When smart people talked, even though they were just communicating through the air, they would be able to understand each other.
The crippled Brown said Jasper and him should have a long chat when Jasper went to Swallow Capital. He meant that if Jasper was busy, they would not need to chat anymore.
Meanwhile, Jasper answered that he would go over when he had time, which meant he already understood what the crippled Brown was implying. Thus, he did not have any plans to go to Swallow Capital for the time being.
“I can’t stand that guy.” Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly and he grabbed his phone to call Lord Alvarado. “What did he say?”
Lord Alvarado picked up the phone very quickly.
“I’m wondering if you know the crippled Brown,” Jasper asked straightforwardly.
It was unknown what Lord Alvarado was doing at the other end of the phone, but it was obvious that he was interested. He paused and seemed to have moved to somewhere more convenient to talk Then, he continued, “Did you talk to him?”
“Not really. There was a middleman, which I found quite interesting.”
Lord Alvarado huffed and said, “This is exactly like him. He’s great at making something unnecessarily complicated.
“I think you should dismiss the thought of getting him involved in this.”
“Why do you say that?” Jasper asked.
“Hehe…”
Lord Alvarado chuckled and said, “You have no idea, right? This is related to the three families.”
“My family has been in business for generations. Before the founding of Somerland, my family was the largest landlord in the south.”
“The little prince‘s family has links with both business and government, but in the past two decades, the higher-ups have become increasingly strict such that businessmen are no longer allowed to interfere in the system. This sentence was almost written in the clauses of the law.”
