Leo's words made Alan and Lane stare.
This brought many memories back to Alan. It was finally time for him to take revenge.
Lane was also terrified, and it hurt like hell when he thought he would live with one arm missed from now on.
Thud!
He knelt directly and crawled to Elis Burton. With a shivering voice, he begged, "Sir! Please... Please help me. This is all my fault!"
Elis felt pitiful for him, but given the current situation he was faced with, Elis could only reply coldly, "There's nothing I can do."
"Of course there is, Sir! Do you really want to see me live with one arm?"
Lane was so frightened that he climbed on Elis's thigh.
He thought Elis was the only one who could help him.
However, Elis kicked him away and yelled, "Get away from me!"
Then, Elis looked at Leo and explained, "This has nothing to do with me. I've fulfilled my duty so far."
He said and turned away with hesitation.
Leo didn't stop him because he understood that Elis was protecting his own interests.
Elis didn't leave because he was afraid of Leo; he was afraid that Leo did have the strength to challenge him. Leo knew Elis would have him investigated after he left.
Leo was right. As soon as Elis walked out of the J Group, he took out his phone and made a call.
"Investigate Leo Cohen. I wanna know his social background."
His voice was as cold as ice, and there was even a trace of the murderous intention behind it.
He knew the relationship he had struggled to build with the Watts family would end up in vain because of Leo.
Thinking of all the money and energy he had spent on the line made him furious.
"Leo, if I find out that you're no more than an ordinary person, I swear I'll make your wish you were dead!" He whispered with a deep voice.
At the same time, in the office of the J Group, there were only Leo, Alan, and Lane.
Lane was no longer as domineering as he had been. His face was as pale as paper, and his body was shaking out of fear.
After the bodyguards of the Watts family he relied on were driven away, he thought Elis was the only one that could save him. When Elis finally turned his back at him, he finally realized that he had no way to escape.
Bang!
Kneeling down and kowtowing to Leo heavily, he said with extreme horror in his voice, "Mr. Cohen, it's all my fault! Please... don't snap my arm!"
Alan and Justin were so surprised that Lane was kowtowing to save his arm.
However, Leo seemed untouched and said indifferently, "You should've seen your failure when you reckon with me. Were you with your family when exterminating Alan?"
Lane shuddered, his eyes turning desperate. He wasn't sure if Leo was getting back at him for Alan before, but now the answer seemed to be quite positive.
He wasn't the only one who had hit Alan when he was down; most of his family had done that, too.
The Watts family had no sympathy for losers. Incompetent family members were treated no better than their livestock.
"Then that's right."
Leo looked calm. He could read from Alan's reaction that he was right. Leo then said, "An eye for an eye. Alan will do what you did to him. You're only the one he starts this with."
Lane trembled harder and couldn't stop kowtowing. "Mr. Cohen, please spare my life, please!"
However, Leo responded coldly, "You shouldn’t have kowtowed to me."
Lane immediately understood and turned over to kowtow to Alan.
