“Don’t act so proud, Jasper. Do you think you can step all over me?”
Enraged, Zayden gave up on maintaining pleasantries and sneered at Jasper.
“We’ve clashed many times already, so I think I know you well. You would’ve just dealt with me already if that’s what you had in mind, but instead, you secretly came to look for me in my house. Haha, cut the crap. You’re afraid, aren’t you? You’re afraid of the person supporting me!”
Zayden stared at Jasper and chortled.
“Hmm, not bad. Looks like you’ve learned something after being taught a few harsh lessons,” Jasper turned to Zayden and said.
“Indeed, obstacles are the best way to make a person mature. Look at you now, you’re way more mature than you used to be.”
Zayden’s expression turned more wretched by the minute, and he spoke to Jasper resentfully, “Stop mocking me, Jasper! Do you even know what kind of life I’ve been living in Harbor City for the past half a year? Even dogs have better lives than me!
“Those Harbor City freaks don’t respect me at all. They hit me whenever they’re in a bad mood. I’ve been living a life that’s more lowly than pests!
“But I took all of that in stride because I will never forget that you were the one who made me become like this. I’ve sworn to myself so many times that I’ll make you pay for all the suffering you made me go through. I’ll return it to you a hundredfold!
“And this is only the beginning of my revenge!”
“So that’s why you’re so willing to be Kennedy’s loyal dog? So that you can help him target me?”
Jasper questioned right after Zayden finished speaking.
Without further thought, Zayden replied easily, “Exactly. I’d rather do… Jasper, are you tricking me into talking?!”
Realizing that he had been played, Zayden was enraged and roared.
