Chapter 98 Want More Money
The incident where Myrna got injured seemed to have caused little commotion, she received a call from Martin as soon as she got back from the hospital.
“Hello.” Myrna had just changed her clothes and taken a quick shower, her hair still wet and draped over her shoulders. She had a clipboard in her right hand again, finding many tasks less convenient than before.
So, when answering the phone, I simply turned on the speaker and put the phone aside, while opening my laptop.
Wanted to see if there was any news on rare materials from the Scarlet Guild?
“Your hand is injured? Who did this! Was it the Stark family again? Damn, those idiots never stop, do they? They’re taking advantage of the fact that you lived with them for a few years, aren’t they?”
The background noise on the other end of the phone was loud, indicating that he was outside. Martin’s voice was filled with anger.
It seemed as though Myrna had seen him throwing a tantrum and kicking the trash can in front of her.
She switched hands, turning down the volume of her phone a bit to prevent people outside from hearing.
He spoke slowly, “It’s not certain that Stephanie did it, I don’t think she’s that stupid.”
She knew Stephanie, a person who had been pampered since childhood, loved to be the center of attention and couldn’t stand to see

her doing well, but she wasn’t the type of person who acted without thinking.
“Stephanie preferred playing pretend you could say. If you asked her to directly push a steel pipe down the stairs to hit someone, she wouldn’t be able to do it.”
“Who could that be?” Martin paused, couldn’t help but click his
tongue, “Myrna, I didn’t expect you to be quite so detestable. One after another, they either want to disgust you or take your life. Did you stir up a hornet’s nest or what?”
“Maybe I knocked over the trash can.”
Myrna said so, but her eyes were on the message Tiny Waist Complex sent her – Sigma, they replied, the money was less.
“Damn!” She couldn’t help but curse, her forehead veins throbbing uncontrollably..
Martin was over there wailing, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Myrna didn’t have time to deal with her, her eyes glued to the computer screen, with pent–up anger nowhere to vent.
Needed to pay more.
Ha!
Sure enough, she had knocked over the trash can. Recently, the trash seems to have taken on a life of its own!
Myrna laughed in exasperation, going online to reply to the message – “Sigma: Why doesn’t he just rob a bank?”
The message quickly flashed on the computer screen.

Tiny Waist Complex had replied to her message.
Tiny Waist Complex: Boss, you’re joking, right? Robbing a bank is nowhere near as profitable as robbing you.
The corner of Myrna’s mouth twitched, and for a moment, she actually didn’t know how to respond to him.
Indeed, that bank released a nine–digit number.
Rare materials were strictly controlled by every country. Although there were channels on the dark web, the sellers were very mysterious. If you wanted to buy, you had to follow their rules!
Erick’s spine required rare materials, and the little guy’s legs needed the same thing.
Myrna pondered briefly before replying, instructing him to continue engaging with the other party, offering more money. If the other party still wouldn’t budge, she suggested a different approach – not mentioning money and letting the other party set the terms.
After replying to the message, Myrna quickly logged off.
Just like a cellphone, as soon as she exited the chat box, the chat software automatically disappeared from the computer.
On the other end of the phone, Martin was still chattering away, asking what was going on, why there was no response.
Myrna put her laptop back into her backpack before turning to him, “Nothing much, just replied to a message. I’ll handle the school stuff. you don’t need to worry about it. Have you gone to Nemmington?”
She knew that Martin would go to Nemmington every once in a while, she didn’t know why, and she didn’t care.
