Chapter 921-930

Life at the Top Chapter 921Coupled with the traces of the blood Conrad spat out earlier, Zane looked even more embarrassing now.“What the fck?! Does this look like a place for you to talk, you stupid fcker? Do you think you’re some sh*t?” Henry glared at Zane sinisterly and spoke.He had held back for a very long time and there was no way he would back down from a chance to show off.Striding over, Henry grabbed Zane by the collar and snickered. “I’ve never met stupid f*ckers with memories as bad as yours. How are there people in this world who only remember having fun but not the times they got beat up, hmm?”Zane’s cheek burned, either from the roast chicken or the slap Henry gave him. He looked at Henry with terror and forced his anger aside to speak, “Have you gone mad, Henry?!”“I’m mad?” Henry laughed aloud. “You’ll be the first one I kill if I go mad.”“Henry, stop,” Jasper called out softly. He wanted to get rid of Zane and Mitch, but it definitely would not be through violence.Otherwise, he would have asked Julian to deal with them instead.However, while Mitch and Zane were indeed small fries, the true trouble was the people supporting them.“Violence will solve many problems, but those that violence cannot solve are the actual big messes.”Jasper then pulled out his phone to call Jake after he finished speaking.The call connected in no time.“Mr. Laine.” Jake’s polite voice sounded from the other end.“How’s progress on the matter I asked you to look into?” Jasper asked.Jake chuckled evilly and replied, “It was really easy. As long as you’re willing to pay, there’s nothing you can’t do in Harbor City. This person Zane has quite a few issues. I found out from his driver that Zane actually has syphilis.“And the woman who gave Zane syphilis apparently used to be Bob’s lover for a while. This is huge news and not many people know about it, but I’m certain it’s true. According to your requests, I’ve already leaked the news to the entertainment and gossip media outlets.”Jasper raised his eyebrows.He had only planned to expose some of Zane’s dirty secrets to Harbor City but he did not expect to dig out such a huge scandal.Things were getting interesting.Jasper looked at Zane pitifully.This imbecile had just gotten into a lot of trouble.The gossip reporters would not let him live this down, and it was likely that his father Bob would not let such a disobedient child run free either.Jasper’s brows furrowed when he looked over only to see that Henry was still grabbing Zane’s collar tightly and blood from Zane’s bleeding nose was about to get on Henry’s hand. He quickly spoke, “Henry, let him go.”Henry was stunned and turned his head to ask why. “I’ve been wanting to beat this stupid f*cker for a long time already! I only got to slap him once.”Henry evidently did not want to let go of this punching bag.However, the next thing Jasper said had Henry immediately letting go as if he had been electrocuted.“He has syphilis.”“Holy f*ck! Why didn’t you say that earlier?”Henry immediately jumped a few meters back as expletives continued to come out of his mouth.Life at the Top Chapter 922Henry was not the only one shocked as Jasper’s words had Mitch’s expression changing drastically!To get rid of Jasper, the two of them had been in close contact recently. Mitch only knew that syphilis could be transmitted but he did not know in what ways!Even if he knew that his relationship with Zane was not intimate enough for syphilis to be transmitted, the fact that Zane, whom he had spent every day side by side with, had syphilis made Mitch want to barf and vomit.Zane, the person in question, went completely pale.It was ingrained fear and shock that seeped from his bones.Not even Conrad’s blood and his own nosebleed over his face could cover up his pale complexion.He looked at Jasper with pure fear, his eyes swirling with craze and disbelief as he roared, “Bullsht! What are you talking about? Who the fck has syphilis? I’ll kill you!”Zane resembled a little child who had been exposed for taking a dump in his pants. He defended himself and threatened Jasper maddeningly in an attempt to hide the fact that Jasper was speaking the truth.He did indeed have syphilis and it was not a glory story. If anything, the news of it should never see the light of day.“Oh? So it’s fake news?”Jasper’s tone was light.“So the fact that you slept with your dad’s ex-girlfriend is fake too?”Jasper directly pressed the loudspeaker button on his phone as he spoke. He did not look at Zane who was trembling, nor Henry who was excited for gossip, or even Mitch who had an inexplicable weird expression on his face.“Repeat the news you told me,” Jasper requested calmly.Jake’s voice quickly echoed through the speakers.