Baz looked at a beaming Jasper dumbly.
His mind had yet to register what had just happened. He could not understand how Jasper, who was still silent a moment ago, had suddenly become a formidable person.
Meanwhile, Ulric, who was flaunting his power arrogantly, had suddenly become a pitiful mess and was brought away.
Taking in the situation before him, Baz recognized that Jasper was someone none of the people just now could afford to offend.
Baz had also acutely caught on to something Truman said.
The owner of Easy Media!
For Baz to meet someone of this caliber was like a civilian meeting the richest man alive.
It felt unreal.
“Why, why… do I feel like I’m watching Records of the King’s Travel Incognito?”
Jasper laughed out loud at Baz’s statement.
Baz made this point as that television series was what had kickstarted the country’s trend of acting weak to lower your opponent’s defenses before finally revealing how formidable you were in order to win.
Despite being a king, the man loved traveling incognito and only revealed his identity after meeting various oppressive or corrupted officials.
Jasper felt the analogy rather apt.
After calming down, Baz immediately realized
something.
In comparison to a formidable man like Jasper, he was nothing more than a pond loach in the mud.
‘Why is he looking for me?’
