Brad slammed his teacup heavily and spat out that one word in a deep voice.
Ever since coming back from the banquet, Brad’s complexion had not looked good. The servants in the house dared not come close and only stayed away from him.
Erik stood at one side without saying a word.
Actually, he dared not say a word.
He saw with his own eyes how Jasper had echoed with the Laws to savagely mock his father.
At this time, Erik wanted so badly to hide so that his father would not take his anger out on him.
However, it was destined that he would be unable to escape.
“You’re a bit older than Jasper but why are you like a piece of trash when you stand next to him?” The more Brad thought about it, the angrier he became. He pointed at Erik and berated him.
Erik smiled bitterly and said while biting the bullet, “Dad, how many people my age can compare to him?”
Brad’s face was gloomy from dissatisfaction as he said coldly, “I only thought that this kid had amazing tactics before, but he’s able to advance and retreat so tactically. But tonight, it seems that all of us had been fooled by him! It turned out this kid was hiding so many things up his sleeves!
“In the past, it was said that there were two people from your generation who made it big, one was from the south and one was from the north. At the age of ten, the heavens punished the first son of the first wife of the Browns from the north because he was an evildoer. In the end, he was wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, in Waterhoof City in the south, it was a little prince who was also the grandson of the supreme emperor.”
“These two people could carry out the resurgence for your generation, but now it seems that you need to add Jasper as the third person.”
The expression on Erik’s face suddenly changed when he heard these words. He said in surprise, “Even if Jasper is all that, he’s still a kid with no background at the end of the day. What qualifications does he have to compare with those two?”
Brad said coldly, “Do you still think he has no background? The Laws are enough of a background for him! What’s more, which of the four rich families in Harbor City did not show him respect?
“And that was before tonight. After today’s banquet, the big shots in the loge were complimenting him non-stop. Although he did not declare his position, at least his name will be remembered.
“Who else can achieve this?”
Erik said with a jealous expression, “I still don’t think he can compare to the evildoer from the Brown family and the little prince from Waterhoof City. He’s still miles away.”
Brad snorted coldly. “Give him some time and it’s not impossible for him to become the third person.”
“Dad, look at his attitude toward us tonight. When he really becomes somebody in the future, I’m afraid he’ll make us suffer,” Erik said with a horrible expression.
Brad said gloomily, “Why wait until the future? Do you think Old Master Law came over just to cheer him on and show him support? An old fox of this level will have a purpose even when he’s blinking.
“I received news that this time, the Laws intend to kick us out from the sharing of profits from the construction of Olympic venues.”
Erik was shocked when he heard this. “What can we do?”
Brad became more and more impatient with his son who only knew to ask him what to do. “You’re not a kid anymore, can’t you think of a solution by yourself?”
Erik said helplessly, “So many people and things are involved in this and I don’t have the ability for that.”
“If you know that you don’t have the ability, just study hard! Stop doing trivial things all day long. You’re one of the Turners and you’ll have far more rivals!” Brad said while feeling resentful toward Erik for failing to meet expectations.
After taking a deep breath, Brad continued, “Our old master will not stand by and watch this as it happens. The entire Turner family will do something about this.
“However, this time, not only have the Laws entered the game themselves, but the other three of the four rich families are also very interested. Presumably, the Laws did a lot of work in the middle. As you know, Harbor City is a very special place. People from the upper-class really hope to have closer ties with Harbor City.
“For this reason, the Turners won’t be fighting alone. We can’t let people from Harbor City devour all the benefits, but if this is the case, Jasper won’t have the energy to solve it. As such, this matter is left for you to handle.”
At this point, Brad was staring at Erik with his eyes burning. He said in a deep voice, “Even if you can’t kill him, you have to hurt him so that he won’t be able to recover from the damages for at least five years.”
