CHAPTER 728: CHAPTER 728: ARE YOU AFRAID NOW?

"Jasper, don’t worry about me!"

Rhys Linden allowed his shoulder to be pressed down without even struggling or resisting.

In terms of physical combat, this group of bodyguards might not be his match.

Jasper Sinclair hesitated—it shouldn’t be like this... Soon, Rhys answered his question.

"These bastards played dirty, they’ve injected me with a sedative!"

So, currently, Rhys Linden was unable to exert any strength. Not collapsing to the ground was his last show of defiance.

He was furious but powerless.

At this moment, Jenson Sinclair threatened, "Now, do you still dare to shoot?"

The situation suddenly turned passive, Jasper Sinclair’s brows furrowed tightly.

He couldn’t ignore Rhys Linden, but he wouldn’t let Jenson Sinclair succeed either.

Two gunshots were heard.

Jasper Sinclair fired two shots, hitting the bodyguards behind Rhys Linden, one shot per person.

Rhys was able to relax, quickly running to stand behind Jasper Sinclair, apologizing, "Jasper, I’m sorry, I caused trouble for you."

"Can you still hold on?"

Rhys Linden gritted his teeth, saying he could.

The current situation was already passive, and being outnumbered made it even harder to resolve.

Jenson Sinclair rarely had the upper hand, and today’s arrangement made him feel delighted.

Even his thin lips couldn’t suppress the arc of a smile, revealing a hidden joy, "Cousin, you’ve been above me for twenty years, didn’t expect you’d see this day!"

Jasper Sinclair was indifferent, "If I can keep you down for a day, I can keep you down for a lifetime."

"Facing death and still stubbornly playing tough."

"If you want to see the whole branch destroyed by your hands, then let’s give it a try."

Jasper Sinclair’s tone carried a layer of viciousness, making one believe he would truly follow through.

But that was a later concern.

His current strategy was only one word: stalling!

Stall until the yacht reached the shore, Louis Hayes would have a way to assist.

At the moment, Jenson Sinclair was completely unaware that the yacht was only a few nautical miles from the dock.

To buy time, Jasper Sinclair threw out an enticing suggestion, "Why don’t we play a card game? You win, Aegis Assurance returns to you. I win, Rhys Linden walks free."

He calmly mentioned "Rhys Linden," without considering the matter of leaving together.

Jenson Sinclair sneered at him, "Even now, you’re still concerned with your brotherly bond. Truly deep affection, should I applaud you?"

"Are we betting or not? Or are you afraid?"

Faced with Jenson Sinclair’s rambling, Jasper Sinclair inwardly cursed him as a fool.

Jenson Sinclair had a quick temper and couldn’t stand being provoked. Immediately, he called someone to bring a deck of cards and boasted, "You decide the rules."

Jasper Sinclair was waiting for this moment.

"Remove one-third of the cards, and play the rest according to the usual rules."

This game was taught to them by Grandpa Sinclair, every year at New Year, the whole family would gather to see whose luck was better.

It’s hard to cheat, and even mental calculation might not be accurate, relying solely on the luck of drawing cards.

Before drawing cards, Jenson Sinclair said, "Best out of three, if I win, he goes free."

"Seems like you’re very unsure of yourself."

Jasper Sinclair rarely lost at cards unless he purposely let others win to make everyone happy.

Jenson Sinclair indeed lacked confidence, even regretting agreeing to the card game.

Unfortunately, the arrow was already on the string, and he had no choice but to shoot.
