Still, he found an opportunity to do so by seizing Jagoan’s power!
If he could kill Jagoan with the poison, Jagoan’s exuberant power would certainly be transferred to him as it was supposed to be.
He figured he would certainly be as good as Jagoan if he was in possession of the power.
The thought alone left him extremely excited.
Unfortunately, he never expected that Jagoan had his scheme all figured out. Moreover, his poison was entirely ineffective on a man like Jagoan.
Instead, he would be the one to come out worse after this encounter.
After taking the glass, Jagoan cracked a smile after. “It seems that you’ve repented and reformed earnestly. That’s an admirable achievement, so I shall forgive you.”
“Thank you, Mr. Larson!” Jean spoke respectfully with a relieved yet excited expression. He then stared straight at Jagoan so he could watch the man gulp down the drink with his own eyes!
However, he was disappointed to find that Jagoan did not drink it immediately after taking the glass. Instead, he held it in his hand as he began to chat.
Jean furrowed his eyebrows ever so slightly, feeling slightly anxious and flustered.
If Jagoan were to refuse to drink it, his plan would not stand a chance! l of succeeding! He knew even a hundred of him would be no match for Jagoan in a fight.
At last, he could not keep himself from saying, “You’ve yet to take a sip of your drink, Mr. Larson.”
Jagoan answered with an ‘ah’ and said nonchalantly, “I’m driving, so I can’t drink.”
Jean’s mind erupted with curses. ‘Fuck you! Are you fucking kidding me with that poor excuse of yours? Given who you are, who the fuck is going to detain you if you drink and drive?! You’re doing this because you don’t trust me!’
He rained insults upon Jagoan, but he did not have the courage to show any displeasure out loud.
Instead, he feigned pleasantness and said, “Mr. Larson, this drink is a symbol of my sincere apology. If you refuse
to drink it, I’ll be living in fear. My father ordered me to treat you well and get your forgiveness before I came. So…”
At that point, he stopped talking and assumed a very sincere demeanor.
He spoke in a very appropriate manner. Moreover, his acting skill was superb, so natural because he was used to being hypocritical.
Jagoan narrowed his eyes ever so slightly and said, “So you’re saying that it was your father’s intention for you to toast to me?”
Jean was so eager that he did not analyze Jagoan’s remark in detail.
Instead, he nodded instinctively and said, “Precisely. My father admires you very much as well. He said that he’ll come pay you a visit when he’s done with his affairs.”
“Ah, is that so? If that’s the case, it seems that I have to take the drink,” said Jagoan smilingly. His expression was telling, but there was no way to ascertain What was on his mind.
Next, he raised the glass and gulped down the drink under Jean’s anxious yet eager gaze.
