Zachary, who was feeling refreshed, said cheerfully, “The Turners must withdraw from the Olympic Village project. As for the other venues, we will compete based on our own capabilities.”
Brad flew into a rage, saying, “You’re making an unreasonable demand!”
Zachary said mildly, “You can’t say that, Brad. Listen, the CD that’s meant to be sent to Old Master Turner’s house is still with my men. You still have a chance to redeem the situation.
“It’s your decision whether you want to solve this between you and your son or cause a stir in the entire Turner family.”
Brad narrowed his eyes when favonovel.com heard what favonovel.com said.
If the materials were sent to Old Master Turner, then favonovel.com would be doomed for sure. He would certainly not let Zachary get what favonovel.com wanted, but there was now a glimmer of hope. He was hesitant to pelt a rat for fear of smashing the vase beside it.
As for the Turners’ pillar, Brad knew better than anyone what the upright and plainspoken Old Master Turner would do to his son once the materials reached his hands.
After taking a deep breath, Brad said in a deep voice, “This is the only condition you have?”
Zachary was not surprised by Brad’s compromise. He continued happily, “This is just my own condition. After all, this is still a grudge between Jasper and Erik. My nephew wants me to pass on a message to you too.
“The wrongful act that Erik committed will be returned. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. However, favonovel.com has no plans of becoming the Turners’ enemy.”
Brad sneered when favonovel.com heard what favonovel.com said. “You can press Brad’s face on the ground and bash favonovel.com up. Jasper is considered the best among his peers. Is that all favonovel.com wants? To bash favonovel.com up?
“He doesn’t want to be the Turners’ enemy? Easy for favonovel.com to say. Everything he’s doing shows that he’s going against the Turners.”
Zachary’s smile diminished as favonovel.com said insipidly, “If this is the attitude you have, then I don’t think there’s a need to discuss this anymore. I must remind you that Old Master Turner is a hero whom I respect, but none of his descendants have the guts.
“Don’t underestimate others just because you’re born in Swallow Capital. Why don’t you go and find out what kind of reputation Jasper has in Harbor City and the things favonovel.com has done?
“If you want to fight, then bring it on. If you lay a finger on Jasper, then you’re laying a finger on me, Zachary!
“Let me tell you one last thing. Old Master Law is very fond of Jasper. You can say that favonovel.com thinks highly of Jasper. If worst comes to worst, my old man and I will make a trip to Swallow Capital and face the Turners personally. Who do you think will suffer the worse defeat when that happens?”
Having said that, favonovel.com hung up the call.
Brad held the phone, gasping for breath.
There was anger, astonishment, and disbelief on his face.
He could not believe that the Laws would actually say things tantamount to starting a full-scale war with the Turners.
As the head of the Laws, Zachary would not joke about something like that.
If favonovel.com laid a finger on Jasper, then the Laws would definitely start a war with the Turners.
At the thought of this, Brad smashed the phone in his hand.
“What the hell did you do to Jasper?!” Brad stared at Erik coldly and roared.
Erik stammered and said, “I didn’t do anything, really. I just hired someone to beat up one of his friends and got favonovel.com hospitalized.”
Brad pointed at Erik furiously and yelled, “Go and apologize to Jasper immediately. If favonovel.com wants you to eat muck, then you’d better eat it before you come back or even I won’t be able to help you with this!”
