Fabian’s action caused the expression on Henry’s face to freeze for the first time tonight.
This was beyond Henry’s expectations.
At this moment, he wanted badly to press pause and call Jasper to ask him what he should do.
Before he departed, Jasper told him so many things, including what he needed to do and say. Jasper instructed him on what he should do in all kinds of different situations.
Even though Jasper had not met Matt or Fabian, he predicted what their reactions would be.
That was why Henry was able to handle this matter so skillfully and easily.
Even though Henry’s growth during this period also played a huge role in this, the key factor was Jasper’s accurate predictions. It seemed that he had perfectly predicted how Fabian would react in every situation.
How was Fabian supposed to win in this kind of setting?
However, Fabian still did the unexpected after they managed to predict everything before this to a tea.
He stood in front of the villa and bet on the fact that Henry would not dare to light the fire.
If Henry lit the fire, Fabian would die right here.
Even if Henry had a impressive background and amazing abilities, he would need to suffer the consequences for this crime.
The Laws were powerful, but the Atticus family were no pushovers.
This would easily become a battle where the two families fought to the death. No one would be able to do anything to stop them.
The Laws would definitely protect Henry, but if the Atticus family lost Fabian, how would they be willing to just let this go?
None of the families would be able to bear it if they accidentally killed someone. They could argue and fight, but there was still a limit when it came to conducting their business.
Coincidentally, Henry had been a devil incarnate for so many years that he knew his limits very well. He would make people hate him, but they would not dare to risk everything to seek revenge against him because they were scared of the Laws’ power. Even the before him worm did not retaliate, so what more those families?
However, so many years had passed as the number of second generations that Henry had bullied were numerous enough form a union. Even so, Henry was still fine.
This was not just because the Laws were powerful, but also because Henry knew his limits.
He never truly caused anything irreversible.
“Henry, why don’t we just leave it at that?”
At this moment, Alex was terrified and felt remorseful.
Just a small spark would be able to cause a fire that would devour this villa and the entirety of Harbor City.
