His sudden roar that came without a warning sign shocked everyone in the room. Everyone turned around to look at them bewilderedly. Then, they looked at George who was holding his face with pain and grievance with pity in their eyes. They shook their heads at the same time.
Mr. Combe was hot-tempered and arrogant. This was not the first time he hit someone without any warning signs.
“You said you’re working for me and those people named Jasper and Jim hit you. It means they’re indirectly slapping me across the face! And you just came back after getting f*cking beaten up? How do you even have the guts to come back?”
Hector grabbed George’s collar with sinister eyes.
“Don’t you know how to get a few people to kill him?”
George trembled as he looked into Hector’s icy gaze. He said with a shaky voice, “Mr. Combe, I-I was wrong.”
“You good-for-nothing!”
Hector pushed George away, and his eyes were twinkling with an icy glint.
“Jasper Laine? I’ve never heard about this rat before and he dares to fight over this with me? How ballsy.”
After he said that, Hector took out his phone to make a call with a gloomy look on his face.
After a while, the call went through.
“Mr. Combe, is there anything I can help you with?” Jim’s neither obsequious nor supercilious voice sounded from the other end.
Hector smiled sinisterly and said coldly, “I don’t care who you or that son of a b*tch Jasper are, but if you want to fight against me in Swallow Capital, you need to know your place!
“Today, I’m having dinner with Easy Media. Don’t you guys want to buy Easy Media as well? Alright, don’t say that I’m not giving that son of a b*tch a chance. Ask him to show up if he has the guts!
“In Swallow Capital, nobody dares to fight me for what I want. Tell that son of a b*tch what I said. If he has the balls to show up tonight, I’ll respect him for being an honorable man before I kill him. If he doesn’t have the guts to do so, then I’ll kill him directly!”
On the other end of the phone, Jim had a complicated look on his face after he hung up.
How would he not know that this was a banquet set up to attack a guest?
