Jim shook his head and forced a smile. “I’m fine.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll get them back for that kick,” Jasper promised.
Before Jim could speak, Hector began to snicker by the side after hearing that remark.
“On what grounds? Don’t you know that tonight’s the night the three of you useless pieces of sh*t die?”
Hector smiled as well and spoke arrogantly, “The Combe family isn’t one trash like you can afford to provoke.”
“You’re Jasper Laine, right? I hear that you’re rich. Who knows if your money can save you tonight or not, hmm?”
Jasper looked at Jacob calmly and asked, “This is what you brothers prepared for me tonight?”
Hector mocked, “Still so arrogant even though you’re a dead man. Just kill him, Jacob. These kinds of people won’t know they’re screwed until it’s too late.”
Jacob smiled and glanced at Jasper coldly. “Don’t worry, we still have another distinguished guest tonight. You three dogs will be the entertainment I provide my extinguished guests.”
He raised his hand to point at Jasper. “I want you to walk out that door on your knees later.”
Jacob’s phone rang right after he spoke. Looking down, his expression changed and he turned to tell Hector, “Stay here and watch them. The guests are here, I’ll go bring them up.”
Jacob then rushed out the door.
Hector grinned maniacally as he looked at Jasper. “I’ve been waiting for this moment the entire day today. Just you wait, you’ll know very soon that you can be as arrogant as you want in front of me, but you’re just a useless piece of sh*t in comparison to our honorary guest!”
Jasper ignored Hector and helped Jim to the sofa at the sight of the other’s ashen complexion. “Should I send you to the hospital first, Uncle Yapp?”
Jim shook his head. “I won’t be able to walk with my joints and bones like this, but I’m fine. I can still hold on.”
Jasper nodded. “Just hold on for a little longer, then. We’ll decide what to do after I’m done dealing with this.”
Hector guffawed. “Motherf*cker! You’re moments away from death and you still don’t seem to regret a thing, do you? Deal with this? I’m the one finishing you three dogs here!”
At the same time, at the entrance to the Hoary Stock Clubhouse, Jacob courteously opened the door of a Benz that had stopped outside.
“Mr. Law,” Jacob greeted with a charming smile.
Henry glanced at the clubhouse disdainfully and pursed his lips. “This is it? The place you said is going to be full of fun?”
Jacob quickly replied, “I’m sure you’ve seen your fair share of things since you grew up in Harbor City, Mr. Law. How would I dare one-up you like that? This is just a simple reception, as a host to his guest.”
Henry scoffed. “Stop pretending to sound f*cking eloquent when you aren’t. I don’t like fake b*tches. Since you were attentive with my lodgings and stay here, I’m just returning the favor by taking a look.”
“Yes, yes, of course.”
Jacob led Henry through the doors. As they walked up the stairs, he spoke in a meaningful tone, “I found a few beauties for you, Mr. Law. They’ll arrive shortly. We can wait in the private room first. I still have a few stupid f*cks to deal with, but you’re welcome to stay and watch.”
Henry squinted and glanced at Jacob. “Showing off your strength in front of me now, are you?”
Jacob’s heartbeat faltered and he immediately disagreed. “You’ve misunderstood, Mr. Law. I wouldn’t dare.”
Henry scoffed. “I’ve seen enough of this behavior, but I don’t care about it. Stupid f*cks are everywhere. I’d like to know how you plan to deal with them, though. I suppose it’s entertaining enough, let’s go.”
Jacob was elated, and he politely pushed open the private room doors while speaking in a bewitching tone, “Don’t worry, Mr. Law, I’m sure you’ll be entertained.”
However, just as the doors were pushed open, Jacob suddenly realized that Henry was rooted where he stood by the door.
Jacob looked up in confusion to see Henry wearing an expression of utter fright as he stared at Jasper in the private room.
‘Does Mr. Law recognize Jasper?’
