“The Law family is still in Swallow Capital. Besides, an intense struggle is taking place between Harbor City’s business groups and local companies. We must not get involved.
“Not only should we not get involved, but we should get out of Swallow Capital as quickly as possible because Zachary Law might come after us. That old dude was rich and famous 20 years ago, but his son isn’t even half as accomplished as him.”
Ian’s eyes glinted sinisterly as he continued saying, “We’ll return to Waterhoof City for now. The Law family can’t do anything to us while we’re there because it’s in the Mainland and not Harbor City, where they hold immense power.
“There are plenty of ways to deal with Jasper Laine. We won’t attack him directly for now. However, Benny previously tried to get the one named Wendy Schuler to date him. I’ve run a background check on her too. We know everything about her.
“Wendy has already left Swallow City, but Jasper is still there. We can take advantage of this opportunity to go after Wendy!”
Norman’s eyes brightened as he listened to Ian speak. He thought it was a good idea.
“One more thing. What’s Wendy’s background?” Norman asked carefully.
Ian smiled as he said, “She’s the daughter of the richest man of a province. Her father is Dawson Schuler. We would normally never dare to provoke someone of such a powerful background, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Anyway, we’re not afraid of him!
“Moreover, we’ll use some tricks from the dark side. How would he find out if he weren’t already paying attention?”
…
In InterContinental Hotel’s Imperial Ballroom, the banquet’s atmosphere regained some of its warmth after Ian and company left.
The two old men were still reminiscing about their sufferings in the past while Zachary spoke to Henry and Anna. Brad and Erik were also whispering to each other.
The party seemed lively, but everyone was only talking to those who were in their inner circle.
Except for the two old men, both Zachary and Brad seemed to think there was nothing to say to the other party.
As for Jasper, he ignored both parties and focused his attention on servicing the two old men.
He had brought along two bottles of aged 30-year-old brandy with him tonight. It was good alcohol and not the kind that anyone could get their hands on.
However, they were nothing to both Old Master Law and Old Master Turner.
