Both Drogo and Mr. Heron were stunned when they heard him.
Even Vita was shocked.
He did not expect Jasper to speak up.
The only one unsurprised was John.
After all, John had known Jasper for a long time and he knew that Jasper was a man who did not like being disrespected, nor did he like the people around him getting disrespected.
If he spoke up and interfered with this tonight, it at least meant that he saw Vita as a great friend.
Vita could understand this as well, so after the initial shock, he felt was touched.
“Yo, which moron is it this time?”
Mr. Heron turned around and looked at Jasper icily. Drogo’s expression was one of complete annoyance now.
He already planned to offend Vita, so who cared about the young man beside him?
“Enough. Are you done yet?”
Drogo shouted at Jasper, “I’m the owner here. I already said I’ll send you the same dish later! Don’t take advantage of my kindness!”
If Drogo was conflicted before he made his decision and guilty after deciding, then he was completely annoyed now as he faced Jasper.
He thought that Jasper could not read the room.
“Can you stop causing trouble? Do you want all of us to turn against each other and become enemies? Is that what you want? ”
Mr. Heron was elated when he heard Drogo and snickered icily. He was in no rush to join in just yet; “It’s just one dish. I don’t care whether I get to eat it or not.”
Jasper said, then he looked at the table full of dishes and exotic food before continuing calmly, “I also don’t care whether this table of food is free or not.
“But if we ordered something and you don’t send it over, then of course I’ll ask you about it.”
Drogo scoffed and replied darkly, “Don’t think too highly of yourself, young man. You’re just a youth, what right do you have to talk here?
“Ask me about it? It’s not like I’m looking down at you or anything, but if I’m not even going to entertain Vita, then why would I entertain you?”
Jasper looked at Drogo intently but ignored him.
Drogo was enraged. He felt furious to be ignored by Jasper, the supposed weakest person present.
Jasper’s gaze had fallen on Mr. Heron instead.
“Heron’s not an extremely common nor extremely rare surname, but there aren’t many in this small land of Waterhoof City that can be considered powerful. Who is Gerry Heron to you?”
Jasper’s words caused Mr. Heron’s expression to change immediately.
Beside him, Drogo was also stunned.
He was terrified of Mr. Heron because his father was Gerry.
A renowned old thug in Waterhoof City.
To be honest, Gerry was a lowly person.
Ever since the Strike Hard Against Crime Campaign, Waterhoof City’s gangsters had diluted, while Gerry, a boss from the days before the campaign, had also successfully changed industries and started doing legitimate business. Nevertheless, the man had quite the reputation within Waterhoof City’s underground.
Therefore, no one dared to offend young Mr. Heron. After all, his father Gerry was a cruel man that could not be reasoned with.
When Mr. Heron threatened to demolish his shop tonight, Drogo had not doubted him.
However, when he saw this so called Mr. Laine call out Gerry’s name so easily, Drogo felt uneasy.
“Who the f*ck are you?! How dare you refer to my dad by his name?”
Mr. Heron did not think too much into it and pointed at Jasper’s nose while scolding.
“What’s wrong? Isn’t the point of your dad’s name is so he can be referred by it?” Jasper asked calmly.
He had already dialed Gerry’s number while talking.
He did not want to waste time over brainless trust-fund children like young Mr. Heron.
Jasper put his phone on speaker and out came Gerry’s utterly courteous and surprised voice.
“Mr. Laine? Why’d a busy man like you spare the time to call me? Is there something I can help with? Just say the word, I’d gladly go to extreme lengths to get it done for you!”
Ever since the incident with the little prince, Jasper’s status in Gerry’s eyes was that of a god’s.
He would do anything just be on Jasper’s side, but the man had never given him any chances to do so. Therefore, he was elated to receive Jasper’s call today.
