Chapter 172 Daniel Has to Die

Christopher nodded in confirmation, "Yes, that's the guy!"

"Then reach out to him now! I need that Imperial Green Jade snatched back from that country bumpkin, and while you're at it, make sure that bumpkin gets taken out. As for Jessica, I don't need him for that. Once the country boy is gone, I'll handle Jessica myself!"

"Andrew, although I know Ryan, and he's a good contact, asking him to take someone out comes with a hefty price, and not even I can waive that!"

Andrew's brow creased, "How much does he want?"

Christopher held up a single finger, "One hundred million!"

One hundred million?

The figure sent a chill down Andrew's spine, snapping him back to reality.

"Great Stephens, thanks to that Isaac you brought in, I've already lost billions! Now, you've got this Ryan, and he wants one hundred million? I've realized that you're treating me like a fool, Stephens. Do you really think I'm that stupid to fall for your tricks again?"

The mention of money made Andrew logical again, and he flatly rejected Christopher's proposal. "No! You're so wrong, Andrew! I honestly had no idea Isaac would pull something like that! But you can trust me on this, Ryan is reliable. Please, trust me just one more time. Ryan is not a businessman like Isaac; he doesn't play those kinds of games, and he definitely won't jack up the price last minute. One hundred million is actually a bargain for him to take out that country boy. And if that's too much for you, Andrew, feel free to replace someone else! That Daniel isn't just any country bumpkin. You and I both know that not even Justin from the Black Panther Club could handle him."

Andrew frowned at Christopher's reminder.

He was well aware that Justin had taken a beating from Daniel and that Daniel had laid out the entire Black Panther Club. He also found out that even the chairman of the New York Martial United held Daniel in high regard because the "country bumpkin" had saved his life.

Initially, Andrew saw Daniel as just a country boy, merely Jessica's assistant, someone he could easily get rid of. But now, he felt that something was off. This so-called country boy seemed to be good at

everything. Moreover, the way Jessica treated Daniel tonight was way beyond the normal rapport between a boss and an assistant. It was incredibly unusual!

The more he thought about it, the more Andrew felt that there was more to Jessica and Daniel's relationship than met the eye. They probably had a deeper connection.

This thought brought a fierce glint to Andrew's eyes.

Daniel had to die. Tonight!

Having made up his mind, Andrew turned to Christopher and said, "One hundred million, okay, but he has to act first! Tell Ryan to take out that country boy. As soon as the boy's dead, I'll wire him the money immediately!"

"But Andrew, Ryan always gets paid before doing a job!"

"One hundred million for one person is not a low price! If Ryan isn't willing to act first and get paid later, then replace someone who is!"

"Okay, Andrew, you can relax; I'll talk to Ryan right away. I've saved his life before, and I believe he'll

agree. I'll make sure he takes out the country boy first, then gets paid."