“Zane does indeed have syphilis. To confirm the news, we went to his private doctor and found his entire medical record that included his diagnosis and treatment.“We also found out from his private doctor that a woman called Tina Gross had also joined him for syphilis treatment.“This Tina is an Auman and she dated Bob half a year ago. The press found out about it, but Bob ended up dumping her three months later.“Tina continued to stay in Harbor City after that, living in a high-end neighborhood under Zane’s name. A few paparazzi took pictures of Zane and Tina kissing by the window before, but Zane paid them off in secret.“We managed to get a few films of those pictures, though.”Jasper spoke calmly after Jake was done, “Alright. Thanks for the trouble.”“It’s no trouble. It’s part of my job, after all. News should be all over the press tonight, I think,” Jake replied calmly.From the call, Jake could hear that Zane knew he was the one on the other end. Not that Jake cared, though.As far as Jake was concerned, offending Zane was no issue as long as he had Jasper to protect him.Even idiots knew who to choose between Jasper and Zane.Ending the call, Jasper turned to Zane who was not looking well and spoke calmly, “You heard him. I’m pretty sure the Harborers will have a nice show to watch tonight. Wonderful, I’m sure it’ll be able to entertain the bored Harborers.”“That’s f*cking cool, man!” Henry slapped Zane’s shoulder and spoke with a shocked expression on his face, “Holy hell, I didn’t know you had it in you to do something like this. What’s this even considered, incest?”Life at the Top Chapter 923“Oh, but then again, this was just his ex-girlfriend and not your actual stepmother. Though I’d like to know, did you ask that woman if you or your father was better in bed? Hahaha.”Henry slapped his thigh as he chortled. The louder he laughed, the more unpleasant Zane’s expression became.Then, he suddenly pounced on Jasper, taking everyone back with this unexpected reaction.Jasper’s brow arched. Without Julian here, he could only take a step back and find a weapon he could use as quickly as possible.Henry made a weird sound. Terrified that Zane would do something to Jasper, he grabbed a ceramic plate and shattered it against the table, ready to hurt Zane before Zane could hurt Jasper.Even Mitch’s brows twitched. Following that, a beautiful shine flared in his eyes as he looked at Zane who was pouncing on Jasper.Everything would be great if Zane went mad and got rid of Jasper right now.Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreenZane would be doomed, but Mitch would walk out of this unscathed. Not to mention that Mitch would also have a huge problem like Jasper resolved for good.In an instant, Zane, whom he had looked down on all this while, suddenly became a grand figure in his eyes. Mitch even felt the urge to cheer Zane on.This was how a lackey was supposed to act.Yet… something no one expected happened.Zane had indeed pounced.Although, it was not to hurt Jasper.Instead, the man fell to his knees with a thud in front of Jasper.He reached out to grab Jasper’s thigh, beginning to sob and wail. “I’m sorry, Mr. Jasper. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have offended you and I shouldn’t have caused you trouble. It’s all my fault. I’m f*cking stupid! I’m the blind fool who doesn’t know better.”Zane then lifted his hand to slap himself harshly.The slaps were strong, for it immediately caused blood to seep out the corner of Zane’s mouth and his cheek was already swollen red.“But please, Mr. Jasper, please have mercy! Don’t leak the news out, my dad will actually beat me to death if he finds out!“Please, save me this once, please! I won’t offend you again!”Henry gulped with a weird look in his eyes when he took in the sight of Zane wailing and begging for mercy.These young masters from Harbor City were all arrogant people. People like Zane only picked on Jasper for one reason.Jasper did not come from a formidable family, so they looked down on him. People like Zane trample over people like Jasper to prove how sophisticated they were.Among the circle of trust fund babies, their reputation and image mattered the most whenever they quarreled among themselves. They would admit defeat, but no one had truly begged another for mercy before.While Zane’s background was no match to the young masters of the four richest families, Zane was technically still a trust fund baby who had never kneeled and begged for mercy even when Henry gave him the worst beating.After all, everyone was from a wealthy family where reputation and dignity came first. Lives would not be taken anyway, so no one would beg for mercy at the risk of being mocked by other trust fund babies.Yet, the reality was right before Henry’s eyes.Zane, a vile, shameless, disgusting, and