As soon as Brad said this, the atmosphere between the four fell into an awkward moment of silence.
Brad smiled, but his eyes were full of profound meaning when he looked at Jasper as if he was waiting to see how he would respond.
Zachary had no expression on his face and was looking at Brad with a slightly pissed look in his eyes. However, he had always respected Jasper’s image.
It seemed that as soon as Jasper spoke, Zachary would be able to say something to counterattack Brad.
After all, regarding how hedonistic Henry was, it was also passed down from Zachary.
Although the current patriarch of the Laws had, on the surface, withdrawn himself from this for many years, it could be said that the Law got rich because of the old master. Zachary was the second generation of the Laws in the true sense.
If this Mr. Law became ruthless, his methods would be countless times superior to Henry’s.
As for Erik, there was no way for him to speak.
Erik just relaxed and looked at Jasper from the corners of his eyes, waiting for him to respond.
This awkward silence only lasted for a few breaths. Jasper smiled, saying, “No matter how strong the second generations are, they will always follow the trajectory and experience of their predecessors. So, there’s still a lot to learn, but the younger generation is also separated into different kinds, that’s all.
“If I were to compare myself to Uncle Law, I think I still have a lot of room for improvement.”
As soon as his words came out, Zachary was beaming with joy. Brad laughed along with him, but his laughter sounded a little awkward.
With that statement, Jasper had humbled himself, lifted Zachary, and made a comeback at Brad.
“Not bad. Very good.”
Brad’s words were full of significance. He turned his head and said to Erik, “See? I always tell you that there are people better than you out there and it’s people like Jasper. You’re about the same age, but there’s such a huge difference between the two of you. You need to learn from Jasper.”
Erik said respectfully after hearing the words, “I know, Dad. I will humbly learn from Jasper.”
“Mr. Turner, you’re over-praising me. I just have better luck and don’t really have a lot of talents. You’ll make me lose my sense of modesty if you praise me too much,” Jasper said unenthusiastically.
Brad laughed and said, “You have accomplished such achievements at a young age, so it’s alright even if you lose your sense of modesty because it is as it ought to be.
“However, Jasper…”
Brad’s tone faded as soon as he switched the conversation to another subject.
“Our country is vast and rich, filled with outstanding people with great talents. We must always keep in mind the principle that there is always someone better than us in the world just like how I taught Erik. Don’t look down on everyone in the world just because of some achievements.
“Your generation is still young and has insufficient experiences, so making too many enemies is not a good thing.”
Jasper said insipidly, “Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Turner. I’ll keep it in mind.”
Zachary also spoke up at this time. He said, “Turner, I don’t like to hear that. Are young people still young if they’re not impulsive and have a pioneering spirit? It’s fine if they cause trouble, just treat it as gaining more experience. The people from the older generation like us will just bear it for him.
“If we can’t bear it, the old man is still around, don’t you think?”
Upon hearing Zachary’s words, Brad’s expression suddenly became serious. He looked at Zachary deeply and smiled faintly. “It seems that you Laws really admire this young man named Jasper so much that you’re even letting out such words.”
Zachary said calmly, “This is not my intention only, but also my father’s.”
