Chapter 21 Get Out
What? The head of the Blackwood family has upset Asura?
The moment he heard Jonathan’s reply, Harrison’s expression darkened. “Mr. Goldstein, how dare he!”
Does he know who Jonathan is? He is Asura, for goodness sake. Even Zachary, the King of War of Jazona, has to kneel in front of Jonathan, let alone the lowly head of the Blackwood family. Does he have a death wish by getting on Jonathan’s nerves?
“Actually, he didn’t upset me. Instead, he made my wife angry,” Jonathan casually explained. Given that he didn’t even know who the head of the Blackwood family was, his toes weren’t the ones to be trodden upon.
Nevertheless, an insult to Josephine was still an insult to him.
“Wife? Sir, since when did you get married?” Harrison was confused.
He realized that other than having seen Jonathan before, he knew nothing else about him.
“My wife is a member of the Smith family, and they are at odds with the Blackwood family. Did you know that?” Jonathan plainly asked.
“The Smith family?”
Harrison pondered a moment. “Is the Smith family you mentioned the same one that had been cheated one billion in a contract by the Blackwood family?”
“Cheated one billion?” Jonathan’s eyebrows furrowed intensely. He only knew the Blackwood family had offended the Smith family. However, he wasn’t aware that something like that had occurred.
“Mr. Goldstein, you didn’t know?” Harrison gave Jonathan a look of surprise. “Prior to this, the Blackwood family had developed an ecological park where half of it was located on the Smith family’s land. Initially, the plan was for the Blackwood family to acquire it for a few hundred million. I’m sure you’re aware that if the Blackwood family didn’t develop it, the land would be worthless to the Smith family. In fact, they couldn’t even sell it for a hundred million.
“After that, they somehow got wind that the Blackwood family was planning to develop the land into an ecological park. Therefore, they got greedy and increased the selling price to one billion.
“In the end, the head of the Blackwood family set up a trap in anger. Not only did they take over the vast piece of land, the Smith family even ended up owing them one billion instead.”
The enmity between the Smith family and the Blackwood family had become a joke throughout Jadeborough.
Whoever offended the Blackwood family in Jadeborough was courting their own doom.
Rumor had it that the head of the Smith family almost died of a heart attack when he realized they had fallen into a trap. When Harrison first heard it, he simply saw it as a joke. But now that he knew Jonathan’s wife was a member of the Smith family, his expression drastically changed. “Sir, why don’t you leave this matter to me?”
“No, I’ll deal with it myself.” Jonathan waved his hand. Before Harrison could say another word, he was swarmed by his associates at the banquet.
“Mr. Seymour!”
“Mr. Seymour!”
Given that Harrison was the most powerful man in Jadeborough, all of high society greeted him respectfully.
After all, no one dared to disrespect him in his own territory.
