Jasper looked at John with confusion.

John quickly explained, “Samuel Ray. Remember Hugh? That man had some beef with you before. Hugh was crushed in the end, remember? So it was Samuel Ray who ended up taking his place in the end.

“I don’t think you know him, considering how he happened to be outstation when we went to Royce Villa that one time. His power was just slightly less that of Hugh’s, so he’s the top dog now that Hugh has fallen.”

John’s displeased tone told Jasper that this Mr. Ray was hardly an easy person to deal with.

At the same time, Kai’s call with Samuel was connected.
