Essie bit her lips. "Fine, I'll leave. It's up to you now!"
After seeing that she had called for a taxi, Lothar finally felt at ease. Quietly, he walked further and further away until he ended up in an empty street.
In the end, he came to a dead end. When he turned around, he was surprised to see a man standing in front of him.
The man was looking at him with cold eyes.
Lothar wanted to walk past him, but the man stopped him.
When he stepped to the left, the man would block him from the left. It was the same when he stepped to the right.
As a result, he got mad and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you blocking my way? Have we met before?"
The man in front of him was Reid.
However, Lothar did not point it out.
Now that Reid's drug had not taken effect, Lothar could only stall for time.
If he confronted Reid head-on, he would have little chance to win.
After all, Reid was tall and strong, and he was cunning too.
Reid sneered. "Lothar, have you forgotten who I am? How could a dog not recognize its owner?"
Lothar continued to feign ignorance. "I don't know you. Who exactly are you? How would a man my age know a young man like you?"
Hearing his words, Reid snorted coldly.
He had plastic surgery before, so naturally, he knew Lothar had done something to his appearance too!
And the reason why he had plastic surgery was because of Matthew. Matthew had eyes everywhere that were watching him. Plus, he had done everything he could to find him.
Reid knew since Matthew had gone to such lengths to capture him, Matthew would not let him go easily if he were to fall into his hands.
At the end of his rope, Reid contacted an old friend.
It just so happened that this friend of his was doing plastic surgery for a living. Therefore, he had gotten one and changed his appearance.
"This has nothing to do with you. How did you survive?" He stared coldly at Lothar as he asked.
At that time, he had beaten Lothar into a miserable state. Moreover, he had even thrown Lothar into the sea. Logically speaking, Lothar should not have had a chance to survive at all.
But now, Lothar was right in front of him.
Although he looked completely different like an old man.
However, Reid recognized him immediately.
Because of Lothar's eyes.
An old man's eyes couldn't be this bright. When he saw Lothar for the first time, Reid thought that something was fishy.
Others might not be aware of it, but it was different for Reid. He had been in the business world for many years, and he had gained sharp senses.
Furthermore, there were faint scars on Lothar's neck.
They were at the exact spot where he whipped Lothar.
Therefore, Reid suspected that the man in front of him might be Lothar. He thought that Lothar had changed his appearance for the same reason as himself.
After speaking with Lothar, Reid was even more certain.
Although Lothar had deliberately spoken differently, Reid could tell that his voice was youthful. His voice couldn't belong to a senior.
"Lothar who? I don't understand a word you're saying." Lothar pretended to be confused.
Reid sneered again. "Lothar Cowell, cut the cr*p! You can deceive others with your current appearance, but do you think you can deceive me? You are the pet that I've raised. How would I, the owner, not recognize you?"
Just then, Lothar clenched his fists.
