Chapter 1788

Macon looked down and said nothing. He was annoyed with Jasper, but he would be a fool to admit it

here.

Next to Macon, Gregory wasted no time kissing up to Jasper as he said, "Why, of course. No one in the

Six Southern States would dare get in your way if you were to strike, Mr. Damron. You are a little

young, but in a few years, not even Levi will be able to take you down."

Jasper's pride swelled when he heard this, but he feigned modesty as he gave a dismissive hand

wave. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Levi is one of the Six Kings, after all, not to mention my elder.

I'm sure he's much stronger than I am. However, seeing as he and my grandfather have known each

other for a while, he might just pull back if I were to personally make a move!"

He might sound as though he was being modest, but he was gloating.

Gregory forced out a smile and said, "Naturally. Old Master Damron is a well-respected titan in Cathay,

and his legacy is legendary. No one in their right mind would offend him, and that goes for the Six

Kings as well. By the way, I heard that it was through Old Master Damron's arrangements that you got

to train under the Martial Emperor, Mr. Damron. Is that true?"

Jasper smiled smugly. "It is. The Martial Emperor is an elusive man who stays out of the limelight, but

he does entertain a select few. My grandfather has known him for decades, so it's no surprise that the

Martial Emperor would do him a favor by taking me in as a disciple."

Gregory's jaw dropped, and he quickly commented, "Old Master Damron certainly is a force to be

reckoned with!"

Jasper beamed proudly. With another wave of his hand, he said, "Anyway, you need not worry about

Matthew now that I'm here. Since he's gone to Times Hotel, we might as well check out the Lakeside

Garden. The most beautiful woman in Eastcliff, you say? Hah! I'd like to see what kind of crop this

pathetic excuse of a city has to offer."

Gregory laughed heartily, "I'm sure she must be quite beautiful if she could make Macon want to marry

her—and he's been single for decades."

Macon looked grim, but he said nothing. Gregory would never have spoken about Macon so casually in

the past. Still, Gregory's actions indicated that Macon had fallen from his pedestal. Someone powerless

could not command respect.

Jasper snorted upon hearing this. "You folks from Stonedale must be living under a rock if you are so

impressed by one woman's beauty."

"Well, I'm sure she's nothing like the women you have in Bainbridge," Gregory said amenably. "But in a

small town like ours, she'd be considered a delicacy. Perhaps you shouldn't knock it until you've tried it.

Mr. Damron."

Jasper eyed him with amusement. "You're quite the salesman, Greg. I believe you should come back to

Bainbridge with me after this. We need a family doctor, anyway, and I can assure you that no one will

dare lay a hand on you if you stay with us."

At this time, only the owner of Lakeside Garden was allowed entry to the premises. Reąd at

Jasper considered this and nodded in agreement. "You're right. Very well, then. I'll leave this to you."
