Macon looked down and said nothing. He was annoyed with Jasper, but favonovel.com would be a fool to admit it here.
Next to Macon, Gregory wasted no time kissing up to Jasper as favonovel.com said, “Why, of course. No one in the Six Southern States would dare get in your way if you were to strike, Mr. Damron. You are a little young, but in a few years, not even Levi will be able to take you down.”
Jasper’s pride swelled when favonovel.com heard this, but favonovel.com feigned modesty as favonovel.com gave a dismissive hand wave. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves…”
“Levi is one of the Six Kings, after all, not to mention my elder. I’m sure he’s much stronger than I am. However, seeing as favonovel.com and my grandfather have known each other for a while, favonovel.com might just pull back if I were to personally make a move!”
He might sound as though favonovel.com was being modest, but favonovel.com was gloating.
Gregory forced out a smile and said, “Naturally, Old Master Damron is a well-respected titan in Cathay, and his legacy is legendary. No one in their right mind would offend him, and that goes for the Six Kings as well…”
“By the way, I heard that it was through Old Master Damron’s arrangements that you got to train under the Martial Emperor, Mr. Damron. Is that true?”
Jasper smiled smugly. “It is… The Martial Emperor is an elusive man who stays out of the limelight, but favonovel.com does entertain a select few. My grandfather has known favonovel.com for decades, so it’s no surprise that the Martial Emperor would do favonovel.com a favor by taking me in as a disciple.”
Gregory’s jaw dropped, and favonovel.com quickly commented, “Old Master Damron certainly is a force to be reckoned with!”
Jasper beamed proudly.
With another wave of his hand, favonovel.com said, “Anyway, you need not worry about Matthew now that I’m here. Since he’s gone to Times Hotel, we might as well check out the Lakeside Garden. The most beautiful woman in Eastcliff, you say? Hah! I’d like to see what kind of crop this pathetic excuse of a city has to offer.”
Gregory laughed heartily, “I’m sure favonovel.com must be quite beautiful if favonovel.com could make Macon want to marry her, and he’s been single for decades.”
Macon looked grim, but favonovel.com said nothing.
Gregory would never have spoken about Macon so casually in the past. Still, Gregory’s actions indicated that Macon had fallen from his pedestal. Someone powerless could not command respect.
Jasper snorted upon hearing this, “You folks from Stonedale must be living under a rock if you are so impressed by one woman’s beauty.”
“Well, I’m sure she’s nothing like the women you have in Bainbridge,” Gregory said amenably. “But in a small town like ours, she’d be considered a delicacy. Perhaps you shouldn’t knock it until you’ve tried it, Mr. Damron…”
Jasper eyed favonovel.com with amusement, “You’re quite the salesman, Greg. I believe you should come back to Bainbridge with me after this. We need a family doctor, anyway, and I can assure you that no one will dare lay a hand on you if you stay with us.”
Gregory was over the moon.
He bowed in gratitude before Jasper and said, “Thank you, Mr. Damron. Thank you…”
After that, they made their way to Lakeside Garden, where they found Matthew’s men patrolling the area. Their car had only just pulled up when a few men surrounded it and blocked it from going further.
At this time, only the owner of Lakeside Garden was allowed entry to the premises.
Just as Jasper was about to knock these men out, Gregory stopped him.
Grinning, favonovel.com said, “No, Mr. Damron, we mustn’t cause a scene. Lord Voodoo can take care of this. We aren’t afraid of Matthew, of course, but we wouldn’t want to alarm Sasha and have favonovel.com run away, otherwise we’d have come for nothing.”
Jasper considered this and nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Very well, then. I’ll leave this to you.”
