Chapter 400 To Get the Number

When the two thieves raised up their heads, they couldn’t help exclaiming, “Mr. Chambers!”

Zachariah furrowed his brows and smiled wryly, “You know me, huh?”

Hearing that, they were rendered much more frightened.

“Mr. Chambers, you are the most illustrious one in the city. As humble as we are, of course your name
has been kept in our hearts.”

Zachariah sat on the sofa moved here by his guards. He crossed his legs, looking casual. Only those
who knew about him could tell that his casually-looking face actually signaled the onset of his horrible
punishment.

Though he seemed to be in a good mood, a storm was actually coming.

“Okay, just tell me. What’s your motivation?” Zachariah clasped his hands and asked.

The thieves were both sweating out of panic. They hurried to fawn and confess, “Mr. Chambers, we
were paid to do that. But we swear we didn’t know it was your son. If we had known it earlier, we would
have never even dared to think about it. Honestly speaking, your name has been renown among the
rich and even the humble. No one could afford to offend the Chambers. So Mr. Chambers, please show
your mercy. We promise we will get the hell out of the city in no time and we will never show up again!”

Zachariah only responded with cold glimpse.

He beckoned the guards with his eyes. As soon as they noticed, they hurried forward to lift the thieves
up and punched them in their belly.

After about a few times of punches, the two thieves could only lie on the ground, whining.



Zachariah fiddled with his own long fingers and said, “It’s just a mere lesson for your attempt to steal
my son. If there were something wrong with my son, something much worse than that would be
expecting you. A wise man should learn to compromise when necessary. Both of you still have chance
to bail yourselves out from more physical pain if you could confess to the name of the culprit. Now just
tell me.”

The thieves really regretted taking this offer out of reward. But they did have no idea who was the one
behind it.

They had been sophisticated in stealing for years and they had never experienced the taste of failure
before. But now they both got caught. What was worse, they were caught by a monster. Now they
realized that they had a price to pay this time.

“Mr. Chambers, that man promised to offer us two hundred thousand when it’s done. But we have no
idea who he is. There is a middleman between. So…”

“Call him. Tell him you get the baby and ask him to take the baby on his own. You know what I mean,
right?” Zachariah still randomly moved his fingers and said lazily. The two thieves kneeling only
seemed to be something worthless in front of him.

“We got it.” The thieves bowed and hit their heads hard on the ground to beg for lives.

One of them took out his phone to call the middleman. But no one answered.

Sweat streamed down their faces out of panic.

“Mr.…Mr. Chambers…no one answers…” The thief was so scared that he kept trembling and almost
dropped the phone.



Zachariah hinted at the two guards again. Then they walked over and were about to lift them up. The
thieves hurried to beg with their hands protecting their heads, “Wait! Please don’t hit us. We can call
another one. There is gonna be someone answering.”

Both the thieves took out their phones to call every number they kept. After quite a while, someone
finally answered.

As soon as they noticed that, they hurried to cry out, “Philip, you bastard! What the hell are you doing?
Why don’t you answer my call? Where is Leo? I need to talk to him right now!”

After hearing the response through the other side of the line, they shouted angrily, “Splash some cold
water on his face to wake him up if he got drunk! Tell him we have got the baby! I mean the baby of
Zachariah! You know what? That guy only offered us two hundred thousand! He must be kidding us!
Hurry! Wake Leo up!”

After a few seconds of pause, the thief speaking through the phone hurried to say to Zachariah, “Mr.
Chambers, please wait a second. He is now waking up the middleman. We will soon get the number of
the one who paid us.”

Zachariah cast him a glimpse, “Don’t ever try to fool me! Whoever dares to do that will see the worst
thing in his life.”

“Of course we never dare to do so…No one dare to play tricks on you, Mr. Chambers.”

Then someone else answered the phone.

“Mr. Chambers, here comes the middleman.” The thief said with low voice while covering the bottom of
the phone.

“Put him on speaker.”



The thief did so and then a loud male voice sounded, “So what’s the situation now, Jacob? Philip told
me that it was the son of Mr. Chambers?”

“Leo, we all got fooled by that guy! The baby is the only kid of the next generation of the Chambers He
is even more valuable than gold! But that guy only offers us two hundred thousand! What the hell is he
thinking? I will never accept such a low price. Tell me his number. Let me negotiate about the price! If
he doesn’t offer a nice price, I am sure the Chambers will. We all know how rich they are.”

“Are you insane? The Chambers are rich, but they are not stupid! Do you think you can afford to offend
Zachariah? It will only bring you a disaster if you dare to negotiate with him. Stop your stupid
daydream! I will tell you his number. Since you got the son of Zachariah, just make use of him to get as
much as possible. When the money is wired to the account, you can get 60% and the rest is for me. As
soon as we get the money, you need to get far away to hide yourself. You should know the
consequence if you got caught by Zachariah.” Obviously, the one answered the phone feared
Zachariah. So he simply read aloud the number. Then he warned the thief that he should never dream
about extracting money from Zachariah with the baby in case they all got involved.

The thief hurried to hang up after getting the number.

“Mr. Chambers, here is the number…” the thief stammered.

Zachariah looked at one of the guards, “Morgan, make a call.”

“Yes, sir.”

Morgan took out his phone to dial the number. Soon, someone answered.
