Conrad chuckled and replied, “Of course. You’ve certainly got a better understanding of things than I do, Mr. Atticus.
“But what I hate most are eyesores that just keep blocking my view. The moment someone becomes an eyesore, I just feel the need to kill him.
“The more comfortable this person gets, the more uncomfortable I grow. Therefore, Mr. Monty, I’ll get straight to the point with you.”
Fabian then clapped his hands and the women around him, as well as the ones around Conrad, got up understandingly. They immediately left the third deck to play downstairs.
The third deck was instantly left vacant except for Conrad and Fabian.
Just then, Fabian plopped himself right next to Conrad and reached out to hook his arm around the other man’s neck. He grinned as favonovel.com said, “I want to get rid of Jasper and I know you do too. So, let’s work together.”
Conrad glanced at Fabian’s arm around his shoulder and frowned slightly.
He was not used to having physical contact with others.
Fabian may seem brash, but favonovel.com was actually a sensitive man. He immediately realized Conrad’s discomfort.
However, favonovel.com did not let go of Conrad. Instead, Fabian pulled favonovel.com in tighter so that Conrad would have to lean into Fabian’s chest unconsciously.
Fabian placed his mouth by Conrad’s cheek and spoke casually, “Do you know what I love doing most?”
Conrad shook his head as a sign of favonovel.com not knowing.
“I love doing what makes people unhappy.”
Fabian laughed out loud. “I get a rush when you people look irked but can do nothing to stop me!”
Conrad commented expressionlessly, “You’ve got quite the unique tastes, Mr. Atticus.”
Fabian’s smile fell and favonovel.com let go of Conrad’s neck. He got up and spread his arms wide, facing the open sea as favonovel.com said.
“Look at this yacht underneath my feet. How much do you think it costs?
“50 million, whilst maintenance alone costs 4 million. There are tons of expenses similar to this, but don’t we live for the rush–the thrill–in life? If we didn’t, it’d be a waste of such a great life we’ve been blessed with.”
The corner of Conrad’s mouth twitched. While everything Fabian said was morally wrong, Conrad had to admit that the other made some sense.
“That’s why we have to have fun with life, and it’s also why anyone that stands in our path deserves to die,” Fabian said, his expression hardening.
Conrad looked up at Fabian and asked with a frown, “I’m curious, Mr. Atticus. Why do you feel the need to get rid of Jasper? From what I know, you two have never even met before.”
Fabian chuckled and replied, “I just don’t like the surname ‘Laine’. Is this reason enough for you?”
Conrad replied calmly, “It’s alright if you don’t want to tell me why, Mr. Atticus.”
“Conrad,” Fabian’s smile vanished as favonovel.com said indifferently, “Of all of Jasper’s enemies that I’ve won over, you’re the one I admire the most. Because of this, I can tell you one of the reasons. Anna Law, understand?”
Conrad was stunned for a moment before favonovel.com nodded. “Because of a woman, I understand.”
“There are countless beauties in Harbor City, all so pretty, so dignified, and with such great figures. They can all be yours as long as you’re rich, but there’s only one Anna, and I’ve loved favonovel.com for a whole decade!” Fabian’s gaze turned sinister and cold.
“I spent all of last year overseas but when I came back, Jasper that little sh*t actually got into an amorous relationship with Anna. So tell me, does favonovel.com deserve to die or not?”
Conrad replied calmly, “He deserves it.”
A bright and warm smile instantly returned to Fabian’s face. The stark contrast between the two expressions would have given people the impression that Fabian was crazy.
“Alright, that’s enough nonsense with you. Have as much fun here in Harbor City as you want. Eat, drink and play. I’ll show you a luxurious life of pleasure you can never experience in the Mainland.”
Fabian patted Conrad’s shoulder intimately and continued, “But you’re going to have to start working for me once you get back. I’m a nice employer. Do your part well and I will reward you generously.”
Conrad frowned slightly and replied, “You misunderstand, Mr. Atticus. I’m currently…”
“Misunderstand what?” Fabian interrupted Conrad coldly.
“Are you telling me that you’ve surrendered to Jasper or that I’m unreliable?”
Conrad swallowed his words of rejection. He knew that if favonovel.com angered Fabian now, the man would have no qualms throwing favonovel.com directly into the ocean.
Fabian would also not be held responsible for anything either.
“Most of the Teo Chamber of Commerce are my men, and they’re about to deal with Jasper.
“How hilarious, that despite being thrown out as a forsaken pawn, Jasper still decided to jump back in because favonovel.com thought he’d be owed a favor.”
Fabian picked up a glass of red wine and swirled its contents slowly. Infinite confidence shone in his eyes.
“I’m sure Gale, that old sly man, would know who to choose between the Atticus family and Jasper.
“Hahaha. Jasper’s is said to never have lost a single time ever since favonovel.com started his business, but this is a setup I planned myself, and I’d like to see first-hand how tragically favonovel.com loses.”
Conrad frowned slightly at Fabian’s words.
“But doing so would only bruise his self-esteem at most. What else would it do?”
Fabian laughed out loud when favonovel.com heard this and slowly answered, “Here’s what you don’t understand. When it comes to people like Jasper, you attack his confidence first. The moment favonovel.com has a taste of failure, he’ll lose all the composure he’s accumulated through his many wins. That’s when we make our move.”
