This was within his expectation.
In fact, Jasper had already known from the start that he and Henry would not be able to handle this themselves.
He was only doing so much because he had other plans in mind.
Therefore, at this moment, Jasper did not say a word and only turned around to leave.
Henry seemed to have moved on as well. He glanced coldly at Erik before walking out.
Julian was the last to leave. Before he left, he even grinned at Erik.
“Hurry up and send that glove of yours to the hospital. He could be crippled for life if you send him too late.”
Having said that, Julian swaggered away without bothering to look at the abrupt change in Erik’s expression.
As soon as Jasper and his group left, Lisa shouted to Erik, “Erik, come and take a look! Ben has… He passed out. There’s so much blood!”
Erik’s expression changed. If Ben died here, then this whole affair would turn into a huge mess.
“Hurry up and call an ambulance!”
…
In the car on their way back.
“You killed Ben, Julian?” Henry craned his neck and asked Julian who was driving the car.
Julian said with delight, “I wouldn’t dare. Jasp only told me to beat him up, so I broke his tailbone. If he receives timely treatment, then half a year will be enough for him to recuperate. If his treatment is delayed, then he could be crippled for life.”
“Ouch…”
Henry gasped.
“Teach me this move someday, it’s so darn cool.”
Jasper thought that Henry had learned his lesson but he realized that he had underestimated this young man’s spoiled nature. He did not take this matter seriously at all and was even eager to learn a new move.
“You won’t be able to stand it, Young Master Law. Martial arts training is really hard,” Julian said honestly.
“Do I look like someone who can’t endure hardships?” Henry asked, unconvinced.
“Yes,” Julian replied sincerely.
“You!” Henry was furious, then sighed and said, “You’re right.”
After making jokes with Julian, Henry turned to Jasper and said, “I’ve decided.”
“What?” Jasper asked with a smile.
“I’ll go straight to Old Master Law and confess everything.” Henry sighed.
“You’ve thought it through? You’re not afraid anymore?” Jasper asked curiously.
Henry said grumpily, “You think I can’t tell that Erik, that idiot, isn’t going to return us the things? He even tried to get us to go down on our knees! I’ll f*cking feed him to the fish sooner or later.
“I can’t keep this a secret for long. I may be afraid to go back and confess, but you’ve done so many things just to let me know that I have to pay a price for the trouble I’ve caused.”
Henry’s remarks made Jasper look at him in a new light.
“Not bad. I did so many things just to help you understand that there will be innumerable underhanded tactics in the ever-changing business world.
“Your grandfather will grow old, and your father can’t protect you forever. They will leave before you no matter what. You need to learn how to walk through the storm yourself.”
Henry nodded with a gloomy expression. Staring dazedly at the busy night scene of Swallow Capital and the endless stream of cars, he said, “Yeah, it’s time I learn something.”
Jasper was just about to console him by saying things like a prodigal who turned over a new leaf was more precious than gold or something along the line when the man’s face lit up a split second later.
“You can protect me forever, though? You’re younger than me, so you’re not going to die before me, right?”
“Julian.”
“Yes!”
“Stop the car and throw this idiot into the sea.”
