However, this was inevitable. The Turner family of Swallow Capital could not be compared to other smaller families. They had way more tricks up their sleeves than Jasper currently did.
Thus, if one wanted to get rid of Erik Turner, they would not be able to do that within a day.
All they could do was take their time laying things out.
Jasper had the advantage of reincarnation on his side. The rate at which his wealth increased was bound to exceed everyone’s expectations. It would not take long before Jasper no longer needed to pay attention to these families.
“Will you continue staying at Swallow Capital?” Jasper asked Henry.
Henry’s face radiated delight as he said happily, “There are still a few processes the newest branch office has to complete, so I’ll be here for a while longer. I can only leave when everything has been taken care of.”
“I’ll be returning to Southeast Province soon. Come meet up with me once you’re done with business here. The Southface River project we collaborated on is almost done but I need you to look over some developmental details before we can wrap things up,” Jasper said instructively.
Henry pouted as he said, “Can’t you make the decisions? I don’t understand anything anyway. I sort of want to spend a few more days in Swallow Capital—”
“Swallow Capital is a messy place. Not only should you leave as soon as possible, but you should ensure you don’t get into any trouble during the time you have to stay here. Both Old Master Law and your dad have left, so no one can protect you anymore,” Jasper said as he frowned.
Henry raised an eyebrow as he said disdainfully, “So what? Since when has Henry Law required protecting when he goes to hang out?”
“How wonderful of you. Should we pay the Turner family another visit? I heard you were very high and mighty the last time you delivered them the invitation,” Jasper said calmly.
“…” The corners of Henry’s mouth twitched before he grumbled, “F*ck, it’s hard for me to deal with that idiot Erik when we’re in his homeland. I’m not being a coward this time, I’m just making a strategic decision to back off.”
“It’s good that you know to back off,” Jasper answered calmly.
“By the time you arrive at Southeast Province and do the last bit of work for the project, the year will have ended. When the New Year celebrations end and spring arrives, we can encash the project. We’re pressed for time, so not a single second can be wasted.”
“When are you leaving?” Henry asked.
Jasper thought for a moment before answering, “Probably tonight. There’s nothing left to take care of here and I haven’t returned to my company in the province for months. There’s a ton of paperwork waiting for me.”
Henry clicked his tongue as he said, “I don’t understand what you people are thinking. What’s the point of earning so much money when you don’t enjoy life and work yourself so hard that you can’t tell the days from the nights? You should enjoy life while you still have the time to do so!”
Jasper could not be bothered to pay any attention to the fool with twisted views.
…
After bidding farewell to those he had connections with in Swallow Capital and taking care of everything else, Jasper took a plane and left Swallow Capital.
Erik received that piece of news the minute Jasper left.
“What about Henry Law? Has he left too?” Erik asked.
The confidant who had come bearing the news answered respectfully, “No.”
Erik laughed coolly as he said, “Ignore Jasper for now since he has left. Someone will naturally cause trouble for him. As for Henry, arrange for someone to spy on him 24/7. Report to me immediately if anything happens.”
“Yes, Young Master Turner,” the confidant replied before leaving.
When silence returned to the room, Erik picked up the phone.
“Mr. Hull, it’s me, Erik.
“I just received news that Jasper has left Swallow Capital. You should set any plans you have in motion as soon as possible.
“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to assist you in any way you require. However, this is still a grudge that’s between you and Jasper in the end. It’s not suitable for the Turner family to make a direct appearance for various reasons. I’m sure you understand.
“Alright, I’ll await your good news.”
Erik laughed loudly after he hung up the phone.
He had received a call from Ian and Norman last night indicating their intentions to launch an attack against Jasper.
This was right up Erik’s alley. Naturally, he supported them fully.
Jasper was going to suffer major losses if he got these two powerful puppets to do his work for him.
Erik narrowed his eyes slightly as he mumbled, “Just wait and see, Jasper Laine. Soon you’ll have to kneel in front of me and repent for everything you’ve done!”
