As expected, the celebratory banquet for gaining the right to host the Olympics had become a large
event involving the entire country.
Entertainment, for citizens right now, was a far cry from the diverse options that would appear in the
future. All they had were a few ways to have fun here and there.
The nightlife was mainly dancing at the disco or eating and drinking beer by barbeque stalls. Some
larger cities might have karaoke rooms and people would drop by to sing a few songs.
That was all.
Thus, the moment news of the banquet was released, it instantly became a household topic within the
country considering its link to the approval to host the Olympics.
Its influence could be considered second to only the annual New Year’s Eve countdown on national
television.
Still, the countdown was annual, but there was only ever this one celebratory banquet for having
gained the right to host the Olympics.
It made the banquet much more special.
The following day, Jasper and Henry arrived at the airport together.
All the guests from Harbor City would be arriving at Swallow Capital today, so Jasper definitely had to
pick them up.
However, Jasper was not the focus when he arrived at the airport.
Considering all four rich families would be arriving together, including a formidable senior like Old
Master Law, Swallow Capital immediately resolved to give the highest standard of welcome once they
got wind of it.
Disregarding the rest of the welcoming team, the mere fact that both Swallow Capital’s mayor and
deputy mayor were present meant that Jasper had to stand aside.
However, no one present was taking him lightly either. After all, the higher-ups were well aware that
Harbor City’s four major families and its top rich businessmen were here not for them but for Jasper.
Jasper had done something in Harbor City, and it was hardly a secret to the higher-ups.
As such, Jasper’s arrival was also met with the mayor and his deputy’s enthusiastic greetings.
As Old Master Law’s grandson, Henry naturally joined in the conversations with a few of the big shots
there.
“Jesus, just look at how enthusiastic they are with you. I’d say they all look like they want to lock you up
in a little cage.”
Henry spoke enviously when the two returned.
Jasper did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “What does locking me in a cage have anything to do
with them being enthusiastic?”
“They’ll lock you up so you’d work with them, of course! They’ve realized your capabilities and your
influence,” Henry explained.
Jasper smiled, but there was no shift in his expression when he replied, “They’re here because it’s your
grandfather they’re welcoming. There’s no way I’d be able to speak to such big shots if I was on my
own.”
Henry looked at Jasper’s calm expression and grinned. “Sometimes I really wonder if you’re a wise old
man who has reincarnated into our timeline. We’re both youths, so how are you so outstanding, hmm?”
Henry would never have expected that a mere joke of his was actually the truth. Sure, Jasper was
physically in his 20s, but his soul was of a wise old man who had experienced more than half a lifetime
of events.
Less than ten minutes later, the special plane landed on the tarmac. Jasper and Henry followed behind
the two major figures and were followed by the welcoming group.
With Old Master Law in front, the other heads of the four major families walked down the staircase.
Swallow Capital’s two mayors stepped up to welcome them, enthusiastically greeting Old Master Law.
Despite this being the first time everyone was meeting each other, the older generation seemed to
have a tacit understanding to all act like old friends and began to chat about.
Old Master Law excused himself and walked over to Jasper, patting his shoulder in an extremely
familiar way. “We meet again, Jasper.”
Jasper greeted him politely. “I’m thrilled to see you still as bright and lively as the last time we met, Old
Master.”
The old master chuckled aloud. “It’s still too early for me to rest when I see the citizens living better
lives and our nation’s strength and influence growing each day.”
