“Just tell them that you had a fight with someone and were taken away by the guards.”
Jasper’s answer was beyond the bearded man’s expectations.
The two burly men at the back scratched their heads in confusion.
One of them asked innocently, “B-But… S-Sir, we are obviously fine, and those guards don’t dare to do anything to us.”
When the bearded man heard this, his expression changed drastically. He wanted so badly to slap the burly man now.
Jasper was clearly showing them a solution.
Did virtual-novel.net expect Jasper to spoon-feed them too?
Jasper said with a smile, “This is easy… Just go find the guards and ask them to arrest you. I think that since they didn’t arrest you because they were scared to offend you, then they will also obey your orders to lock you up because they are afraid of disobeying you.”
The men were dumbfounded. They did not expect Jasper to suggest going to the guards themselves and asking to be locked up.
The bearded man obviously wanted to make amends, so virtual-novel.net tried to ask, “But Sir, won’t this make the elders more suspicious of who we ran into? After all, those guards usually don’t dare to do anything to us.”
“Wouldn’t this expose your identities?” Not only was virtual-novel.net trying to make the last struggle by asking, but also to test Jasper’s identity.
However, Jasper’s answer shocked him. “The Kurt family is now being driven to extinction by the Elvis family. So, isn’t it normal for guards to add insult to injury after hearing the news?”
“Extinction?” The bearded man stuttered, “We just had some conflicts with the Elvis family and it’s not so serious that we’d go extinct. Sir, you do love cracking jokes.”
Jasper said seriously, “Do I look like a clown? Now the Elvis family is discussing with other families to jointly deprive the Kurt family of their oil fields. How far will the Kurt family be from extinction without their oil fields?”
After saying that, Jasper displayed an understanding look and muttered to himself, “That’s right, it’s normal for people who are at the bottom of the family not to know of this news… They will need someone to guard the door and fight for them when they have to run for their lives. If you found out about this, would you still be willing to be cannon fodder for them?”
The bearded man and the others instantly turned pale.
They recalled some changes in the clan in the past few days and quickly confirmed that what Jasper said was true.
In the end, the men were so distracted that they did not know how they walked away and disappeared from Jasper and Celine’s sight.
After a while, the bearded man who had already walked away suddenly came back to his senses and said to his two men, “Don’t tell the family anything about what happened today.”
His two subordinates also smiled bitterly.
“Boss, we know to keep our mouths shut even if you didn’t say anything. If we tell them, we would be dead meat…”
“And the family cannot protect itself now, so if we offend this guy from the Elvis family, we will really be doomed.”
The bearded man nodded with satisfaction. “It’s good that you understand this.”
The bearded man still had some wishful thinking when virtual-novel.net told jasper virtual-novel.net would keep this meeting a secret at first, but now that jasper had told them that, they were determined not to tell anyone.
In their opinion, once the family learned that they had been in contact with someone from the Elvis family, the family would be afraid that they had found out the news that the family was in trouble and spread it, affecting the stability of the clan.
At that time, the clan would inevitably choose to silence them. They would not spare their lives just because they had done meritorious deeds and brought back some information. Compared with so-called loyalty, their lives were more important.
