“He’s called Jasper Laine. Why don’t you go back to Faith County and find out who screwed Hugh Lewis over? That’s why merely for you, it’s still a little too soon. ”
Samuel heard this and felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Jasper Laine… He had heard of this name.
Faith County’s most famous stock god of the year. He heard that Jasper had even clashed with Hugh Lewis back then.
However, who the hell was Jasper Laine? He had never met him before.
That was because Jasper had already set off for the province when he returned from somewhere else. Later on, Jasper had been in Harbor City and Swallow Capital for some time before only returning recently.
There were rumors that Hugh had been taken down by Jasper, but Samuel only turned his nose at it.
He had fought Hugh for so many years when he was at Faith County and never once won.
Yet, some guy who had crawled out of God knew where could?
The truth was right in front of his eyes now, however, and Samuel had no choice but to believe it.
Immense shock and fear shrouded him. When Samuel raised his head to look at Jasper again, there was no longer the overweening attitude from half a minute ago.
“Mister… Mr. Laine, I… I didn’t know you were…”
Samuel was even fumbling over his words.
He really could not muster up the courage to offend the person who could easily bring down Hugh Lewis.
“It doesn’t matter who I am.”
Jasper glanced at Samuel and said faintly, “I had no interest in you, yet you were the one who kept looking for me for trouble.”
Samuel was almost in tears. He stooped down, apologized to Jasper with all his might, and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Laine. I was truly blinded by anger just now. I didn’t expect you to be Kai’s patron. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to trouble you even if I were given three shots of liquid courage.”
