“F*cking hell! You ignorant and stupid f*cker. Who the f*ck do you think you are, hmm? The country has more than 100 cities like Reed City, but you think you’re the sh*t?
“You think that just because people in Reed City call you ‘Young Master’ that you’re suddenly some trust-fund baby? F*cking bullsh*t! It’s ignorant b*stards like you who don’t know sh*t who has tarnished the reputation of all trust-fund babies!”
Henry swung the baton as he spoke, the act now looking like a form of art in his hands. The baton knocked on Ned again and again, and after a couple of hits, Ned had lost even the strength to make a sound. He lay on the floor and twitched, seemingly half a breath away from death.
“That’s enough, Henry.” Jasper stopped the man.
Henry might actually kill Ned in his fit of rage if he kept attacking.
Jasper did not care if Ned died, but he would not take revenge on someone as pointless as Ned. The main targets were the Adkins and Coine families supporting Ned. Killing Ned now would only further complicate this already complicated situation.
Henry heard Jasper and passed the baton back to the bodyguard with a pant.
Feeling hot from all the action, Henry loosened his collar and pointed at Ned who lay limply on the ground. “Drag this pile of flesh out to the corridor. We’re at the hospital anyway, so just leave him there.”
Two bodyguards quickly came over and bent down to grab a leg each before they dragged Ned over.
Everything was done with such practiced ease that it was proof this was not the first time they had helped Henry do such a thing.
After Ned was dragged away, Henry came to Jasper’s bed and chuckled. “You weren’t being nice this time. You know how much I like bullying *ssholes like him, so how could you come here and have fun all by yourself without me?”
“Yes, so fun I landed in the hospital,” Jasper spat back irritatedly.
Henry was elated. “Thank goodness you’re alright. Or this would be a much greater problem.”
“The old master knows?” Jasper asked in shock.
“Not yet, we’re hiding it from him. But my dad knows, “ Henry replied with a beam.
“He told me to tell you to screw them over. Do whatever you want and f*ck them up. Not for yourself, but for investors like us so we can have a better environment to invest in.”
“Let’s be honest, you’re not the only one who’s had to deal with this. The Law family has had to deal with this in too many places when we wanted to invest in those locations. Absolutely disgusting behavior. My dad has decided that he’ll make quite a few calls to Swallow Capital this time, so this will most likely blow up to the point where the higher-ups are made aware.”
Jasper frowned and spoke, “That changes the meaning of all of this, then.”
“So what if it changes? Were you planning to just leave the matter be?” Henry glared at him from the corners of his eyes.
“Bullsh*t.” Jasper’s expression was dark. “I almost died, there’s no way I’m leaving this alone.”
Henry broke into a wide smile. “There we go. Don’t worry about it, you have the higher-ups supporting you. An eye for an eye.”
Henry had just finished speaking when someone knocked on the door.
Hearing that Mr. Powers had come to visit him, Henry spoke calmly, “Let him in.”
The door to the ward opened and Mr. Powers smiled bitterly at the sight of Jasper sitting indifferently on the hospital bed. “You look resentful, Mr. Laine.”
