Echo’s breathing paused when he heard Jasper’s demand.
He felt like Jasper had played him like a fool.
‘Why the f*ck did you smile if you’re not planning to compromise?!’
The corner of Echo’s eye twitched as he stared at Jasper intently.
He was extremely unwilling to do this.
Echo personally believed his status and power were beyond what Jasper could ever achieve. There was no way a slightly wealthy Somer businessman could compare to Softwin, an international investment bank.
Echo thought that he had the ability to crush Jasper at anytime.
Yet, here he was, still in Jasper’s company as the man acted like a rascal and threatened his personal safety. Because of this, Echo felt the strength leave his body.
“You’re testing my patience.”
Jasper looked at Echo coldly. “If you’re so reluctant, then you leave me no choice but to get justice in my own way.”
“Jul, teach him how to be respectful. The ancestors of Sunrise Land learned how to self-sustain from their Somer ancestors, but it seems like they’ve forgotten the concept of humanity.”
Julian acknowledged excitedly and moved to attack. He had been holding himself back for a very long time.
Echo reacted quickly. He knew that Jasper meant what he said, especially considering the man had already hurt Yona.
Seeing that there was no more room for negotiation, Echo clenched his jaw and squeezed his eyes shut as he shouted, “Okay! I’ll apologize!
“I’m sorry! I was disrespectful, I shouldn’t have insulted or discriminated against Somerland. I’m sorry! I apologize for my behavior!”
The words seemed to have used up all of Echo’s strength, for the man was panting and sweating once he finished speaking. He looked at Jasper cold and resentfully as he asked, “Are you happy now?”
Jasper glanced at Echo indifferently and turned his body sideways to reveal Wendy’s figure.
