Life at the Top

“F *ck you!”

The young man who was spat on flew into a rage. He lifted his hand and punched Jake in the face. Immediately, Jake fell to the ground whilst still tied to the chair.

Then, Jake struggled to get up from the ground. He touched his swollen and red cheek with his tongue and then spat out some saliva that was mixed with blood before staring coldly at the young man.

“Kill me if you have the guts.”

It felt as if the young man was insulted as he faced Jake’s smirk. Hence, he lifted his leg to kick Jake’s head. If he managed to kick Jake, Jake would be seriously injured.

However, the young man was stopped and pulled away by his colleague.

“Don’t be so impulsive. If we kill him, you and I will be in trouble.”

The colleague’s intervention soothed the young man’s anger.

The young man pointed at Jake and said with a scoff, “Don’t be so f*cking pleased with yourself!”

“There is all the time in the world later. I promise that if you don’t cooperate with us, the remaining time will be the most torturous period of your life. You will never forget this for the rest of your life.”

Jake looked at him frigidly and did not say anything.

The young man pulled the chair back and sat down. Then, he slammed his hand down the table and roared, “Jake Cullen, tell us!”

“Did someone tell you to perform illegal financial transactions abroad? Do you know that such a huge amount is enough to make you spend the rest of your life behind bars?”

Jake chuckled coldly and said, “I told you, everything I did was legal. I have records of all the procedures so the illegal transaction you mentioned doesn’t exist.”

Now, the young man’s colleague came out to act as the good cop. He lifted Jake’s chair and helped him sit properly. He even placed a lit cigarette next to Jake’s lips.

“Jake, you have to know that you’re just working for someone else. Why are you holding on for him?
