One of the men brought a chair to Wayne. Wayne waved his hand, then stepped back and stopped speaking.
Gable appeared from behind Wayne at that precise moment.
“You can go out now and let us work it out,” he told the two men.
The two men left before they said, “Okay, we’ll wait outside. If you need help, feel free to call us.”
Gabe knelt in front of Elliot and tugged on the rope he was wearing before asking, “Do you know why you’re here?”
“I don’t,” Elliot gritted his teeth, “but I know that it is illegal”
Gable cast him a cold glance and said, “The Wrights’ rules are the law in this city. Since I could bring you here, I can do whatever else I want.
I think you’d better be honest and tell us about what’s going on.”
Elliot shivered and then said, “I have absolutely no idea! I didn’t do anything!”
Then Gabe looked at him and asked, “Tell us, who ordered you to stage the car accident?”
Elliot felt his heart skip a beat and nervously clutched his pants.
“No, I won’t tell you!” he exclaimed when he remembered Richard’s warning.
Hearing that, Gabe stood up coldly, pointed to the chair next to him, and said impatiently, “Do you know what itis? I can force you to sit on it while I pour water on you. I can also make this water freeze. How long do you think your legs can withstand the ice?”
Elliot raised his head and gazed at the chair, which was only a meter away. He had no idea what it was made of and could only see it shining silver in the dim light. The chair’s back was covered in colorful wiring, and two tubes connected to a large bucket on the right.
His eyes widened with surprise, and he asked, “Ah! What are you doing?!”
“We’re going to torture you, of course.”
Saying that, Gabe frowned, grabbed Elliot’s collar, and dragged him to. that chair.
‘•Let go of me!” Elliot began to scream and struggled furiously. The sack and rope, however, had wrapped around him like a cocoon, making it nearly impossible for him to move. And Gabe started dragging him and took a few steps.
In terror, Elliot yelled, his voice echoing in the basement, “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you right now! It’s Richard! Richard asked me to drive a truck and stage a car accident to kill Anna. He promised me that he would help me pay my debt if I make it.”
Hearing that, Gabe frowned and looked back at Wayne. Of course, they knew what Richard’s purpose was: he wanted to take over Gabriel Group but Anna refused to let him do so, which was why he wanted to kill Anna.
Under the dim light, Wayne looked more irritated.
“You f*****g piece of s**t! How dared you try to kill my girlfriend!” he said as he took two steps forward and stomped on Elliot’s face.
‘•Let me go, please! I didn’t want to do thi:
in the first place.”
Fearing that Wayne would beat Elliot to death, Gabe immediately mediated, “We already know what’s going on, Mr. Wright. So, maybe we should let him go now.”
Wayne paused and said, “You don’t need to do it, Gabe. Leave him to those two out there, and they know what to do.”
Gabe sighed, feeling relieved that he wouldn’t have to deal with Elliot himself. He didn’t care what happened to Elliot because that guy deserved it anyway.
They let the two thugs in after they came out of the basement. After a While, Elliot cried out loud in pain but his cries eventually faded away.
Gabe shuddered as he imagined what the two thugs had done to Elliot. In the rearview mirror, he noticed Wayne’s cold expression. He asked Wayne, “What should we do now?”.
“We’ll settle the score with Richard later,” Wayne said slowly.
Wayne turned a blind eye to the horrible things that Richard did for the sake of Peter. Also, Wayne was busy these days, so he didn’t have time to manage the group. So, he thought it would be good to let Richard do his job for a while.
However, by messing with Anna, Richard made a huge mistake. And Wayne would not let him o this time.
