“Of course I’m scared.”
Even though Jasper said that, he did not look scared at all.
“Why don’t you do it now, Mr. Atticus? You have so many people out there. You only need to say a
word and then I’ll die on the spot.”
Fabian looked at Jasper and smirked, “Interesting.”
Jasper strode to a chair beside the bed and sat down. Then, he took out an apple and started peeling it
naturally.
He was like a normal caretaker as he lowered his head to look at the spinning apple and the apple skin
that was growing longer and longer. Then, he said slowly, “Since you’re hurt, you have to rest more.
You have to eat more fruits to replenish your vitamins. It’s good for the recovery of your wounds.”
Fabian frowned and looked at Jasper suspiciously. He started to look more impatient as well.
“Jasper, what are you trying to say?”
Jasper chuckled and said, “Are you getting impatient? This is not the Mr. Atticus I know.”
“What is your impression of me?” Fabian scoffed.
“I won’t say as steady as a mountain, but you wouldn’t be so easily frustrated. However, there’s no
difference. You’re still someone I defeated.”
Jasper’s words clearly infuriated Fabian.
“Do you think you’ve won?” Fabian looked at Jasper with a mocking look.
“Judging from the timing of events, the time the fire started last night was also the same time I took
down all of your positions on the Dow Jones Index.
“In other words, once you see your capital account when the Dow Jones market commences tonight,
you will find a few red zeroes.”
When Jasper said this, he handed the peeled apple to Fabian. Then, he continued while grinning,
“Fortunately, the index futures market will forcefully liquidate your assets if you don’t have any funds
left. If you’re allowed to go into debt, you’d probably be a billion dollars in debt now, Mr. Atticus.”
The corners of Fabian’s lips twitched.
After he looked at Jasper grimly, he looked at the apple in Jasper’s hand.
An ordinary person would fly into a rage by now, but Fabian was not an ordinary person.
He laughed and then took the apple from Jasper. After he took a bite, he said, “If that’s not my apple, I
wouldn’t dare to eat it.”
“If you won’t call your men to shoot me to death here, then I won’t be so stupid as to have the thought
of poisoning you here,” Jasper shrugged and said.
As Fabian chomped down on the apple, he said profoundly, “Not bad. This apple tastes so refreshing.”
“Jasper, as things stand, I’ve lost half of all my funds to you.”
Jasper lifted his eyes and said, “So are you saying that there’s more to come?”
“Of course.” Fabian smiled coyly again. Then, he lifted his finger to point at the outside of the window.
He said, “Henry is still locked up over there. What are you willing to risk to get him out?”
“He doesn’t need me to risk anything to save him,” Jasper shook his head and said.
Fabian scoffed and said faintly, “Jasper, you’re too confident.”
“Mr. Atticus, image if a normal person with a normal intelligence had two buttons in front of them. One
could make someone else lose 1 million bucks while the other button could make themselves earn 500
thousand bucks, what do you think the average person would choose?”
“The 500 thousand button of course,” Fabian said insipidly.
“That’s right. This will reflects upon our negotiation.”
Jasper clapped his hands and said with a grin, “Free Henry, Alex, and Howard and the Dow Jones
Index won’t change tonight. Even though you won’t be able to get back everything you lost, you can
preserve half of the one billion US Dollars you put in yesterday.”
Fabian immediately understood what Jasper was implying.
This was a blatant threat.
