His face changed.
Finally, Matt collapsed on the ground limply as if someone had removed his spine. He did not say anything, and he did not dare to blame Fabian for abandoning him. He knew that if he kept spewing nonsense, his family would be in trouble too.
Thus, Matt could only submit to his fate when he was faced with such firm threats. This was because Matt did not have the slightest capital to fight back against Henry or Fabian.
This was the sorrow of the weak. There was no right or wrong between the weak and the strong.
Matt, who was already on the ground, curled himself up like a dead dog. His body started shaking gently as he sobbed silently.
He was a man, and he was a man with some power, yet, he was reduced to this state when he faced with Fabian and Henry.
However, no one at the scene felt that this was inappropriate.
This was the reality of society!
“Is this enough?” Fabian said while looking at Henry.
“Yes, you’re so sincere.”
Henry smiled brightly.
It was not easy to make Fabian bow his head. However, after the smile, Henry’s face suddenly became cold.
“However, I still decided to do what I initially intended.”
Fabian flew into a rage after he heard that.
“Henry, don’t go overboard!”
Henry looked at Fabian with a cold smile. He taunted Fabian, “Why? I told you I might let you off the hook if I’m in a good mood after you apologize. However, I feel that I’m still in a bad mood!”
When Fabian heard that, he pushed the bodyguard in front of him away and walked straight to Henry.
He walked over slowly such that Alex, who was standing next to Henry, felt the hair on his body standing up.
It felt as if a primitive beast on the verge of killing its prey was walking toward them rather than a human. Alex, who was timid, took a step back subconsciously. However, he immediately bumped into Howard.
Alex was startled and he turned his head to see Howard’s disdainful gaze looking down on him.
Howard’s gaze hurt Alex, the latter of which had only just been dreaming about shooting to fame overnight.
Alex soon spat on the ground, it seemed that he was also mad at himself for being such a disappointment. Thus, Alex lifted his head and puffed his chest out before standing his ground. A moment later, he grabbed the gasoline and stared straight at Fabian.
However, Fabian was not bothered by him at all. He did not even look at Alex as he walked toward Henry.
When he stood still in front of Henry, Fabian said faintly, “Henry, respect is very important if you want to stay in the circle.”
“Tonight, you’re the one who barged through my door. I’ve shown you the respect and recognition you wanted. However, if you insist on pursuing this matter further, don’t blame me for having a fall-out with you.”
Henry smirked and said, “Oh, Mr. Atticus is still not convinced, huh?”
As he said that, Henry got close to Fabian and said coldly, “Why don’t you show me how you’ll have a fall out with me?”
“I’ve seen an idiot fall flat on his face but I’ve never seen a fall-out before. Why don’t you teach me something new today?”
As he said that, Henry straightened his back and chuckled coldly while he looked at Fabian. He continued, “Stop being such a poser. Everyone knows who you are and who I am, so why are we still doing this?”
“If you genuinely decide to fight me to death, you wouldn’t have said that cowardly statement just now. Right, Mr. Atticus?”
Fabian looked at Henry and laughed suddenly.
“Back then, I only saw you as a brainless second generation, the kind that I could kill easy as pie. However, I guess I’ve underestimated you. Similar to Kayden, you’re one of the descendants of the four rich families.”
Henry was slightly stunned and then he laughed and replied, “You place regard me so highly, Mr. Atticus. “I’m just a normal lad. You need to thank the people around me for setting me up.”
After Henry said that, he tilted his head. “Alex, why are you still standing there? Go light the place up!”
“Splash the gasoline all over the villa. If anyone wants to stop you, let him. We’ll see who genuinely will risk their lives for Mr. Atticus when you light the fire. At the same time, we will be the good guys and help Mr. Atticus see which of his dogs are the most loyal.”
After Henry said that, Fabian looked at Alex suddenly. His gaze was as cold as a blade.
Alex kept swallowing his saliva. He wanted to move, but the container in his hand felt as if it weighed a ton. It was so heavy it was making it a little difficult for him to move his fingers.
To be honest, Alex was really scared. This was Empire Meet!
Before today, Alex would never imagine that he would bring a container of gasoline to this place to light Empire Meet on fire in front of Fabian.
A few seconds ago, he was still very vigorous as he was immersed in the beautiful dream of shooting to fame overnight. However, now that it was time to take action, he was a little scared.
Meanwhile, Henry was scolding this good-for-nothing for being a huge disappointment when he sensed Alex’s fear.
Right now, they were doing this because they were mad. If he was still mad, his awe-inspiring authority would be able to defeat Fabian.
However, if he was not mad anymore, he would revert back to his old self. Fabian would not need to do anything and he would get the upper hand.
Why did Henry drag this dead dog along today?
He wanted to criticize Fabian violently and pressure him while they were still riding that high.
From the looks of it now, the effect was pretty good.
Fabian did not have anything on hand to fight back, and that was why he was not so confident right now.
Regardless, now that it had come to this, neither Henry nor Fabian could turn back now.
However, Alex started to feel scared at this critical moment, which might screw everything up. This made Henry have the urge to go over and slap Alex heavily across the face.
Fabian started to display a cold smile on the corners of his lips.
He knew that Alex was terrified, and that this would be the key for him to turn the situation around.
However, at this moment, another hand pulled the container away from Alex’s hand.
“Henry, if this coward doesn’t dare to do it, let me.”
At this critical moment, Howard stepped forward. After Howard said that, he did not wait for Henry’s reply. He carried the container and strode toward the villa.
After he moved. All of the bodyguards started to move as well.
It was as if Howard could not see them. He grabbed the container and threw away the lid before splashing the gasoline around furiously.
A few of the bodyguards wanted to go snatch the container away from Howard in a moment of desperation. However, with Howard’s figure, he was able to send two to three bodyguards flying with just a wave of his arm.
“Back away!”
Fabian roared and stopped his bodyguards who were starting to get restless and increasingly desperate to take action.
While Fabian said that, he was staring straight at Henry.
“I’m going to stand here today. I want to see who has the balls to light Empire Meet on fire!”
After he said that, Fabian tumed around and walked to the door of the villa. He stepped on the gasoline that had flowed to his feet and looked at Henry coldly. Then, he curled his lips into a mocking grin.
“Henry Law, aren’t you the devil incarnate who’s not afraid of anything? Come, I’m standing here right now. Light me up!”
