Life at the Top

Chapter 292

His sudden roar that came without a warning sign shocked everyone in the room. Everyone turned around to look at them bewilderedly. Then, they looked at George who was holding his face with pain and grievance with pity in their eyes. They shook their heads at the same time.

Mr. Combe was hot-tempered and arrogant. This was not the first time he hit someone without any warning signs.

“You said you’re working for me and those people named Jasper and Jim hit you. It means they’re indirectly slapping me across the face! And you just came back after getting f*cking beaten up? How do you even have the guts to come back?”

Hector grabbed George’s collar with sinister eyes.

“Don’t you know how to get a few people to kill him?”

George trembled as he looked into Hector’s icy gaze. He said with a shaky voice, “Mr. Combe, I-I was wrong.”

“You good-for-nothing!”

Hector pushed George away, and his eyes were twinkling with an icy glint.

“Jasper Laine? I’ve never heard about this rat before and he dares to fight over this with me? How ballsy.”

After he said that, Hector took out his phone to make a call with a gloomy look on his face.

After a while, the call went through.

“Mr. Combe, is there anything I can help you with?” Jim’s neither obsequious nor supercilious voice sounded from the other end.

Hector smiled sinisterly and said coldly, “I don’t care who you or that son of a b*tch Jasper are, but if you want to fight against me in Swallow Capital, you need to know your place!

“Today, I’m having dinner with Easy Media. Don’t you guys want to buy Easy Media as well? Alright, don’t say that I’m not giving that son of a b*tch a chance. Ask him to show up if he has the guts!

“In Swallow Capital, nobody dares to fight me for what I want. Tell that son of a b*tch what I said. If he has the balls to show up tonight, I’ll respect him for being an honorable man before I kill him. If he doesn’t have the guts to do so, then I’ll kill him directly!” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

On the other end of the phone, Jim had a complicated look on his face after he hung up.

How would he not know that this was a banquet set up to attack a guest?

However, this was the chance for them to meet the King brothers. He had to tell Jasper no matter if he was going or not.

As such, he immediately called Jasper and told him about Mr. Combe’s phone call.

“Jasper, this is a trap.”

While listening to Jim talking on the phone, Jasper stood in his hotel room while facing the bustling night view of Swallow Capital. His face looked as calm as water.

“I’ll go!”

Jasper only said these two words.

Jim’s words were all stuck in his throat after Jasper’s two words. He could not speak after a very long time.

“Jasper, have you thought about this? This is a dinner with a dangerous agenda, not an ordinary dinner. It’s obvious that Hector wants to do something bad to you tonight. I’m afraid it’s going to be troublesome… Don’t be impulsive because you’re being blinded by anger.” Jim was still trying to talk him out of this.

Jasper said flatly, “Uncle Yapp, I’m not going because of my so-called dignity, but if we don’t go tonight because of this, the King brothers might think we’ve given up. Hector would then be able to get Easy Media without lifting a finger.”

Jim heard that and sighed. He said, “Jasper, to be honest, I suggest that you look for another company. You won’t be able to buy Easy Media so easily. Hector is… not that easily defeated.”

Jasper chuckled and said, “Uncle Yapp, give me the address. I’ll go alone.”

Jim said angrily after he heard that, “What are you talking about? Do you think I’m afraid of death?”

“Uncle Yapp, this is my business. I don’t need to involve you in this for no good reason,” Jasper said.

Jim said in a deep voice, “Enough. I’ve already been involved right from the start. How will I be able to face other people if I run away the moment we’re faced with danger? Wait for me at the hotel. I’ll drive over and pick you up.”

After Jim said that, he hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Jasper got into Jim’s Audi.

After getting into this high-end Audi, Jasper laughed and said, “Uncle Yapp, I guess you made quite a lot of money these few years.”

“Are you mocking me?” Jim glared unhappily at Jasper and said, “Compared to you and Dawson, what my consultant agency makes is just pocket money to you two.”
