What Henry said caused Martin’s face to turn a dark reddish purple.

He was embarrassed, angry, and ashamed. Those intertwining emotions caused his eyes to become bloodshot as he so badly wanted to swallow Henry whole.

Martin turned shame into anger. He pointed at Jasper and Henry as he yelled and stomped his feet, “No one dares to talk to me that way in Southeast Province! You’re looking down on the Montys, huh? Alright! Just you wait!”

After he said that, Martin took out his phone.

When Jasper saw Martin calling for backup, Jasper said insipidly, “Are you calling your elders?”

Martin chuckled coldly and said, “Are you scared? If you kneel, beg for mercy, kowtow three times, and then crawl out of here, I might consider forgiving you.”

“I mean it’s useless even if you call those irrelevant people. Why don’t I help you call them instead?” As Jasper said that, he dialed a number.

When Martin saw Jasper making the call, he was immediately bewildered.
