Life at The Top novel Chapter 339

Erik turned to look at Jim as he lay on the hospital bed, his eyes twitching wildly.

He took a deep breath and said, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? Why don’t you ask someone to beat me up then?”

“That’s a good idea,” Henry said with a grin, “I meant to hire someone to put you in a sack and then soak you in the sea for a few hours to cool you down, but someone refuses to let me do it.”

As he said that, Henry shrugged, looking as if it was a shame.

Erik gritted his teeth with a sullen expression. He had never seen anyone so arrogant, telling to his face that they planned to soak him in the sea?

This was simply a humiliation to Erik!

He looked up at Jasper, knowing that he was the person who would ultimately decide his fate.

Jasper, however, turned to Jim and asked, “Uncle Jim, what do you plan to do? If you want to return the punches then just say the word and I’ll get it done immediately.”

Erik gritted his teeth. He could tell that Jasper was serious about it. As long as Jim nodded, then he would not be able to escape the brutal beating he would get today.

Jim was lying on the hospital bed, feeling a little flattered.

He did not expect himself to one day have the power to decide Erik’s life and death.

It might sound a little exaggerated to say life and death, but the brutal beating he had suffered was enough to leave anyone’s life hanging by a thread.

He did not expect an insignificant figure like him to one day experience this high point in life.

For some reason, Jim had a sudden realization that nothing in this world was constant.

After thinking for a while, Jim smiled at Jasper and said, “Forget it, Jasper.”

Jasper raised his eyebrows slightly. When he was about to speak, Jim spoke again.

“Jasper, this is what I really think. If revenge breeds revenge, will there ever be an end to it? That doesn’t mean anything. It’s only natural for us to retaliate after we’re bullied, but we can always adopt other means.

“After all, harmony is the most important thing in the business field. I’ll let you decide the specifics of what you want to do. I don’t have an opinion on this.”
