This time, it was Zachary who picked
Jasper up after he rushed to Harbor City
overnight.
“Jasper, I’ve let you down.”
As soon as they met, Zachary felt
embarrassed.
Harbor City was equivalent to the Laws
territory, and on this territory, something
had happened to Jasper’s people, so
Zachary could not shake the feeling that h
e had let down Jasper.
Jasper waved his hand and said to
Zachary, “Uncle Law, you are too
courteous. This matter has nothing to do
with you. I didn’t expect anyone to do
anything to Wendy in Harbor City, let
alone you guys.”
Zachary smiled bitterly, “It’s very
unexpected indeed. Perhaps they knew we
wouldn’t expect this, and that’s how they
surprised us.”
The two walked towards the exit of the
airport and chatted the whole way.
“How is the situation now?” Jasper asked.
“The driver has woken up and provided three sketches of the criminals. Now, the sketches of the criminals have been released to the entirety of Harbor City through various channels. TV stations and broadcasting stations are reporting relevant news continuously. The police also dispatched the most capable force to form a team to conduct investigations across Harbor City.
“At present, the biggest suspects are the triads. The appearance and outfits described by the driver also conform to the image and behavior of the members of the mass organization.
“Harbor City has returned to the
sovereignty of the mainland for many
years while the majority of triadss have
basically been cleared, while the remaining large ones have also begun to start doing good. However, at the end of the day the power of Harbor City’s triadss was too large and complex back then, so it is not possible to pinpoint exactly which organization did this for the time being.
“This is still under investigation.”
By the time Zachary finished speaking,
the two were already in the car.
At the same time, the expressionless
Julian and Fallon were also seated in the
car.
Things were especially tense for Fallon, as
Wendy’s personal bodyguard for many
years, her relationship with Wendy was n
o worse than that between Jasper and
Julian. The two of them blamed
themselves now that Wendy had gotten
into trouble.
They felt that if they had not asked for
leave and failed to protect Wendy, this
kidnapping would never have happened.
After listening to Zachary’s words, Jasper
was expressionless.
In his past and present life, Jasper had
hardly dealt with the power of the
organizations in Harbor City.
He did not have the qualification to do
that in his previous life, and the
organizations did not have a reason to
interact with him in this life.
After all, they were all in shady businesses
and Jasper was born in Somerland
mainland, so he was naturally highly
sensitive and vigilant toward people with
shady backgrounds. Thus, he was
unwilling to have any dealings with these
triads.
However, even if you might not see it, but
you ought to have at least heard about it.
Harbor City’s triads background could be
traced back to when Somerland was still a
republic. The founder of one of the three
major triads, Righteous Guild, was the
major general of Somerland during those
times, and he passed that title down to the
family, the Hills.
The Fourteen Club had a bigger backing,
and the founder was the lieutenant
general of Somerland back in the days.
As for MSM, it was an organization
formed by the local forces of Harbor City
under the pressure of two triadss.
In the mid-1980s and 1990s, when these
three pillars stood together, they were no
less famous than the Italian mafia,
Sunrise Land’s Mountain Group, and other world-class criminal organizations
at their peak.
It was just that after the handover, under the heavy hand of the politics, the ones who managed to flee, fled, while the ones who could not were shot dead. Now, the ones who remained were considered smart as they had done the right thing early.
Even so, the leaders and backbone of various so-called companies today were still desperadoes who escaped the bloody battlefield back then.
From Jasper’s perspective, as a person who was reincarnated, he knew it would take at least 10 years before the strength o f the Harbor City triads was truly ablated..
And now, these desperadoes would still do
anything they wanted. If this happened half a year ago, Jasper
would find it very tricky.
Triads had been rooted and developing in Harbor City for decades. With intricate forces and deep backgrounds, a butterfly effect would happen if some slight
changes happened. Yet, Jasper could not indulge these damned rascals now. “I want to meet the current heads of
Righteous Guild, the Fourteen Club, and
MSM within the hour.”
Jasper’s request surprised Zachary
slightly.
“The three heads have different tempers, and one is more arrogant than the other, especially the leader of the Fourteen Club. He’s the oldest and the most experienced, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to talk to him.”
Worried that Jasper would lose his sense and reason because this matter involved Wendy, Zachary persuaded him to act impulsively.
“It’s not easy to talk to them?”
Jasper sneered and said, “I am more difficult to talk to than them.
“Uncle Law, times have changed. It’s no longer the days when these little old hooligans could run into the streets with machetes. If these men were the stubborn and pedantic, they would have been executed in the mainland during the Handover. The timid ones would have escaped too.
“The remaining ones who could transform and succeed in time are not so brave, but they are clever. They understand what the current era is all about.
“When Uncle Law sends them over, help me pass on a message. If I can spend 100 million to turn Harbor City upside down, then I can spend more money to wipe out their companies and organizations that have been passed down for decades. I didn’t bat an eyelid when I was chased by the agents from Sunrise Land to the United States. They’re just gangsters and they want to throw a tantrum at me? Do. they think they can bully Jasper Laine?
“This time, it’s not me begging them to d o anything. It’s my people who had an accident in Harbor City and it’s obviously related to the triads. So, all of them, young or old, need to come up and give m e an explanation. If they can’t, then I will destroy the lair of these hooligans. Will J Wbow down to these hooligans after
surviving for so long?”
Zachary looked at Jasper in surprise. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, ” You punk.”
Indeed, Jasper had always been gentle and cultivated in front of Zachary. Plus, he would typically use his brains more than other methods.
Although the methods were also thought u p by the brain, Jasper’s strategy had always been subduing the enemy without fighting. It was also closer to the majestic and grandiose plot of a nobleman as he often disdained using power to pressure others.
Zachary always thought this might have something to do with Jasper’s background.
However, this time, Jasper’s
overbearingness was vividly displayed.
Now, Zachary finally realized his understanding of Jasper was not as profound as the old master’s. It might even be possible that he knew less than Anna.
Thinking of what his daughter Anna said t o him before, Zachary said, “The old master expects you to do this, and even Anna was right about this. Jasper, you really changed how I see you.”
“Where is Anna?”
Upon hearing Anna’s name, Jasper’s
mood finally changed a little. “She’s already on the way to contact the heads of the three major triads for you.”
