Initially, he would not relate anyone with Law as their surname to one of the four rich families in Harbor City. After all, this was a rare surname but it was not so rare that it was non-existent.
There were a lot of people with the same first name and surname, let alone the same surname.
However, before he came here, Ben had heard his father saying that this event was extremely high-class. There was a possibility that the four rich families would be here.
After connecting the two, a horrifying thought appeared in Ben’s brain.
“No. It can’t be.” Lisa’s face was also white from terror.
“Don’t overthink for now. Think of a way to contact Mr. Turner to ask whether the Laws are here. If they really are, then we have to think of a way,” Ben said with a horrible look on his face.
…
At this moment, in the inner area.
Erik was sitting in his seat. Brad just got back after socializing with a few of his friends who were close to the family.
“We’ve underestimated Jasper.” Brad sighed ruefully.
Erik grunted and said, “He’s just lucky.”
Brad glared at Erik and said angrily, “Why aren’t you that lucky? Luck is also a kind of ability. You’re several ranks lower than Jasper just by saying that!”
Erik said while feeling unconvinced, “Dad, why are you always diminishing my prestige by using someone else’s ambition? Jasper used to step on our heads and ride roughshod over us. Are you going to treat it as if it never happened?”
Brad said coldly, “I’m teaching you how to grow. Do you know that Jasper got almost all of the aristocrats in Harbor City over to this event this time?”
“He got everyone from the four rich families. Everyone in those families is here. Old Master Law, Wallace Langdon, Joe Langdon, and Spencer Boyle. These four are all here. Your grandfather doesn’t even have the power to invite them over let alone the two of us.”
Erick was shocked when he heard that. “How is that possible? For what reason? Even if he has a close relationship with the Laws, Zachary Law showing up should already be the limit, right?
“Old Master Law is not the only one who’s here but the rest of the heads of the four rich families too? Dad, you’re joking, right?”
Brad smirked and said, “I don’t have the time to mess around with you. Didn’t you see that your grandpa is here as well?
“He didn’t want to come, but if the heads of the four rich families are here and a lot of the big shots from the higher-ups have even decided to show up at the last minute, what more your grandpa?
“The higher-ups have a very good impression of Jasper. You have to know that the four rich families represent Harbor City! Even though it has been three years since the handover, aside from the Laws from the four rich families, the rest of them have very ambiguous relationships with the Mainland.
“What can this prove now that Jasper is able to invite all of them over at once? It means that the four rich families are willing to work closely with the Mainland through Jasper. Don’t you understand what this means?”
Erik sat on the sofa limply. He muttered, “How is that possible… How old is he? What did he do… I don’t believe this…”
Brad sighed after looking at his dispirited and unconvinced son. He said, “I know you have a knot in your heart, but if you want to become stronger, you need to acknowledge that your enemy is also strong. Your progress will only stagnate if you keep looking down on your enemies.
“Back then, Jasper hosted a hundred billion market rescue plan in Harbor City. The entire upper-class of the city owes him a big one. This is the antecedent.
“Old Master Law admires Jasper. He’s so old yet he still used his status to help Jasper take hold of the situation. He even ran around and pulled strings for him.
“Jasper only has what he has right now after a combination of different elements. It’s not something that can simply be earned by luck as you said.
“That rascal is such an outstanding man. I wonder if you’re lucky or unlucky to have been born at the same time as him,” Brad said insipidly. There were sighs and laments in his tone.