abominable man who was known for being stubborn had been reduced to kneeling and begging in front of Jasper! He was a mess now!Life at the Top Chapter 924A similar flurry of emotions was brewing within Mitch as well.He looked at Zane in disbelief. He and Zane had the same enemy—Jasper. As such, Mitch was well aware of how much Zane hated the other.It would not be inaccurate to say that Zane wanted to cook Jasper alive.Yet here the man was, kneeling in front of Jasper. After watching with his own eyes how Conrad had spat out blood and fainted after getting enraged by Jasper, this was the second time Mitch felt utterly terrified.The terror cut even deeper this time than it did with Conrad.After all, he and Zane were, to some degree, the same kind of people.The only difference was that his status was above Zane’s. As for their identities, both of them were from wealthy families and belonged to Harbor City’s circle of trust fund babies.As such, there was not much difference between him and Zane.‘If Zane can be reduced to kneeling before Jasper while begging for mercy, who’s to say that the same fate won’t befall me someday?’At that train of thought, Mitch felt a deep sense of fear engulf his heart.He looked at Jasper in both fear and curiosity as he wondered if he had any similar weaknesses—the kind that he would do everything to ensure Jasper never found out.At that, Mitch realized he was doomed.It occurred to him that he was filled with weaknesses to exploit. He had done too many bad things in the past.He would be fine if he were facing anyone else, but it was a different story when Jasper was involved as the man was unpredictable. If Jasper ended up shining light on those things, just his family finding out about it would be enough to screw him over. His dad Kennedy would be the first to beat him to death.At that moment, Mitch understood why Zane was willing to get on his knees for Jasper.The nature of the situation was too horrendous and severe.“Hehe, Bob and Zane, this father and son duo sure are exquisite. Like father, like son. To them, bedding women is just like taking public buses; they get in like it’s nothing. They don’t even care if reporters write about this.“Bob even told my dad proudly once that all men are the same, he just doesn’t like hiding it. That there’s nothing weird about a man sleeping with multiple women.”With glee, Henry looked at Zane who was still kneeling in front of Jasper.“I wonder what your old man is going to think when he finds out that you followed him into the same public bus?”Already terrified, Zane paled further with Henry’s words.“Please don’t expose the news, Jasper! Or I’ll really get beaten to death by my dad! Please, I’m begging you!” Zane wailed as he begged Jasper.To trust fund babies like them, the only thing they feared was their own elders.After all, they were well aware that their power and wealth, as well as respect and fear that other people showed for them, all came from their elders.It was because they were born into a good family!Zane knew his father, and while that man did not care much about many things, being his son would not save him from punishment when it came to things that Bob cared about.If the news got out, then the situation would surely become something Bob cared about.Jasper remained unfazed despite how long Zane had been begging him. This time, Zayne turned around and pounced on Henry instead, startling him.“Mr. Henry, please! Please help me convince him! This really can’t be leaked out!”“Mr. Henry, please! I’m sorry, I’m really sorry! I’ll never argue with you again! Whatever you say goes. I’ll never create trouble for you anymore.“I’m sorry, Mr. Henry! Please help me!”Life at the Top Chapter 925Seeing how Zane was pleading for mercy wretchedly, Henry twitched his mouth and glanced at Jasper. Eventually, he said, “Crawl farther away. Do you think I don’t know the type of person you are?“You said the same thing when I stripped you bare and hung you up on a tree when we were 13. What happened then? You immediately found a gang of men to stand in my way in school. Had I not run fast enough, I would’ve been beaten up by you at the time.“Two years ago, you f*cking smacked Kayden’s girlfriend’s butt. Do you remember how you pleaded with Kayden? It was way worse than this.