Chapter 348 Self-Inflicted Harm
Brenda strolled into the hotel, headed straight up to the third floor, and knocked softly on a door. When Larry, looking all beat up, answered, she paused for a second. She instantly thought of Elizabeth's crazy skills and figured these guys must've tangled with her. But honestly, Brenda didn't care about their bruises; she just wanted to know if they got the job done.
Larry said, "Come on in."
Brenda stepped inside, shut the door, and made sure to lock it. "Did you get the stuff?" she asked.
"Yeah, we got it." Larry pointed to the coffee table where a strand of hair and half a bottle of blood sat. The blood was from one of his guys.
Brenda's eyes lit up when she saw it. She carefully picked up the items and tucked them into her bag.
"How'd you get these? Did she just hand them over?" she asked. Knowing Elizabeth, there was no way she gave them up without a fight.
Larry's face darkened. "Are you kidding? We had to drug her and take them by force."
He shot Brenda a hostile look. "Why didn't you tell us Elizabeth was such a badass? We got our asses kicked trying to stop her. If we hadn't managed to jab her with a syringe when she wasn't looking, we wouldn't have gotten these, and we almost got killed."
Elizabeth had told him to make Brenda believe the hair and blood were hers, so he played along.
Brenda's doubts faded. Judging by their condition, they probably didn't assault Elizabeth, which was a shame. She put on an innocent face and said, "Sorry, I had no idea she was that good."
Larry, getting impatient, said, "Enough talk. Transfer the remaining $3.5 million."
Brenda replied, "I can give you $1,000,000 now. Once I confirm the hair and blood are Elizabeth's, you'll get the rest."
She mostly believed them but had to be sure. If the stuff wasn't legit, they weren't getting another dime. And if they tried to scam her, she'd make them pay back what they took.
Larry was already planning to deal with Brenda, and now she was pushing his buttons. He grabbed her by the neck and yelled, "Brenda, are you trying to screw us over? We got beat up for this, and you still want to back out?"
Brenda looked annoyed. "I never said I wouldn't pay. Once it's verified, you'll get the rest."
She planned to hand the items to Amy and let that evil wizard do his thing. If it wasn't Elizabeth's blood, it would be one of the three's. If they got unlucky, they had it coming for trying to trick her.
Larry sneered, "And where are we supposed to find you then? Transfer the money now, or I'll kill you." As he finished, another guy pressed a dagger to Brenda's head.
Brenda didn't expect them to flip the script so fast. She felt a real sense of danger creeping in, something she couldn't quite put her finger on. Her gut was never wrong. If she didn't transfer the money, they might actually hurt her.
"Fine, I'll transfer it," she said, feeling cornered. These guys had the nerve to treat her like this; she wouldn't forget it.
With their eyes glued to her, Brenda reluctantly pulled out her phone and transferred $3,500,000 to Larry's account.
"Happy now?" she asked, glaring at Larry. "We've settled the deal; I'm outta here."
Larry suddenly grinned, "Do you know what we used to do?"
Brenda's stomach dropped. "What did you do?"
Larry leaned in close and whispered, "Robbery, extortion, fraud, rape; we do it all. If you want to leave, transfer all the money in your account to me. And then spend the night with us, and I guarantee you'll leave safely in the morning."
He was still pissed about earlier. Brenda had caused them trouble, and he wanted payback. Making her sleep with them to blow off steam seemed fair to him.
Brenda looked at him in disbelief, shouting, "How dare you." These guys weren't just untrustworthy; they were downright scum. They wanted all her money and her for the night? Unbelievable.
Larry saw right through her. He slapped her hard. "I'm not a nice guy; you'd better get that."
Brenda covered her face, glaring at Larry. "If you do this to me, you won't get away with it."
Larry sneered, "We'll worry about that later."
Seeing Brenda's resistance, he signaled his two buddies. They grabbed her arms and dragged her inside, tossing her onto the bed. But they didn't rape her right away. Instead, they used their old tricks to torture her. She couldn't take it and ended up transferring all the money in her account to them.
Being a Clark Family heiress, her cards had no transfer limits. Larry saw the tens of millions of dollars added to the account and smirked, "As expected of a rich girl, you are quiet loaded. We've never had a taste of high society; tonight's our lucky night."
Brenda's eyes showed disdain. The men she had been with before were all good-looking and high-status. These three were nothing like that. But seeing their expressions, she knew she couldn't escape; resisting might get her beaten. Since she wasn't exactly pure, she resigned herself to her fate.
What Brenda didn't know was that the three were secretly recording a video. They planned to use it to blackmail her again when they ran out of money. Finally, Larry used a special technique to make Brenda pass out. They pulled out a few strands of her hair and put a few drops of her blood into a glass container. Then they left the room.
