Overcome by immense shock, Sebastian was on the verge of collapsing.
He rushed forward in an attempt to pounce onto Jasper; He wanted to bite off a piece of his flesh so badly.
Jasper watched Sebastian rush toward him with a cold gaze.
However, Julian appeared in front of him before Sebastian could even reach him. Julian held his throat in a vice-like grip and raised him into the air single-handedly as if he were holding onto a dead dog.
Hector and the others gulped as they watched the scene unfold. They all stared at Jasper in fear without daring to utter a single word.
Sebastian was being choked, while Julian bore the weight of his entire body with just the arm that he was using to choke him. Sebastian suddenly felt breathless, his face flushing red at once.
“Let go of him,” Jasper said calmly.
Julian released his grip and Sebastian fell to the ground like a worthless, dead dog. Clutching at his throat, he took in large gulps of air.
Fortunately, Sebastian managed to calm down after going through such a ruckus.
He knew that there was no use in throwing a meaningless tantrum right now. Thus, he tried his best to raise his head and looked at Jasper. “Aren’t you just Dawson Schuler’s son-in-law? What gives you the right to order the Combes around?” He asked angrily.
Jacob shook his head and sighed. “You’ve really lost it. Don’t you understand by now? Shouldn’t you take a look at your opponent before going against them? Uncle, the amount of power that Mr. Laine holds is beyond your imagination,” he said.
“Forget the Combes. You heard of what happened to Brad and Erik Turner some time ago, right? They offended Mr. Laine and look what happened to them. They had to pay a compensation of a billion dollars. In the end, Erik Turner had to resign from his position as the chairman of Motley Media.
“Even the Turners have conceded. What can you do?”
Sebastian’s face instantly turned pale.
He stared at Jasper in disbelief. His gaze filled with shock. He looked like he had just seen a ghost.
“Who…who are you?! Why didn’t you tell me that you had such a powerful background?!”
“Actually, you know everything about my identity. As for my background, I’m different from everyone else. I am my own strongest background,” Jasper said calmly.
Sebastian’s expression changed at once. Finally, he seemed to have lost all of his energy. He lowered his head before Jasper and asmed, “What do I need to do for you to let go of me?”
“Let you go? The thought never even occurred to me,” Jasper said, feigning a look of surprise.
Sebastian was stupefied. “Do you really want to have a battle of life and death?” He asked in infuriation.
“You don’t seem to understand your current circumstances. What do you mean by ‘battle of life and death’? You’re already a dead man. There’s no way you can come out of this alive,” Jasper said with a suppressed laugh.
Sebastian tried his best to control his rage and unwillingness. “How would you benefit from defeating me? Why are you being so unrelenting and cruel?” He asked, seething with anger.
“To be honest, defeating you doesn’t bring me any benefits.”
Jasper said matter-of-factly while staring at him.
“However, since the grievances between us are many, I should seek the vengeance that I deserve, don’t you think?”
Sebastian trembled upon hearing what he said. “Do you intend to take revenge for Dawson Schuler?” He asked stiffly.
“You killed the wife of my future father-in-law. Do you think that I’ll let you go?” Jasper asked.
Sebastian clenched his hands into fists. His body trembled slightly due to all his pent-up rage and overwhelming emotions. “What do you intend to do?”
“I want to see you lose everything that you have. That is the price that you should pay!”
Jasper stood up and slowly walked before Sebastian. Although his voice was calm and collected, his gaze was as frigid as an iceberg.