“What happened next was that you found gangsters to assault that woman in turns and even pretended as though you had nothing to do with them. You think no one was aware of this?”Henry, who was slightly moved with compassion earlier, grew angrier as he spoke. He turned around and said to Jasper, “End this idiot. This b*stard is extremely ungrateful. If you don’t end him this time, he’ll come and bite us back in the *ss later.”Jasper nodded in agreement.He was not a fan of being merciful to his enemies. When this incident passed, Zane’s pity at the moment would be quickly replaced with viciousness.Besides, there were simply too many incidents to prove that a person like Zane would never be grateful.How many idiots had been killed by their idiotic kindness in historical films and novels?Clearly, they had all the chance in the world to kill the villain, or at least cripple them, but the main character would insist on sparing them in hopes that they would turn over a new leaf.What happened next? The main character’s wife and mother would be assaulted by the villain, and his father and brothers would get slashed to death.Idiotic storylines like that would never happen to Jasper.Jasper had lived a lowly and humble life in his past life. He knew the ways of the world and the human heart clearer than anyone.“Stop begging. Save some of your saliva to explain it to your father,” Jasper said indifferently.As soon as Jasper said those words, Zane immediately stopped begging.He looked up at Jasper and climbed to his feet slowly, looking maniacal and full of bitter resentment. He squeezed a sentence between clenched teeth, “Are you trying to kill me, Jasper Laine?”Jasper said calmly, “I never wanted you dead, but since you’re so passionate about giving me trouble, I’ll have to do something to return the favor, don’t I?“Otherwise, if you keep turning up at my door and I keep solving the problem without getting rid of you, the root of the problem still exists.“It happens to be such a coincidence that I’m a person who hates trouble and likes to solve something all at once.”“Stop your motherf*cking bullcrap!” Zane roared suddenly. “Fine, don’t blame me for your own decisions!”Having said that, Zane snatched the ceramic plate from Henry’s hand.Henry had smashed the plate on the table earlier so what was left of it had extremely sharp edges. Zane put on a maniacal and thrilled expression as he waved the ceramic plate and slashed it at Jasper’s neck.Everyone was caught unprepared by his move.Zane had pounced on Jasper just a moment ago, seemingly trying to harm him only for them to realize that Zane simply wanted to plead for mercy. As such, no one expected Zane to attack so suddenly when his pleas failed.Like a pot of boiling water, the entire place was in chaos.Jasper’s defensive stance and Zane’s violent wave of his arm had formed a tremendously confusing scene.Amid the waving of limbs, a hint of blood shot out.Someone was hurt!Mitch, who had retreated to a corner a long time ago, felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He had goosebumps all over his body as he gawked at the scene, trying to figure out if it was Jasper’s blood!Life at the Top Chapter 926Regardless of whether the trace of blood belonged to Jasper or Zane, things had gotten way out of control.The nature of the situation had changed completely.If the blood belonged to Zane, then Jasper had only done it out of self-defense.If the blood belonged to Jasper, then Zane would be charged with intentional homicide. Even a slight injury would be considered deliberate harm.No matter whose blood it was, the nature of this whole incident had been raised to a whole new level. This was no longer just an ordinary dispute. This was an intentional crime!In the room, the sound of physical combat between men, cries of unknown men, clanging of tables and chairs, and crashing of tableware clearly traveled outside of the private room.Julian, whose nerves were already taut to begin with in preparation to handle any situations, felt a ringing in his head. Without any hesitation, he roared angrily and broke his way in like a dragon that had gone berserk and rushed into the room.He looked up and found Jasper at a glance. He looked at him up and down. Julian breathed a sigh of relief at what he saw. Thankfully, Jasper was fine.Jasper stood on one side, and although his clothes were disheveled, his expression was stern with no obvious trauma on his body.Henry stood next to him holding his arm, glaring furiously at Zane.Zane was still holding a blood-stained porcelain plate, standing in front of Jasper and Henry as he breathed heavily. He resembled an irritable and mad bull.When Zane snatched the plate earlier, Henry was able to react in time. Even so, Zane still caught him unprepared and managed to snatch the plate from his hand.Henry had no time to think at all as he let out a roar and rushed up to Zane.As soon as he rushed up, he saw Zane waving and slashing at Jasper using the plate that was as sharp as a knife like a madman.In crucial moments like that, Henry had no time to think and pushed Jasper away. Jasper was unharmed, but there was a wound dripping with blood on his arm.The wound was extremely deep, but thankfully, it did not cut any veins. Besides, arms were not fatal points, so even though he was bleeding profusely and was in tremendous pain, Henry knew he was okay.