Not long after, a tall and slender man walked out of the elevator.
Because the lighting in the underground parking lot was dim, they never saw the man's face.
However, judging solely by the man's custom-tailored handmade suit and limited edition Italian watch, it is enough to determine that the person is Elliot.
When Elliot got in the car, Sean signaled to Valentin, who quickly threw a smoke bomb into the back seat.
In an instant, smoke filled the air and the man in the car closed his eyes in a daze, losing consciousness.
Next moment, Valentin efficiently climbed into the back seat, covering the already unconscious man with a sack. After they had tied him up, they dragged him out of the underground parking lot.
A few minutes later, in a deep alleyway.
Valentin forcefully threw the dragged burlap sack onto the ground and kicked it with irritation.
"You don't seem to weigh much, but I didn't expect you to be so heavy."
Sean's mouth twitched slightly when he heard these words.
Before Sean could react, Valentin kicked the man again and cursed under his breath. "Because you bullied Leah and made her sad, you deserve this!"
Upon hearing this, Sean's attention was immediately diverted.
Sean, with an angry face, walked up and gave the scumbag daddy a strong kick. He said furiously, "You're a bad man! How can you bully my sister?"
"Watch how I teach you a lesson!"
The little guy was venting his anger on the man inside the burlap sack while speaking, taking it out on him for his younger sister.
But what they don't know is that the man they want to retaliate against had just arrived at the underground parking lot.
Elliot walked up to the car and looked around, but he didn't see his assistant.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly and his expression turned cold.
Didn't he ask the assistant to wait here?
Where did he go?
He glanced sideways and happened to catch a glimpse of the assistant's scattered documents on the back seat through the car window.
Suddenly, he keenly realized what had happened.
The assistant is meticulous and thoughtful in his work. He knows that he dislikes things being placed randomly and has never had a time when files were so disorganized.
He probably had an accident!
"Ah! Who are you guys and why are you hitting me?"
"You, an insane man with no conscience, how dare you ask us why!" Valentin cursed angrily and his movements became even more vicious.
Sean's voice followed closely after. "That's right! Scumbag! How can you bully Leah?."
Sean kicked harder as he spoke.
The assistant struggled helplessly in the sack, futilely trying to dodge.
At this moment, the assistant, although thinking of reporting to the police after getting away, dare not utter a word of his thoughts.
This time, both of them clearly heard the male voice wailing inside the burlap bag.
Valentin froze, shocked as he looked at the little guy standing by his side.
"Sean, this voice... it doesn't sound like that man's."
The little one pursed her lips and nodded gently. They must have mistaken someone else for his father.
Sean's face grew serious; he hadn't expected scumbag dad to be this cunning. He leaned in close and whispered, "We got it wrong. Let's leave for now..."
But before they could move, a deep voice sounded from nearby, cold and dangerous. "You two just assaulted someone and now you want to leave?"
Valentin and Sean froze in place as they realized that the person they were supposed to capture had arrived. Sean glanced at Valentin with a serious expression. "Can we take him?"
"Of course we can!" Valentin replied proudly before charging forward to get revenge for Leah against Elliot.
Sean couldn't help but roll his eyes at Valentin's words; he shouldn't have trusted him when he said they could win.
Suddenly breaking through all of this tension-filled silence came an unexpected shout from an energized-sounding Valentin. "What are you waiting for? Run!"
