Matt thought about it. Now that he had completely offended Henry, if he still allowed Henry to leave with Jake, his respect from his subordinates would vanish. Most importantly, he would also offend Fabian.
He would offend both sides, which would be the stupidest thing in the world. So, Matt made up his mind quickly.
“Mr. Law, do you think you can talk to Mr. Atticus? Ask for his permission and if he nods, I’ll definitely be okay with letting him go immediately.”
Henry stared at Matt coldly and did not say anything. However, this cold gaze caused Matt to become extremely anxious.
Suddenly, Henry laughed. Even though he was laughing, his eyes were growing colder and colder.
“Oh, I get it. If Atticus doesn’t nod his head, I won’t be able to take Jake away, huh?”
Henry seemed to be throwing a tantrum, but he was satisfied.
Jasper asked him to come to cause a commotion, and even his grandpa approved of this. One of the reasons he came today was to save Jake, but that was not his only objective.
Most importantly, he had to cause a huge commotion. If Matt admitted defeat and let him take Jake away, then he would not be able to carry out his performance. However, this was good. This idiot was very cooperative. In order to reward this idiot, Henry slapped him across the face.
Slap!
This slap caused Matt to spin two and a half times on the spot. Finally, he fell to the ground on his bottom.
“Who do you f*cking think you are, you son of a b*tch? How dare you request that I ask Atticus for permission? Even if someone were to call him, it’d be you asking Atticus to talk to me!”
Matt’s ears were buzzing and his vision went black. Suddenly, he felt warmth in his nose as blood started flowing out. Matt decided to go all out after he was slapped silly.
“Henry Law, don’t go overboard! Do you think you’re ballsy for slapping me? Go and be arrogant in front of Mr. Atticus if you really have the balls!”
Henry squatted in front of Matt, who was sitting on the ground. He looked at Matt and grinned evilly, “Are you treating Atticus as your daddy now? Time’s changed and Atticus can’t even save himself. Do you think you can scare me with him?”
After Henry said that, he stood up and asked Jake, “Can you walk?”
Jake stood up and said, “Yes.”
Henry nodded in satisfaction and glared at Matt, who looked fearful as he sat on the ground. Then, he said to Alex and Howard, “Bring this idiot too. We had the appetizer and now, it’s time for the main course.”
Howard walked up and grabbed Matt like he was grabbing a chick. Then, with Alex lifting Matt’s other side, they carried Matt out of the house.
Matt struggled in terror, but Howard’s hands were like pliers such that he could not move an inch.
“Where are you guys taking me?” Matt screamed in terror.
“To Empire Meet, to find your master,” Henry said with a cold chuckle.
Henry had already thought this through. They were just a bunch of thugs who carried out shady business. Therefore, they were not worth his effort coming all the way here. The main purpose of this trip was to rescue Jake.
Even if they killed Matt right here, Fabian would not even frown. Instead, he would be delighted.
Thus, if he wanted to cause a commotion, he had to go directly to Fabian to stir up trouble.
The children of wealthy families in Harbor City were terrified of Fabian, as though he were a tiger. Back then, Fabian was scared of him, while he would also be reluctant to provoke Fabian.
However, right now, Henry wanted to see if he could skin Fabian alive and make him into a throw cushion.
