In the same traditional-looking manor in Suesville.
After receiving Ian here as a guest a few days ago, Jasper appeared as well.
Jasper had always thought that Law Manor was huge, but it paled in comparison to Gale’s manor. There were five entrances and exits each, and a courtyard that occupied hectares of land.
It was evident that Gale had put a lot of his wealth into this residence.
Arriving at the entrance of the courtyard, Jasper found servants already waiting for him there.
After clarifying Jasper’s identity, the servant then ushered Jasper into the manor that had hundreds of years of history.
After seven to eight minutes of walking and passing two artificial hills, an artificial lake, and two lake pavilions, Jasper arrived at the inner courtyard.
Between beautifully decorated buildings was another lake pavilion, one that Jasper found Gale sitting in.
Though his head was full of white hair, he was a strong man.
Gale was reading when Jasper walked over.
Glancing at the cover, Jasper realized that it was a thread-bound ancient book, a rare ‘History of the North and South’.
Jasper walked into the lake pavilion, and Gale shut the book before turning to smile at Jasper. “You’re here.”
Despite not knowing whether Gale was a friend or a foe, Jasper still held enough respect for the Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s spiritual leader. He nodded and replied, “Yes, I have.”
Gale hummed and looked down to read his book again. He merely pointed at the seat opposite him and spoke, “Take a seat.”
Jasper sat before Gale as ushered, and there was a small round stone table between the two.
