He wanted their failure.

He wished for the instant failure of Leo's company..and he was going to make sure of that.

After reading through the news he had seen online, he got out his phone to make a guess . It was a call which he hadn't made for a while now.

And as soon as he called the line, the person on the other end of the line answered without much hesitation.

"Hello? What's it?"

Mr Ed forced on a smile "Hello, Mr James. It's been a long time. I can't remember the last time we spoke"

"oh, Ed. Right. It's been long indeed. So what made you call me this time? Is there something you want?" Mr James asked on the other end.

"Yeah.. actually let's meet up somewhere. I want us to discuss it one on one" Mr Ed requested.

"Okay," James agreed.

Later that day both of them had agreed and met up together. They had met up at an expensive restaurant. It was where they had planned to discuss.

He was going through the investor of his family who had suddenly quit and withdrew from working with him. The fact that it was more than half of them all left him speechless. "What are we going to do about it? At this point I think all of them are going to withdraw from it" Jak expressed. Leo didn't know what to reply to him. He simply stared at the iPad.

    "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to instigate something or what?" Mr Ed asked, raising an eyebrow at Leo. "No, Nothing.. I don't think I'm trying to get at anything. Let's just say that I'm curious about certain things." Mr Ed smiled "Is that so? Perhaps there is a specific reason for the visit? Something that we can talk about over a cup of coffee?" Leo smiled. "No, I don't think there's such a thing. But I'd pretty much wish to give a piece of advice as a fellow business worker" He smiled. "A piece of advice? What's that about?" "You should mind your business " Leo said with a smile "You should stop right now and don't think of pushing on with this.. Because it's not gonna end well like This " As he said that, Mr Ed stared at him "And what are you going to do about it?" He raised an eyebrow.

He was walking out of the bathroom dressed in a nightgown for the night when he got the call. "Oh, hello? What's it? What did you find out" Leo asked as he sat down on the bed.

I see" She nodded "So why did you call me in the first place? And how did you know Mr Ed? Are you two friend's or something?" Leo smiled "Friends? You've got to be kidding me. No I'm not. I'm not friends with him and never will be, "he said. "So... how did you know him?" she asked. "I guess you can say that we're rivals " He expressed "He wants my downfall and I want his own. It's as simple as that" Lily folded her hands as she stared at him.. she leaned back against her seat "So particularly, you want me to help you bring him down?" He smiled slightly "Sure. Yeah.

They didn't come to a conclusion on how Max was going to find his way in, but had stopped it at some point."I'll have to begin seeking for people who can help me get in. I'm pretty sure I have a handful of connections that could help me in. So I don't think that should be a problem" He expressed while leaning backwards into his seat.Zane nodded in agreement "Certainly you will. All you have to do is get in there. And you'll be able to turn the table against him. So the person who leaps to the top in the end...will be you" He hyped..Max nodded in agreement and approval of his praises "So what next?
