Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: How Much Do You Owe Me?
Though Jason Ross and his people reacted quickly, the sheer number of men in black who suddenly stormed in overwhelmed and subdued them in no time.
"Who are you people? Do you know who I am?" Ray Ross said loudly to the man in charge.
But the leader didn’t pay attention to Ray Ross. His gaze swept across all those captured, and suddenly his expression changed.
Yes, they were men sent by Adam Ross. Following Ray Ross and Oliver Ross, they had found Benjamin Carter’s location.
"Where is he!"
They had managed to capture Ray Ross and Oliver Ross, but Benjamin Carter was nowhere to be found.
Benjamin Carter had taken advantage of their fight to sneak away.
His sneaky deeds were numerous, and his skill at escaping in chaos was polished and sharp.
After slipping out of the rental house, Benjamin Carter immediately went into hiding. Patting his pocket, he only managed to pull out a few banknotes.
Annoyed, Benjamin Carter ran his fingers through his hair. He seemed to be considering going home, but his gaze caught sight of a bar in the corner. Rubbing his hands, he walked over to it.
On the other hand, Adam Ross almost threw all the pet food into the aquarium upon learning that Benjamin Carter had escaped in the confusion.
"Did you catch Ray Ross and Oliver Ross?" Adam Ross took a deep breath to steady his tone.
"They’ve been captured."
The person reporting also sounded somewhat apologetic; after all, Carter had escaped right under their watch.
"Alright, bring those two back."
After hanging up the phone, Adam Ross contacted Charlotte Thompson to report that the mastermind behind the scenes had been caught, and also about Benjamin Carter’s escape.
"That’s fine. Benjamin Carter won’t get far. I’ve found that he has quite a bit of high-interest debt on his hands. With a temperament like his, he’s bound to go back to the gambling halls to try his luck again. Send someone to check out the underground gambling dens, and haven’t you had Raina Richard under surveillance too? Maybe Benjamin Carter will go back looking for her."
As long as the two behind-the-scenes troublemakers were caught, Charlotte was relieved.
As for Raina Richard and Benjamin Carter, they were merely after money, and weren’t too fixated on the child.
Just as Charlotte suspected, Benjamin Carter slipped back into an underground gambling den.
He had hoped to multiply the few banknotes in his pocket several times over, but his luck was abysmal and he ended up losing a considerable amount of money.
Without money, Benjamin Carter naturally thought about borrowing some, but as luck would have it, the loan shark in the gambling den happened to be an old acquaintance of his.
Benjamin Carter was kicked out, toppling a row of plastic stools.
But he didn’t dare cry out in pain and scampered up, kneeling on the ground and inching toward the man who was engrossed in a game of mahjong.
"Oy, isn’t that Mr. Sean? What a small man I am for not recognizing a great man, I didn’t even realize it was you."
With a face full of sycophancy, Benjamin Carter looked at the man in front of him, though inwardly cursing his bad luck.
How unlucky to have run into this man.
"It’s pretty impressive that you still recognize me. I thought after all this time, you’d have forgotten about me," Mr. Sean coughed, flicking ash from his cigarette between his fingers.
While speaking to Benjamin Carter, his eyes never left the mahjong tiles before him, not sparing Carter a single glance.
"You’ve been on the run for so long and haven’t been found, you’re quite capable, eh? So, do you know how much more you owe me for the days you haven’t paid up?"
