Life at The Top novel Chapter 524

Jasper replied calmly, “Old Master Law is very kind, he’s been watching out for me a lot.”

Gale nodded. “Let us get back to the topic. You should know that Ian Hull is my student and a member of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.”

Jasper gave a small smile. “This is the first time I’ve heard that he’s your student, but I do know that the both of you hold a close relationship. I knew about his identity as one of the business people from Haddock right at the start as well.”

“Yet you wish to fight to the death?” Gale’s eyebrow twitched as he asked.

Jasper looked at Gale, the older expressionless, and stood his ground. “He crossed my boundaries! He touched what he never should have!”

“The Hull family has to die!”

“If not the Hulls this time, then there would only be other families in the future.”

Gale replied calmly, “Young man, both of you made names for yourselves in youth. But Casey Charles had only come into power when he was in his middle-ages while you came into power the moment you made a name for yourself. There is too much hostility within you.”

Jasper shook his head. “I wouldn’t say that I’m a hostile person, but it does depend on the situation. Are you perhaps planning to take justice for your student, Old Master Hurlbutt?”

At that, Gale looked at Jasper intently but did not reply right away.

The early winter air was slightly chilly as it swirled through the small lake pavilion. The sound of running water and fishes swimming drifted over from a distance not too far away, breaking the silence between them. The scenery around them was splendid but the atmosphere in the pavilion was far from relaxed.

It was as if the relationship between Jasper and Gale, or rather Jasper and the entire Haddock Chamber of Commerce, was to be confirmed in this short span of silence.

“I am not.”

After a long while, Gale shook his head. There was a tint of disappointment in his calm expressions when he continued to speak, “I do not like Ian’s sinister and cruel methods. Much of the way he does business is against the rules of Haddock’s Chamber of Commerce.”
