Life at The Top novel Chapter 933

“You let them off easy, Dad.”

In the ward, Henry thought it was a pity.

It was the perfect opportunity to take down both Lancaster father and son, yet Zachary had chosen to let them off just like that?

Although they did get some benefits, Henry did not care about those benefits at all. The Laws were a big family that owned major industries. They received plenty of benefits that losing a few was not enough to starve them to death.

In Henry’s opinion, he could give up on this bit of benefit and use this opportunity to trample the Lancaster father and son to the ground.

“Know when to stop. Some things are not that simple. Do you really think Bob is that easy to deal with?”

Zachary replied, though it was clear that he had no plans of making further explanations about this as it involved the power struggle of the upper class in Harbor City. It was too complicated.

Jasper, however, took the hint and said with a smile, “When two giants fight, it’ll be difficult to bring each other down unless it involves life and death.

“The giants will not start a war so easily because of their sizes as the impact will be too great and the consequences too heavy. Hence, most of the time, both parties will take turns in suffering losses and sharing benefits.

“In the long run, after a few more wins and as one rises and another one falls, the gap between the giants will be pulled apart. When that happens, you’ll get to decide what you want to do with the other party.”

Zachary nodded and said, “Yup, that’s how it is. It’s similar to two countries engaging in a conflict. Almost all of them fight with words.

“It is extremely rare to see fights that involve weapons and firearms. After all, there are simply too many factors to consider—the country’s power, the other party’s strength, and the covetous eyes of neighboring countries. Who knows, many people would start fanning the flames, sit around, and watch the fight. When both sides are exhausted, they’ll come to reap the spoils.”

Henry was even more confused as he listened to their conversation. He waved his hands in irritation and said, “I don’t understand. Whatever it is, was I injured this time for nothing?”
