Chapter 347 The Furious Shawn
“I don’t consume alcohol!”
Jonathan rejected with a flat tone
He didn’t have the intention to take the wine glass.
At Jonathan’s words, Shawn’s face immediately sank. “What do you mean?”
How dare someone refuses my offer in Jipsdale?
“Didn’t I make myself clear enough?” Jonathan glanced at Shawn coldly. “I told you, I don’t drink alcohol!”
“It seems like you don’t know the rules here!” Suddenly, Shawn stood up abruptly.
His eyes were cold, and his words seemed threatening.
“I’ve never met someone in Jipsdale who dares disrespect me!” Shawn looked toward Jonathan with an icy expression. Then, he
said, “I’ll finish my glass of wine. As for you, you can drink as you wish!”
After finishing the sentence, Shawn raised his wine glass and swallowed the content.
Bang! Shawn smashed the glass of red wine. It turned into powder after falling to the ground.
It was apparent that Shawn was infuriated.
He was trying to use his actions to express his anger.
“I suggest you quickly finish your wine. Nobody in Jipsdale dares offend Mr. Jones. Do you not want to continue living in Jipsdale
in the future?” Francis noticed that Shawn was furious. Thus, he immediately shot a meaningful glance at Jonathan.
One has to keep their head down under someone else’s roof. Jipsdale is the Jones family’s territory. If you don’t respect him, it
will also mean that you’re disrespecting the Jones family. Do you think you can leave Jipsdale in one piece if you offend the
Jones family?
“To me, he’s a nobody!” Jonathan still rejected without hesitation.
Why should I show respect? He’s merely the spoiled heir to the Jones family. How dare he force me to do so? Even if the most
powerful man in Jipsdale stands before me, does he have the guts to make me honor him?
“Hey, I’ll ask you one last time. Are you going to drink it or not?” Right now, Shawn’s face was extremely dark.
If they weren’t in a desolate place that had nobody around, Shawn would’ve already ordered someone to break Jonathan’s leg.
In Jipsdale, a person who embarrassed Shawn would be similar to seeking death.
“I’ve said it again and again. I don’t take alcohol. Do you not understand my words?” A cold glint flashed across Jonathan’s eyes.
In that instant, the onlookers fell silent.
Everyone looked at Jonathan as if he was an idiot.
How arrogant! I can’t believe this brat is so full of himself! Nobody in Jipsdale dares speak to Mr. Jones in that way. Is he trying to
find death?
As the atmosphere became tenser, Francis quickly came forward to smooth things out. “Mr. Jones, calm down. I’ll drink the glass
of wine on behalf of him!”
With that, Francis downed his wine in one gulp. “Mr. Jones, cheers!”
While speaking, Francis purposely turned the wine glass upside down to show Shawn that he had finished the content in the
glass.
Unfortunately, Francis’ actions didn’t dissipate Shawn’s anger. Instead, the latter became more infuriated. He glared at Francis
viciously and scolded, “Get lost! Who do you think you are? What makes you think you’re worthy enough to help him finish his
wine?”
With that said, Shawn turned toward Jonathan. With a threatening tone, he said, “Hey, you sure have some guts. When we get
out of this damned place, I’ll get you for this!”
After finishing his sentence, Shawn kicked the napkin in front of him and yelled, “Why are you guys still eating? Everyone, get up
immediately! Let’s continue our journey!”
“Yes, Mr. Jones!”
Upon hearing Shawn’s orders, his subordinates and followers were so afraid they immediately got up and packed their stuff
without a word.
As for Francis, he looked at Jonathan awkwardly. At that moment, Francis couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.
This time, it was apparent that Shawn held a grudge against Jonathan.
All the citizens in Jipsdale knew that Shawn was a vengeful person.
At that moment, even Cecilia stared at Jonathan with a shocked expression as a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes.
She knew how powerful the Jones family was. Hence, even she dared not provoke the members of the family.
Besides disrespecting Shawn, I can’t believe this guy has the guts to ignore Shawn’s threats. From where did he get the
confidence? Doesn’t he know how strong the Jones family is in Jipsdale?
“I guess he is acting this way because he’s young and reckless. Moreover, I don’t think he knows how influential these families
are!” Cecilia shook her head and thought of Jonathan as a young and immature snob.
She didn’t care about Jonathan’s safety after leaving this godforsaken place.
What does a stranger’s life have to do with me?
In her eyes, there was a big gap between Jonathan and her. It was as if she was a mythical being that would soar in the sky
while Jonathan would only be an earthworm crawling on the ground. That was the vast difference between them.
She was sure that after exiting this terrible place, she would never have any interactions with Jonathan.
Thus, there was no reason for her to interfere with the matter.
Not long after, the group of people continued to rush toward their destination.
Sadly, after the quarrel between Jonathan and Shawn, the group of young people dared not get any closer to Jonathan. Instead,
they would keep their distance from Jonathan. Especially Francis, who had previously taken the initiative to make friends with
Jonathan. Right now, Francis would stay as far away as possible from Jonathan.
It was as if he was worried that Jonathan would bring him into a mess.
However, Jonathan wasn’t bothered by their actions.
Jonathan thought it was better for them to distance themselves from him. The further they were, the less trouble they would
cause him.
Time flew by, and an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.
The sky gradually darkened.
The pitch-black forest fell silent. Occasionally, one would hear the hissing sound of a venomous snake that would make a person
feel chills down the spine.
Whenever the howling sound of a wolf sounded, Shawn would hurriedly turn on his flashlight.
Instantly, a beam of light shone across the dark sky in the forest.
“Mr. Jones, should we continue moving forward?” One of Shawn’s followers who was behind him felt uncomfortable. It was
apparent that the bunch of silver-spoon kids had never encountered a situation like this.
Since youth, they had never even farmed. Needless to say, they wouldn’t come to a place so eerie and frightening.
“Of course. Why shouldn’t we?” Jonathan snorted when he heard the words of the follower who walked behind him. Then, with a
disdainful expression, he glanced at Jonathan, who was in front of them. “He isn’t afraid to walk alone. As we have a group of
people heading toward the destination together, why should we be scared?”
“But, Mr. Jones—”
“No more buts! Keep moving forward!” Shawn interrupted his follower’s words furiously.
Even though Shawn was afraid, he still had to suppress his feelings because Jonathan was ahead of him.
When compared to the cowardly rich kids, Cecilia seemed more natural and calmer. When all of them refused to walk in the
front, she was the one who led the way.
“Mr. Jones, we should hurry up. If not, we would be a joke if that person arrived at Shadow Dragon Pool before us!”
The person she was referring to was, of course, Jonathan.
Cecelia could tell Shawn wasn’t happy after Jonathan had disrespected him just now.
“Let’s go!” Shawn’s face darkened as he ran forward immediately.
