Need it, no need it!


    Charlie Wade’s scheme was already known to them. He had brought them to a location where they werepletely disoriented and instructed them to record a video for their families. This served a dual purpose: it assured their families that they were still alive while simultaneously pressuring them to pay for their freedom.


    If their familiesplied and sent the ransom, they would be returned to Hong Wu’s dog farm, allowing them to continue their lives. However, if the funds were not provided, their fate would likely be to vanish into the vast ocean.


    Steve Hogwitz was the first to speak, his voice trembling with emotion, “Wife, it’s me, Steve. I’m still alive, and so is Walter, but we’ve been kidnapped. The conditions we’re enduring are unbearable; we’re living in a nightmare. Please, for our safety, you must meet their demands, or we risk being thrown into the sea…”


    Walter Hogwitz joined in, tears streaming down his face, “Mom! Please, you have to save us! They seem trustworthy. If you send money, we will survive. But if you don’t, my dad and I will likely perish!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    After this emotional plea, Walter embraced his father and wept uncontrobly.


    His recent life had been filled with suffering. Not long ago, he was confined to a dog cage in a kennel, undergoing dialysis daily. Now, he found himself in even worse conditions aboard a ship, where the violent rocking made his situation as a double renal failure patient even more unbearable. All he wished for was to return to Hong Wu’s kennel, where at least the environment was stable and familiar, providing somefortpared to the ship.


    The thought of longing for the kennel filled Walter with despair, prompting tears to flow freely.


    The soldier tasked with filming him drew closer, capturing his emotional breakdown. This raw disy of feeling was exactly what was needed for their extortion scheme.<fn5a57> Get full chapters from fι?dnοvel</fn5a57>


    He encouraged Walter, “Young master, let those tears flow even more. A bit of snot would be great too, so your mother can see how desperate you are and feelpelled to pay.”


    Walter responded through his sobs, “I’ve cried so much already…”


    The soldier nodded in agreement, “It’s definitely sad, but we need it to be more dramatic. Just think about your future—lying on a bed in a dog farm for decades, with dialysis tubes all over your body. The thought alone is enough to make anyone feel hopeless, right?”


    Upon hearing this, Walter burst into even louder tears, with snot now streaming down onto his father Steve.


    The soldier was pleased and dered, “Alright, that’s enough from both of you. We’ll edit the video for your family now.”
