At the same time, Jasper was well aware that the more support he received, the more careful he had to be.
After all, while he and Spencer Boyle were acquaintances, he and Joe were practically strangers. The gap in their statuses was too large.
As for a big shot like Wallace, Jasper had never once spoken to the man at all. The only impression he had was of Kennedy, and even then it was not great. If anything, Jasper found Kennedy an extremely selfish hero.
None of them were easy to talk to.
With his own ability, there was no way Jasper would have gotten all four families to attend.
The fact that they were attending was all thanks to Old Master Law.
“Thank you.” Jasper gave his heartfelt gratitude.
Old Master Law smiled warmly. “What for? You’re being too polite to an old man like me.
“The four of us will be in attendance because we think you have promising talents. You helped the four of our families during that stock market war in Harbor City back then, so they’re just returning the favor.
“And at the same time, the celebratory banquet for gaining the right to host the Olympics is a large event. It’s good news for the country and its citizens. There’s no way we’d miss this out.”
Then, Old Master Law advised in a meaningful tone, “You’ve always had a good grasp of what kind of future you want for yourself, but remember that as much as this is a chance for you, it’s also a test. The smallest details can affect the majority, so be very careful and attentive.”
Jasper’s mind lit up at the advice. There was no reason for Old Master Law to say meaningless things considering his status and identity, so there had to be something more to his words.
He remembered how he had suggested to Zachary the possibility of a mole within the four rich families during Harbor City’s stock market havoc.
Hearing Old Master Law, it seemed like he had an inkling but was not certain yet.
‘Could it be Spencer Boyle?
‘Joe Langdon?
‘Or Wallace Langdon who always kept a low profile?’
Jasper shook his head and did not delve deeper into the issue. He turned to the phone and replied, “I understand, Old Master Law. I’ll keep a closer eye out.”
The old master smiled. “Don’t think too much about it. You’re still young, still in the developmental stage. Growth is a process, so give it some more time and no one will be able to hold you back.
“Henry didn’t cause you any trouble there, did he?”
At that, Jasper glanced subconsciously at the hickey on Henry’s neck and the woman’s undergarment on the floor before replying with slight embarrassment, “He’s still the same, but it could be worse.”
“This child.” Considering who Old Master Law was, he understood what Jasper meant immediately and had Jasper pass the phone to Henry so he could speak to his grandson.
Henry immediately felt goosebumps across his skin when he saw Jasper passing the phone to him instead of hanging up after they were done with their conversation.
He stared at the phone in Jasper’s hand in fright as if it was a bomb.
Still, he did not dare to make the Old Master wait, so he stuttered as he took the phone and wailed as he greeted his grandfather.
Jasper had no way of knowing what the old master told Henry over the phone, but seeing how wilted the man looked after he hung up, Jasper knew that Henry had been taught a lesson.
Henry felt Jasper’s gaze and shrugged, not embarrassed in the slightest. “You get used to it. After all, I’m in Swallow Capital now and it’s not like I‘ll get physically hurt from a scolding.”
