Drake's hands shook slightly. During his time in Centrolis, he'd heard about the Hamertons and Thompsons. The
Thompsons not only controlled the entertainment industry but also had ties to the underworld.
"Heh..." Drake chuckled dryly. "This baby might be small, but the family background is impressive. What a stroke of
luck to be born into such a family!"
Bianca was too busy admiring her newly painted nails to pay him any attention.
Drake asked, revealing his yellowed teeth, "Ms. Bianca, why are you showing me this photo?"
"Find a way to acquire this child for me."
"What?" Drake almost dropped to the ground in shock.
"What's the matter?" Bianca turned to him, a mocking glint flashing in her eyes. "From what I know, your village is
known for human trafficking. Everyone there is skilled at abducting children and women. Even your wife was
trafficked there, right? Kidnapping a child should be easy for you, shouldn't it?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You..." Drake was at a loss for words—his smile froze on his face. "Well, Ms. Bianca, you're oversimplifying things.
While it's true there are many abducted women and children in our village, there are dedicated human traffickers
for that sort of thing. It's not something I'd do!"
Bianca looked at him solemnly. "Drake Dickinson, do you enjoy living here?"
"It's comfortable..."
"If you want to continue living comfortably, you'll have to help me with something as you promised before."
"But, Ms. Bianca—"
"Stealing this child won't be difficult," Bianca sneered, patting his shoulder. "The child is eight months old now,
already turning over and crawling. The Hamertons value education, so this child has already started attending
specialized early education classes."
Drake didn't understand what early education meant and felt lost in the conversation.
"I've already bribed two Hamerton bodyguards." Bianca continued, gazing into his eyes. "When the time comes, you
just need to cooperate with them and kidnap the child. I'll give you a substantial amount of money!"
At the mention of money, Drake's eyes sparkled.
"How much... How much money is it? Enough to build a new house in our village?"
Bianca scoffed, her expression full of mockery. "Certainly! Enough to buy the entire village. Even your mayor would
have to bow down to you!"
A loud ringing filled Drake's ears, and he felt excited.
The mayor owned pigs and sheep, making him the wealthiest person in the village. If even he had to bow down to
Drake, the latter could have his way in the entire mountainous region!
"Alright, I'll do it!" Filled with enthusiasm, Drake rolled up his sleeves and closely examined the photo. "T-This... is a
boy, right?"
Bianca gave him a doubtful look. "It's a girl."
"A girl?!" Drake was taken aback and slumped his head, appearing disheartened. "What's the point of stealing a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgirl? They're not worth much!"
"What did you just say?"
"I mean, Ms. Bianca!" Drake earnestly attempted to educate Bianca. "Girls aren't as valuable. Let's not take her! If
you want to steal a child, I'll get you a boy! Great value, guaranteed!"
"You..." Bianca stared at him, her eyes wide. She felt like she was conversing with a lunatic.
Drake spoke with fervor, spittle flying. "Ms. Bianca, we should aim for bigger opportunities! I've observed over the
past few days, and there are plenty of baby boys around! Heck, even in this hotel, there's a couple with twin baby
boys, and I—"
"Drake Dickinson!" Bianca erupted in fury, causing Drake to turn pale.
"You!" Bianca ground her teeth, enunciating each word. "Are you insane?"
"Ms. Bianca, what are you saying?" Drake appeared innocent. "I'm helping you! Baby boys are more valuable, you
know! This girl is a loss. I won't take her! I may not know much of this world, but I have a clear head and won't
engage in a losing trade!"
