Robert fell silent, then spoke to his subordinates.
“Imply to them that we’re after Jayson today. See how they react. If they decide to move against us, half of you move in to capture Jayson, while the other half stops them here. If our goals are the same, assist them.”
With Robert’s decision made, the two forces surrounding the café looked at each other.
Robert’s subordinate spoke.
“Our targets are the last two people who went inside.”
Those words went straight to Brenton, who also made a split-second decision.
“They’re not enemies. We can work together. Cooperate with them and take them all down.”
While the two forces confirmed their direction, David smiled at Jayson’s body double.
“These documents are fine. Have you finished your check? Is the money good?”
Sierra smiled.
“Your word is as good as gold, of course, Mr. David. We’ll sign for it right now.”
David smiled and produced the documents that both sides had ready, getting the forms to sign for the stock transfer ready.
At that moment, Jayson’s eyes darted and he looked sensitively towards his surroundings. Rapid footsteps sounded.
“It’s a trap, scatter!”
At that, Jayson turned and got ready to flee, pressing a button to notify others to come assist.
But as he ran towards the secret passage he’d prepared, a group of people surrounded him.
He turned back around only to see people surrounding him on all sides.
Jayson sneered and looked at his pursuers.
“Have your master come out and let me talk with him personally! Otherwise, we can all die here together!”
With that, Jayson ripped open the jacket he was wearing.
Everyone was taken aback. He had a bomb strapped to him.
The man had an actual suicide vest. Both sides reported the news to Brenton and Robert.
Brenton brought Sarah with him over, while Robert and Ivan also rushed over.
In less than ten minutes, both sides met up and cleared up each other’s’ identity right away.
No wonder they moved against Jayson at the same time. Robert greeted Brenton politely.
“What a coincidence today, Mr. Ellis.”
Robert actually didn’t retain too much of his past memories, but after he’d returned to his identity as Robert Simpson, his secretary had given him a document showing the appearance of some of the more important people to know. That was why Robert knew the person who’d come today was Brenton, and the person behind him was Sarah.
“Feigning an opening was a good strategy. Lured out all the pests beside you.”
Brenton had heard the news of Robert’s death as well, but seeing Robert appear before him, he understood that it’d been a strategy to fake his own death.
Both sides smiled at each other, then walked towards Jayson, who was surrounded by security.
Seeing Brenton and Sarah, Jayson wasn’t surprised. He’d guessed that the two were involved today.
Only, seeing Robert by their side, he grinned self-deprecatingly.
“I’ve underestimated you, Robert Simpson. Your faked death actually fooled me.”
Robert smiled faintly.
