Jasper was unsurprised by Zachary’s reaction.
Even he was certain that Henry did not kill anyone, let alone someone in the Law family.
As parents, they would know their own child’s character best.
It was also expected that the Law family would do everything to protect Henry.
Not to mention that the situation had not even been investigated yet. With how the Law family were, there was no way they would just stand and watch as Henry was put behind bars.
Prince, who watched and heard Jasper’s conversation with the Law family, was in a horrid mood right now. He did not expect Jasper and Zachary to be so headstrong and willing to start a huge war with the entirety of Clear Seas over this.
Prince stared at Jasper, the corner of his lips twitching, and said resentfully, “And you’re so confident that you’ll win, Jasper? Clear Seas is much more powerful than you could ever imagine!”
“I know.”
Jasper replied immediately.
As one of the earliest and biggest privately-owned capitals, there was no doubt that Clear Seas was extremely strong in terms of their capital or any other aspects.
“But so what?”
Jasper looked at Prince and said coldly.
“Timothy is nothing more than just another weapon against me. The moment you decided to join in was when you became a mere weapon too. Don’t you get it?”
“I might not be some wealthy or renowned family, but I have my limits. You can pick a fight with me but I will not allow you to use the people around me as a bargaining chip to threaten me. Or else, what’s the point of me making so much money and establishing so many companies?!”
“If you’re so willing to be someone else’s pawn, then I’ll just eat you and move on. So what if it’s Clear Seas I’m dealing with? So what if it’s Fabian Atticus?”
