However, he almost immediately regained his composure, and a look of disdain spread across his face.

  Dietris turned around and returned to the sofa. He sat down slowly and snorted at the boy. “Unbecoming? Humph, you’re nothing. What do you know?”


  Youyou smiled and said, “I’m still young. I’m just a fledgling junior. Compared to you, I’ve seen too little of the world, so it’s only natural that I fail in some areas. If I had offended you in some way, please forgive me and don’t take it to heart. We still have a long way to go, so don’t let such a small matter ruin our friendship.”


  Friendship?

  This little guy was very smart. He knew that he must not make an enemy out of him. Now he wanted to befriend him!

  “Since you said you wanted to negotiate a deal with me, what was the deal?”


  Youyou said, “Three billion US dollars. Let my mommy go.”


  “Ha! Since you said it’s a deal, where is the 3 billion US dollars?”


  “I’ve already said it just now. It’s too difficult to prepare so much money within two hours!”


  However, Dietris said coldly, “Since you said it’s a deal, then you have to hand over the money in exchange for what you want. This is the rule! I don’t care what methods you use, if you can’t hand it over, then you’re breaking the contract!”


  At this point, the man’s sinister gaze fell on him. He could not help but feel suspicious.

  “You didn’t even prepare the money. What gave you the guts to come here?!”


  This boy was undoubtedly courting death!

  “Even if I’m not prepared, I should demonstrate my sincerity!”


  Youyou smiled. “Besides, I don’t know if my mommy is dead or alive right now. At least, I should personally verify that she’s safe and sound. Only then can I fulfill my promise to you!”


  Hearing this, Little Yichen immediately stood up and said, “Let us see mommy!”


  Dietris glanced at him and frowned.

  Mu Yichen was clearly worried to the extreme and immediately lost control. “I want to see my mommy; let me see her!”


  Dietris raised his eyebrows and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa. He smiled and said, “What a filial child! So eager to protect his mother! A rare gem!”


  He waved his hand lightly. One of his subordinates immediately walked up to the boy and threw a punch.

  Little Yichen was caught off guard. The punch landed squarely on him, and he fell to the ground. The huge force sent his entire head reeling. He shook his head, but in the end, he could not withstand it and fainted.

  “Since he wants to see his dear mother, then take him to see her!”


  Youyou stood up nervously. “What do you want?!”


  His subordinate immediately lifted his leg and swept the boy to the ground.

  Youyou furrowed his brow in pain, but he did not utter a sound. He gritted his teeth and looked up.

  Dietris said coldly, “Lock this little thing up with that woman!”


  “Roger that.”


  His subordinate walked over and grabbed Little Yichen’s collar with one hand. He easily lifted him up and dragged him out.

  The door closed again, leaving only Youyou and Dietris in the room.

  Youyou looked in the direction of the door worriedly. His face was filled with fear, but a victorious smile flashed across his eyes.

  As he struggled to get up from the ground, he said to the man, “Give me five hours. I will fulfill my promise.”


  Dietris narrowed his eyes dangerously. “You want to negotiate with me?”
