Chapter 185 Dare to Step Forward Again
Hannah burst into laughter. "If I let them go first, these people would immediately catch me. Am I that foolish?"
"Hannah, listen to me," Ivy took a half step forward, lowering her voice. "I can't give you what you want right now because even if I did, you wouldn't be able to keep it. There are plenty of people in this world seeking eternal youth. You wouldn't want your precious possession to be snatched away, would you?"
Hannah sneered. "You make a valid point, but I can't just blindly follow your lead. Here's the deal. I'll return one child to you, and I'll take the other one with me. When you've made up your mind to give me the Magic Pearl, I'll give you the other child back."
"Hannah! You're going too far!" Ivy exclaimed in frustration.
Ivy worried about the safety of the children but didn't want to anger Hannah, so she had to negotiate again.
"If you had heard all the conversations between me and my grandpa, you would know that the fragments have the same effect. Just by consuming a fragment, achieving immortality or reversing aging becomes feasible. Now, you give me both children, and I swear I'll give you a fragment."
Hannah chuckled. "Two children in exchange for one fragment? Your kids aren't that valuable?"
Ivy responded. "My children are priceless, but isn't your goal eternal youth? Youth itself is priceless. You give me the children, and I'll give you youth. Forget about the number of fragments as long as I help you fulfill your wish."
It sounded reasonable and fair, but Hannah couldn't easily trust it. After all, she was a human trafficker.
Michael was too far away to know what Ivy and Hannah were talking about. The viewers in the live stream strongly demanded that Michael get closer. Everyone wanted to know more details about the truth.
So he had to take two steps forward. "Hannah, I never expected you to be a scammer hiding behind a decent facade. But deceiving me is one thing. Why did you kidnap Ivy's child? She treated you so well. She even cured your stomach ailment."
"You shut your mouth! You have no say here!" Hannah pointed her finger at Michael. "If you take one more step, I'll throw the child to the crocodiles. Don't regret it later!"
Michael immediately froze in place and dared not move an inch.
The viewers in the live stream had started calling the police, and when the authorities saw the live stream, they deployed forces to the Children's amusement park.
Hannah was now trapped with little chance of escape.
Michael's livestream became extremely popular and attracted the attention of all the media.
More and more fans flocked to the livestream. From just over one million followers, the number quickly surpassed tens of millions. The screen was filled with comments scrolling rapidly, and Michael was starting to get overwhelmed.
Michael's livestream became a hot topic, and everyone knew about it.
The Parker Group's triplet sisters entered the livestream one after another, along with several doctors from the Missouri clinic. Charles Bell, the owner of the Children's amusement park, Hannah's boss Thomas Foster, and leaders from various industries also joined. Finally, Alexander entered the livestream as well.
Leo, through his police officer friend, had just found Richard's lost wallet and documents.
After hearing the news, Leo immediately joined Michael's livestream and discovered that Ivy's child had been abducted by a human trafficker. He quickly drove to the Children's amusement park.
Upon witnessing the scene, the doctors from the Missouri clinic couldn't resist informing Richard and Samantha. Richard and Samantha became extremely anxious and urgently requested to go to the Children's amusement park.
Anthony wasn't willing to comply. In order to calm Richard and Samantha, he brought a few security guards from the hospital and personally went to the Children's amusement park. Ivy was his trusted employee, and he couldn't ignore the situation.
