Jasper immediately raised his guard when he heard Gale say this.
“Do tell, Old Master Hurlbutt. I’m listening,” Jasper spoke.
Glare harrumphed when he heard Jasper clench his jaw but not promise to deal with the matter.
Any of his countless students in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce at this moment would be
promising and swearing on their lives to deal with the matter well if he gave them the chance to work
for him.
Yet, Jasper always acted as if Gale was ready to hurt him at any given time.
“An asset forum conference will be held in two days and I need you to attend it as the Haddock
Chamber of Commerce’s representative,” Gale went straight to the point.
“The Teo Chamber of Commerce is holding the conference. Though based over at Cavern City, they
decided to hold the conference in Waterhoof City, in Haddock’s Chamber of Commerce’s territory. They
even sent invitations with great fanfare.
“That is why the Waterhoof City Branch will have to send out someone powerful to represent us.”
“However, there is no one suitable for the role over at the branch. I have given it some thought and you
are the only one who can do it.”
Jasper frowned slightly at Gale’s words.
“Old Master Hurlbutt, I made it clear when I agreed to take the role as Vice President of the Chamber.
I’m just here in name and I won’t interfere or participate in any of the specific businesses of the
Chamber. I’m not a businessperson from Haddock, after all. It wouldn’t be right of me to attend this
conference.
“This asset forum conference is essentially a fight between the Teo and Haddock Chambers of
Commerce, it wouldn’t be suitable for a youth like me to join in.”
Gale seemed to have anticipated Jasper’s rejection and answered calmly, “You also agreed that you
would take on the responsibility and work of a Vice President of the Chamber. I would not have asked
you to assume the position otherwise.
“The only reason why the Teo Chamber of Commerce would dare to hold an asset forum conference in
Waterhoof City is because they realized that the Haddock Chamber of Commerce is currently left
without a strong leader.
“I am already old and there is only a handful of successful ones in the next generation, none of which
are in Waterhoof City. Meanwhile, the generation after that has yet to grow up and establish
themselves.
“A fight between chambers of commerce is large and it involves the interests of countless people. This
is why the Waterhoof City Branch must send someone to attend, and the representative must win as
well. You are the only one suited for the job.”
Jasper did not want to charge into this battle as Gale’s pawn, so he wanted to reject him immediately.
However, Gale continued before Jasper could speak.
“I’ll owe you a favor after this.”
Jasper immediately changed his mind after this.
Gale was a crafty man, but he kept his promises. This was evident from the situation with the Hull
family.
Gale had helped the man even though it risked others mocking him for shamelessly bullying someone
weaker.
All because he owed that family a favor.
During crucial times, a favor from someone like Gale could result in unexpected outcomes.
“I can go and do my part, but I have a small request. The Waterhoof City branch is not to cause me any
more problems in the future,” Jasper spoke.
Jasper did not forget that after getting rid of the Hull family, Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s
Waterhoof City Branch still had the Gardner family lying in wait.
Over there, Norman had assumed the position of president.
“Alright,” Gale understood what Jasper was implying and replied calmly, “Whoever causes trouble you
from now on will also be causing trouble to me.”
“I’m relieved to hear that, Old Master Hurlbutt,” Jasper smiled.
“Hmph. It won’t be easy owning a favor from me, sly child. I’ll have the branch send you information
about the asset forum conference later. Treat it seriously, or I won’t be the only one in despair. You’d be
making a fool out of yourself too.”
