Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance - Chapter 302

=====

While Tyler was dealing with the aftermath of the mess Kris made… Kris was dealing with the unexpected half of the item he had been searching for.

Kris glared at the half… as everyone else in the room just stood silent. They felt like a single movement will be the death of them.

After a long time, Kris burst into a loud laugh.

Tye widened his eyes and nudged Collin. “Are we going to die…?” He whispered.

Collin rolled his eyes.

“Do you want to die…” Kris stood up and walked over to Tye. “If everyone were to die… you would be the first one. You’re the most useless one.”

“….” Tye swallowed. What is he talking about… if it was not for his good matchmaking skills, would Kris still be a virgin boy?!

“Where is the other half?” Kris looked at Keso.

“I.. don’t know. Tyler Huang must have moved it awhile back even without his father knowing. Not even Becca nor any of our spies knew of it.”

“I guess a he’s somewhat smart…” Kris praised Tyler. “It’s kinda fun… knowing that your opponent will be somewhat of a challenge.”

“What would you want us to do now?”

“I—” Before Kris could answer the call, his phone rung. He looked at the caller ID and it was Gary’s. Shouldn’t he be with Lena right now…?

He picked up the phone.

“Hello.”

“…” Kris did not reply immediately. “Where is he?”

“He’s fine.”

“And what makes you think I should believe just that.. Tyler?”

“I am fine, Kris…” Gary’s voice was heard.

“See, he’s fine,” Tyler spoke.

“I didn’t think you would go offensive already.” Keso smiled and sat down on the sofa while Keso immediately left. Just from that short response, Keso knew that he had to head to Gary right away.

“Didn’t you force my hands…?” Tyler chuckled. “I would of went to visit Lena… but you have her locked tight… so I went for the second-best choice.”

“Go ahead… do whatever you want with him.”

“You don’t seem very concern for him. That’s alright. You won’t care for him but Lena does. Just one call and she would be running over here.”

“You—” Kris finally understood what Tyler was doing. It was true that Tyler could not get to Gary and Kris could care less about him… but not Lena.

“You choose, Kris… bring me the item back… or just give me back the stocks you have been buying. I’ll be here.”

“Why would I be there again? You genuinely have feelings for my girl… you wouldn’t lay a single finger on her. That being said… she would kill you before I do. Using Lena as a bait to get to me won’t work.”

“That’s true… but you killed my father and bomb my facility… What makes you think I am emotionally stable to consider my feelings for her?”

“Please… Kill him. If you found Gary… then you must know who his father is. You won’t be making an enemy with me, Tyler… but with the entire Sanders family and the Chen gang. So go ahead… kill him.”

“Or I can just hand him over to his father. Heard the old man had been looking for his son.. whom you hid so well.” Tyler smiled. He was not going to lose this round. “Be here in 15 or else… it’s Lena who will be here and I can’t promise anything then.”

“Kris, Lena can’t get go out of the house. There’s—” Gary shouted but Tyler smacked the man and gagged his mouth.

“15 minutes.” Tyler confirmed and hung up the call. He threw the phone onto the floor and his men tied up Gary.

He took a seat on the sofa and looked at the clock. “He’ll be here.” He smiled.

Tyler was correct. After the call ended, Kris sighed and grabbed his coat.

“Are you really going to go?” Collin asked.

“I promised Gary that I’ll protect Lena… and for Lena, that I will protect Gary. This is my mess, both of them don’t need to be involved. Plus… I only bought the stocks just as a bargaining chip… the stupid company is worthless to me.”

“I’ll come with you.”

Kris nodded and smiled. He knew that even if he said no, Collin would still follow him.

“I’ll go too.” Lay replied. He took out his gun and kissed it. “It’s been a while since I shot someone.”

“Aiya! This is so beautiful…” Tye scratched his head. “Guess, I’ll go too…”

“What?!” Kris stared at him. “What are you going to do…. be bait? You can’t even shoot a gun.”

Kris walked out first as Collin followed him, then Lay.

“HEY! I… I can shoot a gun…” Tye ran after them.

“Says the person who won’t eat meat…”

“AHHHH!” Tye screamed. They were bullying him. Just they wait… he knows the perfect way to get back at them.

When they got to the car, Collin drove as Kris took shotgun. Lay continued to bully how Tye.

After 10 minutes they arrived at Gary’s place. Keso already took down the men that Tyler had defending outside.

“I don’t know how many men are inside… the cameras are off,” Keso reported when the rest of the team arrived.

“And our men who’s suppose to be taking care of this place…?” Kris looked around.

“….” Keso did not reply. That could only be mean one thing… dead.

“Let’s go.” Kris walked to the elevator and pushed it for Gary’s floor.

When they arrived, as if Tyler had been spying on them since they arrived, the door was already opened for them.

Kris casually walked in, no fear at with all the guns pointed at him. He spotted Tyler sitting on the sofa crossed legged and drinking something.

“You’re early.” Tyler greeted him.

“Earlier this is over, earlier I can go home. Unlike you, I have someone waiting for me at home.”

“Is that so..?” Tyler smiled. “Does she know what you have been doing lately? Probally not, huh? Will she leave you… if I tell her?”

“Where is he.” Kris changed the topic.

“In his bedroom. He does not need to hear this.”

Kris nodded at Keso and Keso went to check the bedroom. Gary was indeed alright but just tied to the chair and hidden in his room.

Gary was struggling and shouting, but no one could understand what he was saying. Keso tried to walk in, but one of Tyler’s men blocked him. He closed the door on Keso.

“The item first… then the boy is yours,” Tyler said.

Kris tossed the folder onto the table in front of Tyler. “Those are the 10% of shares that I bough plus the 20% that I own. With that and what your father had… that’s 70% in your name.”

Tyler was about to grab the papers, but Kris put his feet on the table and stepped on the file.

“….” Tyler looked at Kris.

“I want the other half.” Kris demanded.

“It will be an unfair trade.”

“Your brother.” Kris yawned. “I heard he has not wake up yet…”

“…” Tyler glared at Kris. “What did you do to him?”

“The item and I will give you the antidote.”

“I don’t have it here—”

“Cut the crap.” Kris interrupted him. “I know you have it with you.”

“How do I know the antidote is not fake?”

“I swear, upon Lena’s life.”

Tyler looked at Kris. Kris was a dangerous man and Tyler knew that he was playing with the devil… but if Kris swore under Lena’s life then he knew the man really meant it. He went into his pocket and took the other half out.

He threw it onto the table. He lifted his feet off the file and grabbed the item.

“Nice doing business with you, CEO Huang.” Kris smiled. “I hope we can continue doing great business with each other.”

At the moment, Gary’s entire house suddenly starting flashing red lights.

“What the—?” Tyler looked around. “Didn’t we already turned off the security alarm?”

Kris’ phone buzzed, also flashing with red lights. He immediately turned around and ran out the door.

“Kris!” Keso shouted but the man was already gone.

Gary body slammed the bedroom door opened and he was panting. He was screaming but no one could understand what he was saying with the gag in his mouth.
