John chuckle and looked at Leon and said "yes I did set you up, what are you going to do about it?"
Leon face was flushed with anger "I'm going to kill you" He roared while rushing towards John.
Bang
But before Leon could get to John, he was kicked back by James which sent him flying far away. The kick was so strong that Leon found it difficult to get up.
Gulp
Those remaining four people gulped hard and became fearful when they saw what has happened. The reason was because because Leon was the strongest amongst them but he was easily taken down by a single kick and he couldn't get up from that, so they can imagine how strong James is. They know that if they fight James Combined, they couldn't take him down not forgetting the ten strong muscular men in suits.
They were just wondering the identity of John and at the same time was cursing Brother Song who was dead by provoking whom he shouldn't have provoked and has now involved them in it.
As for Harold, after seeing this he became firm with his decision to follow John. Even though he doesn't know John's identity but he was sure that he will achieve a lot of success if he follows John.
John just shook his head and looked at Leon as if he was a clown.
"I will leave him to you. You know what to do with him right?" John asked Harold calmly by gesturing towards Leon.
"Yes Mr Lewis you can leave it to me. I will make sure not to disappoint you". Harold quickly answered.
"Ask someone to send him back to his house" John told Harold by pointing towards the unconscious Jacob.
After passing out due to the excessive pain, Jacob has been lying motionless On the ground so he hasn't witnessed what has transpired in the room.
"Yes Mr Lewis. I will do that immediately" Harold quickly said.
John just nodded.
"Like I said before, with this video you know what to do. I want to hear good news from you soon. Don't disappoint me" John informed Harold again this time with a serious expression on his face.
"You can count on me Mr Lewis. I will not disappoint you. I can assure you with my life that you will receive good news from me by tomorrow morning" Harold quickly responded.
"Good, Good. I like you and your confidence and I hope you don't let me down or betray me. Because if you do hmmmm?"
Harold became scared and quickly responded "I bet on my life that I won't ever betray you Mr Lewis"
"I will take your word for it" John said.
After saying that, John stood up and walked towards the door.
"Mr Lewis?" Harold timidly called.
"Yes" John turned towards him.
"Mr Lewis I just wanted to ask you what should I do with these three people?" Harold asked by pointing towards the remaining three trustees of Brother Song.
"What do you think? Will these three pose a threat to you?" John asked him back.
"No Mr Lewis, we won't pose a threat to Harold. We respect him as our new boss. Please don't kill me, please let us go"
"Yes Mr Lewis, we won't come after you for revenge. Nothing really happened here. I didn't see you here, as far as I know it was Leon who betray Brother Song. You were never here"
"Yes, yes. Leon is the traitor. Please don't kill us , please Mr Lewis"
Those remaining three begged desperately for John to spared their lives.
John just looked at the way they were begging for their lives to be spared and looked at Harold "do you trust them?"
Left to John, he didn't want to kill another person because he has no grudge with them, but at the same time he doesn't want to have people that will come after him for revenge.
"Yes I do trust them" Harold quickly nodded said. "Please spare their lives Mr Lewis"
John looked at Harold, after some time, he said "Ok then". "You three should consider yourselves lucky for having someone like Harold who can still consider you as family. I will spare your lives but all that is due Harold, you owe him your lives. You can see how he considers and trust you people and I hope you people will repay him by being Loyal to him"
"Thank you for sparing our lives Mr Lew" those three said it Unison.
"Not me but him" John pointed towards Harold, "if it weren't for him then you wouldn't be here now"
"Thank you Boss Harold"
"Yes, Thank You Boss Harold "
"Thank you Boss Harold"
Those three thanked Harold heartily, Harold just nodded at them.
"Thank you Mr Lewis for your kindness" Harold thanked John profusely
John nodded, "But I can warn you now that if you think that you are not convinced and want to come to me for revenge then I will make sure you people regret it. No one would be able to safe by then" John threaten them in a dangerous voice.
"We wouldn't dare Mr Lewis" These quickly responded.
John was quite satisfied with their attitude.
"you know what to do. Call me back when is all done" John said to Harold.
"Yes Mr Lewis leave it to me" Harold quickly replied.
After saying that John along with James with his private army walked out of the private room.
The reason why John decided to leave those three alive was be because he wants Harold to be grateful to him and at the same time to help Harold because he knows that telling those three people that the reason why they were alive was because of Harold. This will increase their trust and Loyalty in Harold as they will see him as their benefactor which will play a major role in securing his position as the New Boss of Cold Heart gang firmly. For him this is like killing two birds with one stone.
