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 quicklymented, "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."


    Gregoryughed 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 notmand 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 shoulde back to


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


    darey a hand on you if you stay with us."


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

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