Who was Gerry Heron?
There were all sorts of hidden talents here in Waterhoof City.
If you looked up, you would see top-notch aristocrats, and the Royal family, in the mainlands.
Looking down would find you countless bigshots with a long-standing line of ancestors. Some older and larger families even had a history in Waterhoof City dating back to the Republic.
Gerry was well aware of where he stood.
He had started up his business in the entertainment industry in the early days with violence, so his business was very much in the gray area. Despite this, he was pretty much set for life.
However, he did not have much of a family to support him in Waterhoof City.
Any business working in the main buildings of Waterhoof City’s three CBDs could easily destroy him.
Thus, he would need to find support from someone else.
“Mr., Mr. Laine. The Gardner family may not seem much to you, nor are they some formidable family here in Waterhoof City, but they are much stronger than me. I’m not strong enough to deal with them,” Gerry said sorrowfully.
Jasper gave the man a small smile and replied, “Don’t worry. I wouldn’t ask you to do it if I knew it was a suicide mission.”
“Now that the Waterhoof City branch has been dissolved, there are still many business people from Haddock here in Waterhoof City. Who do you think they’ll look for first?”
“Same goes for the other people in Haddock’s Chamber of Commerce. Who do you think they’ll look for now that they’ve been made a fool of and Norman’s signed the papers?”
Gerry’s gaze flickered about when he heard Jasper speak. The man’s words made sense.
Jasper chuckled and continued gently, “So, Norman’s going to be in a lot of trouble for the time being, and what I need you to do is rock the boat for me.”
