"You are Jasper, right? Where is Bernal, that old bastard?" Peter couldn't help but frown when he saw that Jasper was the only one in the room.
He recognized Jasper.
It was clear that he was not the man Peter was looking for.
"Bernal ran away. Peter, please let me go. If you let me go, I will do anything for you. Anything! I can be your dog,"
Jasper pleaded. He was not dumb. He knew that threatening Peter was a bad idea. At this moment, the best thing to do was to beg for mercy.
"Ran away?" Peter said, shocked.
'What a bastard! He is fast! Who told him that I killed the young man?' thought he.
He knew, however, that it was useless to run after him. He would not be able to catch him anymore.
The identity of the informant bothered him more.
"My dog? Are you stupid? I don't need you to be my dog.
You made a big mistake when you kidnapped my friends. Now, you die in hell,"
Peter said as he glared at Jasper and punched him hard.
"You...you can't kill me," Jasper said, terrified as he backed away. He begged for mercy. He was willing to give him everything he could ever want. Money, power... there was so much in it for him. 'Surely, he wouldn't kill me, ' Jasper hoped.
However, Peter did not stop. He punched Jasper's head hard.
Bang! In an instant, Jasper dropped on the floor, dead.
Hanley watched the scene unfold from the side of the room. He couldn't believe that Peter killed Jasper.
This terrified him immensely.
His whole body trembled. He did not dare to move. He really could not believe his eyes.
'He is Jasper, the most powerful man in Golden City! Isn't Peter afraid?' thought he.
He had so many questions but he did not dare to speak. 'This is it. I'm dead. He'll kill me.
He killed Jasper right in front of me. He will surely kill me too, ' thought he.
At the thought of that, Hanley knelt so low on the floor that his forehead almost hit the floor. "Mr. Wang, please forgive me! I swear, I will never tell anyone about this! I didn't see anything! Please! Please don't kill me," he pleaded.
"Well, I can show mercy. But you need to give me a very good reason not to kill you. You don't deserve my mercy. Besides, you saw that I killed Jasper, and frankly, I don't believe a word that you just said,"
Peter remarked as he laughed coldly. Deep inside, he knew he needed Hanley. Else, he would have already killed him before.
"I..." Hanley looked up to Peter and his eyes were filled with fear. He didn't know what to say.
He didn't know how to help Peter. Bernal ran away and he didn't have leads he could share to help find him. He couldn't think of one good reason for Peter not to kill him.
Hanley started to panic. He didn't want to die.
Seeing that Hanley seemed to be at a loss for words, Peter spoke.
"You've been with Bernal for many years. He has done a lot of crimes and you know what those are. I want you to cooperate with the police and destroy the club. Can you do that? If you can't, then let me know so I can let you die with Jasper," he said.
"Yes, I can!" Hanley nodded immediately. He felt hope. It was not difficult for him to do that.
Hanley didn't know what to say. 'Why didn't you tell me that before I started to hurt myself?' he thought angrily.
But again, he did not dare to speak his mind. He bit his lip and started to walk towards Jasper's body despite the pain in his legs. Then, he pierced the knife to his chest.
He stabbed again and again
until Jasper's body was barely recognizable.
When he finished, he turned and found Peter taking a video.
Despite his fuming anger, he did not dare protest.
"You did a good job! I won't kill you. The police are coming and you shall cooperate with them to destroy the Glory Club. If you break your promise, I will come after you and I will no longer let you go," Peter said.
He then took out his needles and stopped the bleeding in Hanley's legs before making his escape.
On the second floor, Cassie sat worried. 'Peter has been out for a long time! Why is he not back yet?' thought she.
Then, she heard noises. It took all her willpower to stop herself from investigating because she also did not want to blow her cover.
"What a bastard! Why is he not back yet? Is he in trouble?' Cassie asked herself. She then took out her phone, about to call Peter.
All of a sudden, the door opened and a man in his forties entered followed by several hitmen.
Cassie's face changed dramatically. She knew who he was.
Bernal Dong!
