Jasper’s last sentence was a very widely used threat before he reincarnated.
That was because of how classic the threat was.
However, in the year 2001, no one said such a thing.
It explained why Dawson almost laughed aloud when he heard Jasper say it.
Even Conrad’s gaze darkened instantly although he had always prided himself for his composure and ability to stay unfazed regardless of the situation.
Despite being enraged, Conrad did not act on the ire he felt and smiled instead.
“Are you trying to provoke me on purpose?”
Conrad stared at Jasper and spoke calmly.
Jasper shook his head and replied sincerely, “You’ve misunderstood. I am merely stating the truth.
“I’m not like other people. Anger will not cause me to lose my rationality. If anything, anger only clears my mind.”
Conrad narrowed his eyes at Jasper coldly and fiercely, but the corner of his lips quirked.
“Because I’m well aware that useless nobodies are unworthy of my anger. Only the truly capable and skilled have the ability to irk me, so whatever you’re playing at? I’m sorry but it’s not going to work.”
With that, Conrad faced Jasper and tapped on his temple before turning to leave.
“Show yourself out, please.”
Jasper had just finished speaking when Conrad closed the door behind him with a bang.
The relaxed and casual expression Jasper wore fell away, leaving his heavily furrowed brows to be seen.
“Jasper, this person has already made a name for himself ten years ago. There are countless families of different sizes here in the Southeast Province, but he’s the only one who managed to supersede the head of the family at the age of 25.
“Sure, there’s not much competition within the Monty family for the right to inherit since his grandfather, his dad, and he are the only sons. But the fact that Conrad had his father Steven’s approval is enough testament to his capabilities. Plus, all of the Monty family’s property and businesses are very well organized. There’s nothing to pick on at all.”
Dawson walked over and clapped Jasper’s shoulder. “There have been rumors before about how Conrad’s genius existence is good karma that has been accumulated over the past 50 years. There’s hope for Conrad to lead the Monty family into being the Southeast Province’s first inter-province family.
“There’s nothing wrong with feeling stressed when you’re facing such a person.”
However, Jasper shook his head and looked up to ask Dawson, “Uncle Schuler, there’s something I’ve been thinking about this entire time. What did Conrad want from coming over tonight?”
Dawson was stunned and replied reflexively, “Didn’t he come for Zayden’s release?”
Jasper smiled and replied, “That’s what he said, but didn’t you realize? There was no sigh of disappointment at all when I declined.
“Or perhaps he’s just really good at hiding what he thinks. But still, despite Zayden being an evidently lost cause, Conrad was still willing to expose himself for him. And to request something we could not possibly agree to.
“I had no idea that Kennedy and the others were using Conrad to deal with me before this.”
Dawson fell into thought at Jasper’s words, and his expression turned into an interesting one.
“Unless, this was a diversion?”
Jasper let out a small huff and spoke, “We don’t have enough leads right now, so I can’t predict what his true motive is here.”
“Uncle Schuler, how much do you know about this Conrad or this Monty family? Tell me a little bit more about them. I have no idea who they are at all.”
Hearing Jasper’s words, Dawson smiled. “It makes sense that you wouldn’t know considering how low profile the Monty family is. Not even ordinary people who’ve lived their entire lives in the Southeast Province may know of them either, let alone come in contact with them.
“The founder of the family is Conrad’s grandfather, Austin Monty, but he lived a short life. The current head of the family is Conrad. His father Steven is still alive, he’s just retired. Back then…”
