“Ahhhh!” the dead silence in the office was soon broken by Lane’s shout of collapse.
Ruffling his own hair, he was hit hard by the huge blow. His face was rendered ghastly pale while his eyes were deadly frozen.
He felt like falling down to the hell from the heaven.
Both Alan and Justin fixed their eyes on him, who was kneeling on the ground and crying loud. And then they shifted their gaze to Leo, who still maintained a composed face. At this moment, they couldn’t help shivering.
Reggie, who had been standing beside, took a look at Leo, feeling too stunned to chill himself again.
He had never expected this young lad actually appeared to be so horribly scheming. Even though as a sophisticated one, he couldn’t help shivering at the same time.
Actually, almost everyone here, even including Reggie himself about five minutes ago, had assumed that Lane would be the final winner. And that was what they were most surprised at and most scared of.
However, Lane’s chance to win had gone zero from the very beginning. He was nothing but a pawn playing as part of Leo’s plan. All his efforts were just a stepping stone for Leo.
“Okay, since it’s over, then, please do as required.”
Leo smiled and gestured to Lane.
But he suddenly stood up and turned to look at Reggie, “Reggie, he was playing dirty! He looted my votes! He’s breaking the rule!”
Leo simply smiled, “Lane, stop struggling. You ain’t wanna give in, huh?”
Reggie shook his head, “There was no rule set before the bet. So the way to gain victory has no limit.”
Hearing that, Lane knew his last hope to turn the table had gone. His face went pale again.
Both Alan and Justin took a look at each other, breathing a sigh of relief. Their tension finally eased after the seemingly unchangeable result had been announced.
From their perspective, it was so breathtaking that their heart almost stopped beating at the moment of final announcement.
With his expression mixed with madness and awkwardness, Lane suddenly wore a twisted face, “Leo, don’t ever dreaming about getting the position of chairman even after you have won the bet with dirty tricks!”
Leo’s smile gradually faded away. His eyes revealed a tinge of violence, “You wanna go back on your promise?”
“I have been managing the group for years! My power has been deeply rooted here! Now you want me to quit?” Lane revealed a murderous look, “Get the hell out of here with them unless you wanna get killed.”
“How dare you!”
“Wanna play tough, huh?”
Sullen, Alan strode over to Leo.
Justin also kept a violent look in his eyes.
Reggie, standing beside to watch with an emotionless face, didn’t even get surprised at Lane’s attempt to go back on the promise. Meanwhile, he couldn’t help looking at Leo, wondering what this lad would do to tackle it.
Leo smiled, “You didn’t seem to have a clear understanding about the situation. According to the bet, you are not only required to give away the group, but have one of your arms amputated.”
Hearing that, Lane was burning with evil intention of murder. He said horribly, “You are the one lack of clear understanding about the situation, I suppose. This is my territory. Do you think I am gonna stand by for your disposal?” after saying that, he clapped his hands and soon a group of tough guys rushing in to surround the three of them while pointing at their heads with pistols.
The air smelt deadly dangerous in a blink.
“Lane, stop! Never tryna do anything to the one backing me up!” Alan stepped forward to face Lane with rage.
“The one backing you up? Come on, I don’t even know you have been so humble right now.” Lane showed strong disdain within his eyes. He continued arrogantly, “You named a wimp playing dirty tricks the one backing you up?”
But when he noticed the nervous face of Alan, he let out a weird smile, “Okay, forget about it. Alan, if you do care about this pussy, why don’t you bear it for him?”
As soon as he finished, those pistols sounded loud as they were directed to Alan.
A shiver went down Alan’s spine. But soon he chilled himself again when her unborn daughter suddenly came to his mind.
He turned around to look at Leo, who still remained calm as usual. “Mr. Cohen, please leave as soon as possible. And take care of my daughter.”
After that, he headed straight forward to those tough guys.
Surprised, Lane noticed an unflinching look from his face even when he was facing death.
