Life at the Top

Erik turned to look at Jim as he lay on the hospital bed, his eyes twitching wildly.

He took a deep breath and said, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? Why don’t you ask someone to beat me up then?”

“That’s a good idea,” Henry said with a grin, “I meant to hire someone to put you in a sack and then soak you in the sea for a few hours to cool you down, but someone refuses to let me do it.”

As he said that, Henry shrugged, looking as if it was a shame.

Erik gritted his teeth with a sullen expression. He had never seen anyone so arrogant, telling to his face that they planned to soak him in the sea?

This was simply a humiliation to Erik!

He looked up at Jasper, knowing that he was the person who would ultimately decide his fate.

Jasper, however, turned to Jim and asked, “Uncle Jim, what do you plan to do? If you want to return the punches then just say the word and I’ll get it done immediately.”

Erik gritted his teeth. He could tell that Jasper was serious about it. As long as Jim nodded, then he would not be able to escape the brutal beating he would get today.
