The motorcade drove into a three-story building in the hotel. As soon as the car stopped, six men in black suits got out of the two cars. Five of them stood around William's car, and one walked into the building to meet with more than ten people inside. After confirming that it was safe, William walked into the hotel under the protection of the crowd.
When he arrived at the residence on the third floor, William looked at his suite with some dissatisfaction. Other than the big room, there was nothing else that caught William's eye.
The only good thing about the suite was that there was a beach and the sea outside. After looking at the scenery for a while, Christmas knocked on the door and walked in. "Boss, I've brought him here. Do you want to see him now?"
"Wait a moment. Christmas, take someone to the branch of the Swiss National Bank in Freetown. Someone will be waiting for you there. Help me withdraw five million dollars."
Christmas nodded and said, "Okay, boss."
William called his exclusive account manager at the Swiss National Bank, Felix, and asked him to prepare the money. After hanging up the phone, William ate something and took a shower. He walked out of the suite and saw Solomon in the living room.
Solomon, who was daydreaming, was thinking about an hour ago. He had just sent off a client at the entrance of the hotel and was about to return to the lobby when he was stopped by three big men in suits and sunglasses.
The sudden appearance of the three two-meter-tall men scared him half to death. Before he could calm down, he heard a voice behind him. "Sorry to disturb you."
Solomon quickly turned around and saw a bald man in a suit staring at him curiously. Being stared at by four big white men, Solomon lowered his head and stammered, "Are you talking to me? Sir. "
"Yes." Christmas nodded. "What's your name?"
"S-Sir, I'm Solomon Fandi. What can I do for you?"
"Hmm? You're Solomon Fandi? " Christmas finally understood why William wanted to see this black man, who was nothing special except for being a little strong. He smiled and said, "Mr. Fandi, please come with me. Someone wants to see you."
After saying that, Christmas gestured for them to follow and led them to the back of the hotel.
Seeing that Christmas had left without him, Solomon hurriedly said, "Sir, are you mistaken? I'm just a doorman carrying bags." Before he could finish, Solomon was pushed by a polar bear behind him. "Follow him."
Being stared at by three men in black suits who were much stronger than him, Solomon had no choice but to follow them.
With a heavy heart, Solomon followed Christmas and the others to the innermost independent guest room building of the hotel. He carefully followed Christmas into the living room outside the suite on the third floor, only to be scared to death by the dozens of expressionless bodyguards holding weapons in the living room.
.....
After taking a shower, William waited until Christmas came back with the money before calling Solomon in.
As soon as Solomon entered the door, he saw a handsome man who was 1.9 meters tall standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking at him with a wine glass.
As soon as Solomon came in, he knew that William was the boss. Barney and Christmas were both in suits and ties, only William was wearing casual clothes. He quickly bowed to William and said, "Hello, dear sir, I'm Solomon Fandi. What can I do for you?"
William didn't talk nonsense with Solomon and said directly, "Tell me where the pink diamond is, and the money is yours."
He reached out and took out 200,000 dollars from a big bag on the table in front of him and threw it on the table.
Looking at the stack of dollars casually thrown on the table, Solomon's heart was warm and his breathing was a little rapid. He stuttered, "S-S-Sorry, sir, I-I-I don't know what you're talking about."
William chuckled, "No, you know what I'm talking about. Maybe you don't know who I am. Let me introduce myself, Mr. Fandi. My name is William Devonshire, an Englishman, the heir of the Earl of Oxford, a billionaire worth more than 10 billion dollars.
So, Mr. Fandi, please rest assured that I won't take the diamond from you, because what I need is not the stone, but you. "
William's words made Solomon so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. With his lack of knowledge, he couldn't think of what a super-rich man like William would want other than the pink diamond. What else could William want from him?
The cautious Solomon thought for a few seconds and shook his head, "Mr. Devonshire, I'm just a doorman. I've never heard of any diamonds. You've got the wrong person."
"Okay," William interrupted Solomon, "Tell me what you want. As long as it's not too much, I can promise you anything. I can even help you find your wife and children. "
When Solomon heard that William could help him find his wife and children, he couldn't keep up the facade on his honest face. He took a few steps forward excitedly, but before he could get within three meters of William, he was pushed back to his original position by Barney.
Barney unbuttoned his suit and revealed the holster on his waist. He said, "I'm warning you, stand there and don't move. Otherwise, if you make any dangerous moves, I'll shoot you directly."
"I-I understand, sir." When Solomon saw the short gun on Barney's waist, he panicked and shouted incoherently, "I'm sorry, sir. I promise I'll stand here and not move."
"Okay, Barney, don't scare our Mr. Fandi." William walked to Barney's side and patted him on the shoulder.
Barney knew William's skills. When he saw the tall and strong Solomon's agitated expression, he subconsciously warned Solomon.
When he heard William's words, Barney nodded at Solomon. This made Solomon, who was frightened by the gun, thank Barney. He then stood upright and said, "Mr. Devonshire, can you really help me find my family?"
"Haha, Mr. Fandi, please believe in the power of money. As long as your family is alive, I can help you find them."
Looking at the big bag of US dollars on the table and thinking about his family that he had been separated from for almost a month, Solomon didn't think for long and said firmly, "As long as you can help me find my family and take us out of this country, I'll take you to find the pink diamond for free."
William smiled and said, "Solomon, I said I won't take your pink diamond. According to the black market price, the price of a blood diamond in Sierra Leone is 10% of the normal price. I'll give you 3 million dollars for that diamond. At the same time, as long as you're willing to do me a favor, I'll send your family to live in seclusion in Switzerland or England."
Such generous conditions made the excited Solomon calm down. He asked worriedly, "Mr. Devonshire, what can a person like me help you with?"
William didn't answer Solomon's question. Instead, he asked, "Has anyone come to you recently because of the diamond?"
"Ah," Solomon said in surprise, "Yes, yesterday I met a white man in the slums outside the city. He asked me about the diamond. I didn't dare to tell him and ran away."
"Very good, Solomon. What I want you to do is to bring the person who is looking for you to the place I specify. In order to show my sincerity, I'll first help you find your family there."
"Really? God, Mr. Devonshire, as long as you can find my family, I'm willing to do anything for you, even if I have to die, "Solomon swore with an unusually excited expression.
"Haha, don't worry, Solomon. I don't need you to die. As long as you can act in front of some people, it'll be fine."
"Act?"
"Yes, act," William said with a smile.
