With lying out of the picture, a terrifying idea came to Adbul’s mind. Just who was Jasper Laine, and how can he do things that no ordinary human can? Not even the Qari government had immediate updates about everything its people did.Abdul initially thought that Jasper was a mole that the Elvis family had planted in the Kurt clan, and while that would allow Jasper to know what the Kurt family was doing, ‘every move’ was definitely an exaggeration. However, from their conversation earlier, it seemed like not only was there no exaggeration, but Jasper had been humble about the extent of the information he was privy to. If Kimbra wanted to meet Sahar’s wife, he would have to do it in an extremely secretive area, not somewhere a mole could possibly know about.After all, it would be detrimental to everyone involved, and the clan would split if word got out.Also, from what Abdul saw, Jasper watched the surveillance cameras live. There was no doubting the timing or accuracy of J

Abdul finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.“Mr. Jasper, you shocked me just now. I was even thinking if I thought too highly of myself when I came to you asking to work together.“After all, only nations can control this kind of power.”‘Well, you’re right. This is indeed a power that only nations can control, and that nation is the United States.‘It’s just that I’ve taken over during this period,’ Jasper thought.While Jasper secretly complained to himself, he did not forget the most important thing.“Alright, you shouldn’t doubt my strength now, right, Mr. Abdul?”Abdul nodded. “Yes, I have always trusted you.“It’s just… I’m still shocked after hearing the truth, but I believe our next cooperation will go smoothly.”Abdul said he was relieved, but his fear of Jasper only increased.He did not doubt Jasper. At the same time, he also believed that Jasper could not keep monitoring 24/7.On the contrary, if Jasper said he could, he would doubt whether his ch

To be honest, the old Jasper would definitely agree when he heard this because this was so tempting.This not only represented great wealth but also represented a privilege to be the guest of the most powerful people in the world.More importantly, this was not just for Jasper.Even if Jasper did not use this himself, he could lease it out to a country.However, Jasper wanted more than that.Abdul was waiting expectantly for Jasper’s answer. He believed that Jasper would not refuse such an offer.However, after he heard what Jasper said, the smile froze on his face.“This is indeed a good price, but this is the decision of the patriarch.“But… Mr. Abdul, can you decide for Baltimore?”Abdul was silent.Jasper had stuck his sore spot.Even though Abdul felt that Baltimore would surely agree to this based on his understanding of him, the problem was that no matter how sure he was, he was not Baltimore.“Mr. Jasper, you are right. I really can’t make this decision.“However,

Abdul finally figured out what price he could offer.The answer was…“Do you want me to use the processing plant in exchange for this?”Abdul’s joyful voice turned serious.He could not think of anything else that Jasper might be interested in.Jasper nodded. “I am indeed very interested in Gruel Processing Plant. Although it is only one of the many processing plants the Kurts own, its value is far greater in terms of talent and production capacity. It’s not as simple as just one processing plant.”“I’m sorry, I can’t say yes to that.“I really want to rescue Baltimore, but if I need to exchange it for benefits related to the fate of the family, I’m sorry, but I can’t do it.“Everyone has seen that the processing plant is the lifeblood of our family. If we didn’t still have the processing plant when the Elvis family was causing trouble for us, I’m afraid we would be doomed by now.“If it’s something else, such as joint exploration of oil fields or something like that, I think

“Mr. Jasper, I have to say that your offer is tempting.“We are indeed having a difficult time with cash flow, but I really can’t imagine why you want to invest in our processing plant.“After all, the profit is not high now, and its value does not lie in how much money it can make for us but in preventing us from getting stuck in times of crisis.“So, we generally don’t accept the involvement of other capital in an industry like this, especially when this capital may threaten our control.”Abdul's voice sounded neither overly submissive nor arrogant.Even though he was looking forward to Jasper’s help, he knew he could not give in on this issue.This kind of thing was always a step-by-step concession, and he must never set a precedent.“Mr. Abdul, you misunderstood. I am not very interested in taking control of your processing plant, and of course, I don’t care about profits.“I’m not a fool, so naturally, I have my own reasons for investing. I can’t tell you the specific deta

“Peanuts?”Abdul was confused.As a family of oil tycoons, they were far less sensitive to money than others, but they were not insular, so they still had a concept of money.In this era, tens of billions were no longer peanuts.If someone could call that amount peanuts, his actual wealth must be far more than this amount.This meant that Jasper was likely to be in the top 100 or even the top 50 richest people in the world.The top 100, or even the top 50, among the world's billions!Even if this numerical ranking didn't accurately represent his actual financial status, and some genuinely wealthy families might purposely hide their wealth and intimidate those who try to list them, having so much money was impressive no matter what.“Mr. Jasper, I am starting to doubt your background now.”Now that they had decided on a price, Abdul relaxed a little and started gossiping as he was curious about Jasper’s methods.He had previously hoped that Jasper could help them rescue Baltim

No wonder Abdul was so excited.The complicated relationship between the Kurt and Elvis family had always been a thorn in the side of both patriarchs.Two large families occupied each end of Qari’s oil industry.The Kurt family owned half of the oil fields in Qari, while the Elvis family had a monopoly on oil processing in Qari.They needed each other, but at the same time, they feared each other. Hence, they were always maintaining a dangerous balance.So over the years, both the Elvis and the Kurt families had been secretly looking for alternatives, whether it was other partners or privately dabbling in some industries that the other party was good at.From a certain perspective, there were other major oilfield forces and large processing plants in Qari because these two companies held each other back.After all, in business, excessive dependence meant excessive risks.However, although the rifts had always existed, there was a balance due to the good relationship between the

“Of course, I didn’t get my confidence from the Elvis family.”Abdul was stunned.“This is not their idea, then you...”Abdul would have been screaming curses at him if it were someone else and not Jasper.He might even feel that the other person was taking him as a fool.After all, sincere cooperation between the two companies was needed on such a huge thing.However, judging from Jasper’s attitude, it seemed that the Elvis family had no idea about this yet.So, how was he so confident?Then, what Jasper said shocked him again.Abdul’s face was filled with horror.“Mr. Jasper, I have never thought about what you said, but… Is this really possible?“If you can do all this, I will have to admit that the dream you painted for me just now can indeed come true.“But even if you do the other steps well, how can you ensure that other countries won’t interfere?“After all… Even if the United States ends up stationing its troops here, it can’t have total control of this organizati
