“Money isn’t a problem. I don’t think I need to go in-depth about this. You can just ask Julian.
“Not only does he have a high income, but his income is also considered the highest in the country.”
Jasper took his time to peel the crayfish, eating one by himself and feeding another to Wendy.
Jasper noticed something with his keen senses.
Fallon’s eyes would flash whenever he fed Wendy.
Jasper was fascinated by the discovery.
“Likewise, I’m a businessman, and for every penny I pay, I expect a return of equal value. Therefore, I’d like to know how capable you are.”
Fallon crossed her arms and smirked smugly, saying, “Don’t worry about that. Julian has never won against me until I turned 20.”
“Does that mean that your abilities began to decline after you turned 20 years old?” Jasper asked sharply.
Fallon’s expression turned stiff as she complained, “That’s the physiological gap between men and women. Do you actually think I’d get better the older I am just like in the movies?
“Besides, my abilities aren’t declining. I can remain in tiptop condition for at least another decade. Julian is getting stronger, but even now, he still can’t beat me by too much.”
Julian scratched his head after hearing what she said. He said to Jasper, “What she said is right, Jasper. Even now, I’m not entirely sure I can beat her.”
Jasper nodded and said, “In that case, your skills and abilities have passed the requirement. Most importantly, I’m getting Wendy someone that’s trustworthy. You play a crucial role, and her life and safety are in your hands. Do you think you can handle it?”
Fallon said, sounding unconvinced, “I wouldn’t have come if I couldn’t.”
Wendy smiled and said, “Sure, what would you like to ask?”
Fallon said with a frown, “I’m a really casual person, and I certainly can’t take care of you all the time. Besides, I’m only responsible for your safety, so you can’t order me around like I’m your servant.”
Wendy nodded and said, “Yeap, that’s what I want.”
Fallon said with a smile, “You’re so much easier to talk to than him and much more pleasing to the eye.”
Wendy noticed Fallon’s eyes glowing when she stared at her and felt uneasy. She subconsciously leaned toward Jasper.
“To be honest, I have a pretty simple work-life schedule. I’ll either be at the company or at home. I don’t have anything in particular to do as well, so this is going to be quite an easy job for you. Besides, I don’t think I’ll be attacked every day.”
