“Twenty thousand? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
The man let out a sinister Laugh, stepping forward in a threatening manner. “You won''t hand over the money until | teach you a

Maggie’s heart raced nervously as she observed the dangerous aura emanating from the man.

money.”
The man regarded Maggie, seemingly processing their words.
Jeffry nced back at Maggie and shook his head.
