Life at The Top novel Chapter 1067

Conrad chuckled and replied, “Of course. You’ve certainly got a better understanding of things than I do, Mr. Atticus.

“But what I hate most are eyesores that just keep blocking my view. The moment someone becomes an eyesore, I just feel the need to kill him.

“The more comfortable this person gets, the more uncomfortable I grow. Therefore, Mr. Monty, I’ll get straight to the point with you.”

Fabian then clapped his hands and the women around him, as well as the ones around Conrad, got up understandingly. They immediately left the third deck to play downstairs.

The third deck was instantly left vacant except for Conrad and Fabian.

Just then, Fabian plopped himself right next to Conrad and reached out to hook his arm around the other man’s neck. He grinned as he said, “I want to get rid of Jasper and I know you do too. So, let’s work together.”

Conrad glanced at Fabian’s arm around his shoulder and frowned slightly.

He was not used to having physical contact with others.

Fabian may seem brash, but he was actually a sensitive man. He immediately realized Conrad’s discomfort.

However, he did not let go of Conrad. Instead, Fabian pulled him in tighter so that Conrad would have to lean into Fabian’s chest unconsciously.

Fabian placed his mouth by Conrad’s cheek and spoke casually, “Do you know what I love doing most?”

Conrad shook his head as a sign of him not knowing.

“I love doing what makes people unhappy.”

Fabian laughed out loud. “I get a rush when you people look irked but can do nothing to stop me!”

Conrad commented expressionlessly, “You’ve got quite the unique tastes, Mr. Atticus.”

Fabian’s smile fell and he let go of Conrad’s neck. He got up and spread his arms wide, facing the open sea as he said.

“Look at this yacht underneath my feet. How much do you think it costs?

“50 million, whilst maintenance alone costs 4 million. There are tons of expenses similar to this, but don’t we live for the rush–the thrill–in life? If we didn’t, it’d be a waste of such a great life we’ve been blessed with.”

The corner of Conrad’s mouth twitched. While everything Fabian said was morally wrong, Conrad had to admit that the other made some sense.

“That’s why we have to have fun with life, and it’s also why anyone that stands in our path deserves to die,” Fabian said, his expression hardening.

Conrad looked up at Fabian and asked with a frown, “I’m curious, Mr. Atticus. Why do you feel the need to get rid of Jasper? From what I know, you two have never even met before.”

Fabian chuckled and replied, “I just don’t like the surname ‘Laine’. Is this reason enough for you?”
