Reading Jasper’s reaction, Dawson knew that the former had understood his message.
Turning around, Dawson was about to introduce him to Conrad when he saw the man smile and wave
his hand dismissively. “There’s no need to introduce us, Mr. Schuler. I’ve heard of Mr. Laine before.”
Jasper turned to Conrad and asked, “I’m honored to know that you’ve heard of me, Mr. Monty.”
Conrad replied calmly, “The host of Harbor City’s billion-dollar stocks rescue plan and the celebration
banquet for the approval to host the Olympics in Swallow Capital. Just because ordinary people do not
know of it does not mean I do not as well.
“There’s not much I can’t find out should I want to. And I just so happen to be intrigued by you as well.”
Jasper asked Conrad, “Could I ask what about me that has intrigued you, then, Mr. Monty?”
Conrad laughed aloud. “I heard that you sent Zayden to jail?”
Jasper’s expression was calm, but he did find himself shocked.
It had been no more than two hours since he showed his hand to Zayden and returned, yet Conrad
seemed to already know what had happened.
“There’s no need to be shocked. I have my ways to know what I want to know,” Conrad explained
calmly as if seeing through Jasper’s thoughts.
“Mr. Monty, you sure are knowledgeable,” Jasper stated calmly.
Conrad smiled. “I’ve wasted quite some time here already, and since you’re here now, let’s not beat
around the bush anymore.
“It’s completely over for Zayden now, Jasper. But many wish to keep the incident silent, so I’ve come to
bargain.
“Let’s minimize the damage here. Pull Zayden out of this incident and I can promise you he’ll never
bother you again. As for your loss, I’ll compensate five times the amount.”
Conrad then looked at Jasper confidently.
It was a great deal, and he believed that Jasper had no reason to decline him.
“Five times my loss, what a large amount,” Jasper said.
“Now I’m even more curious. Does Zayden have something on you people? Why are all of you so
desperate to pull him out of jail?”
At that point, Jasper could confirm that Sirius was not the accomplice Harbor City had found for
Zayden.
The true accomplice was Conrad.
It made sense, considering how Sirius did not have the status nor the intellect to directly contact the
people in Harbor City.
Conrad, however, matched the characteristics Jasper thought the accomplice should have.
The actual person Kennedy wanted to support might just be Conrad instead of Zayden.
The fact that Conrad had shown up tonight answered the last question in Jasper’s mind.
Hearing Jasper, Conrad smiled. “Something on us? As if that’s possible. Zayden has never been
anything more than the most useless pawn on the board. What could he possibly have on us?
“Let’s be frank, Jasper. Your true opponent is me.”
At that, Conrad stared at Jasper deeply and chuckled. “You’re the pawn the Law family has been
nurturing in the Mainland, while I’m that of the Langdon family. Zayden is nothing more than a piece of
trash. That’s what he was in the beginning, and that’s what he will always be.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone so proud of the fact that they’re someone else’s pawn,” Jasper
commented with a shrug.
“Haha, and yet that is the truth, is it not?”
Conrad pointed at Jasper and then at himself.
“We’re all climbing upwards, all of us. But the only difference between us and everyone else is that
while they’re still climbing at the starting point, we’ve already reached a specific height.”
