Jasper hurriedly said, “No. If I take this offer, won’t I be getting this advantage in vain?”
The old master laughed and said, “Jasper, don’t you understand? Whether it’s the venue construction or Olympic Village, the Laws can’t devour them alone. Moreover, the construction of the Olympic Village is too large. As businessmen from Harbor City, Joe and I have already taken 70% and it’s already a lot.
“Meanwhile, you’re the local representative we elected.”
Jasper frowned and said, “I’m not in any faction.”
Jasper knew too much about how fierce the conflict between factions was. He did not intend to get involved unless it was the last resort.
“Jasper, you’ll find yourself to involuntarily be in many things when you reach a certain position. You’re from the Mainland, so you’ll naturally be regarded as being in the local faction.
“Plus, this is also to protect you. The others regard you as a local faction, but now you have a better relationship with us. When the time comes, you’ll be caught in the middle with enemies coming at you from both sides.”
Old Master Law cleared up the confusion in Jasper’s head.
“The surrounding of the local factions see me as an innate local faction, but in the eyes of their core, such as the W. Langdons, I’m on the side of Harbor City businessmen.”
Jasper frowned, his face thoughtful.
Old Master Law looked at Jasper with a faint smile. He did not disturb his thoughts and was waiting for him to continue his analysis.
“Caught between enemies… Who among the four rich families wants me dead? Is Kennedy so anxious?” Jasper suddenly looked up and said.
Old Master Law was really interested this time. “Why do you say Kennedy instead of Wallace?”
Jasper smiled bitterly. “Old Master, no matter how conceited I am, I’m not arrogant enough to think that Wallace needs to deal with me cautiously.
“On the contrary, it’s Kennedy. Ever since I met him, we haven’t been able to get along. Plus, judging from his attitude toward me tonight, he has tolerated me for a long time.
“As long as he has the opportunity, he certainly wouldn’t mind hitting me when I’m down.”
Old Master Law laughed and said, “Smart.”
“In fact, this so-called alliance was initiated by Spencer by mediating and pulling strings in the middle of the proposal. The Boyles’ focus has always been on the shipbuilding industry, but this industry relies too much on international trade. If there’s turmoil, they’re the first to be ruined.
“Spencer is now anxious to find other ways, but his ability falls short of his wishes. He wants to do it but he dare not try, so he proposed to make such an alliance. However, Joe and I are actually not optimistic about it.
“And you’ve analyzed the reason why just now.”
Jasper sighed. “In that case, Spencer is probably also very dissatisfied with me as I broke up the alliance just now.”
“If you’re in our position, there’s no satisfaction or dissatisfaction when you treat a person. It’s nothing more than interest.” Old Master Law waved his hand, and he was not bothered.
“I’ve discussed with Joe about the matter from just now. As long as you nod your head, it’ll be done.” Old Master Law smiled.
Jasper laughed and said, “I’m not in a hurry. After all, the whole plan doesn’t even have a proposal. Besides, I don’t think the locals will be willing to give up the Olympic Village.”
“I’ll let Zachary and the others follow up on this matter.”
The old master got up and patted Jasper’s arm. He said warmly, “Just do anything you want to do boldly. Young people should not be afraid of making mistakes. It’s precisely that they have to make more mistakes while they’re young so that they won’t make any huge mistakes when they’re old later.”
Jasper got up and smiled. “Old Master, you should rest earlier. I’ll remember your words.”
Old Master Law smiled and nodded to Jasper before he walked out of the study.
At the entrance of the hotel suite, Zachary sent Jasper out.
“Uncle Law, you should go back too. You don’t have to walk me out,” Jasper said.
Zachary nodded. Then, he frowned suddenly and said, “Is Henry, that b*stard, doing something again?”
The image of Henry giving Lisa and Ben an evil smirk appeared in Jasper’s head suddenly. He said embarrassingly, “He knows when he needs to stop.”
“If he truly knows that, I wouldn’t have to worry about him so much!”
“Their parents even complained to me, saying that Henry was carrying their son to the room where he stayed and threatened to mess their whole family up!
“What nonsense!”
Looking at the furious Zachary, Jasper silently wished Henry good luck in his heart. However, it was not strange for Henry to do such a thing judging by his temper.
“It has something to do with me this time, so you can’t put all the blame on him.” Jasper exculpated Henry.
Zachary frowned. “It has something to do with you? Then it seems that this kid is not completely useless. At least he knows who’s close to him and who isn’t now. Is he avenging you?”
If Henry were here, he would definitely wonder who was Zachary’s biological son just from the difference in treatment.
“That kid still needs more training. You need to put in more work in this regard,” Zachary said to Jasper.
Jasper nodded and smiled. “I’ll treat him as my biological brother.”
Zachary grinned. He was very satisfied with the answer.
While watching Jasper leave, Zachary suddenly said, “Be careful with the Langdons.”
Jasper paused, nodded to Zachary, then turned and left.
In the car going back, Jasper was looking pensive.
Zachary’s reminder sounded extremely unusual.
It was not about Kennedy, but about the Langdons.
Among these four families, there were two Langdons.
The other Langdon family was also cooperating with the Laws to develop the Olympic Village… This was going to be interesting.
When he was back in the hotel, Jasper had just stepped into the lobby when he saw Julian walking toward him. After Jasper saw his face, he sensed that there seemed to be an emergency.
“Jasper, I couldn’t get through to you after calling you repeatedly. Something bad has happened,” Julian said to Jasper when they met.
Jasper frowned and said, “I was in an important meeting and turned off my phone. What’s the matter?”
“It’s Henry, but I don’t know what happened specifically… He just told me to find you as soon as possible. Jasper, hurry. Go up and have a look,” Julian said.
During this time, the relationship between Henry and Julian was strangely well.
A top-notch young master and a top-notch master.
The two who were originally completely unrelated to each other actually had a common topic. Henry also liked this person who was ruthless but not talkative. The two had a good relationship in private, otherwise Julian would not be so worried about Henry.
“Let’s talk upstairs.”
Jasper said and walked into the elevator.
He had a hunch that his enemies had already begun to take action against him, and Henry might just be their attempt… However, who was so courageous to use the Laws as a touchstone for himself?
