Seeing that Lucian was getting closer to him, Jack was enraged. He warned, “Let me warn you. Only I can make the antidote. If you dare to do anything rash, don’t ever come to me for any antidotes in the future!”
The instant he finished talking, Lucian was already standing right in front of him. Lucian punched him in his abdomen.
Jack groaned and doubled over in pain. His hands instinctively held his tummy, and he began to sweat profusely. “W-What are you trying to do?” asked Jack in shock when Lucian struck him without saying a single word.
Before Jack could finish talking, another punch landed on his face. He could taste blood in his mouth instantly. Before Jack could react, Lucian’s punches:
rained down on all of his vital body parts. Jack was in so much pain that he could not retaliate. He could only put up with the beatings.
“Mr. Farwell! What are you doing? Stop!” Kevin cried out in a hurry and wanted to stop Lucian from beating his boss..
However, the moment he took one step, the two bodyguards held onto his shoulders and stopped him from going forward. Just as he struggled to break free, he heard the sound of things falling to the ground.
He turned and saw that Jack fell onto the table after getting kicked by Lucian. As a result, the things on the table fell to the ground. There was even a distinct shoeprint on Jack’s chest!
Kevin took one look at Jack and Lucian before he stopped struggling. Jack might be terrifying when he got provoked. Unfortunately, Lucian was so much worse, and it caused a chill to run down Kevin’s spine!
Jack spat out the blood in his mouth before laughing out loud in anger. There was a crazed look in his eyes. “How dare you hit me! Are you planning not to save Roxanne? I think your feelings for her are only as such! If that’s the case, she’s better off dead!”
Jack began coughing and laughing crazily. He looked like someone who had lost his mind. He had thought that the mention of Roxanne would spark some reactions from Lucian, but all he could hear was his own laughter in the office.
Jack’s heart sank, and he stopped laughing. Hel then struggled to look at Lucian. There was only indifference on his face and coldness in his eyes. Lucian was not at all affected by what he had said.
It was as though he was entertaining himself. Jack was pissed off when he realized that. He ignored his pain and Lucian’s cold expression and struggled to get the antidote out of the drawer. “You want this, don’t you?”
He looked at Lucian manically before releasing his fingers. The glass bottle fell right to the ground and smashed into pieces. The liquid within also flowed all over the floor.
Jack felt good that he was able to vent his anger. “I can only develop one bottle of antidote each time. Now that this bottle is gone, Roxanne will die for sure! Hahahaha!”
The very next second, another punch landed on his stomach again. Jack shot up from the table because of the pain. The next second, he fell back on the table again.
Instead of being bothered by his physical pain, Jack was taken aback. How is it possible?
After hearing what I have to say, Lucian still dares to hit me!
The entire time, Lucian said nothing. All he did was vented his frustration by kicking and punching Jack. In the end, Jack was unable to say anything. He could only breathe deeply to try to minimize the pain.
After a long while, he was immune to the beating. It was only then Lucian stopped hitting him. Jack’s heart sank. Roxanne must have developed the antidote.
Jack found it hard to believe. It had taken him a long time to concoct the antidote. Yet, Roxanne managed to do the same within a day. How is that possible?
When he saw the coldness and disdain on Lucian’s face, Jack could not help but shudder. All the while, he had been very confident when he faced Lucian because of Roxanne’s antidote.
However, at that moment, he had no leverage against Lucian. He felt only a deep sense of fear when he looked at him. Lucian was indeed the tyrant in the business world. His aura was so overwhelming that Jack found it hard to breathe.
“M-Mr. Farwell, let’s sit down and have a chat. Even if Ms. Jarvis has managed to develop the antidote, I’m sure there will be some flaws. I can-”
He wanted Lucian to let him off because of that. However, when he mentioned Roxanne, Lucian grabbed him by his collar and lifted the top half of his body off the table. Fear flashed across Jack’s eyes. He had no idea what Lucian was up to.
With a grim look on his face, Lucian uttered through gritted teeth, “How dare you mention Roxanne? Roxanne suffered so much because of a hypocrite like you. I’m sure you are aware of that!”
Jack’s lips began to quiver. He was dumbfounded by Lucian’s ice-cold gaze. With a cold smile, Lucian continued to question him, “If I remember correctly, you wanted to watch me climb the stairs half an hour ago, didn’t you, Mr. Damaris? If Roxanne hasn’t managed to come up with the antidote, what other things do you have in mind for me, Mr. Damaris?”
Before Jack could respond, he felt someone stomping on one of his legs. The sharp pain caused Jack to grimace in agony.
“Do you want me to lick your shoes as well, Mr. Damaris?” mocked Lucian. Jack was feeling both fearful and astonished at the same time. Lucian had basically told him that Roxanne had managed to concoct the antidote.
“N-No way! There’s no way anyone can crack my formula for the antidote! Impossible! It took me so long to develop it. How could Roxanne have taken one day to create the antidote? You’re lying!” Jack muttered with his head down.
When he was done, he looked up at Lucian and sought the truth. “Roxanne has died, hasn’t she? Is she dead? That’s why you are here for revenge, aren’t you?”
He would rather believe that Roxanne was dead than believe that she had cracked his formula for the antidote. Furthermore, Roxanne was on the verge of dying.
Lucian eyed him disdainfully and said coldly, “What’s wrong, Mr. Damaris? Did you think that your poison was so powerful? You aren’t willing to believe that Roxanne has managed to crack your formula after you have spent so much time concocting the poison, am I right? To be honest, I have to thank you, Mr. Damaris. She’s able to create the antidote because you have given her the chance to be awake! As for you, be prepared to pay the price for your actions!”
“This can’t be…” mumbled Jack in disbelief. It’s impossible! I added medicinal herbs that only ancient medicine uses in my concoction. How could Roxanne have cracked my formula? I spent so much time creating such an antidote. How did Roxanne do it?
“Nothing is impossible.” Lucian’s voice broke his illusion. “Now that Roxanne is fine, you better be prepared to pay the price for what you have done!” Jack looked on in bewilderment when he heard that Pay the price? Isn’t this bad enough?
Lucian seemed to have known what he was thinking. He said expressionlessly, “This is only the beginning, Mr. Damaris. It isn’t enough vengeance for what you have done.” There was a murderous look in his eyes. “If it’s up to me, you will be dead by now!”
Their eyes met, and all Jack could feel was a chill that traveled from his toes all the way to his entire body. He could not help but cower in fear. One look and he could tell that Lucian meant what he said.
Earlier on, every punch that Lucian had given him had fallen on his vital body parts. If Lucian had used more force, Jack doubted that he could stand properly right now!
Even though Lucian did not use his full strength, Jack felt as if he was about to drop dead. Lucian’s intention was to kill him. However, for some reason, he changed his mind while he was on his way to Jack.
