Dudley, a serious young man in his twenties, was terrified.
Meanwhile, Alban’s expression was extremely sour.
He felt even more ashamed when Henry gave him a meaningful chuckle.
“Why’re you hiding behind me? It’s not like he can eat you alive!” Alban scolded disappointedly.
He was afraid that news of Alban’s useless son would spread across the country after tonight.
Dudley shuddered but did not dare to talk back, though he did bottle some resentment within him.
After all, he did not see his dad stopping Henry when the other beat him up silly.
With a harrumph, Alban lost his patience. He knew that the situation would end up looking like a circus if Henry was allowed to continue wreaking havoc.
“I know that this is a play you and Henry came up with, Jasper. But for what? You think I’ll be afraid just because of such an insignificant trick? You think I won’t dare to hand this report in?”
“You’re too naive if that’s the case!”
Alban then pulled out his phone and sneered at Jasper as he said, “If you’re going to remain stubborn until you die, then I’ll send you to your grave myself!”
With that, he dialed a number.
Jasper looked at him calmly the entire time, but he did not make any move to stop the man. In fact, Jasper seemed to be looking forward to Alban making this call.
The call connected and Alban spoke solemnly, “Immediately hand the report to the Waterhoof City Government! Inform me once there’s an update!”
With that, Alban hung up the phone.
He looked at Jasper with sinister glee and sneered. “You said that construction of the World Financial Center won’ t be halted, right, Jasper? Just you wait. In a short while, someone will contact you and Waterhoof City will put an emergency stop to your construction!”
After saying this, the people who were deterred and startled by Henry’s anger were immediately energized again.
“Haha. I wonder how this stupid Laine f*cker will look later!”
“Yeah. This is what he gets for acting cool!”
“These tricks of him are nothing to Mr. Alban!”
Dudley had also gotten excited with them.
He glared at Jasper resentfully and opened his mouth to say something. The words stopped on the top of his tongue when he sensed Henry’s dark gaze on him.
Dudley shivered and turned to Henry, saying aggrieved and angrily, “Why’re you always targeting me?”
Henry shrugged and replied, “Because you’re stupid.”
“You- ! ”
Dudley was enraged but the previous lesson Henry gave him made him too terrified to throw a tantrum now.
He knew that Henry had no qualms about rushing over and throwing him to the floor before beating him up.“Just you wait! You two won’t get to act so pridefully any longer!”
After a long moment of thought, Dudley finally managed to come up with a useless retort.
“Moron!”
Henry snorted.
After the conversation played out, Alban’s phone rang.
Everyone stopped mocking Jasper to look at Alban expectantly; Even the man himself was smiling widely.
Alban waved his phone display which showed the caller information in front of Jasper and laughed out loud. “It’s too late for you to regret it now! ”
With that, Alban accepted the call. To highlight his capabilities, Alban had also put the call on loudspeaker mode.
