laughter.
\n\u201cI\u2019ll give you 100 million if you open the safe,\u201d the billionaire declared \u2014 and the room exploded with laughter. Mateo Sandoval clapped his hands and pointed at the barefoot boy trembling next to the titanium safe.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne hundred million dollars,\u201d he shouted, smiling like a man who fed on cruelty. \u201cAll the money is yours if you crack this beauty. Well? What do you say, little street rat?\u201d<\/p>\n
The five businessmen around him laughed so hard they wiped tears from their eyes.<\/p>\n
For them, it was the perfect spectacle:
\nAn eleven-year-old child \u2014 in torn clothes, with a dirty face \u2014 staring at the most expensive safe in Latin America as if it had fallen from the sky.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is pure comedy,\u201d howled Rodrigo Fuentes, a forty-nine-year-old real estate magnate. \u201cMateo, you\u2019re a genius. Do you really think he understands what you\u2019re offering him?\u201d<\/p>\n
Please,\u201d snorted Gabriel Ortiz, a fifty-one-year-old pharmaceutical heir. \u201cHe probably thinks a hundred million means a hundred pesos.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOr he thinks he can eat them,\u201d added Leonardo M\u00e1rquez, a fifty-four-year-old oil tycoon, triggering another wave of ugly laughter.<\/p>\n
In a corner, Elena Vargas, thirty-eight years old, clutched the mop so tightly her hands were shaking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
