He was the chief leader of the River Rats, which the Clusian police had been actively chasing recently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease, come in and have a drink,\u201d Viper warmly invited Morris, He believed Morris was the leader of the Smith family.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the real Mr. Smith had already been hidden by Morris and his team in a warehouse in Manesia. Since the real Mr. Smith was also a Manesia Clusia, many people knew little about him.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing people knew was that Mr. Smith was extremely wealthy, not someone to offend easily. He had a scar on his face but still had a remarkable presence. Therefore, Viper trusted Morris completely.<\/p>\n<p>Morris and Steven followed Viper inside. Morris turned his head slightly to look at the large floor\u2013to\u2013ceiling windows in the private room, taking in the luxury of the cruise ship bar at a glance.<\/p>\n<p>As Morris and Viper sat down, bodyguards placed two glasses of red wine on the table. Morris and Viper clinked their glasses and took a sip.<\/p>\n<p>Viper spoke up, \u201cMr. Smith, where\u2019s my stuff?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris set his glass down and gestured towards Steven. The next moment, a black suitcase was placed on the table. Steven opened it.<\/p>\n<p>Viper leaned in for a closer look and saw a case filled with sparkling uncut diamonds. \u201cMr. Smith, this isn\u2019t what I asked for,\u201d He said to Morris with a confused look.<\/p>\n<p>Morris smiled. He moved closer to the case and brushed aside the top layer of diamonds, revealing a collection of small silencers and pistols under a black cloth.<\/p>\n<p>Viper\u2019s eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly called someone to check them. He also pulled out a black suitcase from under the table, saying, \u201cHere\u2019s the cash, Mr. Smith, please check it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris glanced over and replied, \u201cNo need, I\u2019ll take it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Viper laughed heartily. He said, \u201cMr. Smith, you sure are generous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few seconds later, Viper\u2019s man reported, \u201cWe\u2019re short by 20.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Viper\u2019s expression changed instantly. He asked, \u201cWhat do you mean by this, Mr. Smith?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris remained calm. He took a small sip from the wine glass on the table and looked at Noah with charm. He said, \u201cWhy rush? I\u2019m interested in making a deal with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Viper frowned. He was displeased as he asked, \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris spoke casually, \u201cI heard from some big shots in Manesia that you have captured quite a few socialites from Clusia. You know, I\u2019m originally a Clusian, still single, and I have a thing for Clusian socialites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you can set it up for me, I\u2019ll give you another 100, no extra fees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris\u2019s words intrigued Viper. He thought, \u201cMeeting the Smith family is a great opportunity. These Manesian aristocrats love to be around cultured and well\u2013bred women.\u2018<\/p>\n<p>1\/3<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 226<\/p>\n<p>Then Viper laughed loudly, saying, \u201cI didn\u2019t expect you to have the same taste. Alright, you\u2019re generous. It\u2019s a deal. What type do you prefer? You can drop by my island tomorrow and make your pick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris raised an eyebrow and said, \u201cAlright, but where exactly is your island?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Viper replied, \u201cJust come to the Astonburg dock tomorrow. Someone\u2019ll meet you. Let\u2019s have a drink on that.\u201d He raised his glass to Morris.<\/p>\n<p>Morris smiled and clinked his glass in return. He said, \u201cIt\u2019s settled then. After I choose tomorrow, you\u2019ll get your goods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next day at the Astonburg docks, Viper\u2019s men arrived on time to meet Morris and Steven. They stopped Steven at the dock.<\/p>\n<p>Morris, who was dressed casually today and carried a black suitcase, got on a speedboat with Noah\u2019s men.<\/p>\n<p>A bodyguard on the speedboat pulled out a black cloth and said to Morris, \u201cMr. Smith, according to our rules, we need to cover your eyes. Sorry for the inconvenience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen minutes later, the speedboat arrived at an uninhabited island. Morris was taken off the island and into a car that bumped along the rough road.<\/p>\n<p>After about ten more minutes, the car stopped. The bodyguard helped Morris remove the blindfold from his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Once the blindfold was removed, Morris squinted as if the light dazzled him. He took a pair of gold\u2013framed glasses from his pocket and put them on.<\/p>\n<p>He looked up at the building in front of him, which was about ten stories high. He glanced around. Aside from this building, the island was nearly empty and desolate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Smith, please come inside. Mr. Grant is upstairs waiting for you,\u201d said one of the men dressed in black who had brought Morris here. Morris nodded, followed the man inside, and took the elevator to the tenth floor.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the elevator doors opened, Viper was waiting at the entrance. He said, \u201cMr. Smith, you\u2019re right on time. This way, please. We have over a dozen debutantes here for you to choose from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris grinned. He shook the suitcase in his hand in front of Noah and said, \u201cAlright, take me to see them first. Don\u2019t worry. Once I find one I like, this case will be yours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Viper was surprised by Morris\u2019s easygoing. He said, \u201cJust wait here. I will have someone bring them up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The eighth floor of the building was where the wealthy women from Clusia were held.<\/p>\n<p>A man in black opened the door, and the room was filled with shrieks from the dozens of women inside.<\/p>\n<p>Those women were still dressed in their designer outfits from before the kidnapping, all from top international brands, a clear sign of their affluent backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>The man in black pulled out a gun and shouted, \u201cShut up! Line up, or the next one to scream gets shot. Follow me to the tenth floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a billionaire from Manesia coming to choose some of you. Consider yourself lucky if you get picked.\u201d Instantly, the women fell silent, trembling and holding back tears as they lined up behind the man in black.<\/p>\n<p>Morris was sitting on the sofa in the office. His legs crossed confidently like he owned the place.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, the man in black opened the door and said, \u201cMr. Grant, I\u2019ve brought them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next moment, the women shuffled in, heads down, looking downcast. Morris glanced at the line of women, then at<\/p>\n<p>L<\/p>\n<p>\u5b99<\/p>\n<p>08:55 Wed, Dec 11 W<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 226<\/p>\n<p>Noah. He deliberately flashed a greedy smile.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing this. Viper gestured to them and said, \u201cRaise your heads and let Mr. Smith have a good look. If he picks you, it\u2019s your lucky day. He\u2019s hundreds, even thousands of times better off than any of you back in Clusia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man in black shouted, \u201cLook up!\u201d The dozens of women hesitantly and fearfully raised their heads.<\/p>\n<p>Upon seeing Morris, the woman in the corner looked up and became instantly excited. She stepped forward eagerly and shouted, \u201cMorris, Mr. Chivers, is that you?
