“F*cking hell! You ignorant and stupid f*cker. Who the f*ck do you think you are, hmm? The country has more than 100 cities like Reed City, but you think you’re the sh*t?
“You think that just because people in Reed City call you ‘Young Master’ that you’re suddenly some trust-fund baby? F*cking bullsh*t! It’s ignorant b*stards like you who don’t know sh*t who has tarnished the reputation of all trust-fund babies!”
Henry swung the baton as he spoke, the act now looking like a form of art in his hands. The baton knocked on Ned again and again, and after a couple of hits, Ned had lost even the strength to make a sound. He lay on the floor and twitched, seemingly half a breath away from death.
“That’s enough, Henry.” Jasper stopped the man.
Henry might actually kill Ned in his fit of rage if he kept attacking.
Jasper did not care if Ned died, but he would not take revenge on someone as pointless as Ned. The main targets were the Adkins and Coine families supporting Ned. Killing Ned now would only further complicate this already complicated situation.
Henry heard Jasper and passed the baton back to the bodyguard with a pant.
Feeling hot from all the action, Henry loosened his collar and pointed at Ned who lay limply on the ground. “Drag this pile of flesh out to the corridor. We’re at the hospital anyway, so just leave him there.”
Two bodyguards quickly came over and bent down to grab a leg each before they dragged Ned over.
Everything was done with such practiced ease that it was proof this was not the first time they had helped Henry do such a thing.
After Ned was dragged away, Henry came to Jasper’s bed and chuckled. “You weren’t being nice this time. You know how much I like bullying *ssholes like him, so how could you come here and have fun all by yourself without me?”
“Yes, so fun I landed in the hospital,” Jasper spat back irritatedly.