“Are you okay?”Jasper rushed over, pulled Henry’s arm toward him, and asked with concern.He looked at the ghastly and horrendous-looking gash on Henry’s arm. From the slit in his clothes, it could be seen that his skin and flesh had been torn apart. His arm was badly mangled.Jasper flew into a towering rage at once.He had countless underlings and friends, not but many faithful friends.John Jackson, Julian, and definitely Henry.There were only three of them.From the time he began by carefully interacting with the top-notch prodigal son to getting to know each other, Jasper knew that Henry was not naturally evil. He was different in nature compared to someone like Mitch.Up until now, even though Jasper often teased Henry and enjoyed looking at his embarrassed expression, he was only doing so because this brat was too egotistical and unbridled. His attitude needed fixing.However, that did not mean that Jasper did not care about Henry’s life.Jasper had lived two lifetimes and came across all kinds of people, hence he particularly treasured friendships that he had acknowledged.To be honest, not that he was trying to look cool or anything, Jasper would rather have his arm slashed instead.“I’m okay.” Henry grinned. He felt a gush of warmth in his heart when he saw the genuine expression on Jasper’s face.As a prodigal son, he had plenty of underlings—even more than flies—but never a true friend.Those guys were either in awe and reverent in front of him yet calling him a spoiled child behind his back, or they were hypocrites who were only with him for the benefits.Life at the Top Chapter 927How could someone like him have any genuine friends?Henry had none.However, things changed when Jasper appeared.He knew that Jasper truly cared about him and their friendship had nothing to do with the fact that he was a Law. At most… it was a tad bit related to his gorgeous sister.Had it not been for their true friendship, would a prodigal son who was naturally selfish take a slash for Jasper? Usually, others would take a slash for him instead.“It’s just a gash. It looks scary but it’s just a superficial wound.”Henry said between clenched teeth.“Julian!”Jasper turned around and called out to Julian.“I want you to rip Zane’s arms apart!”After receiving Jasper’s orders, Julian turned around and looked coldly at Zane before immediately springing into action.Zane had no chance to even struggle in front of Julian.He held Zane down as though he was pinching an earthworm. He could not even budge. Julian did not even need to make any exaggerated moves and Zane was already heard shrieking before his arms hung limply by his sides.Zane was overcome by the intense pain that he slumped to the ground and passed out.“Hey, hey, don’t kill him. Darn it, I haven’t taken my revenge yet,” Henry yelled.“He won’t end well. You should probably treat your wound first. Even if it isn’t serious, you’re going to bleed yourself to death if you don’t do anything about it,” Jasper said.Henry took a deep breath and sat on the chair, saying with a grin, “Ask Julian to bind up my wound. You can proceed.”Jasper darted a glance at Julian who walked over to study Henry’s wound before saying to Jasper, “It’s just a superficial wound. I can bind it up. Once the bleeding stops, we just need to disinfect it. That’s all.”“I’ll leave it to you, then,” Jasper said.He turned around and looked at Mitch.The latter shuddered under Jasper’s gaze.When the feeling of excitement earlier had worn off, Mitch was suddenly filled with regret.He regretted provoking Jasper.Now that Conrad had been taken away after passing out and Zane had fainted after being driven mad, he was the only one left. Mitch could not help but sympathize with the situation they were in.It was as if they were in a pigsty and he was watching as his friends were taken away one after another, all while feeling a sense of fear that it would soon be his turn.Mitch was considered a hoodlum as well. Before Jasper could say anything, he took the initiative to say, “Jasper, now that things have gotten out of hand, why don’t we make peace and I’ll compensate you?”“You only have one chance. If your compensation does not convince me, then it’ll be the end for you,” Jasper said indifferently.Jasper’s attitude made Mitch grit his teeth inwardly. The peasant he had always looked down on was actually behaving in a domineering manner. However, in the face of unfavorable conditions, Mitch had no choice but to stomach this insult.Where there was life, there was hope.Mitch’s eyes rolled in their sockets and while gritting his teeth, he went all out, saying, “Fabian Atticus has been searching for ways to deal with you. Although I have no idea about his specific plans, I do know that he has been in contact with several domestic internet companies recently. I think he’s planning to attack Terizone.