Chapter 1061 – Terrorist Incident (II)

“Get back, all those who don’t want to die get back.”

The dozen or so big men who swarmed in from the main entrance did not use the sub-machine guns in their hands, but each of them took out a plastic police baton, and hit the crowd like driving pigs and dogs in general, they seemed to be completely unaware of the fact that perhaps they had just struck that baton on the face of the richest man in a certain country.

Although in the crowd there is no lack of like Will Smith, Tom Cruise and Stallone and other screen heroes, but it is clear that these on-screen killing the good man, at the moment is obviously not the opponent of these “professional” robbers, three or two rounds later, crowded to the front door of the people are bruised and swollen face back.

“Mr. Governor, the phone can not call out, I think …… we have a problem.”

There are also so many people did not run around, at the moment by five or six professional bodyguards surrounded in the middle of Mr. Arnold is one of them, I do not know whether it is his star governor’s identity or that body of body-building muscles play a role, his side quickly surrounded by a group of people.

Mr. Arnold’s bodyguards are all retired from the U.S. Special Forces elite, but today to participate in this dinner, also did not carry any weapons, anti-terrorism experience they know, they should keep quiet rather than go to heroes to provoke these unknown origin of the robbers.

But unfortunately, now can keep calm people is too little, especially those Hollywood actresses, are in the full display of the screen did not show the singing voice, even Zeta-Jones such a beauty, is also a hand clutching her husband, while using her larger than normal lung capacity, in the distribution of noise.

What’s more, there are many attendants in the venue, these can be ordinary people, it is even more impossible to be quiet, the whole banquet hall is a noise, there are even some bold people try to go to once again impact the main door guarded by the thugs.

“Bang Bang Bang ……”

Three clear gunshots came out, so that the noisy hall violently silent down, the chaos of the crowd looked at the sound, but in the front door lay three men wearing waiter’s clothing clothes, are shot in the head, bright red blood gurgling out, between also mixed with white brain matter.

These gunshots let the crowd completely understand their situation, unarmed, they are now like a group of sheep in the face of the lions, any resistance will suffer the return of sharp teeth.

Have to say, can become the world’s super-rich people, absolutely know the meaning of China’s “know the time as a handsome man” this sentence, after seeing the situation clearly, one by one are silent, to the acquaintance of the place to converge up, and soon form a few small circle.

“I think …… at this moment friends are willing to listen to me say a few words.”

At some point, the middle-aged, white-haired man who had first entered the room stood in front of the auction table where William had just been, repositioning the microphone that had fallen to the ground, drawing the crowd’s attention to the center of the venue.

“Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, I am sorry to have to inform you that this party, which belongs to you today, has come to an end.”

A smile appeared on the middle-aged man’s face as he continued, “You can call me David, oh sorry, I know he’s a fake name, but you can just call me by that name for the time being, and now I’d like to ask you all to cooperate by handing over all cellular telephones, walkie-talkies, video cameras, and certain dangerous things.”

As soon as the middle-aged man’s words fell, more than ten brawny men rushed into the crowd like wolves and tigers, there were also a few people who got up to resist, but then they were knocked to the ground by the heavy plastic batons, letting out painful moans, which were mixed with some women’s screams and cries, it was obvious that the thugs tried to try to find certain lethal weapons from their panties or bras.

After ten minutes had passed, everyone had been ransacked, and in the middle of the venue were placed all kinds of expensive and luxurious cell phones as well as communication tools, and those actresses in the crowd who had originally wrapped their bodies with a few pieces of cloth were now unclothed, squatting and shivering on the ground with their hands clasping their chests.

“Head, it’s done.”

After the robbers had completely taken control of the situation on the eighteenth floor, three more people came in from the main entrance, and the one in the lead held a laptop and walked straight to the middle-aged man’s side.

“Bernie, your heartbeat will soon be accelerated, hurry up and connect the network, by the way, the signal shielding can be canceled.”

The middle-aged man smiled, looking at this full of gentlemen and ladies, a trace of self-satisfaction couldn’t help but appear on his face, the action he had planned hadn’t made any mistakes so far, perhaps in an hour’s time, he would be one of the richest people in this world.

“Head, don’t worry! Everything is under control.”

Bernie opened the computer and debugged on it, after a few minutes, the defense map of the whole building was presented on the computer screen, in the basement of the first floor and on the rooftop, there were more than twenty red dots, these were their people, indicating that the key locations in the hotel had been controlled by them.

