“I’m just a normal businessman, nothing in comparison to the Covingtons, the biggest family in Tefa City.”
Jasper replied coldly.
“But if this is all you can do to make me give up on acquiring Downstream Investment Company, then I’m afraid it’s not enough.”
Jasper’s words caused Scott to flush in embarrassment. Scott glared at Jasper and suddenly began to laugh. With his hands behind his back, the man narrowed his eyes and walked over to Jasper slowly.
Meanwhile, his lackeys stared at Jasper and Julian warily, especially Julian.
After all, everyone had clearly seen how Julian fought.
Baz was nervous as well. He was afraid that Scott would do something to hurt Jasper.
However, Jasper remained unfazed and stood in place as Scott walked over to him.
Scott leaned into Jasper’s personal space slightly and said, “Interesting. Quite interesting indeed.”
“You’re from outside, aren’t you, brat?
“After all, no one would dare to talk to me like this in Tefa City.”
“Oh well, it’s been too long since I’ve had any rivals. I suppose a moron jumping out from time to time is part of the flavors of life. Rather interesting, I’d say.”
“You want Downstream Investment Company, right? Sure, then. The company’s having an auction tomorrow and I’ll be waiting for you here. I’d like to see how you plan to fight over this with me.”
Scott then scoffed wretchedly and poked Jasper’s chest as he said, “Word of advice, don’t go around asking about me. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’d flee overnight and I wouldn’t get to have any fun tomorrow.”
With that, Scott chortled loudly and turned to leave.
“Stand still.”
Jasper said calmly from behind.
Scott did not walk further and turned around to look at Jasper with a snort. “Why, are you afraid? Do you want to beg for mercy? Too late.”
“Unless you have your dog break his own arm.” Scott pointed at Julian when he said that.
“You hit my employee and you want to leave just like that?” Jasper asked calmly.
Scott scoffed and replied, “You hurt my men too, didn’t you? What more do you want?”
“Jul,” Jasper called out.
“Right here.” Julian stood beside Jasper.
“This Young Master Covington put a wound in Baz’s head. Go put the same wound on his head. An eye for an eye.”
Julian immediately pounced once Jasper finished talking.
Scott did not expect Jasper to have Julian attack him. There was no way this man did not fear Julian after everyone saw how ferocious the man fought.
Scott chose to back out temporarily because he was afraid Julian would attack.
The arrogant expression disappeared and Scott shouted, “What are you people waiting for? Come f*cking protect me!”
His lackeys had yet to act when Julian arrived before Scott.
No one saw what Julian did specifically. All they knew was that Julian closed his fingers and slapped Scott’s forehead before he immediately left.
Scott felt his head ache, followed by a searing pain on his forehead.
He did not even have the time to look at his forehead wound when a layer of red dyed his vision.
