“Don’t you know, Mr. Laine? There’s a saying, the North has the Browns and the South has the little prince. These two are extremely formidable leaders of the younger generation.”
“This Waterhoof City little prince is the heir to the Royal family. They’re an extremely powerful presence here in Waterhoof City. They’ve been here since the Republic and their roots run deep. They’re not people small fries like us can compare to.”
“We all call him Little Prince in private. The old master to his family is officially recognized as the supreme emperor.”
Jasper’s gaze changed as he listened to Gerry.
‘A prince and a supreme emperor. What kind of feudal game is this?’
Despite how unbelievable it all sounded, Jasper could tell that Gerry was speaking the truth from his mannerism.
Even if Gerry wanted to lie to him, he would not be stupid enough to make up a whole family on the spot.
“Go ahead and tell me what happened,” Jasper said.
Gerry began, “This morning, I decided to gather a few people to cause trouble at Norman’s company. I also contacted a few of Norman’s old clients to ask them to kick up a fuss.”
“But my men had just gone out when they immediately came back completely injured.”
“Then someone called me and warned me not to interfere with the Gardner family. They told me that the little prince had already intervened.”
“I made my way over immediately after this.”
“Mr. Laine, ninety-five percent of the people in Waterhoof of City don’t know who the little prince is. But the remaining five percent that do definitely don’t have the guts to try to falsify his identity. Hence, the person on the phone mostly likely spoke the truth.”
“Mr. Laine, you can put a knife to my neck and I still won’t do it. I suggest you let it go as well. The Gardner family doesn’t mean anything to you anymore, and they’re not worth offending the little prince over.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes after listening to Gerry, then waved his hand. “Alright, I’ve got it. Go back”
After Gerry left, Jasper pulled Henry over while the man was having fun playing games.
