George felt as if his organs had shifted out of place. His stomach was churning, and he felt horrible.

He tried hard to get up but his entire body was limp and powerless. He lifted his head with all his might but could only see Jasper’s leather shoes.

“You had a lot of fun calling me little idiot, huh?”

George gritted his teeth tightly, but at this moment, even if he was resolute, he did not dare to speak anymore.

“You kept saying that the stakes are high in Swallow Capital. Were you having fun acting like a poser?”

George was gasping for air while enduring the pain in his chest and stomach. He opened his mouth challengingly and said, “Just kill me or hack me into pieces if you dare!”

“How stubborn.”

Jasper smiled, and his eyes went cold instantly.
