Life at the Top

Chapter 286

George glared at Jasper ferociously and said, “Before you came out, didn’t your parents tell you to be more low profile outside so that you don’t offend other people?”

Jasper answered unenthusiastically, “The elders in my home did tell me to be humble and low profile outside. Plus, they also told me not to hold others in contempt so rashly.”

When George heard this, he thought Jasper was scared and lacking in confidence. Just as he was about to say something after smirking, he heard Jasper continue talking.

“But they only told me that I should be courteous to humans. If a dog keeps barking madly at me, I can just kick it away.”

George’s words that were on the tip of his tongue were then stuffed back into his throat forcefully. In an instant, his face looked extremely dark.

Even Jim was stumped for words. Then, he guffawed and felt extremely carefree.

George was his rival, and even their companies were in the same building.

There were a lot of enemies in the same industry, but one could know how horrible their relationship was just from the looks of it.

Jim had contacted Easy Media and this man in front of them named George was coming between them right now while using Mr. Combe to separate them.

He was just using Mr. Combe’s power and influence to mock and ridicule Jim for the past few days.

Today, Jim did not expect he would be able to vent his anger through Jasper.

Jim’s laughter caused George’s face to become even darker. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes that were glaring at Jasper.

“You little idiot, aren’t you afraid that people will step on you for being so cocky in Swallow Capital?”

Jasper looked coldly at George and said flatly, “Kindness is always returned tenfold, but if you dare to cross me, you’ll get a tenfold return as well.”

“How cocky! You’re so young yet you’re already such a gigantic poser.

“You should know that Swallow Capital is not as simple as you think it is. There are people you can’t afford to offend. If you get stepped on, you can only lie on the ground and beg for mercy.” George smirked, and his eyes were cold.

“Of course, there are a lot of people who’ll step on me in Swallow Capital, but I can guarantee that you’re not on the list. You’re just a hired thug who barely wormed into their circle.”

Jasper shrugged, and there was an insipid look on his face. He was not even concerned about George at all.

This kind of person was just a hired thug. His next meal depended on his boss’ mood. No one could insult Jasper even if he was in Swallow Capital.

Plus, he could not mess up the purchase of Easy Media because of someone like George.

Naturally, Jasper would not show him respect.

“W-Who are you calling a hired thug?”

George felt a fire of rage surging from his stomach and it was heading straight to his head.

He had been mingling in Swallow Capital for so many years, and aside from those members of the aristocratic families who came from the Residence, he had never seen such an arrogant person before. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Plus, he had asked around about the buyer who contacted Jim and knew he was not from Swallow Capital.

In addition to that, he was definitely not someone from the Residence.

As such, George had no comebacks after Jasper kept calling him out. He felt as if he had been slapped a few times across the face and was in fiery pain.

“You little idiot, I’ll teach you that you can’t be too arrogant in Swallow Capital!”

After a cold chuckle from George, he turned around and yelled at the outside of the building.

After a while, the door of a van outside opened and five to six burly men walked out. They all made their way over.

“Little idiot, it just so happened that I went out to settle some business and brought my men out for a meal. It’s your unlucky day,” George laughed nastily and said savagely.

When Jim saw this, he frowned and barked at George. “Hey, Powell! What are you trying to do? There are security cameras in the building and you’re trying to attack us here? Are you insane?”

After a scoff, George said coldly, “Shut up! You best f*ck off. Let me tell you, Mr. Combe has got my back and if you spew more bullsh*t then I’ll f*ck you up too!”

Jim’s expression was gloomy. He said to Jasper in a deep voice, “Jasper, run back into the building. Run to my office and lock the door. Don’t open the door if it’s not me.

“I’ll handle them. I’ve been in Swallow Capital for so many years. He won’t dare to do anything to me.”

When Jasper saw that Jim was still helping him so sincerely at this critical moment, he felt slightly touched. He said, “Uncle Yapp, don’t worry. They won’t do anything to me.”
