Julian would not go easy on whoever decided to step up now.
Prince crawled up from the floor and wiped off the alcohol on his face. He roared, “You killed someone in Waterhoof City, Henry. Forget your Dad, even if your grandfather came he’d still need to make up for your actions.”
“I won’t back down on this at all, Henry. I won’t let this go until I watch you get sent to jail! ”
“Then get to it, would you?” Henry stared at Prince. “You taking all this time to talk instead of acting is making me look down on you.”
Prince had initially believed that Henry would surrender to him in utter fear. The stark difference of reality had Prince feeling like a stranger in this world.
Henry was the one who got into big trouble, yet the man was acting more arrogant than Prince was.
Prince wondered if Henry was an idiot or if he was truly fearless.
Prince thought back to how this was Conrad ’s idea but his own plan. While simple, this plan was effective and without any loopholes. So Prince believed that Henry was being too arrogant and confident.
“Fine. You can’t blame me if you’ve got a death wish. I’ll immediately contact the authorities to have you thrown in jail tonight!”
“You think that just because you’re from the Law family it means you can be as arrogant as you want?”
“You’ll always have to pay for taking others’ lives no matter where you go. Not to mention that I’m here making sure it happens! If you have to blame someone then blame your own arrogance for all of this!”
“Who’s arrogant?”
A voice interrupted the scene.
Henry’s expression turned joyful and Julian sighed in relief when they heard the voice.
Prince was the only one whose expression darkened. The man tensed as if faced with a powerful enemy, as if there was some mythical monster that had rushed into the room.
The private room door was pushed open and in strolled Jasper.
