Another one of his subordinates came and reported again, "There's a cocky old man out there, saying that h e is going to bomb this place to the ground if we don't hand Mrs. Poole over."
"..." Alex glanced at Jane and found that her expression seemed to have wavered briefly.
Huron, Cindy, and Orla, who were about to be dragged out and buried alive, started shouting in unison.
"Master Alex, I can make it up to you!"
"Master Alex, I know Lenny."
"Master Alex, Lenny is my man. I can help deal with him..."
"..." Alex did not respond to the three but instead raised his arm as a sign to his men. "Lock them all in the living room and follow me out to see what's going o n! If this is just another local scum like Huron, we'll take care of him as well so that I won't have to come back here to White Ocean again!"
After that, Alex took off his black jacket and handed it over to Garrett before lifting Jane up into his arms and wrapping her up with his jacket. He then headed out with her in his arms.
Jane's expression remained blank and she had completely stopped struggling because she thought
that she was going to die anyway.
Alex carried Jane outside the mansion and saw a man who looked even older than Huron, standing arrogantly beside his car.
Seeing that Alex was stepping out with Jane in his arms, the old man roared, "Where did an *sshole like you come from? I'mma chop you up to pieces, don't doubt it!"
It was precisely at that moment that Lenny realized what gave Cindy the courage to run from him and into Huron's arms so blatantly; he had also realized why Huron had agreed to take Cindy this time. It was because both Cindy and Huron knew that Master Alex of Kidon City was coming to White Ocean City. Lenny was the only one who did not know.
Huron and Cindy were planning on getting him killed at the hands of Alex!
At that moment, Lenny suddenly felt grateful toward the little pregnant lady. He had truly been interested i n her, but it was not something of import. He simply felt like it was not easy for a man in his seventies like him to find a woman he liked, so he could not put up with the fact that Huron had taken her away. On top o f that, he had put up with Huron for his entire life and no longer wanted to tolerate him, and therefore wanted to fight Huron over the pregnant lady. Never had Lenny imagined that Huron and Cindy secretly kidnapped Jane and brought her there with the sole purpose of luring him there and getting him killed as h e faced the power of Alex Poole.
"Hurry! Go!" Jane shouted.
Without hesitation, Lenny turned around and got into his car before fleeing hastily.
