Soon, a middle-aged man’s deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
“The old man knows you’ve settled things over Harbor City, and he just finished his research in Southeast Province, so he wants to meet you.”
Jasper placed his hand on his forehead and said, “I just came back the day before yesterday and you all want to see me. I wish I could have a clone of myself.”
Mr. McNeal said with a smile, “Okay, don’t be so flippant, you must know that not everyone can see the old man. It‘s rare for him to value you so much. He has two hours of free time later.”
Jasper knew that the old man’s time was very precious. He almost always arranged his schedule by the minute and second, so Jasper naturally did not dare to not take it seriously.
“Okay, please send the specific time to my mobile phone and I will go there ahead of time.”
After hanging up his call with Mr. McNeal, Jasper opened the door again and returned to the hall. As he looked at everyone, he continued the conversation just now. Actually, the reason why I told you about this is just to remind you. I don’t need you to do anything.”
“On the contrary, you don’t have to do anything, and you can just watch quietly.”
The little prince looked at him with some doubts when he heard that. “Jasper, I don’t understand. You know that someone is secretly targeting you, but why are you still indifferent?”
The corner of Jasper’s mouth raised into a meaningful smile, “Because we are likely to catch a big fish this time, so what’s the hurry? Would it be easier to catch them all at one go if we wait for them to come out of hiding themselves?”
“Haha, as expected of Jasper!”
Everyone began to praise his strategies and methods, but obviously, everyone was not a fool. They knew that the risk would also increase, but they remembered that the current Jasper in Somerland was no longer the unknown person from before, so if anyone really wanted to take action against him, they would also need to weigh their abilities.
Finally, Lord Alvarado suggested again, “Okay, I know you must already have a strategy to deal with this, so I won’t worry about you.”
“Let’s talk about something happy. We booked a room at the Silver Seat Nightclub tonight. Do you want to go and have a good time with us?”
“No, if Wendy found out about this, she’d kill me with a kitchen knife.” Jasper smiled and shook his head.
