“You think that he’s too powerful and I have no other choice but to surrender to him.”
Jasper had a playful smile on his face.
“It might seem like that, indeed.”
“But what I’m about to do might result in a very severe outcome, and I alone can’t affect the entire market.”
“If not him, I thought about asking the little prince instead. I just didn’t have an opportunity before.”
“But now that we have Lord Alvarado willing to join in, someone just as powerful as the little prince. It might seem like I’m surrendering to him, but aren’t we also using his strengths at the same time?”
Jasper patted Julian’s shoulder again and said intently, “Things are rarely as simple as they seem.”
“Think about it. Sometimes taking a step back and enduring it doesn’t mean I’ve surrendered and admitted defeat. Maybe I’m just leaving more room to run up so I can jump even higher heights.”
Julian fell into thought when he heard Jasper. After a long while, he suddenly realized something.
“I don’t understand these things, but if you say it’s good then it’s good.”
Jasper felt helpless.
…
Since Jasper’s and Lord Alvarado’s dinner, the situation in Tefa City had immediately changed drastically.
The Covington family continued to lose in every fight against JW, and they did not seem to have any ability to defend themselves.
Unlike what passer-by expected, the Covington family’s resistance was not effective, and no one even tried to help them.
The Covington family that once dominated and controlled Tefa City was now facing grave danger with no one to support them.
