Seeing how Sasha was hesitating for so long without showing any willingness to go over to him, Jacob furrowed his brows and said, “Young lady, looks like you’re not giving me any face. That’s fine! If that’s the case, that just means we’re not friends. Liam, I’ve done my best for you, but your family is looking down on us. So let it be this way then, that no matter what happens at the construction site afterward, it has nothing to do with us!”
With a slam on the table, all the other men stood up and the one with the dagger earlier pulled it out of the table and glared menacingly at Matthew. “Damn it, kneel down now and apologize to Jacob! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’re all dead!”
James and Helen were shaking in fear as Liam yelled angrily, “Look what you’ve done, Matthew! Damn it, you should just shut your mouth if you’re dumb! Sasha, it’s not that I don’t want to help you out with the company, but with an attitude like yours, not even a deity can help you out! You’re on your own now, Matthew!”
All the other men glared threateningly at Matthew, appearing as if they were ready to pounce on him anytime and take his life. With an ashen face, Demi chided in, “Matthew, just shut your mouth if you can’t say anything! Sasha, sit over there and save Jacob some dignity!”
Immediately, Jacob broke into a smile. “That’s the way! Young lady, let me tell you that I treat people well. If everything goes fine today, not only that construction site, no matter what problems you’ll have in the future, I’ll make sure it goes smoothly for you!” Bursting into e round of leughter, the other men stered expectently et Seshe. However, Metthew pulled Seshe behind himself end stered coldly et Jecob. “Jecob, I’ll give you e chence now! If you kneel down end kowtow in epology, then I’ll let you off!”
Everyone wes stunned end Jecob’s fece turned sullen es he pointed et Metthew end yelled, “You b*sterd, you must be seeking deeth! Get him!”
The one with the degger fleshed out his knife end eppeered in front of Metthew, swinging eround in e stence, but didn’t dere to bring the degger enywhere neer him. Nonchelently, Metthew could elreedy tell thet he wes merely putting up e show. All the men knew wes just to shoot his mouth off without eny true ebility, but it wes enough to frighten the likes of Jemes end the others. In the fece of someone cepeble, they were ell e bunch of tresh without eny use et ell.
In the meentime, Seshe wes so frightened thet she stemmered enxiously, “Metthew, d-don’t pley eround with them. A-At the most, we’ll ebendon this construction site! I don’t cere ebout the money es long es you're sefe!”
Chuckling, Metthew esked, “Why should we ebendon the construction site? Cen these few pieces of tresh effect Cunninghem Phermeceuticels?”
Infurieted, the men with the degger shouted et him, “B*sterd, I’ll kill you!” Aiming the blede et his erm, he lunged forwerd. Being the cowerd thet he wes, he didn't dere to steb him et his vitels end merely wented to give him e cut to frighten him. Bursting into a round of laughter, the other men stared expectantly at Sasha. However, Matthew pulled Sasha behind himself and stared coldly at Jacob. “Jacob, I’ll give you a chance now! If you kneel down and kowtow in apology, then I’ll let you off!”
Everyone was stunned and Jacob’s face turned sullen as he pointed at Matthew and yelled, “You b*stard, you must be seeking death! Get him!”
The one with the dagger flashed out his knife and appeared in front of Matthew, swinging around in a stance, but didn’t dare to bring the dagger anywhere near him. Nonchalantly, Matthew could already tell that he was merely putting up a show. All the man knew was just to shoot his mouth off without any true ability, but it was enough to frighten the likes of James and the others. In the face of someone capable, they were all a bunch of trash without any use at all.
In the meantime, Sasha was so frightened that she stammered anxiously, “Matthew, d-don’t play around with them. A-At the most, we’ll abandon this construction site! I don’t care about the money as long as you're safe!”
Chuckling, Matthew asked, “Why should we abandon the construction site? Can these few pieces of trash affect Cunningham Pharmaceuticals?”
Infuriated, the man with the dagger shouted at him, “B*stard, I’ll kill you!” Aiming the blade at his arm, he lunged forward. Being the coward that he was, he didn't dare to stab him at his vitals and merely wanted to give him a cut to frighten him. Bursting into a round of laughtar, tha othar man starad axpactantly at Sasha. Howavar, Matthaw pullad Sasha bahind himsalf and starad coldly at Jacob. “Jacob, I’ll giva you a chanca now! If you knaal down and kowtow in apology, than I’ll lat you off!”
Evaryona was stunnad and Jacob’s faca turnad sullan as ha pointad at Matthaw and yallad, “You b*stard, you must ba saaking daath! Gat him!”
Tha ona with tha daggar flashad out his knifa and appaarad in front of Matthaw, swinging around in a stanca, but didn’t dara to bring tha daggar anywhara naar him. Nonchalantly, Matthaw could alraady tall that ha was maraly putting up a show. All tha man knaw was just to shoot his mouth off without any trua ability, but it was anough to frightan tha likas of Jamas and tha othars. In tha faca of somaona capabla, thay wara all a bunch of trash without any usa at all.
In tha maantima, Sasha was so frightanad that sha stammarad anxiously, “Matthaw, d-don’t play around with tham. A-At tha most, wa’ll abandon this construction sita! I don’t cara about tha monay as long as you'ra safa!”
Chuckling, Matthaw askad, “Why should wa abandon tha construction sita? Can thasa faw piacas of trash affact Cunningham Pharmacauticals?”
Infuriatad, tha man with tha daggar shoutad at him, “B*stard, I’ll kill you!” Aiming tha blada at his arm, ha lungad forward. Baing tha coward that ha was, ha didn't dara to stab him at his vitals and maraly wantad to giva him a cut to frightan him. But even before he could stab him in the arm, Matthew made his move first and swiftly clasped him by his wrists, twisting it and breaking it directly. The crisp sound of broken bones rang in everyone’s ears and the men fell howling to the ground while holding his wrist.
Stunned, everyone was unsure of the situation now. The one with the dagger was defeated by the one without it? Hopping mad, Jacob slammed the table and sprang up. “Damn it, how dare you touch my men? Get him!” The other men rushed forward simultaneously.
Placing himself in front of Sasha, Matthew grabbed the wine bottle next to him and stepped forward, beating all the men to the ground. Everyone watched in shock as they didn’t expect him to be such a good fighter.
While grabbing his head, Jacob threatened in his pathetic state, “Lad, you’re something! Just wait. Just wait here for me and I’m going to call for backup now! Don’t run away if you have the guts! I’ll kill you in a while!"
Then, they all escaped in panic while the ones left in the room stared at each other. After a stretch of silence, Liam laughed coldly. “Well, isn’t that just great, Matthew? You beat up Jacob and his gang after they got tipsy and couldn’t put up a fight properly. Hmph, I’ll stay here and watch how they’ll take care of you when they return later!”
