After getting badly humiliated by Henry in ICBS’ meeting room, the first thing Prince did when he returned was to search up the man’s identity and familial background.
Prince felt even more despondent once he found what he was looking for.
Henry’s identity and status were no weaker than his. Prince did temporarily entertain the thought of getting rid of Henry through darker and illegal means.
Prince might be impulsive and arrogant, but he was not stupid. After weighing the consequences, the man finally decided to give up on that option.
Prince’s plan would end up affecting too many
powerful people. To the point where Prince was unwilling to bear the responsibilities of angering them.
At this moment, Conrad sought him out.
Prince did not know who Conrad was in the beginning. It had taken a call from Fabian for this meeting between Prince and Conrad to occur.
Conrad gave a small smile when he heard Prince and replied, “How difficult can it be to get rid of Henry?”
Prince arched a brow and asked, “You have a plan?”
Conrad smiled and replied, “You must know, Crown Prince, that Henry is much easier to deal with than Jasper. If you were to compare Jasper to a crafty jackal, then Henry is just a stray dog at most. When it comes to stray dogs, all you need to do is slightly irk it and it’ll fall into the trap you set.”
Prince narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Conrad raised his cup to take a sip before he continued by himself, “Mr. Atticus has already contacted a large number of Jasper’s enemies. The setup is almost complete, and Jasper will die when we eventually harvest.”
Prince scoffed and said, “They say that Fabian’s the one with the best schemes among Harbor City’s youths. But now that I look at it, he’s not anything extraordinary, after all. Is it necessary for all of you to prepare so much just to get rid of Jasper?”
“Necessary or not, I’m sure you’ve learned your lesson. Right, Your Highness?”
