"It's them. It's the Yales."
Gloria did not say that for James to hear. In fact, she was truly expressing her thoughts that were from the bottom of her heart. She truly was unable to take Old Master as her father because he had never raised her for a day. Her adoptive parents had taken her in when she was eighteen years old, but Gloria felt that she was closer to her adoptive parents.
Hearing Gloria saying so, James said very emotionally, "I got it, Gloria. I will be by your side. No matter whichever ends of the world we ended up in, I will be by your side. I will have to first go back to my place to pack up a little. After that, I will move to the mountains with you. From then on, we will live a simple and hardworking life.
Alright?"
Tears were flowing down Gloria’s cheeks." Mm-hmm. I'll do as you say."
"Then, I'll first return to pack up, alright?" asked James.
"Alright."
After James had gotten Gloria’s permission, he immediately returned to his lair.
"I already know the place that she told me about. That should be the valley where the Yale family lived. It’s about seventy kilometers from South City and it’s a valley deep in the mountains. The people in the valley had already moved to the city, so there are even fewer people there now.
We'll first go over to recon and familiarize ourselves with the land and environment in the surroundings. After all the preparation is done, Gloria and I will go there together. I have another piece of good news for you. Gloria had even hidden about eighty million dollars in that country house. If we had not known that her father had left several billion dollars of assets for her, just that eighty million dollars worth of jewelry is also a very big sum to us. Now that we know about the billions, why do I feel these eighty million dollars are nothing much? However, no matter how small the money, we also can't let it slip through. We have to take it as well! We can't leave anything behind!"
The next day, when Gloria went to the valley where the Yale family lived, James and all of his accomplices had already arrived. They wanted to first trick Gloria into telling them where the jewelry was hidden. After they have found the jewelry, they would then kidnap her. They could then directly negotiate with Old Master Shaw as their next step. They had a very good plan. It appeared to be perfect.
However, what James had never expected in his wildest dream was that there was a saying that said that the hunters would soon become the hunted. This saying could not have been more suitable for this gang.
When Gloria came to the small house in the valley where the Yale family lived, James came out to welcome her very naturally. At that moment, he no longer had to conceal the greed in him anymore." Gloria, where are all the jewelry?"
Gloria gently smiled. "James, there is too much jewelry. The two of us may not be able to carry them all."
