A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Everything happened so fast that no one had the chance to say anything.

Jack was completely stunned and he couldn't move at all. All he could do was staring at Jacob, thinking that he would be dead at any second now.

But nothing happened.

This gun had an empty magazine.

Jack took a sound breath and wiped out the sweat from his forehead. Jacob instead threw the gun on the floor with all his might.

Arthur was surprisingly calm and composed. He bent down and picked up the gun. "You promised Mr. Gu. Let's not get into any trouble, shall we?" he said, in a plain and clear voice.

Jacob didn't reply, his eyes fixed on Jack. Yet Jack thought he was not out of danger after all, for those eyes were not only sharp as knives but also evil.

Arthur stayed in between the two rivals and made sure to calm them down. Then he left with his men without saying another word. There were no other words needed.

As they left, Jack fell on his knees with frustration and despair. He knew what Arthur meant when he said that Jacob had promised something.

Jacob had a secret deal with Mr. Gu, that until now he knew nothing about. All this time they had fooled him.

Mr. Gu lied, never treated him properly from the very beginning!

"Boom!" Jack smashed the wall using his bare fists.

"Why?!" He shouted. 'Why is always Jacob that takes all? Every single time is the same! That's not fair!' Jack angrily thought.

Jacob turned around and sneered at him, "Why? Because I can. You instead, you worth nothing. Jack, you are not even qualified. You and all your little tricks. Do you think anyone will ever care?"

'I am not qualified? Little tricks?'
