Beneath Gale’s pure white brows were a pair of wise and experienced eyes. He looked at Ian indifferently and spoke.
“Like I said. After this, you will no longer be my student.”
Ian replied calmly, “But you’ll always be my most respectable teacher, and I will continue to be a member of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.”
“Haha…”
Gale smiled ambiguously and picked up the coffee cup by his side before speaking faintly, “The help you require will appear by tomorrow.”
Ian secretly clenched his fists to hide the excitement in his heart.
However, he could tell from the way Gale drank his coffee that he did not want to entertain him as his guest anymore.
Now that he had gotten what he wanted, Ian did not dwell and courteously bade Gale farewell. He quietly exited the century-old manor.
Returning to the car, Ian turned his head back to see the subtle silhouette of the old manor hidden away in a land of green. His expression was no longer courteous but rather wretched and fierce.
“Just wait, Jasper. Tomorrow, I’ll show you how stupid your actions are in the cruelest way possible!
“I’m going to make the three of you—you, that Dawson, and his daughter Wendy—kneel before Benny after I snatch everything from you, Jasper. I don’t care if Benny has gone mad and won’t be able to understand you, but you three are going to apologize and repent!”
He had already contacted the people for hire for that.
After he had prepared everything on his side, Ian would immediately attack Jasper’s and Dawson’s properties from all sides.
“You think you’re vile? You’re too young to know what’s truly vile!”
Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, Ian shook excitedly at the thought of his impending victory.
Just then, Ian’s phone rang.
The urgency of his ringtone broke through the silence in the car and Ian’s brows furrowed slightly at the sound.
Seeing the display, he realized that it was from his company’s second-in-command.
Ian accepted the call without thinking too much.
“It’s me. What is it?” Ian asked straightforwardly.
His current priority was to get rid of the b*stard, Jasper. As for happenings within the company, he could push off whatever he could.
“Something big has happened, Mr. Hull. Two of our cargo ships were seized by customs inspectors in Harbor City!”
Ian’s eyes widened as he heard the words from his confidant.
“How could it be?! Our import and export trade has been steady this entire time, and the people in Harbor City have never come to trouble us before. Why did they suddenly detain our ships?!”
“Our people in Harbor City have already asked around, but the customs seem very adamant this time. They claim that they’ve found illegally smuggled goods on our ships.
“They’re refusing communication and even issued a restraining order on our people there. No one’s allowed to leave Harbor City until the incident has been fully investigated so they can be subpoenaed.”
Ian felt his scalp grow numb as if he had been struck by lightning.
