Abdul despised Alimu now.No one could accept being betrayed by someone they trusted.Abdul was certainly no exception.“Okay, in that case, tell me your address, and I’ll send someone over quickly.”Abdul quickly gave his address.Jasper’s expression changed when he saw the address. That was the building where Snow was lurking before.After rescuing Snow last time, that place had suddenly become a restricted area.In a way, the existence of that building was a mockery and an insult to the intelligence agency.Even though there were so many guards, Snow still escaped, not to mention the consequences of his escape.Although the Intelligence Bureau finally found a way to muddle through those leaked videos, it undoubtedly made the intelligence agency very passive.After that, this building became an existence that the intelligence agency’s foreign personnel in Bardot did not want to mention.If it were not for the fact that the American troops had not arrived yet and were worri

“Now that we have settled things with Abdul, can we go directly to the Kurt manor to rescue Baltimore?”Rowan was gearing up. He was very excited.His time in Qari had completely awakened his restless heart.He now felt that the things he used to do in Somerland were just trivial matters.What was the point of just being a hedonist? What was the point of showing off his wealth and pretending to be a poser? It was not as interesting as stirring up trouble in a dangerous place like Qari.This was what men should do!Rowan’s adrenaline started to rise, especially when he thought about the more exciting things he would encounter when he went to the Kurt manor.Of course, the most important thing this time was that he did not need to dress up as a woman.Compared to Rowan’s excitement, Jasper said calmly, “This is not urgent. Before that, we still need to prepare a company and prepare the finishing work in advance.”“Huh? I still have to wait that long?”Rowan was a little disappo

“I can’t tell you about the specifics yet because I still have to confirm some things first.“So, I can only give you a rough idea for now.”Jasper smiled and answered Rowan’s question.“Why are you always hiding from me?”Rowan lowered his head and muttered softly.Jasper raised his eyebrows. “What did you say?”“N-no, I didn’t say anything.”Rowan was shocked and quickly explained.After these days of getting along, Rowan became more and more in awe of Jasper.Rowan admired Jasper back then, but now, he worshiped him.In Somerland, even though everyone was working in Lane Automotive together, what Rowan saw at that time was more of Jasper’s talent in business.Genius-like business ability was rare for children of rich families, but it would not be shocking.After all, a family that could develop to that level would never lack business geniuses.Even if they did not appear in this generation, at least the generation that founded the family must have someone outstanding am

“A securities company?” Rowan was confused. He might be spoilt, but that did not mean he knew nothing about business. Coming from an aristocratic family meant that he and the other trust-fund children of his generation had access to a much better education than ordinary individuals.Especially in terms of business, since it was everywhere in their environment. They were bound to pick up on useful business knowledge. Rowan was ambitious too, for he would not have started a business in something as unprofitable as automobiles alone. He had done a little background search on his uncle’s companies in Qari before he came over.Initially, he thought that by coming to Qari, he would be taking over some of his uncle’s business. Even if Jasper had made Qari his business empire, Rowan would still have his uncle’s business to rely on. Only to know now that Jasper’s ideal was way beyond his imagination, and his uncle’s businesses seemed so small in comparison.Among Rowan’s uncle’s chai

Jasper huffed a chuckle but explained patiently, “You’re not wrong that I have connections, but these are friendships between us as individuals. I have no attachments or connections to their family.“And how much these friendships can help depends on the situation. It could function as a catalyst to urge cooperation, but it can never be the starting of a business deal.“Say I reach out to Warwick or even Solander to help restart the company; I’m sure they’ll agree. But how long and how much are they supposed to help? Until we become the next Kurts? “Let’s not even think about becoming as big as the Kurts. Say we even grow to be half of what the Kurts are today, who’s to say the Elvis family will still look at us the same? “And that’s with the Elvis’ main business being petroleum processing. What about the Kurts, whose main income comes from the petroleum fields? Why would they help us become their future competitor?“Even if I were to save Baltimore and make him the clan head ag

Jasper did not wait for Rowan to ask before explaining, “When it comes to petroleum trading, what do you suppose are their biggest fear? Excluding worker strikes, of course.”Rowan frowned, deeply in thought. Jasper did not rush him either and merely watched Rowan wrack his mind for answers. He did not have much time left in Qari, so he spent every free moment mentoring Rowan. After all, Rowan was the one who would be taking over the business here, and the latter had to mature quickly if he wanted to succeed. Thankfully, Rowan did not disappoint.From the excited youth he was when he first arrived at Qari, Rowan had grown into someone who could calmly deal with even the trickiest problems.This was the Rowan Jasper was needed.Time slowly ticked away, yet Rowan’s mind was still blank.Just as he began to panic, a thought suddenly came to mind. “The return of capital and the lack of cash flow?” Rowan asked hesitantly.After some thought, he seemed sure of his answer. “Th

All Jasper did was smile and encourage him. “Keep going.”He could tell that Rowan must have thought of something; otherwise, he would not look at Jasper like this.Jasper was just curious about how far Rowan was thinking, and this would determine how much of his businesses Jasper would trust Rowan to handle on his behalf.With Jasper’s encouragement, Rowan powered on. He had a feeling Jasper was testing him for something, and that made him feel nervous. “It’s not that no one knows how important the securities industry is, but it’s just that no one’s really tried to monopolize the market yet.“This is definitely more than securities being less profitable than petroleum trade and businesses having no motivation to dapple in it… More importantly, it’s the issue with fund settlement. “If a company wants to invest in securities to fix their cash flow, they need to find a way that could make their cash as liquid or as easily liquifiable as possible, since they’re going to have to

“And that is…“The United States!” Rowan stated with certainty. He looked confident in his answer.Jasper’s gaze softened, similar to how a father’s would as he watched his son flourish. “Whether it’s clans who’ve already reached out to the foreign forces or clans who insist on solving their matters themselves, there’s no doubt that they’re feeling conflicted.“They have no choice but to seek protection from third parties if they want to preserve their own manpower, but they know that these third parties are also the reason for their current situation.“But all that accumulated conflict and resentment means nothing compared to the future of their country. So, if given the opportunity to fight against these external forces, I’m almost certain that they’ll work together.“So, the obstacles that used to be in the way of uniting the securities industry, say credibility, for example, is no longer an issue…“Especially not when they’ve experienced first-hand how these so-called ‘savi
