Jasper’s last sentence was a very widely used threat before he reincarnated.
That was because of how classic the threat was.
However, in the year 2001, no one said such a thing.
It explained why Dawson almost laughed aloud when he heard Jasper say it.
Even Conrad’s gaze darkened instantly although he had always prided himself for his composure and ability to stay unfazed regardless of the situation.
Despite being enraged, Conrad did not act on the ire he felt and smiled instead.
“Are you trying to provoke me on purpose?”
Conrad stared at Jasper and spoke calmly.
Jasper shook his head and replied sincerely, “You’ve misunderstood. I am merely stating the truth.
“I’m not like other people. Anger will not cause me to lose my rationality. If anything, anger only clears my mind.”
Conrad narrowed his eyes at Jasper coldly and fiercely, but the corner of his lips quirked.
“Because I’m well aware that useless nobodies are unworthy of my anger. Only the truly capable and skilled have the ability to irk me, so whatever you’re playing at? I’m sorry but it’s not going to work.”
With that, Conrad faced Jasper and tapped on his temple before turning to leave.
“Show yourself out, please.”
Jasper had just finished speaking when Conrad closed the door behind him with a bang.
“I had no idea that Kennedy and the others were using Conrad to deal with me before this.”
Dawson fell into thought at Jasper’s words, and his expression turned into an interesting one.
“Unless, this was a diversion?”
Jasper let out a small huff and spoke, “We don’t have enough leads right now, so I can’t predict what his true motive is here.”
“Uncle Schuler, how much do you know about this Conrad or this Monty family? Tell me a little bit more about them. I have no idea who they are at all.”
Hearing Jasper’s words, Dawson smiled. “It makes sense that you wouldn’t know considering how low profile the Monty family is. Not even ordinary people who’ve lived their entire lives in the Southeast Province may know of them either, let alone come in contact with them.
“The founder of the family is Conrad’s grandfather, Austin Monty, but he lived a short life. The current head of the family is Conrad. His father Steven is still alive, he’s just retired. Back then…”
