From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 99

Leonard sat down opposite the man and lit a cigarette.

He signaled Rex to loosen the traitor’s ropes.

The man moved his numb legs and feet, then just glanced at Leonard with the side of his eyes, looking like nothing could make him talk.

This man was clearly a cutthroat. Otherwise, Jaguar would have made him talk long ago.

“Do you

smoke?”

Leonard took a puff of the cigarette and looked at the man.

Then, he threw the cigarettes and lighters on the square table in the middle.

The man sneered, “A different strategy, huh? The hard way didn’t work, and now you guys start playing nice? But it’s useless. Even if you fall to your knees and beg me, I won’t tell you where the things are hidden. I know that deep down, who Ibrahim and his men really are. If I talk, what waits for me will only be death.”

Leonard shook his head and said, “Then do you think that if you don’t talk, you won’t have to die?”

“If my men don’t see me alive within one month, the information will be sent to Ibrahim’s enemies. If you let me go and give me 200 million dollars, however, I promise nobody can find both the information, and I will disappear completely.” “So you’re certain I’ll give in, right?” Leonard smiled and said.

This man was clearly very aware of how important that information was and even planned on what to do once he was caught. He stole it just for 200 million dollars.

“Honestly, buying top–secret information for 200 million dollars is not expensive. Unfortunately, I don’t like to be threatened.” Leonard sighed.

“Really? Then what are you going to do? Beat me till I submit, or kill me?”

The man looked disdainful.

“To tell you the truth, the information I stole this time is very important to Ibrahim.

“If I die and Ibrahim’s enemies get the information, you guys will then pay over a hundred times what I’m asking for now.”

“Agree to my terms and let me go, and you will only lose merely 200 million dollars. It’s the best for everyone.”

Leonard looked up and down at the refined and wise man in front of him. It seemed he had everything under control, radiating much confidence that was never unfounded,

Leonard could not help but shake his head slightly. “So, this is your trump card? Do you really think I won’t dare to do anything to you just because you have the information? Aren’t you too naive?”

“Well, do you?”

The man picked up a cigarette from the table and lit one.

Then, he breathed out a puff of smoke onto Leonard’s face.

“Are you having trouble? If you can’t make the decision, bring someone who can. To be frank, a pawn like you is not worthy for me to talk to.

“When I was working for Ibrahim, my level was much higher than yours.”

The man said this with a bit of complacency on his face.

In the past, Ibrahim trusted him very much. Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to access the core information.

If it was not for a big gamble he took in which he lost everything he had, he would not have ended up in this situation.

“Whether I am worthy or not, you will soon find out.”

Leonard waved to disperse the smoke rushing toward him.

Then, he picked up a less than one–foot–long iron rod from the ground, took two steps forward, and slammed it down on the man’s head.

“Bang, bang, bang…

After only three hits, the man fell into a pool of blood.

“Perhaps that idiot Jaguar really believed what you said before and didn’t dare to hit you too hard for fear of killing you. But

that doesn’t work for me.

“Since Ibrahim knows my temper and still asked me to interrogate you, do you really think that top– secret information is a guarantee of your life?”

Leonard looked down at the man lying in a pool of blood, went over and grabbed his hair, and said coldly, “You can continue to keep your secret, but I can also tell you clearly that if you don’t tell it today, You’ll never have the chance to speak again.”

After saying that, Leonard pulled the man’s head, pressed him on the chair, and then ordered Rex behind him, “Take off his clothes.”

Hearing Leonard’s words, Rex showed doubts on his face, not knowing what Leonard was going to do.

Leonard said lightly, “After stripping off his clothes, write the numbers from 1 to 300 on his body.

“Then shoot him starting from 1, until he is completely dead. Let’s see how many shots he can survive.”

Hearing Leonard’s words, the man, whose mind was a little blurred, could not help but shiver.

This was no different from those cruel ancient torture methods.

Plus, once he was shot dozens of times, even if he wanted to talk by then, it might be too late for him.

Obviously, Leonard really did not care about his secrets at all.

This made him feel a little desperate.

He raised his head, looked at Leonard, and said with difficulty, “Who are you? Why can you ignore the company’s risk of losing hundreds of billions of dollars?”

“Then remember it well, my name is Leonard Santos, Ibrahim’s apprentice. They call me Mr. Santos,” Leonard said coldly.

Leonard had realized when he entered this room that this man’s trump card was that information. Even getting caught might be a part of this man’s plan. Therefore, Leonard knew that this man was not afraid of death; only he was sure Ibrahim’s subordinates would not dare to bear the risk of possibly causing the company to lose hundreds of billions of dollars.

Ibrahim knew Leonard’s character, yet he still asked Leonard to deal with this matter, and Leonard knew why.

“So you are the heir chosen by Ibrahim. You are ruthless and have the same personality as Ibrahim. I lost this match.”

The man said dejectedly, “I can tell you where the information is hidden, I just hope you can kill me quickly.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

He actually knew very well what the fate of a betrayer would be.

Hearing this, Leonard could not help smiling.

“If you cooperated so obediently from the beginning, you wouldn’t have suffered this much.

“Of course, Ibrahim will decide whether to kill you or not.”

After Leonard finished speaking, he got up directly and told Rex, “I’ll leave the rest to you.”

At the door, Jaguar’s subordinates were quietly watching.

When they saw Leonard coming out, they immediately looked respectful.

They could tell that Leonard was ruthless, merciless, and extremely cunning.

Jaguar tried everything and failed to make the traitor talk, yet Leonard succeeded so easily.

At this moment, they completely understood just how extremely stupid it was for their boss, Jaguar, to want to intimidate and display authority over a man like Leonard.
