After exchanging some conventional greetings with the person in charge of the auction over the phone, Jasper finally ended the call.“When are you going to visit the Laws?” Dawson asked.“It’s better now than never.”Jasper pondered for a while. “They’ve shown enough sincerity, after all, so I’d better go over and do something as soon as possible.”…In the presidential suite of Sheraton, Jasper met Zachary once again.“Mr. Law.” When Jasper saw Zachary walking out of the room, he got up and greeted him.Zachary smiled and gestured to Jasper to sit. Then, he said, “Young man, we’re going back to Harbor City tomorrow.”Jasper asked, “Has the investment agreement been confirmed?”“If you’re the one with the land development rights, then yes, it has,” Zachary said with a grin.Jasper said sincerely, “Thank you for your help, Mr. Law.”“This is not even me helping you out. The situation in Mainland is not the same as in Harbor City. Even though we’ve invested here before, the ce

“As the younger generation, it’s my pleasure. When I get to Harbor City, I will definitely get in contact with you, Mr. Law,” Jasper said and smiled.Zachary said in a forthright manner, “If you don’t come to find me, I’ll get someone to kidnap you and bring you to me. After all, you’ve promised that you’ll make money for us.”After some conventional greetings, Jasper got up to leave.The moment he got out of Zachary’s room, he ran into Henry and Anna.“Damn it, why did I run into this Mainlander?”When Henry saw Jasper, his face darkened and he wanted to turn around to leave.“Stop.”Anna’s word caused Henry to stop as if his feet had been nailed to the floor.“How many times have I told you to respect the people from Mainland now that we’re here? It’s easy to offend them by calling them Mainlander, don’t you know that?” Anna lectured.Henry said impatiently, “I just blurted it out. I don’t mean it that way.”“How would they know if you don’t mean it that way? Apologize righ

After all, some time ago when he started causing trouble outside and did not dare to tell his parents about it, his sister had always been the one to help him take care of those matters.Sometimes, he would wonder if she was the elder sister and he was her younger brother.…Everything in the province was basically completed, and now, what was left would be given to the subordinates to handle. Of course, Dawson would arrange for all of these.As such, Jasper brought Wendy back to the city.It had been a while since they came back. The moment Jasper and Wendy stepped through the door, they heard Jasper’s mother, Sally, nagging at them.“Even if you’re busy, you have to rest and eat well. Where did you two go these few days? I saw that the lights in the house you’re living in next door were turned off at night. I didn’t see you two as well.”“We were in the province these few days. We were with Wendy’s father.” Jasper took off his coat and hung it on the rack while replying.“You

“Tell me, I’m listening. Let me know what’s going on,” Jasper said while sitting down.John rubbed his face and started to tell Jasper what had happened to him during this period.Gradually, Jasper understood what was going on.The trouble John had run into was indeed directly related to him.Although Jasper had won a huge amount of money after the fight with Hugh in Royce Villa, Hugh never planned to let this matter go so easily.However, after that incident, Jasper was either in the province or Cavern City, so Hugh could not find a chance to seek revenge on him.As such, Hugh, who had lost 50 million dollars, then channeled all of his anger and desire to seek vengeance on John, who was closest with Jasper.Even though John also belonged to the circle, at the end of the day, he was just a president of Commercial Bank’s district branch. He still depended on his salary for his living.Normally, when the firms wanted to take loans, they would need to see if he was in a good mood.

“Are you…” John looked blankly at Jasper as if he knew what he was thinking about.“Hehe, do you think someone like Hugh would have a clean background?” Jasper smiled indifferently. Then, the two of them went to the Securities Commission.As for why they went there, only they and the president of the Securities Commission would know!…The next day in John’s office.Two young people who had just stepped into the real world were shaking in fear.It was obviously their first time in the president’s office and doing personal matters for the president. Damn it, they were being favored by the president now…“Do you remember now?”John’s expression looked solemn.“The account and target shares have been given to you two. When the trading commences in the afternoon, go in and immediately hammer the market. Hammer it as low as you can.”The two young people nodded in haste. “Don’t worry, sir. This is easy, so we’ll definitely do well.”“However, since we’re going to hammer the marke

However, Jasper was not scared at all. He walked straight to the private room without glancing sideways.Behind Jasper, John’s face was pale. He kept swallowing his saliva and did not dare to look at the thugs on both sides.When they got to the door of the private room, John, who wanted so badly to run away from this corridor, took the initiative to grab the doorknob.With a smack, one of the men who looked like the leader of the thugs smacked John’s hand away.“Mr. Lewis said you have to kneel and crawl into the room if you want to go in!”The head of the thugs had a buzzcut and was showing off the sinister-looking tattoos all over his arms. He snickered, and his eyes were filled with sinister glints.John was shaking from anger. However, he did not dare to say anything, so he turned his eyes to Jasper.Jasper glanced at the head of the thugs and increased the volume of his voice to say to the person behind the door, “Hugh, is this how you treat your guests?”The private room

Gulp.That was the sound of John swallowing his saliva with difficulty.At this moment, the air in the private room was extremely tense.It felt as if everyone had been set firmly in place with glue. Nobody dared to do or say anything.John was seriously scared.He was scared that Hugh would be completely infuriated and do something irrational.This place was filled with Hugh’s men, and if he really were to go insane, nobody would guarantee what would happen to Jasper and him.“Heh!”When everyone was holding their breath and did not dare to exhale, Hugh made this sound from his throat.It sounded like a laugh, but since it was too short and cold, nobody felt any benevolence from it.“Jasper, nobody dares to be impudent in front of me. Meanwhile, you have completely enraged me.”While he said that, Hugh stared fixedly at Jasper with his eyes glinting in a hostile manner.“I’ll let you guess if I have the guts to call a few of my men in here, pluck the nerves of your hands a

“Were you the one who caused Zoni to plummet ten minutes after the trading commenced?”Hugh’s furious roars caused everyone’s expressions to change.“Zoni? The one where Lantern Capital is the dealer and has the main holding shares?”“I heard in order to make back the 50 million loss, Hugh put all of his money in it.”“How could it have plummeted? Even though Zoni doesn’t have a huge market, it’s impossible to control the price without a few billion dollars.”“My gosh, they’re seriously taking drastic measures to deal with a situation.”The crowd who did not dare to speak because of Hugh were now like cats on a hot tin roof. All of their expressions started to change.Suddenly, John was no longer panicking in the crowd.He even took out a cigarette and lighted it before taking a puff happily.Looking at the crowd around the table who were overwhelmed with shock, horror, or amazement, John suddenly wanted to laugh. He wanted to laugh at all of them.These people had no idea ho