“Is this news enough compensation?”Life at the Top Chapter 928Jasper narrowed his eyes.His and Fabian’s enmity had begun in an extremely nonsensical manner.They became enemies without having met each other.This was directly related to Jonathan from Coreana.Though no matter what, he should not let his guard down since they were now enemies.From the way Fabian had caused Kayden to suffer tremendous losses, it was clear that he had a much higher status than someone like Mitch.Jasper had not let his guard down and had been guarding against Fabian in preparation for his next attack.PlayvolumeAd2 However, Jasper had too little information in hand. He simply had no idea what Fabian would do.Right now, Mitch had delivered the news to his doorstep.Jasper did not question the authenticity of the news because Mitch had no reason to make up fake news like this to deceive him. Besides, it would be too easy to expose this lie.When Mitch saw how quiet Jasper was, he gritted his teeth and continued.“Although we’re not friends, Jasper, I’m not afraid to tell you that I’m more willing to deal with you than someone like Fabian. He’s a jackal that wouldn’t hesitate to devour himself when he becomes vicious, let alone someone like me…“He came to me but I refused to act against my own interests. Henry isn’t entirely clueless about Fabian’s reputation. You’ll know if you ask around. There are many people in Harbor City who want him dead but no one is brave enough to offend him.“He’s too powerful and no one is confident enough to take him down with a single attack. Besides, if you can’t end him in a single try, then you’ll only find yourself in endless trouble.“Although I have no idea how you provoked him, this has nothing to do with me. I’m only telling you this news in hopes that you’ll let this matter drop. I’ll have nothing to do with what happens to Zane and Conrad after this. I won’t interfere at all.”Jasper narrowed his eyes at Mitch, seemingly thinking of ways to deal with him.Mitch gritted his teeth. He disliked the feeling of helplessness from being put to trial, especially when Jasper was the judge.However, Mitch had no other choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.At this moment, Henry walked over after Julian was done binding up his wound.“Leave it to me?” Henry said to Jasper.Jasper lifted his eyebrows and nodded when he noticed that Henry was serious about it.Since Henry insisted on doing it himself, Jasper would show due respect for his feelings and let him deal with the situation no matter what. Even if Henry released Mitch, Jasper would not interfere either.Honestly, a prodigal son like Henry might not be as shrewd and guileful in public, but he was great at playing dirty.Henry was seen taking out his phone, switching to the camera application. He pointed the phone’s camera lens at Mitch. After fixing the angle, he chuckled and said, “That’s enough. I want you to repeat what you just said.“Fck, Julian, hold this for me. My arm hurts so bad. This darn Zane. Motherfcker, I’ll kill him this time!”A smile hung at the corners of Julian’s mouth at the sight of Henry’s behavior. He walked over and held the phone, pointing it at Mitch.Although the camera function of mobile phones was still terrible in this age and its visual impact was poor, it was not difficult to make out a person’s face.As soon as the lens was pointed at Mitch, he immediately lost it.“What’s the meaning of this? Don’t you believe me?!” Mitch roared furiously.How could he possibly dare to allow Henry to take videos of him like that? If he took videos and showed them to Fabian, then he would be dead for sure.Although his father was Kennedy Langdon and his family was one of the four richest families, Mitch feared Fabian from the bottom of his heart.“Stop all the f*cking crap. Are you filming or not? If you don’t want to, then we’ll do what we need to do. If you do it, then we can all get lost once we’re done. This is only for insurance. If you don’t play any dirty tricks, then this video will remain on my phone forever.