"Is that a threat?" Barry's tone immediately softened.

Six hundred million? The phone shook in Barry's grasp. He had assumed Harlee, now reconnected with the Sanderson family, a wealthy clan, would not be swayed by money.
Unable to contain his frustration, Barry raised his voice significantly.
"Six hundred million? You couldn't acquire that sum even with a heist! I mean...” But before he could continue, the line went dead.

"I'm making the client wait a bit. After all, isn't this how I ensure our livelihood?" She continued to tease Rhys for a moment longer before casually hitting the answer button, her voice cold. "Transfer the funds to my account, and I'll handle everything else." On the other end of the line, Barry's newfound calm was shattered once again as he was met with a prompt disconnect before he could speak. Harlee certainly had a way with negotiations!
