Jasper crossed his arms and chuckled. “See? So you did find help, after all. It seems like Kennedy doesn’t really trust you, considering how openly he asks you to get rid of me while he secretly asks someone else for help.
“Call it help or whatever else, but none of them truly trust your ability, do they?”
“…”
Zayden glared at Jasper. This time, he did not even dare to refute him.
Jasper was just too terrifying, much more terrifying than the people he had met in Harbor City too.
With just a few words here and there, Jasper had managed to guess most of the truth from the small details and loopholes in his words.
“I didn’t say anything at all. As to whether I have accomplices or not, well you can think whatever you want. Are you done? If you are, then get the f*ck out of my house. You’re not welcome here!”
Right after that, Zayden’s phone rang.
Zayden glanced at the number displayed and suddenly laughed. “You want to know who my accomplices are, right, Jasper? Then I’ll call him over right now.”
Zayden then accepted the call.
“I’ve already prepared everyone we need, Zayden. I’m just waiting for confirmation from your side now. We can make our move tomorrow.” Sirius’ voice sounded from the other end of the line.
Zayden smiled and replied, “I’ve changed my mind, Uncle Sirius. We’re still going to make a move, but don’t you think it’d feel much better to see our enemy stand there and unable to do anything as everything unfolds at the same time?”
Sirius frowned. “What do you mean?”
“You know where I’m staying right now, right? Come over as fast as you can. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Zayden then hung up the phone. Turning around, he stared at Jasper resentfully and wretchedly.
“Just wait, Jasper. You’re going to realize very soon that all your pride and arrogance are just a facade. You’ll lose everything you have.
“I’d really like to see what you look like when you’re hopeless and terrified.”
Zayden stared at Jasper and guffawed. “Now that I think about it, I’m so excited I can’t even wait anymore. Oh, I just hope that day will come soon.
“Remember everything I’m telling you now, Jasper. Everything you have, be it your money, your status, or your women, I will take everything from you and you won’t be able to do anything but watch! This is what you get for offending too many people you never should have!”
Jasper looked down from where he stood by the window. On the first floor of the building that was pitch-black hid a few cars with red and blue lights. There were also the shadows of a few people who were standing alert.
“Your Uncle Sirius? That’s your accomplice?” Jasper asked calmly.
Zayden smiled. “Exactly, but so what if you know now? It’s too late anyway! You only have your own arrogance to blame!”
At the same time, the atmosphere was heavy in a car downstairs.
Jasper’s Aunt Honey and her husband were both there. Wiping her tears with a tissue, Honey sobbed. “Oh Lord, how could Terence be so blind?!”
Darrel sighed. “It’s just as Jasper said, there’s no saving him anymore. Jasper told me before that Terence would sell him out but I didn’t want to believe him. Now that I’m seeing it for myself, it looks like Jasper was right.”
Jasper’s uncle sighed deeply. “So you’re telling me we have to send Terence to prison ourselves?”
“Dad!” Darrel shouted, pointing at the officers outside the car. “You see it too, don’t you? It’s already a fact that they’re going to catch him. There’s no way Terence can run anymore. But he’s not the culprit, he’s just the accomplice at most. We’re saving him here. If we let him continue to act rashly, who knows what big trouble he’s going to get himself into next time?!”
