Chapter 45 Extreme Demands

At 10 pm, Erin and Holly’s flight arrived at Aunder. When they came out from the airport, they

immediately hailed a taxi that left straight for King Midas Club.

Hans, who had boarded the same flight, had followed them in another taxi behind, keeping his

distance.

An hour later, Erin and Holly arrived and got out of the taxi. Erin had already called Tony when she was

still in the taxi, telling him she had

gotten the money.

Tony was stunned, but at the thought of getting his money, he eagerly wanted her to come and send

the money over. At that moment, he was waiting for them at the top–floor office of King Midas Club.

Erin and Holly took a deep breath before entering the huge, brilliantly lit building. As the glass elevator

kept rising, she looked out at the dazzling skyline–the glamourous and vibrant nightlife appealed to

every human’s deepest greed.

In the elevator, Holly looked at Erin and said. “Erin, don’t worry. My friend in Aunder said that Tony is a

trustworthy guy! He said that his

casino is much safer than the others. There has never been any murder in his casino.”

She thought for a while before saying. “I’m guessing what he said to you on the phone was a little bit of

an exaggeration. He only wants you to get the money fast. Don’t worry. I’ve already told my friends. If

they still don’t let your parents go after we give them the money,

they’ll call the police.”

“Holly, thank you so much! Please help me thank your friends as well.” Erin was a little nervous at that

moment. As long as the matter had

yet to be resolved, she didn’t dare to relax one bit.

Holly touched the back of Erin’s hand and nodded.

The elevator has reached the top floor. Erin and Holly exhaled deeply before exiting. Black–clad

bodyguards stood every 20 meters

throughout the corridor, looking at them with intimidating gazes. Some even looked hostile, sizing them

up.

Holly held Erin’s arm and quickly walked to Tony’s office. Within two minutes, they reached his office.

The door was open, with two

bodyguards guarding it.

“Hello, we’re here to see Tony.” Erin said.

At that moment, Tony was by the wine rack pouring himself some wine. He walked over to the door and

smiled at them when he saw two gorgeous ladies. He smiled and said, “Which one of you is Erin

Lane?”

Erin looked at Tony, who looked rather menacing, and nodded. “Hi, Tony. I’m Erin. I’ve brought you the

money.”

Tony Dixon had tanned skin and looked to be in his forties. Dressed from head to toe in branded

clothes, he accessorized with a pendant around his neck and a gold chain on his wrist. He took a sip of

wine before turning around and said, “Come in.”

Erin and Holly looked at each other before entering the office, pretending to be calm and collected.

Tony sat in his leather chair and said, “Before you two arrived, Grayson Lawrence went berserk and

scratched the arm of one of my men. They are my followers, and as their leader, naturally, I have to

bear the responsibility for their safety. Tell me, how should we deal with this?

Erin was so taken aback and lost she looked at Holly. On the other hand, Holly was much more

collected. She smiled and said to Tony.” Tony, cut to the chase. Do you want us to pay or apologize?”

Tony swept Holly a glance. He chuckled a little and said, “Lady, you have guts. I admire you. Since you

insist, I’ll cut to the chase.” He continued. “I have a business meeting with a friend tonight. This friend of

mine has always been teasing me, saying I can’t find a decent. woman unless I spend money to hire

them. I want you two to pretend to be my girlfriend later.”

Tony saw them furrowing their brows. He chuckled and added. “You don’t have to say anything. All you

need to do is pour wine for us. When he leaves, give me the eight million, and you can take your

parents home. I can even get my men to send you to the airport if you

want.”

They were very resistant to Tony’s request. How dare he make such an extreme demand? Erin almost

stood up and yelled at him. However, at the thought of her parents still being held hostage, she

suppressed the anger in her heart and said, “Tony, if Grayson has really hurt your men. I apologize.

Can’t we offer compensation? My friend and I are here to pay the debt, not drink. Please don’t make

things difficult!”

Tony’s gaze darkened. His tone turned cold. “I’m only allowing you to do this because the two of you

look pretty enough! If you two are pol cooperative, just go home! We can talk about the debt repayment

another day.”

“But we flew all the way here to Aunder–tuin wanted to say something else when Holly gave her a look,

asking her to stop talking.

Tony’s stonewalled expression battled them. They had already bought the eight million with them, yet

he insisted on them drinking with him, and only then would he let Erin’s parents go. They were

resentful.

Holly sighed and pinched Erin’s wrist before looking up and saying to Tony. “We’ll do it. I hope you keep

your word.”

Tony was instantly delighted. “Don’t worry! I’m a man of my word! If I go back on my word, I’m a

coward!”

Erin and Holly looked at each other. They encouraged each other, saying that all they needed to do

was to endure this.

“But what you’re wearing is too casual I’ll get Mrs. Blossom to get you dressed. I can’t embarrass

myself in front of my friend, right? Tony’s over–the–top chuckle gave them the creeps.

“Okay then, we’ll go get change.” Holly held Erin’s hand tightly. She was even more cautious at that

moment.

Erin had been suppressing her rage all this while. She wanted to ask to see her mother and Grayson,

but it was as if Tony could read her mind. He said, “Erin, don’t worry! Once my friend leaves, I’ll take

you to see your parents. Go gel change. My friend is arriving in half an hour

Two bodyguards escorted Erin and Holly to see Mrs. Blossom, the manager of the club. After they left.

Tony’s expression immediately

darkened, and he called Mrs. Blossom on the phone.

At that moment, Mrs. Blossom, with a cigarette in her mouth, was busy selecting the right candidate to

accompany the God of Gambling

that night. She held her phone and asked. “Tony, what can I do for you? I’m busy!”

Tony narrowed his eyes dangerously, thinking about his plan. He said to Mrs. Blossom, “I got my men

to take two girls to you. One of them is called Erin Lane. Dress her up nicely and send her to Louis. I

believe our Aunder’s God of Gambling will be delighted.”
