“Damn, they’re out!”
The appearance ofJasper and Celine caused a commotion among the thugs who were embarrassed by Julian but still did not dare to rush up to him.
The thugs were very arrogant when they first came, but right now, they were embarrassed. The most embarrassed one among them was their boss, Machino.
He thought that since his men had been beaten, the matter would just lead to an ordinary gang fight. Machino would easily take care of this kind of small problem. As usual, he immediately called all his men who could come over. In the end, more than twenty of them arrived.
Under normal circumstances, after so many people arrived at the scene and the bosses of the two parties negotiated, the matter would be resolved after they agreed to pay some medical fees and get some benefits.
However, when he brought his men to the scene, he only saw Julian.
Machino naturally did not think that such a person was his opponent, so he immediately asked his men to do something.
After this, the situation developed to become what Jasper saw when he walked Celine out.
“Are you his boss?” Machino stood several meters away from Julian. Obviously, he was quite afraid of Julian’s strength.
Even so, he still spoke harshly to Jasper.
“Boss?”
This was the first time someone gave him such a title.
Jasper glanced at Julian with a smile, and then said to Machino, “I guess so.”
“Are you also the boss of those thugs behind you?”
Proper behavior was dependent on reciprocity. Hence, Jasper asked back.
Machino suddenly became proud and said, “Yes, I am in charge of this street. You can call me Machino. You look very foreign. Are you from Sharp Promenade or Causeway Bay?”
“I’m from the Mainland,” Jasper said with a smile.
“Mainland?” Machine’s eyes lit up. He thought Jasper was also in a gang, but he did not expect him to just be a mainlander.
“Your guy hurt my men. Based on the rules of the gang, do you want to solve this civilly or with fists?”
“What do you mean by civilly or with fists?” Jasper asked curiously.
“You’re indeed a mainlander. You don’t even understand this.”
Machino sneered and said more confidently, “If you want to solve this civilly, then it’ll be the medical expenses of my men plus the cost of lost work and recuperation. It’ll be fifty thousand bucks per person. But if you want to solve this by fist, then I’ll pay you back double what you did to them.”
“Sounds fair.” Jasper nodded.
Machino immediately became excited when he heard this.
This guy from the mainland did not understand the market at all. In normal fights like this, everyone would get a compensation of a few thousand bucks, and if their injury was severe, it would be about ten thousand bucks. After all, they were all thugs and they were very lowly.
As long as they did not lose their limbs or were severely injured, they did not even need to go to the hospital. They would be fine after buying some medicine.
When Machino thought about this, he rolled his eyes and smiled gloomily at Jasper. “Seeing that you are someone who plays by the rules, this will be easy. You only need to pay for the medical expenses of my men and I will forget this matter. If I report this to my boss, you will be in big trouble.”
“In this case, you should report to your boss,” Jasper said seriously.
Celine next to him burst out laughing.
Machino was stunned.
This was not right.
How come this guy from the mainland who had previously looked so gullible suddenly became so firm?
