Money Only to Burn

Chapter 114

Annebelle Swift never expected Cyril Woodley to kick Mateo Swift. Once again, he felt touched because he was protecting her.

Mateo was furious. How can he let a poor redneck kick him in front of his new girlfriend?

He must regain his dignity.

"Basic moron! How dare you kick me! I'll make you pay for this!" Mateo got up and charged towards Cyril.

"You want to teach me a lesson?" Cyril scorned.

As Mateo charged towards her, Cyril turned her body, ducked, then kicked her butt hard again. Mateo was thrown to the ground like a puppet.

There was no way a Mateo playboy could fight Cyril who practiced martial arts every day.

"I'll kill you!" Mateo is not tired. He got up and attacked Cyril again.

Cyril dodged Mateo's blow by turning his head slightly, while his fist landed right on Mateo's face.

That great power bounced Mateo back to the floor. He groaned and blood dripped in his mouth.

"More?" Cyril asked.

Mateo struggled to wake up. He looked at Cyril in fear. He knew he couldn't win Cyril alone.

But in his heart he did not accept defeat.

"You won this time you fool, but just wait, I'll repay you! And you, Annebelle, the basis of*****, I will expel you from the Swift clan! "

Mateo limped with the woman trailing behind him in a panic.

"Cyril, are you okay?" Annebelle asked with concern.

"It's okay, he can't hurt me."

Cyril said lightly, "Let's eat!"

Annebelle nodded.

He's a little worried.

Mateo will probably do something stirring between him and his family after this incident.

Worst of all, Cyril is in this drama.

Well, first to enjoy the food and take a walk with Cyril. He could worry about it later.

Reed Rolfe called Cyril at night. Todd confessed. It was Mateo Shaprio who had paid Todd to do the job.

The Payton family has also sent mediators to negotiate Todd's release.

"I'll be there in a minute. Don't let anyone go." Cyril is happy that Todd has confessed and the Paytons are finally here to negotiate.

Time to make some luck out of them.

Cyril sent Annebelle back then headed to Gaston's Tavern.

The sun had just set and was still quite empty. Cyril headed straight to Reed's VIP room.

When Cyril entered the room, it was filled with Reed's men.

"Hello Mr. Woodley." Reed stood up to welcome Cyril.

"Where are the Paytons?" Cyril asked as his eyes swept across the room.

Not far from there, he saw a middle-aged elderly sitting on a golden sofa. The old man was wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit. His eyes were bright and alert.

Behind him stood two bodyguards in black. They looked solemn and cold.

"This is Paytons housekeeper, Zavier Payton. He was the most trusted man from Payton. " Reed introduces.

Zavier Payton was a little surprised because Cyril was so young.

Moreover when Reed, had been a powerful figure in the gangster underworld for over twenty years, respected Cyril.

"Hmm.. This guy isn't as simple as he looks." Zavier thought to himself.

In honor of his age, Cyril took the initiative to come forward to welcome Zavier.

"Mr Woodley, it's amazing that you're so capable at such a young age." Zavier gave Cyril a compliment. Todd is a cautious man.

For him failing is rare. He was caught a second time by Cyril.

Few people in Chinsy can fool Todd.

"I'm lucky. I don't like people who touch me. They need to be taught a lesson for that."Cyril smiled.

"I came in the name of Paytons. Please show mercy to Todd Payton, Mr. Woodley. " Zavier was low on his request.

So Todd is actually one of the Paytons!

His full name is Todd Payton. Still, Cyril would not let it go so easily just because of that.

"I have no problem returning Todd Payton to you. Before I hand it to you, I need to be compensated for the huge loss I suffered because he ruined a lot of my plans." Cyril sat down to discuss with Zavier.

Cyril had done PR the day before. He knows the assets, property and power of the Paytons.

The Paytons has most businesses in Chinsy, including F&B, hospitality, entertainment and real estate industries.

They have a profitable business because they monopolize the industry.

Housing in the northern district is dominated by the Paytons, Merlangas and Whartons.

Anyone trying to penetrate the district's real estate will face opposition from three families who banded together to boycott competitors, even against big conglomerates like DH Enterprises.

Cyril will seize the great opportunity that Todd Payton presents to him.

"Mr Woodley, if we pay a million dollars, are you willing to release Todd Payton?" Zavier asked.

"One million? That's too little. I know he's been a cruel man. Many people came out to catch him. I think he's worth at least two million. " Cyril smiled coldly.

He knew Todd was dead meat if he fell into the hands of his enemy.

"Mr Woodley, name your treasure. I'll agree to what's within my abilities." Zavier frowned.

He looked straight into Cyril's eyes, as if he wanted to read what he had in mind.

"I want Payton's Carinal Realty in the northern district. I'm not sure if you're willing to split Carinal Realty for Todd Payton."

Cyril wanted to use Carinal Realty to establish his foothold in the real estate industry in the north.

"Mr Woodley, you must be kidding me. Carinal is worth at least half a billion. " Zavier frowned.

"I have stated my terms. It is up to you to decide whether you agree or disagree.

Cyril was undaunted.it was a golden opportunity. He won't let go.

Zavier.

Cyril Woodley is out to get the biggest share.

"Mr Woodley, this is quite an exorbitant price to pay. Aren't you afraid of reprisal from Payton? "

Zavier tried as a last resort. Cyril doesn't really care about who the Paytons are. "I'm sorry."

Seeing Cyril indifferently, he recalled the respectful attitude Reed showed towards Cyril, he softened his approach.

"Mr Woodley, let me go back to report this to Mr. Payton and I will avenge you"

"Sure, please." Cyril answered.

Zavier then circled around a quiet place to call his boss.

Cyril sat on the sofa leisurely and waited for their answer.

Zavier returned shortly. He said calmly to Cyril, "Tan Woodley, Mr. Payton has agreed to your terms. Please visit Carinal Realty headquarters to sign the contract in person."

"Signing the contract in person?" Cyril frowned.

What tricks does Paytons do?

Reed is concerned too.

"Mr Woodley, that's their territory. If you go there personally, it's very dangerous."

"Mr Woodley, are you afraid?" Zavier smiles.

"No, not at all, I will personally go sign a contract at Cardinal Realty." Cyril cool.

"Mr Woodley, indeed a very impressive man. The meeting is arranged the day after tomorrow. We'll see Mr. Woodley there." Zavier.
