You Can Have Them

_"Sir, should I withdraw extra?"_

A voice only Nathan could hear spoke directly to him. This voice is an artificial intelligence built into Nathan for multiple assistance.

Mr. Brown: "What, cat got your tongue? Look, there are people whom you don't mess with even in this hell of a world we live in. Just hand over these girls, and I can leave your poor ass alone. Usually, I don't need your permission, but I'm giving you my respect, so this should be a dream come true for you."

_"100 billion has been withdrawn, sir. Would you like me to withdraw the rest, sir?"_

Nathan: "Don't. I still want him to have something left in his account."

Nathan replied silently.

Amidst the commotion, a waiter went straight to table Number 18, where Mr. Brown was having his meeting with his guests, and offered them drinks.

Waiter: "Care for some champagne, wonderful sirs?"

"Ah, yes, we can have some. Thank you!"

Waiter: "My pleasure."

After offering them glasses of champagne, he left their presence and spoke silently.

Waiter: "Code red is intact."

These words caught Keith's ears, causing him to adjust his eyes slowly to look at the waiter and do the same to the guests who were with Mr. Brown.

Natasha: "Nathan, I think we should leave. Don't you think?"

Mr. Brown: "Nah, you ain't going nowhere, and why are you making this difficult for yourself?"

_"800 Billion Completely Withdrawn."_

Nathan: "Alright, fine, then take them if you have the money."

Natasha, Rose, and Stella were all stunned and couldn't believe what they heard. The same goes for everyone else in the restaurant.

Mr. Brown: "Now we're talking. See, things are now easy as they should have been, yeah?"

Natasha, now furious, went straight towards Mr. Brown and wanted to slap him hard but was pulled back by Nathan.

Stella: "Let's call the police to come deal with this."

Mr. Brown: "Try that, and let's see what happens. B*tch, I own the police!"

Mr. Brown then looked at table number 18 where he left the guests and called out to his secretary.

Mr. Brown: "Hey, Lana, get your ass out here."

His secretary, Lana, then hurried to her boss Mr. Brown.

Lana: "You called for me, Mr. Brown?"

Mr. Brown: "Yes, get a check... No, no, call the office and ask them to bring 200 billion in cash."

Lana: "Yes, Mr. Brown, I'll do just that."

Everyone became shocked by the words that came out of Mr. Brown's mouth and couldn't believe it at all. Of course, the people going in and out of the restaurant were all rich men and women of different kinds, but none were up to Mr. Brown; they wouldn't dare to spend that much money on a useless matter.

After the order, Lana moved away from their midst and went out to make a call, but at this time, Keith was watching. He seemed to notice a group of restaurant workers going about, both on the top floor and ground floor where he was.

After some time passed, Lana worked straight to Mr. Brown with a very worried face.

Lana: "Mr. Brown, there seems to be a problem."

Mr. Brown: "And what might that be?"

Lana: "Sir, we don't have that much money to account for."

Hearing this made Mr. Brown and everyone confused. Why would he bet that kind of amount if he doesn't have such an amount.

Mr. Brown: "What do you mean we don't have that much?"

Lana: "Sir, I was told by the office that there's nothing in your current and savings account and also..."

Before Lana could finish speaking, she felt a hard slap that knocked her to the ground.

Mr. Brown: "What the hell are you saying? How can I, the CEO of Rise-Corp, not have anything in my account?"

Lana, with tears and fear in her eyes, couldn't summon the courage to tell Mr. Brown anything.

Mr. Brown: "Answer me!"

Lana: "Sir, I was told that you withdrew everything in your account yesterday at exactly 9 pm. As to why you did that, I don't know, sir."

Mr. Brown at this point, was very furious and confused. He doesn't remember withdrawing money from his account yesterday, and neither does he remember the reason for the withdrawal. While all this was going on, Natasha, Rose, and Stella seemed to be enjoying the show currently in session.

Mr. Brown: "Is this some kind of a joke you're playing? So you're telling me I have nothing at all??!"

Lana couldn't say anything more, so she just sat down on the floor and kept quiet. Mr. Brown, seeing this, hissed and stretched his hands into his pocket to pick up his phone.

Mr. Brown: "I'll call the office myself and ask about what's going on. And if I find out you're playing a silly joke on me, I'll make sure to get you jailed."

He then stretched his hands to his other pockets but couldn't find his phone.

Mr. Brown: "F*ck, I left my phone at the table."

Then he hurried straight to the table, which was the table he left his guests at. As he was on his way to the table, he bumped into a waiter who was also in a hurry.

Mr. Brown: "Hey, watch where you're f*cking going, you poor piece of sh*t!!"

Waiter: "I'm sorry, sir. I was in a hurry to attend to some other guests, and I bumped into you, so please forgive."

Mr. Brown: "Yeah, yeah, get out of my sight!"

This made Keith even more suspicious of the workers working at the restaurant, so he stood up from his seat and tried to confront the waiter who Mr. Brown had bumped into, but he was held back by Nathan, who thought Keith was going after Mr. Brown to cause trouble.

A few seconds passed, and Mr. Brown arrived at his table to pick up his phone.

"Are you done, Mr. Brown? What happened there?"

Mr. Brown: "I'll attend to you later. For now, leave me alone to my business."

After searching around the table for some time, he found his phone and dialed his office's number, but there was no connection all of a sudden. This made Mr. Brown extremely furious.

Mr. Brown sir, why don't you have a drink to cool down your mind before continuing?

Mr. Brown was furious, but after hearing those words, he couldn't refuse the request his guests made to him.

Mr. Brown: "Alright, fine, a little drink won't hurt."

He then stretched his hand towards the glass of wine sitting on the table and grabbed it with calm fingers. But as he raised the glass to receive it into his mouth, a string attached to the bottom of the glass severed.

**BOOM !!!** 💥💥💥

From inside the restaurant was a large explosion that brought down the entire three-storey building to the ground. Dust and debris filled the air as chaos ensued. People screamed, and emergency alarms rang, creating a scene of panic.
