Clearly, Nash was on Eric’s side now.

“Sorry, Mr. Simpson. Mr. Wimbledon has more cards to play. He pays better. I’d have to take his side.”

“With all her tangled feelings dragging her intellect down, how was I supposed to put all my chips on Sarah Duran? You’re the one who’s lost this time, Robert!”

Eric sniggered mockingly.

He felt that, with his victory assured, he’d be able to take Robert away immediately.

“Do you think I found out by accident that Sarah might be threatened by you?”

Robert smiled mildly. A thundering rang out from the sky and slowly grew louder.

Eric paled and someone ran out of the warehouse, saying something in his ear. His expression turned ugly.

“You’ve got me this time, Robert Simpson!”

Eric spat, and Robert turned to Boss Nash.

“I never expected you to take my side. Ever since you promised you could work for me, I’d never trusted you fully. There’s already over a dozen helicopters on their way here. My men are going to be raining from the sky any moment now. Want to try me? Let’s see who cast the bigger web here.”

Eric’s face began to distort.

Because he’d had plastic surgery done, his features were particularly contorted when they twisted. This man had always given off an aura of darkness, and it was none clearer than now.

Soon, up to a hundred men in bulletproof vests surrounded the abandoned factory.

Not long afterwards, Jason and Jasper led those men over.

“What do we need to do now, Robert?”

Jasper asked at the side, while Jason outright sneered at Boss Nash, as if mocking his stupidity.

Boss Nash’s face crumbled and he threw the gun to the ground, looking back at the underlings behind him. All of them knelt on the ground and tossed their weapons away.
