Conrad suddenly fainting was the last thing anyone had anticipated.
Zane was misfortunate enough to be standing opposite Conrad, so the blood Conrad spat out before he fainted ended up splashing all over Zane’s face.
Warm and fresh blood with a heavy metallic scent covered his entire face.
Taken aback, Zane began to wipe his face and scream crazily as though there was fire under his feet.
On the other end of the room, the middle-aged man’s expression changed and he immediately caught Conrad. Carrying him in his arms, the middle-aged man turned to shout at his subordinates, “Quick, we’re sending him to the closest hospital now!”
Conrad may be a suspect, but he had yet to be charged by the judge. Not to mention that Conrad was the head of the Monty family. The middle-aged man would be screwed if anything happened to Conrad.
The group frantically brought Conrad away but the embarrassing scene had yet to end.
Ignoring Zane who continued to shout, Jasper looked straight at Mitch.
For some inexplicable reason, Jasper’s gaze sent a harsh shiver wracking through Mitch.
He saw with his own eyes how Jasper infuriated Conrad to the point of actually spitting blood out and fainting.
Under Jasper’s calm gaze, indescribable fright spread all over Mitch’s body.
“What do you want?”
Mitch growled fiercely. His expression was defensive as if he was trying to scare Jasper away by shouting.
“Are you afraid of me?” Jasper asked with some intrigue.
Mitch scoffed and suppressed the unease within him, replying, “Afraid of you? What kind of joke is that? Don’t think that just because we’re in the Mainland it suddenly means you’re above the law, Jasper. You wouldn’t dare hit me.”
