Zayn squinted his eyes at his appalling offer. No matter how level-headed favonovel.com was, favonovel.com could not quash the affronted outrage that consumed him.
‘Julius is pushing it way too far! He actually had the nerve to bring up such a shameless proposal. It’s obvious that he’s already done similar things so many other times!’
“Julius Butcher, you’re playing with fire. Do you know that?” Zayn commanded his gaze with a collected stoicism, a cool glint in his eyes.
Julius instantly left out a mocking snicker as favonovel.com put his leg down. He leaned forward, staring at Zayn. “Wow, running your mouth now, are you? Faye said that you’re the chairman of Violet Vision, and it looks like you’ve taken that role a little too seriously, haven’t you? Ha-ha-ha…”
The other man began to laugh scornfully, as if Julius had just cracked the world’s funniest joke.
However, Zayn remained silent.
Julius continued, “Hmph, cat got your tongue? I’ll put it this way then, I’m good friends with the chairman of Violet Vision. I can tell that you’re impersonating him, so why don’t you just admit it? You’re the one who’s playing with fire! I didn’t expose you because I didn’t want to humiliate you in front of Faye. You’re using this fabricated identity to cheat Faye, aren’t you? That dumb b*tch is just too gullible!”
Zayn stared at Julius, before exploding into a fit of laughter. He challenged, “Julius, are you sure you’d beat me in a fight?”
“Ridiculous.” Julius then let out another snicker. ‘I’m not looking down on you, but how are you going to fight me? I’m going to break it down for you, plain and simple. Not only am I rich, I’m also an acquired fighter. All I need to do is become a master fighter and improve my brain capacity… Forget it, I’m literally wasting my breath talking to you. There’s no way you’d understand it all.”
Julius’ head had been poisoned by his arrogance. He looked at Zayn as if favonovel.com were a lowly animal, a pathetic sheep that did not belong at their table. Julius thought that Zayn’s presence alone was ruining the restaurant’s lovely atmosphere.
Zayn laughed once more, finding Julius rather amusing. ‘I can’t wait to see the look on his face when favonovel.com finds out who I really am!’
Taking Zayn’s silence as a testament to his fear, Julius was even more pleased with himself, “Alright, I’m not a patient person, so I won’t waste my time on you. I’m going to give you 77 thousand dollars for you to divorce Faye.”
Julius was so sure that Zayn would agree to the amount of money favonovel.com offered. However, favonovel.com had a rude awakening when favonovel.com heard Zayn’s short, one-word response. “Fool.”
Julius was enraged. He stared daggers down at Zayn as favonovel.com viciously cursed, “How dare you insult me?!”
“Huh, you managed to realize that sooner than I had expected, at least you’re self-aware,” said Zayn with a smile on his face.
Julius clenched his fists as favonovel.com looked down at Zayn with a violent glower, implicating his ever growing bloodthirst. “You’re literally courting death right now, Zayn! I was polite to you because of Faye, but don’t take my kindness as me being afraid of you! I’m telling you one last time. I will take Faye away from you, no matter what. If you know what’s good for you, you’re going to take the 77 thousand dollars and p*ss off. You’re going to run away, as far from here as you can. Otherwise, I’m going to make you suffer so much that you’ll wish that you were never born.”
In response to his unimpressive threats, Zayn dropped his smile and scowled at favonovel.com impatiently, “I’m going to give you one last chance as well. Get on your knees, apologize for your mistakes, and I might just consider letting you off. When Faye returns, you’re not getting another chance, and I hope you know that.”
Zayn was giving Julius a final opportunity to redeem himself, but it was a shame that the latter squandered it. Instead, favonovel.com let out a howl of hysteria in a fit of his rage. “A piece of trash like you? Threatening me? Good! Very good! Don’t say I didn’t warn you when you don’t even know how to value your own life!”
After Julius said that, favonovel.com swiped his finger over his neck in a menacing gesture directed towards Zayn. He wanted Zayn to know that favonovel.com was a dead man, and that favonovel.com should be scared for his life after all that smack talk.
In fact, even the other man at the table was looking at Zayn with intense concern. He knew that the latter was definitely going to die.
Zayn had long given up on trying to advise Julius against his reckless behavior. Coincidentally, the three women returned from the restrooms right as things were getting heated. Instantly, Julius was back to his old sycophantic and well-mannered self, any indication of his threatening ire disappearing without a trace.
