After the initial panic, Hans was no longer afraid.
He had experienced similar things before.
Hans had plenty of experience getting caught on the spot when he tried to use dirty tricks to mess with other people’s wives or daughters.
So what?
He was a Hull.
He was Ian’s younger brother.
The Hulls were an integral component of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.
He had experienced many things and settled all of them with money and authority.
As time passed, Hans understood how things worked.
It was no big deal for him to mess with women, not when he had attained equal status such as the Hulls…
The punishment he would receive was nothing more than compensation and compromises.
When the other party had received benefits, they would know better than to fight the Hulls to the end.
In Hans’ opinion, the incident today was no exception.
This was Jasper Laine, but so what?
If a businessman wanted to survive in this field, he would know better than to fight the Hulls to the end for the sake of a woman.
Hans knew that he held the winning card.
The Hulls could just compensate them for everything that happened today in the follow-up negotiations.
He did not realize that Jasper’s gaze was getting increasingly colder as he stared at him.
“Julian!”
Jasper let out a low growl.
“Yes!”
Julian’s nerves were taut, ever ready to take action.
As soon as Jasper gave his orders, he could not care less who the person standing in front of him was.
Even if it was a man of high esteem, he would kill that man first before anything else.
The viciousness in Julian’s heart was no less than that of Jasper’s.
In Julian’s opinion, this was all a result of his negligence.
He was even mentally prepared to kill everyone present and surrender himself to the authorities after that.
This was all to repay Jasper and Wendy for their help and to make up for his mistake!
“Castrate him.”
Jasper’s words were like a steel knife, piercing deeply into Hans’ heart.
Hans’ complexion changed for the first time ever. He took a step back in horror and raged, “Don’t you dare, Jasper Laine!”
Up until now, he still thought that Jasper was only intimidating him. Once he had forced himself to calm down, Hans softened his tone slightly.
“Don’t act on impulse, Jasper. The Hulls will not spare you if you do this. This means vengeance! Is it really necessary for you to do this for a woman? Think about it!”
Jasper looked at Hans and said coldly, “I’m a man who will not attack unless I’m attacked. If I’m attacked, I will certainly return the attack tenfold. Unfortunately, both of you have infuriated me completely.
“I didn’t even know that I could come so close to losing my mind getting so furious about one thing…
“Benefits? Compromise? They can all go and f*ck themselves!
“The Hulls are not worth making compromises with. Even if a man of high esteem is the one standing before me today, I will still cripple you first!”
Jasper seemed to be talking to Ben and Hans, but at the same time, he seemed to be talking to himself.
A man needed to learn how to submit to reality.
A man would lick the dust before society.
A man would yield in exchange for a meal on the table.
In order to survive.
In order to live.
It was because he needed to bow down for his family, and only by doing so could he keep them safe.
