Julian asked as he drove.
He knew Jasper had been working on anything major these days, so he would not leave Nauritus City if it was not anything urgent.
Yet, he was suddenly asking to go to the airport to fly to Harbor City in the middle of the night. Something astronomical must have happened.
Judging from Jasper’s expression, Julian, who had been his partner for a very long time realized this matter was not as simple as he initially thought.
“Something bad happened…”
Jasper let out a sigh and said while feeling annoyed, “I dragged Henry into this. If I don’t handle this well, we’ll be in huge trouble.”
Julian was silent for a while before he said, “Jasper, it’ll be fine. You can solve every problem that comes your way.”
“I hope so…” Jasper shook his head and said, “Julian, ask the airport whether the plane is back from Harbor City or not.”
That was right. One hour ago, Jasper’s Gulfstream plane had already departed from Harbor City to come back to Nauritus City’s airport just to ferry Jasper over.
“Okay.”
Julian did not ask or say anything more. He immediately called the airport.
Half an hour later, the Bentley stopped in the parking lot of Nauritus City International Airport. Then, Jasper and Julian headed to the aircraft parking ground through the special VIP lane. They did not even have time to pack a single suitcase. A moment later, they got onto the plane that had been refueled and headed to Harbor City while zooming into the clouds with a loud rumble.
When Jasper’s plane took off, most of normal people were sound asleep. Meanwhile, the upper-class circle in Harbor City was in chaos.
The Law Manor.
Zachary, who rushed back from Auma City sat on the sofa in the middle of the room with no expression on his face. He was slowly smoking a cigar in his hand.
Meanwhile, two men were sitting next to him.
Since Morrie came from the underworld, he was used to fighting and scheming against the others in the dark. The methods those dark entities employed were way worse than what the outside world were aware of, so he clearly understood what the Atticus family was thinking. He immediately knew what they wanted.
“So what? Should we just watch our children get locked up and suffer hardships? Everyone knows that the police chief is Sawyer’s best buddy. Now that the three of them are locked up, how much are they are going to suffer?” Phil said angrily.
Zachary waved his hand and answered, “What are you so scared of? So what if the police chief was raised by Sawyer? Does he dare to kill my son?”
After Zachary said that, Phil did not say anything anymore.
At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. The reason he deliberately behaved so restless back then was to make Zachary say that.
As long as Henry was fine, his son, Alex, would be safe and sound too.
This was how the big shots communicated. Their fights would be hidden in every small detail of conversation.
“Let’s just wait,” Zachary said suddenly.
