Victory in Life
Chapter 406
Brad slammed his teacup hard and said that one word in a deep voice.
Since returning from the banquet, Brad's skin didn't look good. The servants in the house did not dare to approach and just stay away from him.
Erik stood to one side without saying a word.
Actually, he did not dare to say a word.
He saw with his own eyes how Jasper and the Law family ridiculed his father viciously.
At this moment, Erik was anxious to hide so that his father would not vent his anger on him.
However, it was destined that he could not escape.
"You're a little older than Jasper but why are you like trash when you're standing next to him?" The more Brad thought about it, the more angry he became. He pointed at Erik and scolded him.
Erik smiled bitterly and said as he put on his feet, "Dad, how many people my age can compare to him?"
Brad's face was grim with dissatisfaction as he said coldly, "I just thought that this kid had such an incredible tactic before, but he was able to advance and retreat so tactically. But tonight, it seems like we have all been fooled by him! It turned out that this kid was hiding a lot of things behind his sleeves!"
"Then, it was said that there were two people of your generation who became great, one from the south and one from the north. At the age of ten, the heavens punished the first son of the Brown family's first wife from the north because he was a criminal. Eventually, he had to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. The other, in Waterhoof City in the south, a little prince who was also the grandson of the supreme emperor."
"These two people can do a revival for your generation, but now it looks like you need to add Jasper as a third person."
Erik's facial expression suddenly changed when he heard these words. He said in surprise, "Even if Jasper was that great, he was still a kid with no background in the end. What qualifications does he have to compare to the two?"
Brad said coldly, "Do you still think he has no background? the Law family was already quite a backdrop for him! What's more, which of the four wealthy families in Harbor City didn't show him any respect?"
"And that was before tonight. After today's banquet, the large figure in the audience room praised him nonstop. Even if it doesn't state its position, at least its name will be remembered."
Erik said with a jealous expression, "I still don't think he can be compared to the villains from the Brown family and the little prince from Waterhoof City. He's still miles away."
Brad snorted coldly. "Give him time and it's not impossible for him to be third."
"Dad, look at his attitude towards us tonight. When he truly becomes someone in the future, I worry that he will make us suffer," Erik said with a horrifying expression.
Brad said gloomily, "Why wait until the future? Do you think Old Man Law came just to cheer him up and show him support? Old fox of this level would have a purpose even when he blinked."
"I received the news that this time, the Act intends to exclude us from the profit-sharing of the Olympic venue construction."
Erik was shocked to hear that. "What can we do?"
Brad becomes increasingly impatient with his son who can only ask him what to do. "You're not a child anymore, can't you think of a solution yourself?"
Erik said helplessly, "So many people and everything is involved in this and I don't have the ability to do that."
"If you know that you don't have the ability, study hard! Stop doing small things all day. You're one of Turner's and you'll have more rivals!" Brad said while feeling annoyed at Erik for failing to live up to expectations.
After taking a deep breath, Brad continued, "Our old man won't shut up and watch this happen. The whole Turner family is gonna do something about this."
"However, this time around, the Law family not only entered the game itself, but three of the other four wealthy families were also very interested. Presumably, the Law family did a lot of work in the middle. As you know, Harbor is a very special place. The people from the upper classes were eager to have a closer relationship with Harbor City."
"For this reason, the Turner family will not fight alone. We can't let the people of Harbor City devour all the benefits, but if this is the case, Jasper won't have the energy to solve it. Therefore, I leave this matter to you to deal with."
Up here, Brad looked at Erik with burning eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Even if you can't kill him, you have to hurt him so that he won't be able to recover from paralysis for at least five years."
