“Mr. Monty, why are you…”
Zayden was cut off by Conrad’s dismissive wave. With a warm smile, Conrad spoke, “There’s not much that can go on without my knowledge in the Southeast Province.”
Zayden felt his body grow cold.
He knew that the Monty family had a strong influence in the Southeast Province, but he had not expected such unimaginable power.
‘Doesn’t that mean Conrad knows about everything that I’ve been doing since I got here?’
At that thought, Zayden’s expression turned sour.
It seemed like the people in Harbor City did not trust him, after all. Conrad must be the true person they were working with.
“Please sit, Mr. Monty.”
Sirius ushered Conrad to take a seat at the head of the table before he spoke cautiously, “Are you in agreement to get rid of Jasper, Mr. Monty?”
Conrad fiddled with the ring in his hands and replied calmly, “I have quite the understanding of Jasper, but I’m not interested in dealing with him at all. Do as you wish, I’m merely here to provide the support required.”
Smiling, Conrad continued, “But I do wish that you succeed on the first try and not create complications, or it would be difficult for me to explain it to the people in Harbor City.”
Sirius’ expression shifted. He was already 90% in agreement with the plan. He asked, “Excuse me for pressing unnecessarily, Mr. Monty, but does your family intend to further develop in Harbor City?”
Conrad looked up at Sirius and asked calmly, “Why ask if you already know that it’s unnecessary?”
“My apologies, Mr. Monty. I shouldn’t have asked.”
Sirius quickly apologized, goosebumps rising on his arms after being subjected to Conrad’s mere gaze.
Conrad stood up and looked at Zayden. “I’ve already done what was needed of me. Whatever is left is up to you. Like I said, speed things up on your end. There’s only so much patience I and the people in Harbor City have.”
Conrad then walked toward the door before suddenly turning to Zayden, praising, “Oh, your plan wasn’t bad at all. Jasper has taken up many real estate projects within the province. While confidence is commendable in youths, problems will surely arise if they have too much on their plates.
“There’s no way a real estate company can continue operating when accidents occur in all of its projects at the same time, right?”
Then, with a smile, Conrad opened the door and left.
Conrad had only been in the room for less than five minutes and only spoken a few words, yet he had completely controlled the situation.
Zayden pursed his lips and looked at Sirius. He spoke in a calm voice, “You heard him too, right, Uncle Sirius? What more are you hesitating for?”
Sirius laughed aloud. “My nephew’s enemy is of course my enemy as well. I had already decided to help you since the beginning. Having the Monty family’s support now is only a bonus.”
Scoffing internally, Zayden felt the urge to slap Sirius across the face. Still, he kept the thought inside him.
In comparison to how cowardly and selfish Sirius was, Zayden was more pissed at Conrad.
“We’re all Harbor City’s dogs, so who are you to pretend like you’re much better than I am? You make it sound like you’re the one in control here too. What a piece of trash, I’ll f*cking kill you one day!”
…
Nauritus City, Orchid Bar. Terence joyfully had his arms around a woman when he was suddenly pulled up to his feet by his collar.
He felt the world spin around him for a moment, and when he was about to roar, he saw Jasper smiling at him while sitting on the couch. Terence froze and spoke distressingly, “What more do you still want from me, Jasper? I’ll tell you when I have news.”
