Chapter 435 What An Infuriating Taunt
When the atmosphere on both sides was getting even more awkward, Alex took the initiative to speak up.
His words were as sarcastic as ever, "Who has the time to enjoy the scenery here? I'm not like Mr. Hill who is so free and has so much leisure time."
Jason's expression was faint, and he replied, "Isn't Mr. Alex having more leisure time to play around? After all, you arrived earlier than me."
Alex snorted with a cold face, "It's true that I arrived a little earlier than you, but I'm not here to enjoy the scenery. After all, not everyone is as leisurely as Mr. Hill who can ignore the person you love and slowly take your time to do nothing."
Both of them talked with heavy sarcasm. There weren't any sword or gun fights happening at the scene, but the atmosphere was full of dangerous signs.
The assistants and bodyguards around them were as quiet as a mouse and consciously remained silent.
After listening to his words, Jason wasn't annoyed at all and continued to say, "Mr. Alex is indeed too slow! I already arrived here two days earlier. As I was busy investigating something else, I had no choice but to postpone my trip to the island.
Moreover, whether I ignore the person I love or not, it's fine as long as the person I love knows what is happening between As ar outsider, I don't think that Mr. Alex is suitable to make any comments toward my personal matter, right?"
Alex's expression stiffened and his eyes were darkened.
Jason was calm.
Vincent looked at Alex, as he was afraid that Alex would get angry and rush to punch Jason.
Eaton was also wondering: Will there be a fight going on later?
He... was inexplicably looking forward to it. What's going on?
Last time, he and Vincent hadn't decided who was the winner yet!
Vincent felt Eaton's gaze and he raised his eyebrows. He was not afraid at all.
However, the fight didn't happen after all.
Alex's face was being cold for a while, and he said, "Outsiders? Not necessarily. I heard that Mr. Hill was going to propose last time... and was rejected? It seems that your position in your relationship isn't as stable as I imagined."
Jason smiled and replied with heavy sarcasm, "Is the greatest pleasure in Mr. Alex's life self-deception?
To tell you the truth, my wife sends me dozens of messages every day to coax me and make me happy. When I'm not satisfied with it, she even said that she would send 520 messages, or maybe even 1314 messages to me!
Does Mr. Alex know the meaning of 520 and 1314? I can ask my assistant to explain it to you if you need it!"
Eaton quickly explained, "Mr. Alex, 520 means I love you, while 1314 means eternity."
Alex's face instantly turned bad. The way he stared at Eaton was like he was going to murder him.
He knew what the meaning behind those numbers was. Did he ever ask for an explanation?
"What an infuriating taunt!"
Vincent sighed in his heart.
Compared to Mr. Hill, Mr. Alex was bad at trash-talking!
Mr. Alex already had a terrible relationship with his loved one in advance, why was he still so provocative?
Well, now he was hurt by Mr. Hill's lovey-dovey stories with his wife!
He couldn't explain it... Why was he felt a little pitiful and miserable for Mr. Alex?
Eaton felt the same way and thought that Mr. Alex was a little pitiful!
Mr. Hill was indeed really cruel!
He was being merciless to anyone!
So... was there a fight going on or not?
Obviously, Jason didn't mean to fight.
After insulting Alex, he withdrew his gaze at Alex and walked aside!
Seeing this, Alex also turned his head and looked at the sea with a cold face.
The sea breeze at night was strong, and due to the nightfall, the air was full of coldness and humidity.
Eaton was very discerning. He went into the cabin and took a table and a few chairs. He also took out the coffee tray and boiling water.
After preparing a cup of hot coffee, he brought it to Jason.
Jason took a sip and was warm all over.
Eaton poured himself a cup and didn't forget to invite the bodyguard to come over and drink with him.
After that, he shouted at Vincent, "Mr. Vincent, come and have some coffee!"
Vincent paused for a moment. He then came over, poured a cup of coffee, and gave it to Alex.
"Mr. Alex, please have a cup of hot coffee to warm up."
Alex glanced at the cup of coffee and thought that Jason's people prepared it. He was acting arrogant and didn't want to take it.
At the same time, he also glanced at Vincent, as if to say: How thirsty are you to take their things?
Seeing this, Vincent raised his voice calmly and advised, "Your body can't take any cold. This was what Ms. Rogers told me!"
As soon he said this, Eaton and the bodyguards on the other side looked over one after another.
Was that another provocation?
Because of this, Jason's eyes were also getting colder, and he looked up straight toward Alex.
Hearing this, Alex inexplicably felt good.
Looking at Jason's dangerous gaze as if he wanted to murder someone, he suddenly became happy. Regardless of where the cup of coffee came from, he took it and drank it.
Vincent breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was too difficult for him. While helping Mr. Alex with the provocation, he still worried about his health!
When he returned to his seat, Eaton personally poured him a cup of coffee.
Vincent raised his eyes and met Eaton's eyes. Both felt sorry for each other...
Both of them were assistants. It was not easy at all. They had to do things exquisitely and had the insight. They didn't even know whether their bosses would give them a raise in their salary at the end of the year!
If possible, they hoped for a triple salary.
This group of people slowly went to the island in a subtly strange and awkward atmosphere.
Aletta had fallen asleep for a long time at the moment.
She had a series of physical examinations in the afternoon. When she came back, she was too tired that she quickly lay down o her bed and rested.
When she woke up the next day and went downstairs, she saw that Lewis was just coming back with a tired face. Aletta knew that he stayed there last night and studied the data obtained with the others. He was staying up all night. She quickly poured him a glass of milk and asked him, "Lewis, how was the result of my physical examination last night?" Lewis took the milk. After having a mouthful of milk, he put down the cup and replied, "There is a minor change in the data, but it is not that obvious, indicating that the improved version of the inhibitor has actually worked."
Gladly, it wasn't a piece of bad news.
Aletta breathed a sigh of relief.
Gene, who was beside him, said, "There is another good news. The research and development of the antidote is smoother than we expected. I feel that it won't take long to obtain the final product!"
"Really?"
Aletta couldn't help but be happy when she heard the news.
In this way, she could go back to see Jason earlier than she thought!
Kirk also nodded and stretched her arm, "If we had known it was so easy, we should have come to the president earlier. Maybe we could solve the problem even earlier!"
After listening to this, Lewis shook his head and replied, "Even if we come early, it is still useless. The president also just confirmed with us a few days ago that the X-1 was developed by him in the past. What we can say is that we are kind of lucky because we come just in time."
"So that's it."
Kirk nodded and agreed.
While they were talking, President Thomson came.
After they saw him, everyone immediately greeted him.
"Morning, president!"
"President Thomson came so early today. Have you eaten yet?"
"Would you like to have some breakfast together with us?"

President Thomson waved his hand and replied, "You guys eat. I've already taken my breakfast. I'm here to announce
something."
With that, he looked at Aletta and said, "Aletta, if possible, it will be better for you to stay at the Medical League for these few days and don't go anywhere else."
Aletta didn't understand the reason behind it. Lewis was also stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
President Thomson frowned and explained, "In these few days, the people of the Medical League have noticed that there is a trace of the Hunters in the area near the harbor outside the island. Some more, someone I know is also there,
For the time being, we still couldn't figure out what is their purpose, so I hope that you don't go out and get involved in any danger! We will talk about what's next after I find out what is happening!"
