Mr. Kain looked at Jasper darkly and roared, “What are you implying here?!”
“I’m sure you understand what I’m implying, Mr. Kain. As a manager, you’re supposed to be both the elder and shelter for your athletes.
“You should be doing everything you can to provide a safe training environment, but what are you doing now, procuring? Should I call you madam or a pimp?”
Jasper’s words had Jill suppressing her laughter amidst her shock.
However, she immediately realized how inappropriate it was and covered her mouth.
Mr. Kain did not have the mind to care about Jill’s reaction as he roared at Jasper in mortification.
“I don’t care who you are! You’re not welcome here, so get lost right now! Otherwise, I’ll call security to chase you out!”
“Chase me out?” Jasper chuckled and spoke to Mr. Kain calmly, “I’m sure many people will be interested in what I heard just now. Say, Secretary Lee of the Nauritus City Government, for example?”
Mr. Kain laughed out loud and pointed at Jasper is disdain, “Who do you think you are? As if someone as important as Secretary Lee will spare you the time of day.”
“Whether or not he spares me any time is for me to worry about. But are you willing to take that risk, Mr. Kain?”
Jasper’s words caused Mr. Kain’s expression to darken greatly.
His eyes flickered as he looked at Jasper. It seemed like he was weighing his options.
After all, Jasper’s appearance had been too sudden and strange, while Mr. Kain had no leads as to who Jasper was at all.
Should the man genuinely be acquainted with Secretary Lee, then everything he had said and done earlier was enough to keep him behind bars for at least a decade.
Mr. Kain hesitated.
“What do you want?” Mr. Kain demanded in a low voice.
“I already told you. Jill is my friend, and she’s also an athlete on the national team. Keep your disgusting hands to yourself,” Jasper spoke calmly.
Mr. Kain scoffed and refuted, “And here I was wondering what you’re going to do. In truth, you’re just here to play the knight in shining armor.
“Take a look at yourself before you start trying to win girls over, brat. I might be wary of you if you’re threatening me, but can you even protect Jill? You’ll only get yourself killed!
“Jill’s someone Mr. Byron Woolery from the Byron Group requested personally. Go fight him if you think you’re so capable!”
Mr. Kain looked at Jasper is disdain and spat impolitely.
Jasper arched a brow.
He had heard of the Byron Group, which were a large company in Nauritus City.
To be considered a group during such times spoke volumes of how strong this company was.
Unlike 20 years in the future, where conglomerates and groups could be seen everywhere. By then, anybody could gather a few shell companies to form a hollow group.
Jasper had also heard of Byron Woolery. Byron was one of Dawson’s main competitors for the title of richest man in the province before JW Capital was established.
However, Byron tended to be rather low-profile, and the man had a mysterious past. Not to mention that he was involved in the high-tech industry.
All this made him not an easy person to deal with.
