Life at The Top novel Chapter 1068

“Have you seen whalers at sea?”

Fabian patted Conrad’s shoulder and continued meaningfully, “Whalers first find the whale, then follow it until it grows tired. They attack the moment it gets distracted.

“Whalers only get one chance to attack, because the moment they fail, an irked whale will capsize the entire boat and flee into the deep waters.

“We’re like whalers. The moment we attack, we aim to kill.

“I know of the processes and plans that you’ve used against Jasper before. You made the mistake of being too careful with all sorts of buildup and traps, but they all proved to be useless. Rather, you’ve only caused him to be wary of you.

“Hence, there are only two steps to my attack. The first, I hit his confidence hard. Then, I’ll follow it with the ultimate move right after. After all that, it’ll be time for us to taste the fruits of victory.”

Conrad fell deep in thought when he heard Fabian.

After a long while, he nodded. “Perhaps you’re right.”

“Then I look forward to working with you, hahaha.”

…

Waterhoof City, at the beach.

Jasper frowned as he aimlessly walked along the landscape route with Henry following beside him blankly.

The latter would glance at Jasper from time to time, yet, Henry did not disturb him when he saw that the other was still thinking.

He was used to Jasper’s occasional strange expressions, since the man always managed to find a lead within a messy haystack of clues. This was something Henry could never come up with no matter how hard he wracked his brain.

“Henry, did Fabian leave Harbor City recently?” Jasper asked.

“I don’t think so.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen you so cautious about someone. Does he worry you?” Henry joked.

Henry had always thought that Jasper would be able to solve any complicated issue or person easily from how the latter always acted. However, this was the first time Henry had seen such a conflicted expression on Jasper’s face.

“Do I look like a god to you?”

Jasper glared at Henry. “The last thing this world lacks are capable people. If I can’t understand that, then death is right around the corner.

“I may never have met Fabian, but do you know what he reminds me of?”

Henry shook his head. As a qualified supporter, he asked cooperatively, “What does he remind you of?”

“A venomous snake.”

“What’s the point of those conferences anyway? They’re so boring. Just a group of crafty old people trying to get rid of each other, while each smiling brighter than the last as they show off.” Henry pouted.

“Boring? Other conferences might be boring, but I promise that this one won’t be.

“Are you coming or not? I’ll give you the identity of a special guest if you are.”

Henry nodded and replied, “Sure. Not like there’s anything I need to do in two day’s time anyway. I sure hope some stupid f*cker appear so I can bully him.”

Jasper thought back to Dudley, whom he had met today, and chuckled. “There might just be one.”

Henry’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Can I f*ck with him if one appears?”

“Go wild.”

Jasper patted Henry on the shoulders. “This is one of the reasons why I invited you. You’re the best when it comes to being as cruel as possible, and I’ll also need you to test out their reactions to some things. If all goes according to plan, we might be able to prove quite a lot.”

“Alright. Don’t tell me all this as I won’t understand you anyway. But if I can screw with someone then that’s good enough. I’ve never stepped over any trust-fund children here in Waterhoof City before, so I wonder how it feels. Hahaha.”

“He’s from the Teo Chamber of Commerce, not Waterhoof City.”

“Doesn’t matter! They’re all the same to me.”
