Everything happened so fast that Lisa only had time to let out a scream.
Erik’s eyes twitched. He was feeling tremendously shocked on the inside but remained composed on the outside.
Even Henry was astonished.
He was surprised that Jasper, who had always played it safe, would suddenly choose to become more violent than him and do such a thing.
The most he had done was beat Ben up, but when Jasper asked Julian to do it, he was probably hoping that Ben would be beaten half to death.
“You’re crazy, Jasper!” Erik chided with a stern expression.
“I’m crazy?” Jasper chuckled slightly and turned to look at Henry.
“When dealing with people, I told you before that you must use profit to lure the people beneath you so they will do things for you wholeheartedly.”
As Jasper said that, he patted Henry.
“I will now teach you one more thing, one more way of dealing with people. When facing your enemies, never be softhearted and hesitant! Most importantly, don’t give your enemies something to use against you. Worst comes to worst, fight them to death!
“When you’re not supposed to give in, don’t give in! Never stoop to compromise!”
Jasper narrowed his eyes at Erik whose expression was changing slightly.
“Otherwise, even if you manage to get through this entire ordeal, you’re not going to have peace of mind.
“A man can be beaten, scolded, or even have someone roll their eyes at him, but his knees and forehead must never touch the ground for anyone other than his own parents or ancestors.”
Henry looked at Jasper in a daze, realizing how different Jasper was at the moment.
Usually, others would see Jasper as a scholar holding the pearl of wisdom in his hands. He was always so calm and breezy, acting like nothing in the world could change his expression.
Right now, however, Jasper had turned into a mighty and powerful god of war. Although his aura was not too strong or vigorous, he was like a lofty mountain, standing in between heaven and earth like a point of navigation for sailors.
It was as if his presence could hold up the sky when it was falling down.
Henry, a male adult and a big-shot trust fund baby who had gotten himself into countless troubles in the past, actually felt an unprecedented sense of security in Jasper.
As long as this big guy Jasper was around, even if he poked a hole in the sky, Jasper would still be able to help him clean up the mess.
At this moment, Erik suppressed the astonishment and the trace of fear in his heart that he refused to acknowledge. He gritted his teeth, saying, “Jasper, are you trying to go down with me?”
Jasper said calmly, “You’ve overestimated yourself. This is just a company. I can easily get Henry to register another 17 or 18 companies. As for the project proposal, if you like it, then take it. You think I can’t do a better one?”
Erik stared fixedly at Jasper, then suddenly raged. “Fine! Since that’s what you said, I don’t think this negotiation can go on.
“No more negotiations!”
Jasper suddenly raised his volume. “The Laws can afford to bear this loss, but after this, I can tell you clearly that the Turners and these two clowns will be the number one enemy of the Laws and all of Harbor City’s business groups!
“Harbor City groups and me, Jasper Laine, will attack all industries of the Turners at all cost! From this moment onward, we will begin a full-scale war!
“Only one of us can win this battle. No peace will be made!”
His voice echoed in the magnificent hall.
There was central air-conditioning in this five-star hotel private room, so naturally, the air should be extremely cooling and refreshing.
Erik, however, felt a stifling feeling in his heart. It was as if he could not breathe.
Henry was so excited his blood started surging and boiling. He was eager to scream out at the top of his lungs to release the pent-up emotions inside of him.
Domineering!
Jasper was simply too domineering!
The amount of pomposity he had!
Henry stared at Jasper with bright eyes and thought, ‘If I can one day be as pompous and domineering, I’ll be sure to die with no regrets!’
