Chapter 228


    Seeing how Sasha was hesitating for so long without showing any willingness to go over to him, Jacob


    furrowed his brows and said, “Youngdy, looks like you’re not giving me any face.


    That’s fine! If that’s the case, that just means we’re not friends. Liam, I’ve done my best for you, but


    your family is looking down on us.


    So let it be this way then, that no matter what happens at the construction site afterward, it has nothing


    to do with us!”


    With a m on the table, all the other men stood up and the one with the dagger earlier pulled it out of


    the table and red menacingly at Matthew. “Damn it, kneel down now and apologize to Jacob!


    Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’re all dead!”


    James and Helen were shaking in fear as Liam yelled angrily, “Look what you’ve done, Matthew!


    Damn it, you should just shut your mouth if you’re dumb! Sasha, it’s not that I don’t want to help you


    out with thepany, but with an attitude like yours, not even a deity can help you out! You’re on


    your own now, Matthew!”


    All the other men red threateningly at Matthew, appearing as if they were ready to pounce on him


    anytime and take his life. With an ashen face, Demi chided in, “Matthew, just shut your mouth if you


    can’t say anything! Sasha, sit over there and save Jacob some dignity!”


    Immediately, Jacob broke into a smile. “That’s the way! Youngdy, let me tell you that I treat people


    well. If everything goes fine today, not only that construction site, no matter what problems you’ll have


    in the future, I’ll make sure it goes smoothly for you!”


    Bursting into a round ofughter, the other men stared expectantly at Sasha. However, Matthew pulled


    Sasha behind himself and stared coldly at Jacob. “Jacob, I’ll give you a chance now! If you kneel down


    and kowtow in apology, then I’ll let you off!”


    Everyone was stunned and Jacob’s face turned sullen as he pointed at Matthew and yelled, “You


    b*stard, you must be seeking death! Get him!”


    The one with the dagger shed out his knife and appeared in front of Matthew, swinging around in a


    stance, but didn’t dare to bring the dagger anywhere near him.


    Nonchntly, Matthew could already tell that he was merely putting up a show. All the man knew was


    just to shoot his mouth off without any true ability, but it was enough to frighten the likes of James and


    the others. In the face of someone capable, they were all a bunch of trash without any use at all.


    In the meantime, Sasha was so frightened that she stammered anxiously, “Matthew, d-don’t y


    around with them. A-At the most, we’ll abandon this construction site! I don’t care about the money as


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    long as you’re safe!”


    Chuckling, Matthew asked, “Why should we abandon the construction site? Can these few pieces of


    trash affect Cunningham Pharmaceuticals?”


    Infuriated, the man with the dagger shouted at him, “B*stard, I’ll kill you!” Aiming the de at his arm,


    he lunged forward. Being the coward that he was, he didn’t dare to stab him at his vitals and merely


    wanted to give him a cut to frighten him.


    But even before he could stab him in the arm, Matthew made his move first and swiftly sped him by


    his wrists, twisting it and breaking it directly. The crisp sound of broken bones rang in everyone’s ears


    and the men fell howling to the ground while holding his wrist.


    Stunned, everyone was unsure of the situation now. The one with the dagger was defeated by the one


    without it?


    Hopping mad, Jacob mmed the table and sprang up. “Damn it, how dare you touch my men? Get


    him!” The other men rushed forward simultaneously.


    cing himself in front of Sasha, Matthew grabbed the wine bottle next to him and stepped forward,


    beating all the men to the ground. Everyone watched in shock as they didn’t expect him to be such a


    good fighter.


    While grabbing his head, Jacob threatened in his pathetic state, “Lad, you’re something! Just wait. Just


    wait here for me and I’m going to call for backup now! Don’t run away if you have the guts! I’ll kill you in


    a while!”


    Then, they all escaped in panic while the ones left in the room stared at each other. After a stretch of


    silence, Liamughed coldly.


    “Well, isn’t that just great, Matthew? You beat up Jacob and his gang after they got tipsy and couldn’t


    put up a fight properly. Hmph, I’ll stay here and watch how they’ll take care of you when they return


    <pter!”
