Steven, to avoid trouble at first, let Eris off the hook, then almost destroyed himself, but managed to scare Eris out of his wits, to the point where he was nearly kowtowing to CEO Cheng for help.
On the surface, this seemed like a covert fight between Mi'er and Achilles, but Eris really was too insignificant. CEO Cheng and his people could protect Gru but not necessarily him—just now, Cheng Daqi had also said he had given Gru fifty million dollars.
That's the difference. How much did Eris earn after all his hard work as a dog?
The biggest deal he bore all risk for earned him two thousand, and it even hadn't hit the account yet—and Jax's eight million hadn't hit the account either!
It's like fronting the money for a project, where the client freeloads every day without paying the final settlement, leaving poor Eli without even his underwear after being screwed over by CEO Cheng and the Gru bunch.
