Life at The Top novel Chapter 1403

“You idiot.”

The young man sneered, leaned closer to Jake’s face, and said in a low voice, “Yes, I am playing dirty. What are you going to do about it?”

“You want to fight Mr. Atticus? Why don’t you look at how many lives you have?”

Jake suddenly felt as if he had plunged into an icy lake. Sure enough, Fabian was driven to desperate action. Since he could not beat the rules, he directly used the underground power in Harbor City to begin to break the rules.

Jake calmed down when he thought this through. He wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth after he was slapped and said coldly, “I’ll remember you. When my boss knows about the situation here, be careful because you won’t hear the end of this!”

Panic flashed across the young man‘s eyes, but then there was firmness and rancor. He raised his hand and slapped Jake again. With a slap, Jake’s head snapped to one side and his cheek swelled up.

The stock traders under Jake had good relationships with him. Seeing that Jake had been slapped twice in a row, two young men could not control themselves and they wanted to rush forward.

“What? Do you guys want to have a taste too?”

The young man shouted.

“Nobody move!”

Jake quickly stopped them too.

Fabian was obviously ignoring the rules right now. Hence, he started playing dirty.

Jake was not an idiot and he knew this was not the time to be impulsive. It was clear that they could not win against the men. Only idiots would allow someone to beat them up for no reason.

“All of you, stand over there. Just let them do whatever they want.”

Jake looked at the young man coldly and said to his team.

“Hehe, you’re pretty smart” The young man waved his hand and ordered. “Take all of them away.”

“I can cooperate but I have to make a call first,” Jake said suddenly.

The young man said in an icy tone, “Do you think you are qualified to talk terms with me?”

Jake replied emotionlessly, “You’re just working for someone and we know this very well. So, you don’t need to go overboard in some cases. If not, my boss will not forgive you.”

“You have to think clearly. If Fabian is hiring you guys, it means that my boss is strong enough to take him down. When that happens do you think Fabian will save you?

“Now, you’re just Fabian’s dog. After a dog goes out to bite someone, the victim will only go to the dog’s owner and not the dog. However, if you go overboard in this, then I guess you might have to suffer the consequences.”

The young man’s face fell.

He wanted to slap Jake again.

However, when he looked at Jake’s icy gaze, he gave up. He knew that Jake was right.

He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds. Then, the young man said frigidly, “I’ll only give you one minute.”

Jake let out a sigh of relief and immediately called Jasper.

“What happened? Why did the video call drop all of a sudden?” Jasper asked while frowning.

Jake did not have time to explain. He said immediately, “Mr. Laine, Fabian was driven to desperate action. He called a group of random thugs to take us away. We’ll be fine, but you have to immediately get someone to take over for me, Mr. Laine…”

Before Jake could finish, the young man grabbed Jake’s phone and hung up.

“Time’s up,” the young man said coldly.