“Good job.”

The middle-aged man nodded, placed his sight on the crowd in the banquet hall, and opened his mouth, “My time is very limited, I think your time is also very valuable, now there is a list of names, the gentleman and lady whose names have been called, please step forward, as long as you’re willing to transfer a sum of money into a certain account, I think that very soon, you’ll be able to get free.”

The middle-aged man pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and read aloud, “Who is Mr. Richard Bellew? I’ve been an admirer of your media conglomerate for a long time.”

“I …… am …….”

A voice rang out from the crowd, and a bald, short, fat old man stood up warily, his face covered in cold sweat, he hadn’t expected that the first person to be called was actually himself.

The middle aged man glanced at Richard and opened his mouth, ”Richard Bellew, the media giant of country X, the owner of the third largest media company in the world, has just completed a thirty billion dollar merger and acquisition, I think …… your honorable identity can be worth at least five billion dollars, right? Well, now as long as I see the funds on this account reach five billion dollars, you will be free.”

Since the middle-aged man appeared, he brought great pressure to the whole field, they didn’t know for what purpose these people actually hijacked this place, until now after the middle-aged man said these words, all of them breathed a sigh of relief, for these people in the field, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

What they are most afraid of is the attack carried out by some terrorist organizations, just like that 911 tragedy that happened eight years ago, those people don’t care about money, in front of those fanatical religious elements, no matter if you are a billionaire or a poor beggar, the life is just as fragile.

“Five …… five billion dollars?”

After that media mogul who originally had a fearful face heard this figure, his whole body jumped up and shouted, “Sir, are you crazy? It’s impossible for any company to have such a large amount of liquidity, those hundreds of billions of dollars in mergers and acquisitions are nothing more than a numbers game.”

Richard was telling the truth, although his assets were in the tens of billions of dollars, but those included all kinds of stocks and fixed assets, the real funds that could be disposed of at any time were only about one billion dollars, and if he wanted to use this one billion dollars, he had to call the Swiss bank personally to operate before he could do so.

To know, when the son of the richest Chinese man, Superman Lee, was kidnapped, with his ten billion dollars, it took two days to raise one billion Hong Kong dollars, so it is clear that this liquidity and his actual assets are two different things, not that he has as many assets as he can come up with as much cash as he wants.

“Mr. Richard, your words make it difficult for me! If they are all like you, then wouldn’t I have come here today for nothing?”

The middle-aged man still had a smile on his face, but his eyes chilled, looking at Richard as if he was looking at a dead man.

Seemingly feeling the threat of death, Richard hurriedly shouted, “This gentleman, I can transfer one billion dollars right now, I said right away, I need time to raise the remaining four billion.”

Richard’s words made the killing intent in the middle-aged man’s eyes slowly recede, and the smile returned to his face, saying, “You can use the phone to make the transfer now, of course, you can also call 911 to start calling the police, and I think …… the US government will award you the Good Citizen Award, and the prize money may be able to be used at your funeral.”

In fact, the middle-aged man did not care about the other party to call the police, he had long planned all kinds of retreats, with these people in front of him, the U.S. government, even if they ate the ambition of the leopard’s guts, but also do not dare to rush to force the attack, these hostages are enough to make his safety to get the maximum guarantee.

Richard took the phone handed over by one of the robbers, and had already begun to make a transfer, the richer this man was the more he cherished his life, he didn’t play any tricks, it was just that due to procedural issues, the money would not arrive until ten minutes later.

“Shit, one billion dollars? I can’t get it with two less zeros! Grandma, did this kid Zhuang Rui know that there was a robbery and ran away early?”

In the crowd in the middle of the venue, Huangfu Yun holding that Xuande stove in his arms, a face of bitterness, it is estimated that in addition to those waiters and security guards, the poorest people within this scene will be the number of him, at the beginning of the accident Huangfu Yun was looking for Zhuang Rui’s silhouette, however, he found that Zhuang Rui since he walked out of the banquet hall, it seems that he did not come back.

“Head, what about these jewels? Let’s take them all away?” A robber looked at the more than ten glass cabinets, his eyes were full of little stars, those were all genuine top quality jewelry!

“Idiot, take these things back, you can only hang them on your genitals.” The middle-aged man glared at the guy.
