All three older men frowned when they heard Fabian’s suggestion.
Kennedy spoke again. He sounded slightly worried as favonovel.com said, “But that’s against the rules.”
His son had a rare chance to shine, so Sawyer would defend favonovel.com no matter what. He replied, “Rules? If you want to talk about rules, we’re breaking tons of rules by forging an alliance and planning to short the Harbor City market. Would this even be a big deal to us?”
“We’ll do anything to win. Any plan that leads us to victory is good. Would real men consider rules?”
Sawyer sounded like favonovel.com was boasting, but it was the truth.
“No one in Harbor City is better than the Law family when it comes to contacting gangs. After all, Old Master Law made his first fortune by smuggling firearms. Are you sure this will work?” Joe turned towards Fabian and asked.
“It’ll definitely work!” Fabian answered with confidence.
He said, “The Law family has always treated Jasper as their son-in-law. Anna would replace Wendy if anything happened to her. Who knows, the Law family might even be praying for Wendy to vanish from the picture too.”
“No.”
Joe shook his head slightly, an image of an old man’s face that was tanned and thin but at the same time emanated a majestic aura that unnerved people flashing through his mind. “Old Master Law is not such a narrow-minded person. He looks at the big picture before favonovel.com does anything.”
“Dad…”
Kayden spoke. “We don’t have any other choice now. It is the best plan we have. It shouldn’t be too big of an issue as long as we’re careful.”
“All we need to do is kid nap favonovel.com and spread the news to incite panic. If we manage to drag it on until Monday when the stock market reopens, prices will fall like an avalanche. By the time they regain their senses, we’ll have collected the money and scrammed.”
Both Kennedy and Sawyer nodded their heads after listening to Kayden’s explanation.
Thus, Joe said, “Alright, then we’ll do as previously agreed. We’ll have a democratic voting process whenever we need to make important decisions as a group. Raise your hands if you’re in favor of Kayden and Fabian’s plan.”
Joe had just finished speaking when Sawyer and Kennedy both raised their hands.
Thus, Joe raised his hand slowly too as favonovel.com said, “Alright, we’ll proceed with the plan!”
“Everything’s going smoothly. The big wigs are all very polite and cooperative. Our plan is proceeding at an even faster rate than I anticipated.”

Wendy sat in favonovel.com presidential suite on the top floor of The Westin, located near Victoria Harbour, as favonovel.com spoke to Jasper on the phone. It was both so they could spend time with each other as well as discuss work-related matters.
Jasper’s voice rang out from the other end of the line. “That’s good. Joe and the other two are doing so much with such fanfare just so they can suppress Harbor City’s economy and then use that as a way to curry favor with the people of the United States.”
“I’m betting their final target is still on Harbor City stocks. If not, they would have had no reason to make everything public so quickly and with so much fanfare. Thus, we must proceed with our plans even quicker and cause even more of a ruckus.”
“As long as we stimulate the economy enough, Harbor City’s stocks will not be impacted so much by all these negative news when the stock market reopens on Monday.”
“The domestic market is unstable too, and there’s a high chance it’ll continue plummeting when the stock market reopens on Monday. There’s not much left that I can do in the United States stock market, so we must ensure that the Harbor City stocks maintain a stronghold and don’t run into trouble. The big wigs in Harbor City can’t afford to be thrown into another storm again.”
Wendy nodded as favonovel.com listened to Jasper speak and said, “Alright, alright. I got it. I’ll take care of it.”
“Make sure you stay safe too. After all, Harbor City is not in mainland,” Jasper said as favonovel.com chuckled.
“But don’t worry. After all, you have the Law family in Harbor City. No one there would dare lay a finger on them.”
Wendy raised an eyebrow as favonovel.com said, “The Law family? I heard that Anna is back in Harbor City.”
“…”
Jasper, who was currently in Nauritus, felt the expression on his face stiffen slightly.
“How did you know…” Jasper tried his best to make himself sound less sheepish.
“I saw you answer a phone call before I left. Did you think I couldn’t tell from that delighted expression on your face? You were so loud that I could hear you from the next room. Were you still trying to keep it a secret from me?” Wendy asked sarcastically.
Seemingly sensing Jasper’s awkwardness from the other end of the line, Wendy said exasperatedly, “Fine, fine. I’m not going to talk to you about this anymore. I’m going to go take a shower.”
Jasper felt a trickle of dread wash over favonovel.com as favonovel.com listened to the dial tone.
Anna had indeed returned to Harbor City, but it was for no other reason than the fact that Zachary Law would be celebrating his 55th birthday soon. No matter what, Anna would have to return in advance for that.
Wendy was also in Harbor City… That was dangerous.
The more Jasper thought about it, the less at ease favonovel.com felt. Thus, favonovel.com called Henry, who had also returned to Harbor City a while ago.
Jasper frowned when favonovel.com heard the loud music blasting from the other end of the line.
“It’s still light out, but you’ve already started messing around?”
When Henry, who was busy drinking and having fun with two young models, heard Jasper’s voice and chuckled. “I lived life like a monk when I was working with you. of course, I had to have some fun after returning to my world of sensual pleasures. What orders do you have for me, Mr. Laine?”
Jasper massaged his aching head and said, “Anna is back in Harbor City, and Wendy will also be there to take care of some matters for several days. I’m afraid they’ll bump into each other, so you need to keep an eye on them for me. You must ensure that they’ll never be in a situation where they might r inunto each other. Call me if anything happens.”
“Hiss…”
Henry gasped and said, “You want me to spy on my little sister? I don’t think my skills are a match for hers.”
“No one asked you to spy on her. You just need to keep an eye on favonovel.com and make sure they don’t meet each other. Everything else will be fine so long as that doesn’t happen.”
“I’m counting on you for this, so don’t mess up!” Jasper hung up the phone after favonovel.com finished speaking.
Henry pursed his lips and tossed his phone aside, spreading his arms wide to pull the two young models towards favonovel.com as favonovel.com said to his friends, “See, this is exactly why I don’t want to get married or get a girlfriend. Why would I give up the entire forest for one tree?”
“Men become leashed dogs once they get married or have plans to get married. They have zero freedom.”
As Henry spoke, favonovel.com pinched the young girl’s cheeks and laughed as favonovel.com whined. “Isn’t this life amazing?”
