Jasper frowned and then he said slowly, “Uncle Law, I caused this so I should take care of it since it’s my unshirkable responsibility. However, I am worried that if the Atticus family has some other motives, this might be very tricky.”
Indeed, if the Atticus family went mad and decided to start a family war that would mess up the entirety of Harbor city, then it whatever Jasper said would be meaningless.
Zachary smiled when he heard that. He said, “You don’t have to worry too much about this. You just have to do it. The Laws won’t be afraid even if the Atticus family wants to go there.”
“We still don’t know who the victor will be…”
“Most importantly, you shouldn’t forget.”
Zachary smiled at Jasper and continued, “The old master is still here.”
Jasper sighed in relief. He was indeed envious of the Laws for having an elder in the family. The old master was like a treasure to them.
Moreover, with the increased interaction between Harbor City and the mainland, Old Master Law, who the big shots in Swallow Capital regarded as having given outstanding service to the country during the Handover, would only gradually attain a higher position.
Indeed, with the old master around, the Laws were as safe as houses.
The Atticus family knew about this as well.
“Okay, I’ll take action now,” Jasper said after getting up.
“Wait, you already know what to do?” Phil asked in astonishment.
As he said that, Phil laughed and said profoundly, “Young man, it’s very complicated right now.”
“First of all, we tried to go over to see those rascals, but we couldn’t. So it’ll be meaningless if you go over as well. Or perhaps, do you intend to head to the Atticus family to personally see Sawyer?”
Jasper shook his head and said, “It’s meaningless to meet Sawyer. Aside from him refusing to see a nobody like me, even if he did see me, what would he tell me? I’m guessing that if he wants to say something, he’d say it to all of you.”
“Then what else do you have in mind?”
