“F *ck you!”
The young man who was spat on flew into a rage. He lifted his hand and punched Jake in the face. Immediately, Jake fell to the ground whilst still tied to the chair.
Then, Jake struggled to get up from the ground. He touched his swollen and red cheek with his tongue and then spat out some saliva that was mixed with blood before staring coldly at the young man.
“Kill me if you have the guts.”
It felt as if the young man was insulted as he faced Jake’s smirk. Hence, he lifted his leg to kick Jake’s head. If he managed to kick Jake, Jake would be seriously injured.
However, the young man was stopped and pulled away by his colleague.
“Don’t be so impulsive. If we kill him, you and I will be in trouble.”
The colleague’s intervention soothed the young man’s anger.
The young man pointed at Jake and said with a scoff, “Don’t be so f*cking pleased with yourself!”
“There is all the time in the world later. I promise that if you don’t cooperate with us, the remaining time will be the most torturous period of your life. You will never forget this for the rest of your life.”
Jake looked at him frigidly and did not say anything.
The young man pulled the chair back and sat down. Then, he slammed his hand down the table and roared, “Jake Cullen, tell us!”
“Did someone tell you to perform illegal financial transactions abroad? Do you know that such a huge amount is enough to make you spend the rest of your life behind bars?”
Jake chuckled coldly and said, “I told you, everything I did was legal. I have records of all the procedures so the illegal transaction you mentioned doesn’t exist.”
Now, the young man’s colleague came out to act as the good cop. He lifted Jake’s chair and helped him sit properly. He even placed a lit cigarette next to Jake’s lips.
“Jake, you have to know that you’re just working for someone else. Why are you holding on for him?
“If cooperate with us, everything can be discussed. I promise you won’t need to suffer anymore and you’ll be escorted out of here by us comfortably. Why don’t you consider our offer?”
Jake took a drag of the cigarette with no trace of politeness and exhaled the smoke. Then, he scoffed, “Huh? You’re using a good cop on me after the bad cop tactic failed?”
“I’m still going to tell you the same thing. Everything I did was legal. Not only are you falsely imprisoning me, you even planted false evidence against me to claim that I broke the law.”
“Aren’t you scared that they’ll settle the score with you after this?”
“When you’re not useful anymore, do you think Fabian will protect you?””
Jake’s words caused their faces to fall.
“You were given a choice whether to do it the easy way or the hard way, but it looks like we have to do it the hard way!”
The young man who beat Jake up stood up. His eyes were cold and savage.
Jake was fearless. He replied calmly, “I’ll still tell you the same thing. Come at me if you have the balls.”
“Damn you to hell!”
The young man was livid. He lifted the chair to throw it at Jake.
At this critical moment, some noises came from outside. Then, there was a loud crash and the door was kicked open from outside. The sudden change caused the three men in the house to become startled.
The young man with the chair turned his head to look at the subconsciously. Unfortunately, he saw Henry striding in alongside Alex and Howard. Of course, he did not know these three top young masters from Harbor City.
“Who are you people? How dare you barge in here?” The young man roared.
Henry grinned and walked leisurely to the young man with his hands in his pockets. Then, he tilted his head and smiled.
“Oh, it’s been such a long time since someone talked to me like that. I kind of miss this.”
After he finished saying that with a grin, Henry’s face instantly darkened. Then, he lifted his hand to slap the young man across the face.
Slap!
The slap was powerful, and it made let out a crisp sound.
The young man stumbled backward after getting slapped.
Henry was not forgiving now that he was the dominant one. He grabbed the chair in the young man’s hand and slammed it down on the latter.
“You son of a b*tch, where in Harbor City can I not enter? Who the f*ck do you think you are? How dare you yell at me like this? Do you know who the Laws are?”
As Henry said that, he repeatedly lifted the chair before slamming it down on the young man.
Slam slam slam!
The chair made a muffled sound when it hit the young man. With a final thud, the chair broke into pieces.
The man lied on the ground while struggling to breathe.
“The Laws?”
Everyone was stunned. Henry started hitting him out of the blue and caught everyone off guard. When they heard ‘the Laws’, everyone in the house shuddered. Who else had this grandeur and this hedonistic vigor? One could figure it out with half a brain.
One of them saw that their partner was now unconscious after being beaten up by Henry. The pool of blood on the floor caused his pupils to contract and he started screaming in terror.
Henry threw away the chair that was now only a piece of wood now in his hand. He clapped his hand and stuck out his lips to Howard.
Howard chuckled and lifted the collar of the poor remaining guy. Then, with a roar, he tensed his arms that were as thick as a normal person’s thighs. With that, he lifted the man and threw him out the door while the poor guy screamed in terror.
Immediately, the human canon flew out and accurately hit the group of people who had run over. They were now in a pitiful state, and the scene looked extremely lively and sorry.
On the side, Alex swallowed his saliva as he fidgeted nervously. Even so, he looked more excited than anxious.
He walked to the door and stood in front of the people who were knocked down just when they were about to barge in. Then, he leaned against the doorframe and giggled, “I’m going to stand here and see which of you fools dare to take a step forward. I’ll applaud any one of you who dares to get too close for having balls of steel, then I’ll kill your whole family as a reward.”
At this moment, Henry had walked in front of Jake. They had met before, so Jake knew Henry. However, how would Henry remember a nobody like Jake?
“Are you Jake Cullen?” Henry asked.
Jake said emotionally, “Mr. Law, it’s me. Did Mr. Laine asked you to come?”
Henry chuckled and said, “That’s right. Your wounds…”
“I’m fine. I was bitten by some dogs,” Jake said to raise his spirits.
“I knew Mr. Laine wouldn’t leave me to die.”
“Nonsense! I came here on his private plane. He’s shown you so much respect.”
Henry grinned and said, “If you’re fine, hold on for a little longer. I’ll settle this before sending you to the hospital.”
“Okay, Mr. Law. I want to watch how you teach these sons of b*tches a lesson.”
“Watch properly.” Henry laughed while feeling pleased with himself.
