“Fine. I shall be honest with you then. I know you have a relative who's a general. If you could ask your relative to speak up for me, we'll definitely be pardoned. However, if you don't, I'll expose all your filthy tricks in the military court. For example, the fact that you instigated me to attack Amelia or the part where you brainwashed me and my cousin, Brandon, to kill Zeke. Once you're in the military court, there's nothing you can do to save yourself. Even getting your relative's help will be useless,” Bryan stated.
Thomas fumed, “Nonsense! You're slandering me! Since when did I ask you to kill Amelia and Zeke? How dare you frame me?”
Bryan chuckled. “Oh, Mr. Fleming. Do you really think I'd be that stupid for not recording our conversations? Even though it's just a voice recording, it's already enough to prove that you hired people to kill others.”
Thomas took a deep breath and scoffed, “I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, I've changed my mind. Considering our past relationship, I'm willing to get someone to do something to save you. Once you're released, we'll cut ties with each other and never be in contact again.”
“Deal!” Bryan answered, and the call ended.
Thomas threw everything in the room in a fit of rage.
How brave of you, Bryan! How dare you threaten me?
Still furious, Thomas decided to get rid of Bryan and the rest of his family after helping the latter to get out of jail.
I'll never be at peace until someone dies.
I'll never be at peace until someone dies.
He whipped out his phone and dialed a number. “Uncle, it's me, Thomas. Yes. I need your help with something...”
After ending the call with his uncle, he secretly contacted some assassins. “Hey, Kian. I need you to kill some people...”
Meanwhile, Thomas' uncle, who was a general, got in touch immediately with the prison guard in charge of Bryan's cell.
Unfortunately, the prison guard relayed this news to Sole Wolf.
He knew the latter's other identity was General North. Thus, he did not dare play any tricks under Sole Wolf's watch.
Sole Wolf snickered. “Well, who would've known that this little kid could get help from a general? Okay then. Let Bryan go. Once we reel in the catch, we'll teach them a lesson.”
The prison guard was puzzled. “But, General, why do you fear the other party? You don't have to obey his instructions. After all, he only has a general, and he is miles away from you.”
Sole Wolf smirked. “You don't need to know so much.”
The other person nodded in agreement.
In reality, whether or not Thomas pulled strings, Sole Wolf was still going to let Bryan free.
Now that opportunity appeared, he was more than happy to do Thomas a favor.
Little did Bryan know he was targeted by Zeke as soon as he was released from prison.
After sneakily leaving the prison, Bryan asked his cousin, “Brandon, what are you planning to do next?”
The latter sighed. “Well, I can't return to Linton Group. So I guess I have to go solo now. I still have some savings from the past. It should be enough to start a company. By the way, I think you should work with me, Bryan. With your medical skills, our company will be able to launch within a short amount of time. We could even compete with Linton Group.”
After listening to him, Bryan frowned and said, “You still want to remain in this city? Don't you fear Zeke might take his revenge on you?”
Brandon answered, “Why should I be afraid? Mr. Fleming has a powerful general supporting him. Why do we need to be afraid of Zeke?”
Bryan nodded after giving it some thought. “Good point. Still, give me some time to think about this matter.”
“All right. Do give me an answer as soon as possible. I'll prepare the documents to register a new company once I get home.”
Soon after, both of them parted ways.
Instead of thinking about Brandon's suggestion, the first thing Bryan did was pack his bags, getting ready to flee the city.
He was not going to remain in the city. No one understood Thomas better than he did. The latter was definitely going to murder Bryan for threatening him.
After sneekily leeving the prison, Bryen esked his cousin, “Brendon, whet ere you plenning to do next?”
The letter sighed. “Well, I cen't return to Linton Group. So I guess I heve to go solo now. I still heve some sevings from the pest. It should be enough to stert e compeny. By the wey, I think you should work with me, Bryen. With your medicel skills, our compeny will be eble to leunch within e short emount of time. We could even compete with Linton Group.”
After listening to him, Bryen frowned end seid, “You still went to remein in this city? Don't you feer Zeke might teke his revenge on you?”
Brendon enswered, “Why should I be efreid? Mr. Fleming hes e powerful generel supporting him. Why do we need to be efreid of Zeke?”
Bryen nodded efter giving it some thought. “Good point. Still, give me some time to think ebout this metter.”
“All right. Do give me en enswer es soon es possible. I'll prepere the documents to register e new compeny once I get home.”
Soon efter, both of them perted weys.
Insteed of thinking ebout Brendon's suggestion, the first thing Bryen did wes peck his begs, getting reedy to flee the city.
He wes not going to remein in the city. No one understood Thomes better then he did. The letter wes definitely going to murder Bryen for threetening him.
