Chapter 1158 Utterly Dissipated
“I don’t know yet, just wait.” The man replied and left. After going out, he also closed the door. As Leon heard the sound, the door should be unlocked, but he didn’t dare to walk out of the door casually.
While Leon was anxiously waiting for Sage, the police had already come to StandHill Investment Company to investigate. Casper knew that such a thing would happen, so he waited in the office early in the morning and received them here.
The police officer did not make random convictions, but asked Casper if there was any whereabouts of Leon and his party. Casper didn’t know the whereabouts of Leon’s party, so he answered without guilt,
“Officer, what happened? What did Leon do? I can’t contact them now.”
At this time, Casper was indeed relieved, and the police came to the door, at least to confirm that Leon and the others were not arrested.
“We came across an attack during our patrol last night. After being identified by the victim, the attacker was Leon under your command, so we came here to investigate the situation.” The policeman said politely.
“What?! They did such a thing?!” Casper patted the table exaggeratedly, his face full of shock.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
The two policemen glanced at each other. They had dealt with criminals for a long time and knew whether Casper’s behavior was true or not, so the policeman who had just questioned him asked again,
“Are you ignorant of this?”
Casper frowned, and immediately replied, “Of course I don’t know. Leon is usually very impulsive. If I knew he would do such a thing, I would try my best to stop it.”
The policeman smiled and said, “But according to our investigation, the person Leon attacked had a grudge against you. Could it be that you really didn’t know about it?”
“I don’t even know who the victims are, what happened to them?” Casper insisted on acting.
“Nia Davidson and Kevin Berry. You should be no stranger to them,” the police officer still replied mildly, “Fortunately, we showed up in time last night, and they didn’t suffer any harm, but the hired bodyguards suffered a lot. ”
“It’s them?” The expression on Casper’s face changed instantly. From astonishment to indifference, he fixedly looked at the policeman and asked,
“If it’s them, then I’d like to ask you a few questions.”
“Mr. Wood, please.”
“It’s Nia and Kevin who said the attack was done by Leon, right?”
“Right.”
“Did you see Leon and the others appear there with your own eyes?” Casper asked, the corners of his lips twitched.
“No, but Mr. Berry has already identified…”
Casper interrupted the officer before he could finish speaking.
“Since you said just now that I have a grudge against Nia, how can you believe their identification?” Casper said with a sullen face,
“Maybe it was someone else who robbed, and they took the opportunity to blame Leon for the crime, so as to damage the reputation of StandHill. Shouldn’t you consider this?”
“So we are looking for them, and it will be clear when they are found and interrogated.” The policeman replied.
“Then I can only hope that you find them as soon as possible.” Casper crossed his legs and said coldly.
“Then we won’t bother you,” the policeman did know that Casper had issued an eviction order, so he got up to leave immediately, but he didn’t forget to say to Casper before leaving,
“Mr. Wood, if you have news about Leon and the others, please be sure to let us know. Now they are suspects.”
“Naturally.” Casper didn’t even get up, sitting on the sofa and waving his hands.
After the two officers left, Casper immediately took out his cell phone to contact Sage,
“Did you find them?!”
“Mr. Wood, we are still looking for them now,” Sage replied immediately, “I have dispatched all the people, and I believe there will be a result soon.”
“We must find them!” Casper said fiercely, “The police officers have come to investigate just now. Kevin identified Leon as the attacker, and the police are also looking for them. If they find them first, the consequences will be disastrous!”
“Okay, I’ll bring them back as soon as I find them.” Sage responded repeatedly.
“No!” Casper said without thinking.
“Mr. Wood?” Sage was puzzled.
“My grievances with Nia are well known. Even the police suspect that Leon was ordered by me. Don’t you confirm their suspicion by bringing them back now? So you can’t bring them back!” Casper said without hesitation.
“Then what should I do?” Sage asked.
Casper was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice.
“Sage, do you remember what I said to you before? There are priorities and trade-offs. Once Leon and the others come back, it will do us no good. So, once you find them, you can deal with them yourself.”
“This…” Sage was astonished.
“If they were still alive, we wouldn’t be able to clear ourselves of this matter. They were responsible for the task and should have been held accountable. Just follow my orders and everything will be fine. Afterward, Leon’s position will be yours, and I won’t mistreat you!” Casper spoke with increasing harshness, as if the lives of Leon and his companions were nothing more than ants under his feet that could be discarded without any consideration.
Sage remained silent for a long time, seemingly hesitant to accept this command. Casper knew what was on his mind and continued speaking,
“Sage, a man who wants to succeed must be ruthless. I know you have a good relationship with Leon, but you don’t know that he has been embezzling funds from the company in secret. He has already betrayed me long ago. That’s why I am so heartless now. Do you understand my intentions?”
“I understand,” Sage replied heavily after listening to Casper’s words.
“Good, go find them quickly then. I’m waiting for your good news.” Without any doubt in Sage’s abilities or loyalty, Casper quickly hung up the phone.
After ending the call, Sage turned to look at Leon beside him and asked softly,
“Leon, did you hear everything?”
At this moment, Sage was standing in the middle of a hangar where he had been questioned by Leon non-stop since arriving earlier today. But instead of answering directly all along, he had just kept trying to calm him down as well as their other brothers’ emotions until just now when Casper called him on speakerphone. That made it clear how ruthless their leader really was not only towards them but also towards those they followed loyally.
“I’ve thought about it before…” Leon muttered despondently. Although he knew Casper was cruel beforehand, hearing him say such things without hesitation still dealt quite a blow.
“Mr. Wood is really so cruel…” The other brothers also felt uneasy inside and couldn’t figure out why they had followed Casper all these years from USA to Mexico then finally Athegate only ending up like this!
