Jasper waved his hand and Julian immediately turned off the deafening music in the private room. Then, he ushered the girls who were drinking with Terence out the room as well.
The rowdy private room instantly quietened.
“This is how Zayden makes you work for him?” Jasper asked with a wide smile.
Terence’s expression darkened as he asked grimly, “What do you want from me?”
“Bring me to see Zayden,” Jasper stated calmly.
Terence was stunned for a moment before he scoffed. “Are you crazy? You want me to bring you to see Zayden now?”
Jasper clasped his hands together and placed them under his chin, saying to Terence, “I’m informing you, not discussing this with you. Do you understand the situation you’re in?”
Terence huffed. “Didn’t you tell me to find out who else he’s in contact with? I’ve only been back for a few hours and you want to see him already? How am I supposed to help you do anything then?”
All Terence wanted to do now was find an excuse to escape and then immediately tell Zayden the news.
“I’m pretty sure you’ve already said all you have to and Zayden has already done all he needs to in these past few hours. It’s the perfect time for me to meet the man himself.”
After he finished speaking, Jasper no longer had the patience to waste more of his time on Terence. He gave Julian a look.
Julian walked over to Terence expressionlessly and spoke, “Would you like me to move you, or are you going to move yourself?”
Terence was terrified by the mere sight of Julian. A painful lesson had taught him that this man could kill him as though he was an ant.
“I’ll bring you two there!” Terence clenched his jaw.
Jasper stood in satisfaction, speaking as he walked, “Don’t think about trying anything. There’s a limit to my patience.”
Terence sighed at the words. Despondent, he completely gave up on the idea of leading them the wrong way.
After exiting the bar, Terence complied obediently and brought Jasper upstairs to the door of the apartment on the highest floor where Zayden lived.
“He lives here,” Terence claimed as they arrived at the doorstep.
Julian walked toward the door and looked inside through the peephole for a while. Then, he turned to Jasper and shook his head. “There are no signs of people inside, Jasper.”
Terence’s expression changed as he spoke, “I’m not lying to you at all. This is where I go whenever I’m looking for him.”
Jasper then turned to Julian. “Is there any way to enter?”
Julian smiled and replied, “Easy.”
He walked toward the window at the end of the corridor. Grabbing the upper edge of the window with one hand, he crawled in an agile manner and climbed along the pipelines.
“What the f*ck, this is the 16th floor!” Terence was startled.
Less than a minute later, Julian opened the apartment door from inside.
“I’ve checked the apartment, Jasper. It’s empty,” Julian replied.
Jasper entered the house with his hands behind his back and replied, “This old friend of ours must’ve gone to meet his friends. Let’s wait for him inside.”
Terence averted his gaze and turned to leave, only to have Julian stand right before his path, blocking him.
“Jasper did not say you could leave,” Julian stated calmly.
Terence replied wretchedly, “I’m your master’s cousin. You’d better treat me with respect, you’re nothing more than Jasper’s slav—”
“Slap him, Jul.”
Jasper’s voice sounded from the house.
Without hesitation, Julian raised his arm and sent a slap across Terence’s face.
Despite already controlling his strength, the slap still had Terence feeling dizzy while blood seeped out from the corner of his lips.
