Dudley, a serious young man in his twenties, was terrified.
Meanwhile, Alban’s expression was extremely sour.
He felt even more ashamed when Henry gave him a meaningful chuckle.
“Why’re you hiding behind me? It’s not like he can eat you alive!” Alban scolded disappointedly.
He was afraid that news of Alban’s useless son would spread across the country after tonight.
Dudley shuddered but did not dare to talk back, though he did bottle some resentment within him.
After all, he did not see his dad stopping Henry when the other beat him up silly.
With a harrumph, Alban lost his patience. He knew that the situation would end up looking like a circus if Henry was allowed to continue wreaking havoc.
“I know that this is a play you and Henry came up with, Jasper. But for what? You think I’ll be afraid just because of such an insignificant trick? You think I won’t dare to hand this report in?”
“You’re too naive if that’s the case!”
Alban then pulled out his phone and sneered at Jasper as he said, “If you’re going to remain stubborn until you die, then I’ll send you to your grave myself!”
With that, he dialed a number.
Jasper looked at him calmly the entire time, but he did not make any move to stop the man. In fact, Jasper seemed to be looking forward to Alban making this call.
The call connected and Alban spoke solemnly, “Immediately hand the report to the Waterhoof City Government! Inform me once there’s an update!”
With that, Alban hung up the phone.
He looked at Jasper with sinister glee and sneered. “You said that construction of the World Financial Center won’ t be halted, right, Jasper? Just you wait. In a short while, someone will contact you and Waterhoof City will put an emergency stop to your construction!”
After saying this, the people who were deterred and startled by Henry’s anger were immediately energized again.
