Julian asked as he drove.
He knew Jasper had been working on anything major these days, so he would not leave Nauritus City if it was not anything urgent.
Yet, he was suddenly asking to go to the airport to fly to Harbor City in the middle of the night. Something astronomical must have happened.
Judging from Jasper’s expression, Julian, who had been his partner for a very long time realized this matter was not as simple as he initially thought.
“Something bad happened…”
Jasper let out a sigh and said while feeling annoyed, “I dragged Henry into this. If I don’t handle this well, we’ll be in huge trouble.”
Julian was silent for a while before he said, “Jasper, it’ll be fine. You can solve every problem that comes your way.”
“I hope so…” Jasper shook his head and said, “Julian, ask the airport whether the plane is back from Harbor City or not.”
That was right. One hour ago, Jasper’s Gulfstream plane had already departed from Harbor City to come back to Nauritus City’s airport just to ferry Jasper over.
“Okay.”
Julian did not ask or say anything more. He immediately called the airport.
Half an hour later, the Bentley stopped in the parking lot of Nauritus City International Airport. Then, Jasper and Julian headed to the aircraft parking ground through the special VIP lane. They did not even have time to pack a single suitcase. A moment later, they got onto the plane that had been refueled and headed to Harbor City while zooming into the clouds with a loud rumble.
When Jasper’s plane took off, most of normal people were sound asleep. Meanwhile, the upper-class circle in Harbor City was in chaos.
The Law Manor.
Zachary, who rushed back from Auma City sat on the sofa in the middle of the room with no expression on his face. He was slowly smoking a cigar in his hand.
Meanwhile, two men were sitting next to him.
One of them was Alex’s father, the head of the Jeans, Alex Jean.
Another burly man with an imposing manner and white hair on his temples was the current head and boss of Star Group, Merrie Branson. He had a domineering and powerful presence even though he was just sitting quietly in place.
“Mr. Law, Henry, Alex, and Howard are currently being detained by the police. I just contacted them, and I couldn’t see them at all. The Atticus family must be involved in this, so we have to quickly think of a plan. If not, I’m worried those three kids will be doomed.”
Phil lost his cool and broke the silence.
Zachary looked at Phil and said, “I called Sawyer just now.”
“What did he say?” Phil asked quickly.
Zachary flicked the ashes of his cigar away and said faintly, “An eye for an eye.”
The corners of Phil’s lips twitched, and he said through gritted teeth, “Fabian is in the hospital and he’s under so much protection. However, from what we could tell, the incident was not so serious that it would cost him his life. He only suffered some flesh wounds so how is he going to give them a taste of their own medicine?”
“The Atticus family got dirt against us now.”
Morrie, who had stayed silent the whole time, finally said quietly.
Since Morrie came from the underworld, he was used to fighting and scheming against the others in the dark. The methods those dark entities employed were way worse than what the outside world were aware of, so he clearly understood what the Atticus family was thinking. He immediately knew what they wanted.
“So what? Should we just watch our children get locked up and suffer hardships? Everyone knows that the police chief is Sawyer’s best buddy. Now that the three of them are locked up, how much are they are going to suffer?” Phil said angrily.
Zachary waved his hand and answered, “What are you so scared of? So what if the police chief was raised by Sawyer? Does he dare to kill my son?”
After Zachary said that, Phil did not say anything anymore.
At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. The reason he deliberately behaved so restless back then was to make Zachary say that.
As long as Henry was fine, his son, Alex, would be safe and sound too.
This was how the big shots communicated. Their fights would be hidden in every small detail of conversation.
“Let’s just wait,” Zachary said suddenly.
