“Give up? How would a person like that give up so easily? You overestimate us and underestimate Fabian,” Fabian said calmly. ‘
While he was talking, his phone rang.
“Are you in Harbor City?”
Celine’s calm voice came from the other end of the line.
Jasper smiled and said, “You’re so well-informed. I am indeed in Harbor City.”
“Do you know you’ve caused a lot of trouble?” Celine asked.
Jasper was not worried. When he heard Celine’s calm voice, he knew this issue would not be as huge as he imagined.
“Aren’t I always causing trouble?”
Celine sighed and continued, “This time it’s not the same. I’ll be waiting for you in Gambino’s Noodle on Queen Road. You better hurry up, I only have two hours.”
After she said that, she hung up before Jasper could say a word.
After he placed the phone down, Jasper seemed to be lost in thought.
It seemed that Celine had something important to tell him. She could not say it through the phone, so she had to tell him in person.
Moreover, this had to be something sensitive, otherwise they would not meet in a noodle shop.
Was Celine hiding from someone?
“You should rest. Don’t think about work for now. I’ll manage it myself.”
Jasper did not have the mood to stick around any longer. So, he got up and told Jake.
The matter was not over yet. However, Fabian and his team would not dare to do anything to Jake right now. If they wanted to target someone, they would target Jasper. Hence, he was not worried about Jake’s safety at this point in time.
“Alright, I’ll go back to my post as soon as possible,” Jake said, raising his spirits.
Jasper smiled and nodded. “Rest well. Perhaps you’ll be useful in other ways.”
He said this spontaneously to comfort the man, but Jasper did not expect this to come true.
After he left the hospital, he asked Julian to drive.
Queen Road was easy to find, but Gambino’s Noodle was not.
Julian was not familiar with the roads in Harbor City, and right now, there was no GPS on one’s phone so it was not as convenient to find a hidden shop. Thus, an hour passed before Jasper finally found the place.
Gambino’s Noodle was hidden in an alleyway next to Queen Road. The place was not big and it looked aged. The moment Jasper entered the shop, he heard Celine’s familiar voice.
“F*ck off, I don’t have time to entertain you right now!”
“You!”
Two cheeky thugs were standing next to Celine’s table. They grinned and said to Celine, “Why are you so hot tempered, sweet cheeks? We’re with Machino, so if you’re willing to play with us, you can do anything you want on this street.”
Jasper frowned.
This was the first time he had run into the local specialty of Harbor City thugs.
Even though it had been many years since the Handover, scum like this would always exist where there were people and society.
“Julian, throw those two scumbags outside.”
