Julian opened the door and the Combe siblings bowed to Julian with smiling faces.
As the second generation of a rich family, they were well aware that it was easy to meet up with the lord but the assistant beside the lord would be difficult to deal with. If they were to offend Julian, this bodyguard of Jasper’s could easily speak ill of them in front of Jasper from time to time. That would be the worst case that they would be regretful of.
“Come in, Brother Laine is waiting for you guys.”
Julian said it calmly and did not bother with the two of them.
Hector and Jacob dared not waste a single second and ran into the waiting area. They stood politely in front of Jasper and asked, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Laine.”
Jasper spun around and looked at the siblings. ‘I haven’t seen them in a few days. They don’t seem to be different but their attitudes have changed drastically.
‘They suddenly have the desire to live now.’
“Are you guys so scared of me?” said Jasper playfully.
Hector smiled awkwardly and said, “To tell you the truth, Mr. Laine, we’re slightly afraid.”
Hector also added in a better manner, “Previously, us siblings, especially me, did not know our standings and offended you, Mr. Laine. Fortunately, Mr. Laine was generous enough to forgive us and let us off the hook. Now that we’re meeting you again, we do feel a little scared.”
Jasper smiled but did not doubt the sincerity of the two siblings.
“That’s right. As children of rich families, you have your targets set high up and are able to trample over others with the authority of your family background, but it’s also because of this that you’ll feel fear more than the ordinary person. You’ll even be able to see through things better.
“I have a small favor to request from you two. I believe you’ll be able to get it done properly.”
After listening to Jasper’s comments, both Hector and Jacob were delighted and sorrowful at the same time.
They were delighted because they were able to get on Jasper’s good side. Regardless of the consequences to themselves or their family, it was definitely a good thing.
At the same time, they were sorrowful because Jasper had requested them to do him a favor. ‘Regardless of how small the favor is, I don’t think it’ll truly be such a small favor?’
Given Jasper’s capability, they no longer dared to be suspicious of him.
It was just like what Jasper said. They would fear outstanding figures like Jasper more than the average person because they were very well aware of the authority possessed by the likes of Jasper. They could easily crush the Combe siblings.
Hector and his brother were feeling anxious. After hesitating for a long time, it was Jacob as the elder brother who took the lead and spoke, “Please name your order, Mr. Laine. As long it’s within our capabilities, we brothers will be sure to settle the matter for you.”
Jasper sat on the sofa and pointed to the opposite, beckoning Hector and Jacob to have a seat.
Jasper asked while looking at Hector, “Do you know how to gamble?”
Hector was dumbfounded. Subconsciously, he nodded. “I know a bit of the game.”
“Do you know how to set up a gambling event?” asked Jasper.
Hector reacted to his words. Jasper wanted him to set up a gambling event to set others up.
Regarding the issue of setting others up, as long as one had spent quite some time gambling, they would come to realize it as well. ‘As long as it involves gambling, there will definitely be set-ups.’
It all depended on how large the bet was and the tactics of the banker.
“I do!” Hector said ruthlessly through gritted teeth.
Jasper snapped his fingers and Julian walked over while presenting a copy of the documents. From the documents, he took out a sheet of information and threw it on the coffee table in the middle of the three people.
That sheet of information was the biodata of Sebastian with his picture on top of it.
Upon glancing at Sebastian’s name and picture, Jacob and Hector’s pupils immediately shrunk.
“Your uncle will be the target of the set-up this time,” said Jasper calmly.
Hearing Jasper pointing out their relationship made Hector reply with a bitter smile, “Mr. Laine, I wonder what my uncle has done to offend you? Can I apologize to you on his behalf?”
Jasper raised his hand to stop Hector from talking and replied calmly, “This is not a matter of me taking offense. It’s something related to revenge, involving someone’s life. You guys can’t afford to be the middleman for this. The same goes to your dad, Hendrik Combe.”
Hearing the comment made Hector and Jacob exchange looks at each other. Both of them felt a chill crawling up their spines, all the way to the depths of their souls.
