Chapter 196 - Lena cannot know (2/2)
Kris put his hand on Gary's neck and applied a small pressure. ”I can simply just kill you now before you get into the wrong hands.”
”You won't. James told me that Lena has been helping you with something important. You need her. As long as she is alive, you can't touch me.”
Kris released his hold on Gary's neck and chuckled. ”Look at you, finally showing your true colors. Using a friend as a shield. Do you ever show her this side of you?”
”I am only protecting her. So.. are you going to help me or not.”
”Gary Chen... you should know fairly well how I do business. I don't help people...”
”I know. Once you help me, I will be entirely under you.”
Kris walked to the door and closed it. Making sure it was locked also. He went back and sit on the chair. ”Are you sure you want to give up your entire life, just for me to help you? You just woke up, I don't want to be doing business with a non-lucid man.”
”I am sure. The quicker the better. Only you can match his powers. You and your family.”
”Match whose?”
”My father.”
”Your father...” Kris already knew that his mother was Madam Yang, but he had not completely confirmed who Gary's father was. He knew that Gary's father was not a lowly man or fling that Madam Yang had with though.
”What I am going to tell you, Lena cannot know one bit about it.”
”I have no relationship with her. Once Madam Yang is gone, we are strangers.”
”I can't tell you who my father is yet until I am better. But until then, you need to keep me and Lena secured and protected.”
”Why is that stupid woman involve in everything?” Kris was referring to Lena.
”Becuase she is the woman that I have loved for years. She is my weakness. And if my father finds that out or anyone else, it would do us no good. I am no genius... I just have a skill that makes me valuable. I already made a mistake when I was looking for my father, for sure that will trigger him to look for me. Even if I died... we need to make sure that was 100% fool proof.”
”Who is your father?” Kris was curious.
”An enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
James knocked on the door. Kris looked at Gary and gave him some water before he left to go open the door for James. Gary glanced and Kris, and without talking, they both knew what each other were saying.
Kris left as soon as James arrived. He wondered how f*cked up Gary's family was... child born from an affair. He was willing to let his birth mother die by someone else hand, and now... he wanted protection from his own father... Just who was Gary's father?
