Chapter 174
“Then what do you want?” Jane asked coldly.
Simon looked at the two of them with a grim look, especially Drake, “Mr. Warner has caused my company to lose so much money. If you want to save her, then use the money to redeem her.”
Hearing that he wanted money, Jane breathed a sigh of relief.
‘I’ll give you as much as you want.”
‘Intel’s loss in the past two weeks is conservatively estimated to be more than one billion dollars, so it will two billion to take her.”
The moment Jane heard the amount, her sigh of relief became a gasp of mortification.
Although she had achieved financial freedom, two billion dollars was still an astronomical figure. She could not afford it at all.
She could only look at Drake. She wanted to borrow money from him to rescue Linda first.
Unexpectedly, Drake gave her a reassuring look. This made her calm down.
“Intel’s loss can only mean that you’re not capable.” Drake stepped forward and stood in front of
Jane.
Hearing his words, Simon’s face became even more livid. If only his eyes could shoot bullets, then the two of them would be turned into a sieve already.
“Since you don’t want to pay, why don’t you try a new gun with me?”
With that, he pulled out a black vintage revolver from his waist, opened the drawer in front of him,
and took out three bullets.
“If all three bullets were unfired, I’ll let you guys leave,” Simon said provokingly.
Jane’s eyes landed on the revolver on the table, feeling a little scared.
“I’ll do it!” Jane stepped forward and looked at Simon.
Since Linda was kidnapped because she came to look for her and was targeted by Simon, then it was up to her to do this.
Drake immediately pulled Jane back, then looked at Simon coldly.
“Bring her here first. Your words are not credible.” Drake said seriously. With his understanding of his underhanded methods, he would not easily let them go.
After hesitating for a moment, Simon still ordered for Linda to be brought up. When Jane saw Linda tied up so tightly, she wished she could stab Simon with her glare.
‘What despicable person uses such a method against a woman?’
“Go on, Mr. Warner!” The moment Linda was brought into the room, Simon raised his hand and motioned for Drake to start the ‘game‘.
Drake also did not hesitate. He stepped forward and loaded all three bullets into the magazine in front of Simon. Then, he raised the revolver and fired it three times continuously at his temple.
His movements were too fast for Jane to stop him.

Her heart quivered and her voice broke when she shouted, “No!”
Her shout just ended when Drake’s three shots were finished.
After that, he threw the gun on the table and looked at Simon coldly, “Now, let us leave.”
Not only was Jane shocked, but Simon was also shocked. He did not understand how Drake did it. With such a random chance, he could survive unscathed.
In disbelief, he picked up the revolver and opened the magazine. He saw that there were three unfired bullets inside
Drake became impatient when Simon still had not talked.
“What? Do you want to break your promise? You said before that my words could not be trusted, but I think you should reflect on yourself. I’m just treating others the same way others are treating me. Drake said impatiently.
He had previously agreed to allow him to enter the domestic market but later broke the contract because of Simon’s provocation. It was because Simon himself did not abide by the rules first and repeatedly challenged his bottom line.
Simon’s face became even more indescribable because of Drake’s words. In the end, he ordered his men to release the hostage.
When Linda was untied, Jane immediately stepped forward to help her.
“Are you alright?” Jane asked worriedly after tearing off the tape on Linda’s mouth.
“I’m okay.” Linda shook her head, her face pale. She was still a little confused. She was still sleeping
in the hotel but when she woke up, she returned to the US, still being held captive.
After Simon released Linda, the three of them immediately left his territory.
Linda was still shaken. After they arrived at a hotel, she fell asleep from exhaustion. Only now did Jane have the opportunity to talk to Drake.
“Why were you so impulsive? Have you thought about the consequences if one of those three bullets hit you?”
Simon’s purpose had always been clear, that was, to target Drake. The so–called ‘gun play‘ was just for Drake to kill himself.
“Are you worried about me?” Drake did not answer Jane’s questions. His deep gaze fell on her, with a bit of gentle doting.
When he looked at her with such eyes, Jane shivered a little. She looked away quickly, feeling annoyed.
“Who’s worried about you? It would be best if you were shot earlier, Jane said harshly.
Drake chuckled. He knew what Jane really felt, and also knew that she was just saying harsh words because of the heat of the moment
“Don’t worry, I won’t die until you change your mind.”
“How did you do it? Why’re you so sure that the three bullets won’t hit you?”
Drake’s movements of firing three shots in a row were neat and confident. This got Jane curious.

“It’s just a little trick. It’s a single–action Colt M1860. As long as the hammer wasn’t pulled to the end, the magazine can’t be aligned with the barrel, so the bullet can’t be shot. I just need to use enough force to control the magazine. As long as you’re fast, accurate, and resolute enough, you can naturally control the bullets fired.” Drake said indifferently.
Back when he was still in the Special Forces, he was the best in assembling and disassembling firearms. He knew all kinds of firearms like the back of his hand. This little trick was easy to master.
Seeing his calm face, Jane snorted softly and did not bother to talk to him about this matter
anymore.
“Will Simon still trouble you?” Jane asked coldly. If such a ticking time bomb was not disposed of properly, it would always trouble them.
They could not always be on the alert for such people around them. Even if they could always be cautious, their friends and family could not.
“He won’t dare to do it again, I’ll make sure of it,” Drake said seriously.
“I don’t know how many people you have offended. You can’t just live in fear that something would be done to you one day.” Jane pursed her lips, still fearful of the situation.
“Are you afraid?” Drake asked softly. The Warner family’s situation was not complicated, and there were not many family members. Most of his enemies were those business competitors who could not fight him so they resort to vicious means.
“Yes, I’m afraid, so I would like to ask when will Mr. Warner divorce me?” Jane replied, with a little sarcasm in her wary voice. She felt very anxious just thinking about what Simon could and would do to her children.
Drake’s eyes became stormy.
“Do you think that divorce can separate you from me?”
