Life at The Top novel Chapter 1912

Jasper was not worried that he would not

find Wendy.

Just as he said, Harbor City was small, but

7.5 million people were packed into such a

tiny place.

Hence, in Harbor City, so long as there

was enough money and enough

manpower, it would be impossible for him

to not find any clues unless Wendy

disappeared from this world.

With the resources and abilities that

Jasper currently had, he could find those

bold kidnappers in the shortest time as

long as there was even the slightest clue.

What he was worried about now was that

Wendy might encounter some unexpected

events.

Mr. McNeal’s analysis was very

reasonable, and Jasper figured that these

kidnappers must have kidnapped Wendy

because of him and would not do anything

to Wendy. After all, she still had to remain

in their hands to act as a bargaining chip to threaten him.

However, it was better to be safe than

sorry.

Harbor City was notoriously chaotic ten years back. There was a thief of the century who covered himself with bombs and swaggered over to abduct Half-the Harbor Langdon’s son. Then, he swaggered to Half-the-Harbor Langdon t o ask for ‘pocket money’. It was hard to say whether another equally mentally-ill person was at work here.

If that was the case, it would not help even if Jasper sliced that person into pieces afterward if something really happened to Wendy.

Mr. McNeal looked at Jasper seriously for a while and seemed to be assured that Jasper was not affected by the sudden blow. Therefore, Mr. McNeal was also slightly relieved.

“I will inform Swallow Capital of this matter as soon as possible. If necessary, w e can deploy the special power of Harbor City directly.”

Mr. McNeal said through gritted teeth.

Right now, Jasper’s importance was self

evident.

Neither Swallow Capital nor he wanted to

see any accidents surrounding Jasper.

Thus, if the situation was urgent, he

would persuade Swallow Capital to

directly use the armed forces.

“No.”

Unexpectedly, Jasper refused.

As Mr. McNeal looked at him with

stunned eyes, Jasper said, “Our domestic

situation has attracted the attention of

most countries around the world,

especially the United States. The reason

why the United States government is not

involving themselves and only used Wall

Street capital to cause trouble is that

they’re not yet able to bring things up to

the national level.

“And Harbor City is an extremely special

place, Harbor City citizens

govern Harbor

City, which is a rule set by great men.

Harbor City is not a city on the mainland.

Once Swallow Capital uses its power in

Harbor City, it will instantly arouse international public opinion and an uproar. Most importantly, this is tantamount to giving the United States government an excellent excuse.”

When Jasper said this, he continued through gritted teeth, “I will keep this matter under control and solve it through civilian means. I asked for help from the Harbor City government because she went missing in Harbor City. It’s normal if the Harbor City government uses the police or other nation’s mob ruled department to investigate, so no one can say anything about that. However, it will be different if Swallow Capital intervenes, so let me solve it myself.

“If I can’t protect my woman after leading JW to this point and still need help from Swallow Capital, I might as well just quit.”

After Jasper’s words, Mr. McNeal looked a t Jasper deeply. For a long time, he did not say anything. Instead, he patted Jasper on the shoulder heavily.

He had been in the official career for his whole life. Now, 99.99% of ordinary folks

from Somerland could only look up to him but never get to his status in their entire lifetime. Yet, he was educated by Jasper on this sort of thing.

This made Mr. McNeal a little bit emotional, but at the same time, he felt more grateful.

“Pay close attention to it and don’t take the initiative to intervene. However, going overboard will never be tolerated.”
