“Can you?” Ned’s eyes shone, but he seemed a little hesitant.
“Why the f*ck not? You just have an injured hand. Everything else is still working, no?” Marcus
snickered evilly.
“Then bring me two! I’m going to f*cking celebrate!”
…
At the same time in Nauritus City, Southeast Province.
Someone knocked on the bedroom of a villa.
“Come in.”
Conrad’s tired voice sounded from inside.
The person entered and Conrad switched his desk light on. “What is it? Why did you come looking for
me in the middle of the night?”
“We’ve just gotten news from the people we sent to keep a close eye on Jasper and the Schuler family.
Something has happened to Jasper in Reed City and he’s currently in the emergency room in the
hospital. We don’t know if he’ll make it through the night.”
Conrad’s head snapped up as he asked in a raspy voice, “Are you certain?”
The man nodded. “Wendy took a midnight flight over in Henry’s private plane. From that, I think we can
pretty much confirm that the news is true.”
Conrad furrowed his brows. He was elated a moment ago, yet now he was in despair. He did not even
know what exactly he was feeling anymore.
After a long while, Conrad asked, “Do we know who did it?”
“To prevent Jasper from realizing anything, we didn’t dare keep too close an eye on him. All we can
confirm is that he was attacked by a local family, most likely due to conflict over a plot of land.”
Conrad chuckled weirdly. “What a powerful family. Jasper’s a man not even I, Conrad Monty, could win,
yet they managed to send him to the hospital so easily. What brutal countrymen from unremarkable
villages!”
“What’s next, Mr. Monty?”
Conrad closed his eyes and leaned against the headboard. After a long moment of thought, he replied,
“Nothing. We continue constructing our factory for the MP3 players. Regardless of whether Jasper lives
or not, this is still a largely profitable business.
“As for those villagers in Reed City, it’ll only be a matter of time before they know how horrifying the
consequences of sending Jasper to the hospital is. Leave them be.”
The man nodded. “I understand, Mr. Monty. I’ll be leaving now if there are no further orders.”
Waving him off, Conrad waited for the soft sound of the door clicking shut before murmuring to himself,
“I thought I’d be elated to know that you’re dying soon, Jasper. So why can’t I seem to feel happy about
it at all? Who’s going to be my opponent here in Southeast Province if you die?
“It’s too lonely here without a rival.”
…
When Jasper opened his eyes again, the first sight he met with was Wendy’s reddened and teary eyes.
Jasper was stunned as his mind had yet to realize what was happening. He then felt a sharp stabbing
pain from his shoulder where his wound was, and Jasper could not help but make a muffled sound.
That sharp stabbing sensation woke Jasper completely, and all the memories of what had happened
rushed into his mind.
“You’re awake! You’re awake!” Wendy shouted happily. She tightly grabbed Jasper’s hand with both of
hers and spoke with a tremble in her voice, “You have no idea how scared I was.”
Jasper smiled at the sight of Wendy’s haggard features. “How’d you get here? It’s just a small injury,
I’m alright.”
“What do you mean it’s just a small injury? The doctor said you would’ve been drained of all blood if
you had arrived a moment later! You scared me to death!” Wendy wailed as she forced herself not to
cry.
Jasper chuckled. “Shh, it’s okay. I’m awake now, aren’t I?
“I’ll make them pay a price they can never afford!”
