Chapter 288
Brandon’s lips curled into a cold smile, but it did not reach his eyes. Gordon was such a villain.
“For me, Savanna is priceless. The Thompson Group is nothing compared with her.”
Gordon was about to say something when his phone rang. He picked up the phone. He heard something from the other end of the line, and the smile on his face froze. In a flash, he quickly calmed down. “They are dead already, and we can’t do anything about it. No need to make a fuss.”
He then hung up.
Gordon looked at Brandon. “My assistant said that Steve and the others took poison. They are dead. Mr. Cassel, I’m sorry. The deal is off.”
Gordon pretended to be sorry.
Brandon clenched his fists. He tried his best not to rush toward Gordon and tear Gordon into pieces.
Someone knocked on the door. Gordon said, “Come in.” Then the door was pushed open, and Leo rushed in.
Leo didn’t expect to see Brandon in Gordon’s office.
Brandon met Leo’s burning eyes and knew that Leo was also furious. Brandon figured that Leo was here for the same thing.
Leo didn’t have time to talk to Brandon. He walked up to Gordon and lowered his voice, “Gordon, Steve, Titus, and the others killed themselves. I heard that you have some medicine that they have just developed. Can you give me some? My sister needs it.”
Gordon glanced at Brandon, who was quietly listening to their conversation.
Gordon said, “Why would your sister need this kind of medicine? Leo, you want it for Savanna, right? I have told you many times already. Savanna and you aren’t a match. She will suck you dry. She will make you doomed…”
Leo did not say anything. He took out a Swiss Army knife and stabbed it into his thigh. Blood gushed out, flowed down his thigh, and dripped onto the floor.
Gordon’s face was pale. He stood up from his chair, and his tone even changed. He said, “Leo, you… What’s this supposed to mean?”
Leo gritted his teeth and endured the pain coming from his thigh. “Gordon, you saved my life before. This is what I owe you.”
Leo pulled out the knife from his thigh, and he stabbed himself with the bloody knife again and again. The sound of the knife stabbing into the flesh was crisp and clear, and the scene was shocking
Brandon looked at the blood on the ground. He narrowed his eyes, and his Adam’s apple rolled. He quickly sent a message.
Leo’s self-mutilation made Gordon furious. Gordon gritted his teeth and roared, “Leo, do you think I’ll give you the medicine just because you do this? That’s impossible.”
Gordon was pissed off. He scolded Leo, “Do you think you can return my favor just like that? I risked my life to dig you out from the dead on the battlefield. How can you repay this favor with a few cuts?”
Bright-red blood dripped down Leo’s thigh. Leo’s body shook due to the pain. He gritted his teeth and held on. “If this is not enough, I can pay you back with my life. But you must hand over the medicine. Otherwise…”.
As Leo spoke, he once again pulled out the knife from his thigh and pointed it at Gordon’s throat.
Gordon was shocked and quickly retreated. Leo closed in step by step. Gordon felt something cold
against his back. He knew he had no way to retreat.
Gordon was good at fighting. Also, Leo was injured. Therefore, Gordon snatched the knife away from Leo easily.
Leo came at Gordon to grab the knife, and Gordon clutched Leo’s throat.
Brandon took photos with his phone.
