“I didn’t say that you did,” Henry replied, stopping in front of him. He wrapped his arm around Zane’s shoulder. “Why’d you even suggest that? Did you provoke me behind my back without my knowledge?” He asked in a cheery tone.
Zane, who was overcome with guilt, glanced at Jasper instinctively. However, he instantly returned to his senses and looked away from Jasper. He tried to pry off Henry’s hand.
“I did not do anything to you, so let’s both mind our own business. Don’t cling to me like that–we’re not that close to each other.”
“Oh.”
Henry patted Zane’s face with a wide smile across his face as he continued to speak, “I haven’t seen you in a few days, but it seems like your temper has improved. Why won’t you let me cling to you? In the past, you didn’t even dare to breathe loudly in front of me. I’ve just left Harbor City for a few days, and now you’re acting up against me.”
While Henry spoke, he cast a brief glance at Mitch Langdon, whose expression was dark and overcast. “Do you think that you can go against me because this guy is here?” He asked.
Zane stared at Mitch, silently pleading him for help.
Mitch could not bear to watch Henry bully Zane in front of him. After all, one still had to check with a dog’s master before hitting a dog.
“That’s enough from you, Law. We’re just here to look around. Why are you coming after us?”
Henry let out an evil snicker. He was acting like a gangster right now. “I didn’t ask you why you were here. Why are you in such a hurry to explain things to me? Are you here with an ulterior motive or something?” He asked.
“But, with an idiot like him…”
Henry patted Zane’s face again and scoffed. “I’m afraid nothing good will come your way.”
Zane’s face flushed red in anger. Rage surged through him as he flung off Henry’s arm and said angrily, “Henry Law, you’re crossing the line!”
Henry scoffed after his arm was thrown away. “Oh, why are you so pissed off today, little mutt? Do you want me to play with you?” He cooed.
Zane huffed in annoyance and said, “Who do you think you are? You’re just one of Jasper Laine’s followers. Do you think that you’re that much better than me? What a f*cking disgrace to Harbor City. How did someone like you get born in Harbor City?”
Mitch’s expression changed as soon as Zane finished speaking.
He knew that Henry despised such words the most.
As expected, a vicious rage flashed across Henry’s gaze. He stared at Zane emotionlessly.
“Motherf*cker,” Henry spitted out as he slapped Zane across his face. “Why can’t you talk to me properly? Are you asking for a beating?”
Zane shouted out in pain. He held his face with his hand and roared out in anger, “I’ve had enough of you, Law! Don’t f*cking force me to do something that you’ll regret!”
“Force you?” Henry sneered. “Even if I force you to die, what can you do to me? Motherf*cker,” he cursed.
“How dare you ask me not to force you to do anything? Do you think that you’re the main villain that everyone fails to defeat in a game? You’re nobody. You’re just a piece of worthless trash, idiot.”
Mitch took in a deep breath and put himself in front of Zane in order to prevent the dimwit from acting rashly.
“Gloat as much as you want, Henry Law. Let’s see how long all of this will last!” Mitch said, trying his best to suppress the burning anger within him.
“Oh? From what you just said, it seems like your devious scheme is yet to be in action.” Henry asked with narrowed eyes.
Mitch sneered and replied, “Those are your own words. I didn’t mention anything about a scheme.”
The commotion caused by Henry and Zane’s argument attracted a lot of attention. Jasper, who was paying some attention to them from a distance away, frowned slightly. Hence, he excused himself from the officials that he was talking to and headed over to the group.
As he made his way over, he coincidentally overheard what Mitch had said.
“Are the both of you here to celebrate the completion of the Southface River project?” Jasper asked with a smile.
Zane glared at Jasper and huffed in irritation. “I’m afraid that you’ve overthinking our actions,” he replied.
