“You idiot.”
The young man sneered, leaned closer to Jake’s face, and said in a low voice, “Yes, I am playing dirty. What are you going to do about it?”
“You want to fight Mr. Atticus? Why don’t you look at how many lives you have?”
Jake suddenly felt as if he had plunged into an icy lake. Sure enough, Fabian was driven to desperate action. Since he could not beat the rules, he directly used the underground power in Harbor City to begin to break the rules.
Jake calmed down when he thought this through. He wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth after he was slapped and said coldly, “I’ll remember you. When my boss knows about the situation here, be careful because you won’t hear the end of this!”
Panic flashed across the young man‘s eyes, but then there was firmness and rancor. He raised his hand and slapped Jake again. With a slap, Jake’s head snapped to one side and his cheek swelled up.
The stock traders under Jake had good relationships with him. Seeing that Jake had been slapped twice in a row, two young men could not control themselves and they wanted to rush forward.
“What? Do you guys want to have a taste too?”
The young man shouted.
“Nobody move!”
Jake quickly stopped them too.
Fabian was obviously ignoring the rules right now. Hence, he started playing dirty.
Jake was not an idiot and he knew this was not the time to be impulsive. It was clear that they could not win against the men. Only idiots would allow someone to beat them up for no reason.
“All of you, stand over there. Just let them do whatever they want.”
Jake looked at the young man coldly and said to his team.
“Hehe, you’re pretty smart” The young man waved his hand and ordered. “Take all of them away.”
“I can cooperate but I have to make a call first,” Jake said suddenly.
The young man said in an icy tone, “Do you think you are qualified to talk terms with me?”
Jake replied emotionlessly, “You’re just working for someone and we know this very well. So, you don’t need to go overboard in some cases. If not, my boss will not forgive you.”
“You have to think clearly. If Fabian is hiring you guys, it means that my boss is strong enough to take him down. When that happens do you think Fabian will save you?
“Now, you’re just Fabian’s dog. After a dog goes out to bite someone, the victim will only go to the dog’s owner and not the dog. However, if you go overboard in this, then I guess you might have to suffer the consequences.”
The young man’s face fell.
He wanted to slap Jake again.
However, when he looked at Jake’s icy gaze, he gave up. He knew that Jake was right.
He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds. Then, the young man said frigidly, “I’ll only give you one minute.”
Jake let out a sigh of relief and immediately called Jasper.
“What happened? Why did the video call drop all of a sudden?” Jasper asked while frowning.
Jake did not have time to explain. He said immediately, “Mr. Laine, Fabian was driven to desperate action. He called a group of random thugs to take us away. We’ll be fine, but you have to immediately get someone to take over for me, Mr. Laine…”
Before Jake could finish, the young man grabbed Jake’s phone and hung up.
“Time’s up,” the young man said coldly.
Jake looked at him coldly after sneering. He said, “Okay, you’re taking us away, right? We’ll go with you.”
“Smart guy.”
***
Jasper had a dark expression on his face after he put down his phone that was hung up.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and irritation in his heart He grabbed the office’s landline and made a call.
This call was directly connected to Baz, who had just established a firm foothold in Tefa City and was steadily developing his financial investment business.
“This is Jasper Laine.”
After Jasper finished speaking, instead of waiting for the surprise and politeness of Baz on the other end of the phone, he said directly, “Assemble the most elite group of your people immediately. There is a very important task to be handed over to you temporarily. Leave the other businesses aside for now.”
Although Baz was confused, he understood the seriousness of the matter from Jasper’s tone and words. He immediately replied, “I’ll be ready in ten minutes.”
“Very good.” Jasper was very pleased. At the critical moment, Baz did not let him down.
In fact, when something happened on Jake’s side, all Jasper could use now is Baz and the team he just formed, otherwise he would have to do this himself.
However, the number of funds was too large and he would need to operate more than 10 accounts at the same time. He was not an octopus and it was impossible for one person to do the work of an entire team.
“In 10 minutes, I will start a video call conference with you.”
After speaking, Jasper hung up the phone. Then, he called Henry, who was playing the game happily.
“What? I’m cutting through the whole server alone. Why did you get me here in such a hurry?” Henry asked in dissatisfaction.
“My team in Harbor City was abducted by Fabian.”
Jasper told Henry what happened at Jake’s side with a dark expression on his face.
Jake and his team had always been very loyal to Jasper and they were extremely good. Hence, according to reasons and their relationship, it would be impossible for Jasper to abandon them.
However, Harbor City was beyond reach. The only person Jasper could use now was Henry.
When Henry heard this, he looked as if he was a stick of dynamite that had been ignored.
“Damn it to hell! That b*tch Fabian even knows how to play dirty? Damn, didn’t you teach him a lesson in the futures market and made the Atticus family more docile?”
“That’s not the same.”
Jasper shook his head and explained. “He used the Atticus family‘s power to cause trouble for the entertainment group, so my counterattack hit the Atticus family directly. The Atticus family has already compromised once.
“This time, Fabian used his contacts to play dirty. So, we can only deal with him, not the entire Atticus family, otherwise, it will cause a backlash from the entire Atticus family.”
“So what? F*ck it, does he think the Laws are pushovers?” Henry said while feeling pissed.
“You can help me with this matter.” Jasper looked at Henry and said seriously.
Henry froze for a moment and said seriously, “Tell me. What do you need me to do?”
Jasper chuckled and asked ruminatively, “Do you have any friends in Harbor City that ordinary people cannot afford to offend?”
Henry’s eyes lit up and he said quickly, “I don’t have a lot but I do have a lot of friends. What do you need me to do exactly? Tell me and I’ll do it now.”
“Okay, I’ll tell you. Note this down. I don’t have much time and I only have 10 minutes at most… I only have 8 minutes now. Remember this.”