“However, if you play dirty, then I guarantee that Fabian will see your big face on the screen as you talk bad about him.”Having said that, Henry chuckled. “Fabian is not a person who’s easy to deal with. When the time comes, you’ll be the first to be fixed by him, so you’d better not play tricks on us.”Mitch’s eyebrows were twitching violently. He looked at Jasper only to see that he had no intention of speaking up.After struggling for a period of time, Mitch resigned to his fate.He knew that doing so would give Jasper something to use against him, but so what?If he did not do so, then he was certainly not going to live through today.He did not have a choice, especially since Conrad and Zane had ended in such horrendous states themselves.After taking a deep breath, Mitch looked into the phone’s camera lens and repeated what he said earlier.Once the video had been filmed, Henry admired his work and waved to Mitch without even looking up. “Get lost. I want you to go back to Harbor City without looking back. Don’t let me see you in Nauritus City ever again.”Mitch was agitated by Henry’s way of driving him away like he was chasing flies. Even so, he did not have a choice and could only leave while gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.He did not even glance at Zane who was lying on the ground.Noticing this tiny detail, Henry darted a sidelong glance at Mitch’s back and sneered.“Good job. You’ve helped me tremendously this time,” Jasper said to Henry with a smile when Mitch was gone.Henry grinned and said, “Mitch is not like Zane. His father is Kennedy Langdon. If he messes up, then it’ll spell trouble. We have something to use against him and this is more useful than beating him up.”“What about this guy?” Jasper asked, pointing at Zane lying on the ground.Henry chuckled. “You’re testing me?”“I guess so. If you pass, then I’ll give you a big gift after that,” Jasper said with a grin.“Really?!”Henry’s eyes lit up. “I’m not a fan of ordinary gifts.”“Do you think I’ll use ordinary gifts to trick you? Since I said it’s a big gift, then I assure you that you’ll be satisfied.”Henry’s pupils rolled in their sockets and he suddenly pulled out his phone to make a call. When the call was connected, he burst into tears in front of Jasper, wailing and choking with sobs. His voice carried a trace of fear and grievances.He looked like a kid who was running home to seek help from his father after he was bullied outside.“Dad, someone slashed me! I’m about to die!”Life at the Top Chapter 929Nauritus City Province General Hospital.From the superiors to the juniors, the dean to the nurses, everyone was standing reverently in front of the corridor with their heads lowered. They were staring at the provincial and municipal officers with admiration as they walked in a uniform line to No. 1 intensive care unit for a visit.The hospital employees gulped, exclaiming about how they had gained new knowledge and insight today.The one responsible for receiving these bigwigs was not the person in charge.It was the person in charge’s assistant.Despite that, these bigwigs were not unhappy about it at all and even expressed their concern. After leaving their gifts behind, they even ordered these bunch of hospital employees like they were lecturing them and giving them a task.They must ensure that the patient in the ward recovered as soon as possible at all costs!Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen Hearing the bigwigs saying the words ‘at all costs’ turned this whole affair so serious that it was unimaginable by common people.Unlike the hubbub outside the ward, everything was quiet inside.There were three people in total.Jasper and Zachary were sitting next to the bed while Henry was lying on the bed.There was a blood bag hanging on Henry’s arm. This brat was so bored that he started swaying the IV tube, and when he noticed Zachary’s sullen gaze, he immediately pretended to be weak and began crying out in pain.“Stop pretending. You’re not going to die!”Zachary roared sullenly.Even though Zachary said so, his eyes were filled with heartache and anger.This was, after all, his son. On top of that, he was also the Laws’ only son. Any parent would panic when their child’s arm was slashed. This had nothing to do with status and identity but the love of parents for their children.Of course, his son needed to suffer a little in order to toughen up, but which idiot was so bold to slash his, Zachary Law’s, son?! Did they not want their head anymore?“I’m a patient, Dad. My arm was just slashed. The doctor said that if it was just a tad deeper or if the angle was a little off, my arm would’ve been crippled forever,” Henry said, feeling extremely wronged.“Uncle Law, it’s my fault for being too careless,” Jasper said sincerely to Zachary.Jasper did feel a bit guilty. He was fully prepared but did not expect Zane to go berserk and go all out to fight him. Otherwise, Henry would not have blocked the attack for him either.“This isn’t your fault,” Zachary turned to Jasper and said with a much calmer tone.“This kid is finally a bit fearless and upright. If he had just stood there and watched, I’d be the first to teach him a lesson. A man should always do the right thing.”Upon hearing a rare compliment from his father, Henry was just about to grin smugly when he quickly recalled that he was now a patient. He continued to moan and grunt to make his presence known.At this moment, there was a knock on the door and it was followed by Julian walking into the ward.