Jasper was severely injured and in shock. When he entered the hospital, he was already unconscious.
The entire Southeast Province was in an uproar when news spread to them.
Wendy received a call from Julian in the middle of the night, and she was too shocked by the news to even speak.
Dawson was the calmest and immediately contacted Henry who was also in Nauritus City.
Henry flipped a table at the news.
That night, Henry called for his private plane to fly over from Harbor City. The plane landed in Nauritus City only to fly toward Reed City within ten minutes of landing after Henry and Wendy boarded.
In the shortest amount of time, the situation had progressed at the most terrifying speed.
Its influence involved multiple circles and many people were losing sleep over the knowledge.
The first to know of the news was the chief of the government of Reed City.
After getting woken up by Mr. Powers’ phone call in the middle of the night, the composed and sturdy man dropped his cup when he heard of the news in his study.
After exclaiming how ignorant of the law those people were for three consecutive times, Mr. Powers stood in the study frightfully while drenched in sweat.
“The situation is very complicated now, Chief. Everyone in Reed City has their eyes on what’s happening and I heard that Jasper’s family is making their way over tonight. At the same time, tomorrow is Marcus’ deadline to pay up the money. What do we do now?”
While terrified, Mr. Powers braved through as he asked for guidance.
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man asked grimly, “How’s Jasper doing now?”
“The hospital said it’s a hypovolemic shock, and they’re doing everything they can to keep him alive,” Mr. Powers replied.
“A hypovolemic shock… That’s not exactly a small matter.” The middle-aged man quickly calmed down from his anger and began to analyze the pros and cons of the incident.
