for a while— — He didn’t find what he was looking for, frowned and handed over the phone and said, “Your money.” He looked at the puzzled Joshua and explained, “Your friend is so rich, you should be good. "

Joshua looked up at him with a complex expression - the tall and thin man seemed to see a trace of 'poverty' on his face, and before he could recall what it meant, a black wallet was handed to his eyes.

Joshua swallowed his anger and said, "Look for yourself."

……

"How did you become friends with him?" The lanky man closed his wallet - he pulled out the ten dollars and held them between his fingers.He shook his hands in disbelief—the banknotes made a rattling sound, he glanced at him in shame, turned his face away, and asked Joshua in disbelief.

"A rich man has a family of poor relatives, not to mention that we are just friends." Joshua coughed, and forced his neck to save face.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence at first glance, but when it comes to Draco's attitude of spending a lot of money... A trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, the tall and thin man squatted down, and looked at Joshua carefully, "Can I do nothing for you?" Spending 1000 million in vain without hesitation, this is not like an ordinary friend."

What's the matter, do you still work part-time as a love investigator?

Joshua turned his gaze away and snorted inwardly—then you haven't seen the headmaster of Hogwarts and his old lover.A hundred-year-old ancestral house is given away, and the R18 of these two people in Knockturn Alley can be packaged and sold, but they are stubborn, and now they still insist that the two are pure friendship.

And I just spent Draco's money and haven't got the key to their vault, so I'm no ordinary friend.

Joshua pursed his lips, the emotions in his eyes were ever-changing and extremely agile, and he looked very aura and beautiful.

The eyes of the murderers followed the tall and thin man's gaze to that handsome face, and their expressions gradually became strange.

Joshua's facial features are [-]% similar to his grandfather - in the gossip of the older generation, that Mr. Cen is the real "blue-faced disaster" who attracted ladies from all over the world to fight for him - [-]% of his inheritance It is self-evident how good Joshua is, and as he grows older and experiences more things, his childish temperament fades away and he becomes more attractive.If it wasn't for his stature, the girls at Hogwarts should like him more——Joshua rubbed his head angrily, thinking that the milk he drank every day was really in vain.

But in fact, whether girls in Hogwarts dare to like him has nothing to do with his height.

The know-it-all lady had told Joshua about this, but the latter apparently forgot all about it.

Fortunately, this embarrassing question was only asked casually by the thin and tall man during the waiting time, and when Draco's second call came, he also looked away from his inquiring eyes.

"Now, it's time for you to let him out." Draco said in a low voice.He curled his fingers and tapped on the table, his eyes fixed on the electronic screen, "I want to see him arrive safely on the TV."

"Oh~ no, you have to give us the balance first." The tall and thin man noticed that his subordinate made a gesture to him - it meant that the money had arrived.He walked over, looked at the six zeros with satisfaction, and transferred the money to another overseas account with a flick of his finger.Humming a little tune, he turned his head and glanced at Joshua who was sitting upright, "Otherwise I won't let him go."

"You've already spent 500 million for him, don't you mind transferring the remaining 500 million?" The tall and thin man looked at the words 'remittance successful' with satisfaction, a stone in his heart fell to the ground, and his attitude changed. It seems to be more than capable.He dragged one side of the chair and sat down with his legs crossed, and said in a long and funny tone, "Or, I stripped his clothes and took a few photos, and sold one to you for 50?"

...You fucking want to shoot me? ? ?

...Where did you learn how to do this? ?

Joshua was almost overwhelmed by the murderer's coquettish manipulation.He widened his eyes and looked at the tall and thin man who was staring at him obscenely, then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath—be calm, be calm, Joshua, don't go crazy, never go crazy.

Of course, Peter on the side heard the murderer's plan behind him. He glanced at his friend worriedly, thinking of a solution quickly, and moved back slightly while looking around.

The murderer's words obviously touched Draco's bottom line - oh no, the second they detained Joshua, they had already stepped on this Slytherin's minefield.

There seemed to be thunder hidden in the silver-gray eyes, Draco's face was gloomy, and the storm on his face almost frightened the newbies sitting in front of him into tears.This group of guys who can make a hole in a person's head without hesitation huddled together tremblingly, looking at the legendary and difficult instructor in front of him-his expression was terrifying, as if he was about to attack at any time. It's like going out with a knife to kill people.The young man sitting in the main seat noticed that something was wrong with Draco, raised his eyes, and raised his eyebrows at him suspiciously.

Draco gave them a cold look, then turned his face to the old acquaintance who showed concern and shook his head slightly.He stood up, and every step he took was like detonating a landmine, which made people feel scared when looking at his back—he walked outside the meeting room door, gathered all his emotions into a box and whispered, "It seems that you I don’t want the 500 million.”

"Wow," said the thin tall man in a flirtatious tone, "how about we talk about whether you still want your little lover's life?" His disgusting cloudy eyes projected on Joshua's face, raising his tone He exaggeratedly praised, "It's really a nice little face, isn't it. I don't know if it is as smooth as an egg to the touch."

What The Fuck!

Joshua's eyes widened in shock like a husky, and he stared blindly with the expression of "what the hell are you talking about?" Make the talking thin and tall.Mother Gan Lin!If he hadn't been concerned about revealing his identity and the safety of ordinary people, he would have just slapped the tall, thin man's head into the floor tiles as a humanoid potted plant.