“Jasper, Mr. Zachary, Bob Lancaster is here.”Jasper glanced at Zachary and then exchanged glances with Henry while keeping silent in tacit agreement.Now that the matter had gotten so serious and they had done everything they could, it was time for Zachary and Bob, both bigwigs of similar status and identity, to grapple with each other.“Let him in,” Zachary said with a sullen expression.Julian glanced at Jasper, saw him nod, and turned around to go out.After Julian went out, Zachary said to Jasper, “This bunch of men is really annoying. I’ll use this opportunity today to help you get rid of one.”Jasper was stunned. Sure enough, none of these old cunning foxes were easy to fool. He had probably seen through Henry’s clumsy act a long time ago.Life at the Top Chapter 930He was about to speak when Bob, with a complicated look on his face, pushed the door in. Followed closely behind him was a bruised, battered, and weak Zane.“Zachary, I brought this brute here today to apologize to you,” Bob walked toward Zachary and said apologetically as soon as he entered the ward.“You sure have some guts to show up, don’t you?” Zachary stood up with a sneer.Before Zachary listened to Bob’s explanation, he raised his hand and slapped Bob across the face.Bob had just finished apologizing when he received a hard slap on the face.The slap froze the atmosphere immediately.Even Jasper was stunned.Playvolume00:00/00:44TruvidfullScreenHe had only seen young men in their 20s with short tempers getting into fistfights thus far. He never expected Mr. Zachary to be a grumpy middle-aged man too.Henry nearly jumped up from the hospital bed to cheer for his father.Indeed, people were used to seeing trust fund babies’ arrogant and domineering characters, yet they almost forgot that the fathers of these trust fund babies in the four richest families in Harbor City were also once outstanding trust fund babies and top-notch profligate sons of the rich.After taking over the family business, they may have gotten much calmer and steadier, no longer making decisions based on their emotions. Even so, they were still top-notch young masters from 20 years ago to their cores.Bob was dumbfounded by the slap.He never thought that a man like him who had such status and identity would get slapped in the face.He glared at Zachary, barely able to suppress the wave of anger that was ready to burst out.Men who had such status and identity like them paid attention to their image more than anything else. Their level of tolerance was so great that it was simply impossible for anyone to destroy them. Therefore, at the end of the day, image and reputation were really the only things they were striving for.Things had barely started yet Zachary was already ruining his image and trampling on his dignity.“What’s wrong? Unsatisfied?”Zachary asked in a sullen tone.“You’re probably thinking that I’ve broken the rules when I slapped you, right? That men of our age should not use our fists no matter what?”Bob suppressed his anger and said coldly, “Of course, I’m not bold enough to think that way!”Even though he said that he was not bold enough, Bob’s towering rage was evident.“Hehe, you’re not bold enough? Is there anything you’re not bold enough to do when your son is already bold enough to murder my son using a weapon?”Zachary lifted his arm and pointed at Bob’s nose, nearly pushing his head to the back.“Bob Lancaster, I, Zachary Law, will say this once only. Yes, my actions may have broken the rules, but it’s in line with the Law family’s rules!“Motherf*cker! If you’re that bold, why don’t you challenge the Laws this instant? I’ll let you go back to Harbor City now so both of our families can fight it out. My old man is still around. I’d like to see if you’re bold enough to show an attitude in front of the Laws!”When Zachary was done yelling, Zachary stared at Bob whose complexion started changing as he was unable to suppress his fear. Zachary sneered, “You and that group of brats must have noticed the Laws keeping a low profile these few years and thus grew bold, haven’t you?“Have you forgotten how Old Master Law did business in the Southeast Alexandria arms industry with a ring of grenades wrapped around his waist and several guns on his shoulders back then?“Old Master Law may be old but he’s not dead yet!“With Old Master Law around, with the both of us around, it’s not your turn to bully the Laws’ son yet!”Jasper turned to look at Henry who looked absolutely astonished and sighed.Little Henry Law still had a long way to go to become a true and promising hedonistic son of the rich.
