Chapter 2848 Hit Me
Taken aback, Hester exclaimed, “A hundred million? How could I possibly have that many spiritcoins with me? I need to go and withdraw it.”
Right then, Tyrone was stunned that Jared was not only denying the fact that he had beatensomeone up but was also asking Hester for a loan. Whoa! How shameless!
“It's no use denying it when Mr. Seizon is still bearing injuries, Jared!” he roared following the man'sdenial.
“That's because he's clumsy and fell. What has it got to do with me?” Jared scoffed with a disdainfulsnicker.
“How dare you!” Tyrone was so livid that he had steam coming out of his ears.
The few guards were also looking grim at present, for they had never expected Hester to come.
“All right, since I did not witness this incident, let's just put a close to it. Henceforth, no one isallowed to do violence in Jipsdale!” Hester declared with a wave of his hand.
It was evident that he was brushing the matter off without pursuing it further.
Hearing that, Cloud immediately protested, “Mr. Sparrow, I'm bearing injuries, and there are alsoeyewitnesses to the incident! Yet, you're closing the case with a single sentence? In this case, doesthat mean that I can also do violence in Jipsdale?”
“You can try it.” Hester's expression turned icy at how the younger man challenged him, and hestared at Cloud with a chilly look in his eyes.
At his expression, Cloud hastily amended, “I was just giving an example. I'll never do violence andviolate Jipsdale's rules. But Jared indeed hit me. It was an act of violence!”novelbin
“As I said, I didn't witness it. If I see him doing violence, I'll definitely punish him,” Hester asserted.
“Okay, then. I'll show you how arrogant he is!”
After saying that, Cloud stalked up to Jared. He glanced at Viola beside the man and drawled, “Thiswoman is your partner, huh, Jared? But isn't it a waste for her to serve you alone when she's sopretty? Once you've left Jipsdale, I'll strip her bare and have everyone mount her.”
“What a monster and scoundrel!” Viola snapped furiously, her face flushed bright red.
Nonetheless, Cloud merely looked at Jared with a smile on his face. He was deliberately provokingthe man to strike him. Then, Hester would be able to witness it personally.
“Are you purposefully provoking me so I'd hit you?” Jared asked.
“Yes. Weren't you all high and mighty just now? Why, have you lost your guts now that Mr. Sparrowis here? Hit me! Come on!”
Cloud placed his face right before the man and goaded him incessantly.
“Since you want to be beaten so badly, I'll grant you your wish.”
While saying that, Jared lifted his hand and swung it forward.
Slap!
A crisp sound rang out as a hard smack landed on Cloud's face.
Unexpectedly, while Cloud was thrilled and ready to urge Hester to punish Jared, the latter did notstop but continued slapping him.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
A series of crisp slapping sounds split the air as the smacks landed on his face.
Everyone was stumped at that sight. Cloud's head whipped back and forth as Jared slapped him,yet he dared not retaliate.
Tyrone quickly stepped forward upon seeing that and said to Hester, “Do you see this, Mr. Sparrow?Are you seeing this? Jared has gotten physical. He's hitting Mr. Seizon!”
“I see it. I don't need you to remind me about it,” Hester uttered coldly.
“In that case, hurry up and put a stop to it!” Tyrone prompted anxiously.
By then, Cloud had already been slapped a dozen times by Jared. He wanted to dodge, but it wasalready too late as his head spun from all the strikes he had suffered.
“Are you giving me an order?” Hester regarded Tyrone with a frosty expression on his face.
Such fear struck Tyrone that he shuddered and waved his hands, denying, “No, no, I'd never dare!”
Everyone watched quietly as Cloud was beaten into a pulp. Not a single person stepped forward toput a stop to it.