Draco sneered, his face turned completely cold - "You won't."

The tall and thin man glanced at Joshua in surprise, not understanding where this '1000 million' inexplicable confidence came from, he just hummed in a pretentious way, "Really? Why don't you try..."

"There's nothing in this world that's completely unsearchable." Draco took a deep breath, he knew Joshua couldn't possibly be hurt—damn it!He shouldn't have left him!Slytherin tried his best to maintain his dignity without hammering the wall or overturning any acts of venting his anger. He restrained himself and said slowly, "We don't care about what happened on American soil, even if you took all the hostages today Kill them all..." He paused, "I won't bother you either. But if you hurt him..."

Half a second later, the gloomy tone resounded in front of everyone again, like a notice from the god of death, and the coldness of the words made everyone's hair stand on end-"You always have parents, lovers, children, or raised several Year cats and dogs..."

Everyone's faces changed.

"I promised you 1000 million, because I don't want to cause trouble, as long as you send him out safely. But," Draco smiled coldly, "If you hurt him, I will let him Everyone, as long as they are related to you..." Suddenly, with a scary meaning, Draco smiled lowly, "This is not a good deal, I think you are so smart, Definitely not a choice."

The thin and tall man's face became very ugly, and the bald leader desperately fanned his nose and rushed up to kick Joshua.

Joshua, who used his skills to avoid it, was lying on the ground with his hands on his chest in a pretentious manner—fuck, Draco, can't you say something nice?And it's obvious that you big guys started the incident, but Draco just counterattacked and you still have the face to hit someone?

Damn, you should be hung up and beaten.

"Now," Draco narrowed his eyes, frantically thinking about the follow-up revenge plan in his mind, and said in an irresistible tone, "let him come out."

Gritting his teeth, the tall and thin man hung up the phone, staring at Joshua with unwilling eyes, wishing he could just pin him to the ground.The leader who was panting like a cow turned around a few times, paused, and said fiercely to the tall and thin man, "Let me go!"

The subordinates looked at each other for a while, and then two guys who reacted roughly picked up Joshua on the ground and pushed him to the gate.Joshua covered his stomach and looked back at Peter with a pale face, then nodded to him vaguely.

The door, which had been closed for two hours, was opened, and the sound of sirens rang through the night sky. Joshua turned his face 'weakly', the glare of the light hit his face, he walked out slowly after adapting to the light for a while.

A small team of police/policemen quickly ran over to greet them, and one of the blonde girls looked familiar. Joshua was supported by several hands and sat aside, stared at her carefully for a while, and shouted hesitantly—"Jennifer Miss?"

JJ's eyes widened in surprise, and he shouted in surprise, "Joshua?"

The BAU team, who had met a few times, happened to be working on a college case in New York.After the incident at the bank, as experts who understand human psychology, they were pulled to the rescue, in order to impress the kidnappers and save the hostages.

"What's the situation inside?" BAU people surrounded and asked Joshua, who was tightly wrapped up.

"A mob." Holding the cup, Joshua glanced at the police officer who was standing aside with a notebook to record. He didn't have the slightest weakness before, and said with a relaxed expression, "The leader is a man named Vidok Olympia , one of them is called Weihan Stowe, who is similar to a military division."

"How do you know?" the elder Rossi raised an eyebrow and asked back.

Joshua shrugged his shoulders and pointed to his ears, "I can hear you better." He put down his hands and continued, "There are 63 hostages inside, and the security guards are visually dead. Those people are currently thinking about escaping. Let them go first, save them and then talk about it.”

"You're right." JJ nodded and said without hesitation, "This is our first plan."

The New York Police Department did not agree to remove the defense of the back door at first, but under the pressure of Hotchner, the soft-eared chief had issued an order to retreat five minutes ago.This may appease the gangsters to a certain extent.

"They're letting you out with news?" Rhett watched Joshua—the young man seemed oddly unafraid.he asked, frowning.

A trace of heartache flashed across Joshua's face, he clutched his chest and said breathlessly, "I... my friends gave them 1000 million."

What kind of friend can give 1000 million without blinking an eyelid?

Everyone in BAU looked at each other in blank dismay - trouble, bring me a friend like this.

"Is that Malfoy?" JJ raised his eyebrows with an 'ah', nodded suddenly and turned around and asked.

Joshua covered his face, silence meant everything.

There was a look of 'really so' on JJ's face, but the speed was so fast that no one else saw it.

"This is a bit bad." Morgan analyzed the eyes of the team members above. "The matter of Joshua may open up new ideas for them. These gangsters are likely to use the same method to take the hostages who handed over the money inside." Let them out first, and then leave those ordinary hostages behind."

"Are you sending money from the bank?" Rossi received a reply, turned around and gestured to the police officer, and said optimistically, "At least we can trace their bank accounts first, and intercept the funds without anyone noticing."

This is your business.

Joshua pursed his lips and looked around, "Excuse me, can I borrow my phone?"

"I have to call the guy who paid the 1000 million ransom for me to report his safety, oh, and coax him along the way."

"By the way, in your place, it should be illegal to buy and sell FBI tracking anklets privately, right?"

"If someone buys this, can I call the police and arrest him?"
