Ben looked at Jasper in horror.
Henry had given Ben quite the fright earlier, but when he looked at Jasper’s calm and tranquil expression, he suddenly realized that the most terrifying person in the world was not the one who would hit you with a fist.
Instead, it was someone like Jasper, one who was clearly talking to you in an amicable manner yet could send chills down your spine.
Ben regretted provoking Jasper.
He also felt a great sense of remorse for seeking revenge after he was humiliated by Henry. Why did he not just grit his teeth and let this matter drop?
Now, he had not only turned into Erik’s pawn, but he had also offended Jasper greatly.
If Erik won this battle in the end, then he would have nothing to worry about. If Jasper won, however, then Ben could not even begin to imagine the horrible consequences he would face.
It would definitely be more terrifying than death itself!
While gritting his teeth, Ben wiped the blood on his nose and stood up with Lisa’s help.
“I’ll definitely pass on your message!” Ben spoke between clenched teeth.
“Hopefully you will,” Jasper said lightly.
Ben and Lisa dared not say another word. No one could tell for sure if Henry would rush over and beat them up again.
If they got beaten by Henry here, then there was simply nothing they could do because they could not return the punches at all.
The two held each other and walked to the door. As soon as they opened the door, they heard Jasper’s voice.
“Many times, you will only have one chance. I hope you make the right decision because the consequences will be really serious if you don’t.”
When Ben and Lisa heard what Jasper said, they trembled at the same time for some reason.
