Life at the Top

Norman was stricken by Ian’s words.

“I’ll admit that you have a point, but are you really going to ask Old Master Hurlbutt in Suesville for help just like this?

“This is too unrealistic. Old Master Hurlbutt retired a long time ago. There’s no way he’d help you for such a small issue.”

At that, Ian scoffed. “Of course, there’s no way Old Master Hurlbutt is going to personally lend me a helping hand. What I need is the old master’s influence. I want to gather everyone from the Haddock Chamber of Commerce!”

Ian’s eyes shone as he looked up at Norman. “Under those circumstances, just how difficult could it be to crush Jasper?”

Norman’s expression changed. “Say Old Master Hurlbutt gives the green light and we manage to borrow most of Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s strengths, still… We’re owing too many favors here.”

Ian’s expression turned wretched as he roared, “So what? I don’t care about anything else! I can repay the favors I owe and I can give whatever benefits they want, but there’s no way in hell that I’m going to forgive Jasper without taking revenge!”

No longer recognizing the familiar partner he once knew, Norman sighed.

To be absolutely honest, Norman was beginning to feel afraid considering how Ian’s actions now were detrimental to himself as well.

Sure, they were all businesspeople from Haddock, but Norman was too aware of how the others worked.

Even if Old Master Hurlbutt gave the green light, it was unlikely that the others would do anything unless they were certain of a win.

They were not the kind to do anything without benefits.

As such, it was destined for the Hull family to suffer greatly this time.
