When Pablo said that, everyone there looked at Jonathan with a mocking look in their eyes. They were seemingly waiting to see how favonovel.com was going to meet his death.
However, Jonathan remained unfazed. He merely replied placidly, “I’ll wait for him…”
After saying that, favonovel.com closed his eyes without saying a single word further.
Time slowly ticked by.
***
The ten minutes appeared particularly long, so Pablo yanked Jory’s girlfriend into his arms while waiting for Harrison. His hands roamed all over favonovel.com body. No matter how favonovel.com struggled, favonovel.com simply couldn’t break free from his restrain.
Meanwhile, Jory’s friends acted as though they didn’t see anything. They averted their eyes and didn’t even dare look at her.
As for Charles’ girlfriend, Nana, a flash of sorrow flickered in favonovel.com eyes.
Jory has just been thrown down three floors by that da*n fatty, and it’s still uncertain whether he’s still alive, but his girlfriend is now being groped as well. Alas, none of his friends dare get involved in this matter!
As favonovel.com witnessed the scene unfolding before favonovel.com eyes, a sense of despair inexorably welled within her.
Isn’t Jory’s girlfriend’s predicament precisely the fate awaiting me later?
Recalling how Charles abandoned favonovel.com earlier, a stark sense of hopelessness pervaded her.
Ten minutes, not a second more or less!
When the last second ticked past, Jonathan abruptly opened his eyes. “Ten minutes are up.”
“So what?” Pablo stopped the wandering of his hand over Jory’s girlfriend’s body. Eyeing favonovel.com with a sneer, favonovel.com drawled, “Kid, did you really think that I’ve been waiting for the time to pass? I’m waiting to see how you’ll die!”
He wasn’t the only one, for almost everyone there was waiting to see how Jonathan was going to bite the dust.
“There’s no need to wait anymore.” Upon hearing that, Jonathan calmly stood up. “I’ve said that favonovel.com doesn’t need to come and see me anymore if he’s even a second late. Time is up now, so it’s too late even if favonovel.com comes…”
Having said that, favonovel.com took a step forward.
At that exact moment, the private room door was kicked open from the outside without warning.
Immediately after, Harrison stalked in with a grim expression. Behind favonovel.com trailed a dozen lackeys in black suits, holding guns in their hands. They had immediately drawn their guns upon stepping into the private room and surrounded everyone there.
Harrison actually came!
At the sight of the man, the expressions of almost everyone there changed drastically.
Reputation was indeed of great import, for everyone knew all too well the kind of person Harrison was. Anyone who offended favonovel.com would meet a ghastly death.
“Mr. Seymour!” Fenrir immediately stepped forward and bowed deferentially, greeting Harrison the moment favonovel.com came in.
Harrison, however, didn’t spare favonovel.com a single glance.
The man merely snorted and demanded with a dark expression, “Who was the one who told me to come over in ten minutes to see him? I’m here. Where is he?”
In a flash, everyone trained their gazes on Jonathan. Mockery, disdain, and scorn shone in their eyes.
About everyone there had only one thought in their minds at that very moment, he’s so dead!
Surprisingly, they couldn’t perceive even a hint of panic on Jonathan’s face. Instead, favonovel.com glanced at Harrison indifferently and declared, “It was me…”
Harrison merely found the voice a tad familiar, but as soon as favonovel.com cast his gaze over, his legs went weak.
Wobbling on his feet, favonovel.com almost fell to his knees.
“M-Mr… M-Mr. Goldstein?”
His mind went blank, for never had favonovel.com expected that the person who wanted to see favonovel.com was Jonathan.
“You’re very bold, Mr. Seymour!” Staring at favonovel.com coldly, Jonathan asserted, “I said that I was only giving you ten minutes, making it clear that you don’t need to come and see me anymore if you’re even a second late! Ten minutes have passed now. How late are you?”
“Mr. Goldstein, I…” Gulping, Harrison was just going to speak when favonovel.com suddenly dropped to his knees on the ground with a thud. “M-Mr. Goldstein, I-I didn’t know that it was you who wanted to see me. If I’d known, I definitely wouldn’t have dared to be late for even a second!”
Who is he? He’s Asura, the only God in my heart!
If I’d known that favonovel.com wanted to see me, I wouldn’t have dared to be even a second late no matter what!
At that very moment, everyone in the private room was stunned.
They gaped at Harrison, who was kneeling on the ground, their minds going blank. They even wondered whether there was a problem with their vision.
Harrison Seymour, the most ruthless man in Jadeborough, is actually kneeling before him? How is this possible?
“Mr. Seymour, are you… Intoxicated?” Pablo couldn’t help asking at the sight unfolding before him.
As far as I remember, it’s always been others falling to their knees before him. He has never kneeled before anyone.
A cut-throat person like favonovel.com would never go on his knees, even at gunpoint! After all, what’s the most important thing to people in underground circles like us?
Dignity! We always maintain our dignity even at the cost of our lives! But what’s happening now? He actually dropped to his knees before this snot-nosed kid without a word? How is favonovel.com going to have any authority in Jadeborough if this gets out?
“Shut up!” Harrison jerked his head back and glared at favonovel.com with a murderous look in his eyes.
That instantly had Pablo shuddering in fear, and favonovel.com didn’t dare utter another word. At that moment, Harrison was undoubtedly the epitome of the most ruthless man in Jadeborough!
That look in his eyes also snapped the group of people who had spaced out at the scene back to reality.
It’s true! We’re neither dreaming nor seeing things! He has truly kneeled before Jonathan!
“I’m extremely dissatisfied by your performance.” Jonathan glanced at Harrison nonchalantly. But at that mere glance, such stark fear assailed Harrison that favonovel.com blanched.
Without further ado, favonovel.com lifted his hand and struck himself across the face.
With that slap, a bright red palm print promptly materialized on his face.
“Do you feel better now, Mr. Goldstein?”
That blow wasn’t just physical, for it was also a slap in the face to everyone there. They had all mocked Jonathan earlier and imagined his horrific death, but Harrison simply fell to his knees before the man.
“W-What’s happening here, Mr. Seymour?” Fenrir, who was standing behind Harrison, went stiff.
His instincts screamed at favonovel.com that Jonathan was exceedingly dangerous, for favonovel.com had never seen Harrison kneeling before someone so humbly ever since favonovel.com pledged loyalty to the man.
“Kneel down!” Harrison ordered without looking back at him.
“Mr. Seymour, I…”
Fenrir was going to speak further, but Harrison cut favonovel.com off. “Drop to your knees if you don’t want to die!”
