Anna managed to pull Henry out of his
blind rage and help him regain some of
his sanity.
Teeth gritted, Henry turned to the men
beside him and said, “Everyone, you’ve
heard just what happened. Perhaps some o
f you here have no idea who Wendy
Schuler is, but if you go home and ask
your dads, you’ll know that she’s a
woman who must be kept safe at all costs!
“So, contact everyone you know, and poke
your nose in as many places as you can.
You have to find her even if it means
turning all of Harbor City upside down!”
The young men exchanged glances before
saying in unison, “Don’t worry, Mr. Law.
We will give it our all.”
Everyone had areas where they excelled..
These young men would be fumbling
blindly in the dark if you told them to
finalize business deals and draft contracts.
However, everyone was put on earth for a
purpose. In terms of merrymaking and
using unscrupulous methods, these young
men would be unstoppable if they decided
to put their powers together.
Thus, when Henry told his friends to take action, it was like casting a wide net out into the open sea.
For now, they had no idea of its efficacy, but they knew that the news spread at and alarmingly fast rate.
The gangs in Harbor City that had since faded from the spotlight and made the switch to more respectable professions began receiving news that a major figure i n Harbor City was in search of someone.
“Why, Mr. Laine, is there a phone call
you’re afraid to answer?” Mr. McNeal laughed when he saw the
troubled expression on Jasper’s face.
Jasper chuckled bitterly and said to Mr. McNeal, “It’s a rather important call. Please give me a minute, Mr. McNeal. I’ll take care of this quickly.”
No matter what, he had to talk to Anna if she was calling. However, Jasper could not just give Mr. McNeal the cold shoulder, which is why he immediately explained.
Mr. McNeal was an understanding person, and he waved a hand dismissively as he said, “Take all the time you need.”
Jasper pressed the answer button. He had already come up with a defense plan for Anna’s incoming attacks. He would first tell her a bunch of nonsense and then escape by using Mr. McNeal’s presence as an excuse.
However, the smile vanished from Jasper’s face as he listened to what Anna said.
More than ten seconds passed, and Jasper had not said anything yet. However, the tips of his fingers began turning white as hi e tightened his grip on his phone.
Mr. McNeal was a smart man who had good observational skills.
Although he had not been taking detailed notes on Jasper, he could still tell that the person on the other end of the line had brought bad news when he saw Jasper. showing such intense and abnormal reactions.
However, Mr. McNeal had no idea what had happened until Jasper hung up the phone.
Soon, Jasper spoke.
“Please help me do two things.”
