That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 261

Chapter 261 When they witnessed their master being assaulted, Silas’ bodyguards hurriedly rushed forward and wanted to surround Nicholas, but were kicked over by the bodyguards from the Sawyer Family. All of a sudden, the situation was reversed where the men working for the Reinharts were either laying on the floor or kneeling as they cried out in pain. With a face as solemn as the grim reaper, Nicholas paced to Silas. “Where’s Henry Tompkins?” Even if Silas was an idiot, he could now tell that Tessa didn’t have a fall out with Nicholas. Furthermore, Nicholas even came over specially to help her. Threatening Tessa was a child’s play to him, but in front of Nicholas, he didn’t dare to throw his weight around as he did not dare say a word. To Silas, Nicholas was simply too terrifying and he wouldn’t mind giving up on the USB flash drive if it meant that his life could be saved. Even if his company went bust, so be it.

However, it was clear that Nicholas didn’t want him to have an easy way out. When Silas didn’t answer him, he peered at him from above. “Where is he?” Whether it was from the pain or from the fright, Silas couldn’t be sure, but his back was instantly soaked in perspiration. His face was also covered in a layer of cold sweat as he had been fished out of the waters. Striking back would only mean his own death, and he lost all guts as he hurriedly ordered his injured bodyguard, “T-Take that brat, no. Bring Mr. Tompkins out. Quickly.” After receiving the order, the bodyguard quickly scrambled off to release Henry. Besides Silas, all the other bodyguards were motionless and remained as quiet as mannequins. None of them even dared to help Silas to his feet either while the noisy Amber didn’t dare to make a scene. Soon, that bodyguard returned from the dark room with Henry while shouting, “We’re back. I’ve brought him here!” At the sight of Henry, Silas felt spiteful and relieved at the same time; spiteful because after going

through so much hassle, the hostage he had finally abducted was released just like that. At most, he had given that brat Timothy a beating, but he also had a taste of his own medicine because that earlier kick from Nicholas had almost sent him on his way. However, Silas was relieved that he didn’t take it out on Henry after bringing him back; otherwise, he reckoned that his ending would be even worse than now. After his release, Henry was still a little lost, thinking that Timothy had really handed over the software in exchange for his safe release. Hence, when he saw Timothy, he yelled, “Tim, don’t give it to him! I’m fine!” Seeing that Henry didn’t sustain any more injuries and was merely locked away without being deeply hurt, Timothy breathed a sigh of relief. “I didn’t give it to him. Don’t worry,” he assured with a chuckle. It was only then that Henry took a good look around and saw an expressionless Nicholas, after which he whispered to Timothy in surprise, “Isn’t President Sawyer… Why is he here?” “We have misunderstood him. He’s innocent and I could only save you without a glitch because he came to help us out this time. Or else, I think I’ll really need to use the USB flash drive in exchange for your life,” Timothy said, grinning. Still shocked, Henry said, “Okay, that’s good. That’s our blood and sweat, and we can’t give it away no matter what, not even if it’s in exchange for me.” Then, he turned to Nicholas. “Thanks for your help, President Sawyer.” In reply, Nicholas nodded slightly in acknowledgement. “P-President Sawyer, I have already handed him over and didn’t harm him further. Will you let me go?” Silas asked, looking at him pleadingly. Henry spat and looked at Silas, who was still on the floor, with contempt. “You have no shame at all. Earlier, you were not like this when you came to our company to rob. us. Where’s your swagger from before?” “You!” Humiliated publicly, Silas was a little embarrassed and wanted to curse him, but when he spun his head and saw Nicholas’ face, he suddenly lost his voice. For some unknown reason, he felt that it would be even more shameful if he started cursing in front ofContent rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Nicholas. This was the attitude of a true elite; even without cursing, he was able to instill fear by just standing. Ignoring what Silas was thinking in his head, Timothy stepped forward. “I’m warning you for the last time. Don’t disturb our lives again.”
