Chapter 122 Are You Trying To Kill Me
The men he was waiting for had finally arrived.
The four burly men were standing behind Felix when Xavier met him earlier.
“Do you think you can get away just by saying sorry? At the very least, you must have a drink with me as compensation for knocking into me.” The burly man smiled insidiously.
“In that case, let’s have a toast.”
Hilda wasn’t afraid of a drink. In fact, she had a bottomless capacity for alcohol.
After pouring two glasses of wine, she offered one of them to the burly man.
While doing so, the man touched Hilda’s hand on purpose, causing her to yelp and drop the glass. Consequently, the wine was spilled all over him.
“Da*n it! How dare you splatter wine over me?”
In a fit of rage, the man raised his hand in an attempt to strike her.
Jared got up and pulled Hilda behind him. With a cold glint in his eye, he said, “I offer my apologies on her behalf.”
When the man snuck a glance at Xavier, Xavier gave him a knowing look in return. He quickly understood that Jared was Xavier’s target.
“Who do you think you are to apologize on her behalf?”
The burly man grabbed Jared by the collar and prepared to drag him out of the private room.
Since they had found who they were looking for, they wanted to drag him out to a secluded place and take him out. After all, killing him in public was not an option.
However, Jared grabbed the burly man’s hand and made a slight but forceful twist, causing the man to loosen his grip in pain.
“I hate it when people grab my collar. Take this as a warning,” Jared plainly remarked.
The man was infuriated when he saw his reddened wrist.
Although Xavier was surprised to hear Jared’s brazen words, he thought that it would only accelerate the time of his doom.
