Life at The Top novel Chapter 1923

There was absolutely no possibility of

compromise after Jasper said that.

Mr. Phoenix’s expression changed for a

while. If he originally had the authority to

negotiate terms with Jasper, after looking

at his brother that was taken as hostage, h

e knew that the other party had already

predicted every move he would make.

“I-I was just hired to do this. Please don’t

make things hard for me,” Mr. Phoenix

said in pain.

“I knew you wouldn’t have the guts to do

this by yourself. I won’t split hairs with

you, I will only target the people behind

you.”

Jasper promised, but soon, he continued,

But the condition of this promise is that my person is not injured.”

“That’s for sure.”

Mr. Phoenix was so thankful that he was

kind to Wendy this whole time and did not

even touch her with his fingers.

Inexorably, he felt that his caution and

vigilance had saved his life.

“She’s in the room. You can go in,” Mr. Phoenix said. “Mr. Phoenix, what if he goes back on his

promise after this?”

Phoenix’s subordinates were frightened b y what Jasper said just now. Therefore, they quickly asked when they saw that Phoenix had compromised.

“Go back on my promise? I don’t have the time for that.”

Jasper said as he walked towards the third

“Wait, give me back my brother,”

Phoenix said.

“Julian, return the boy to him,” Jasper

ordered.

Julian nodded, flicked his hand, and sent the boy who was struggling in his grip to Phoenix.

Phoenix hugged his younger brother. Then, he looked at Jasper and asked, “Are you not afraid that I will fight you to death?”.

“You are not qualified to do so.”

After Jasper finished speaking, he turned

his head and left.

Julian, who was following behind Jasper,

paused when he passed Phoenix.

Suddenly, he raised his hand.

This unwarranted action frightened

Phoenix and the others. They

subconsciously assumed a defensive

stance like someone who was easily

frightened. Phoenix even took out the gun

that was attached to his waistband.

However, in the next second, they saw

that Julian was just propping his hand on

the wall and he did not mean to hit them a

t all.

When Phoenix was still in shock, Julian

had already followed Jasper upstairs.

Only then did Phoenix notice the deep

palm print on the wall…

This scene was even more horrifying than

the most bizarre movie they had ever
