“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 drag 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 how horrifying Jasper could be.
On the other hand, Jasper lifted his hand to remove Hugh’s hands before saying indifferently, “You’re involved with Zoni? I’m sorry, I didn’t like that company so I smashed its market. Now, I might let it lose a few hundred million dollars.”
Hugh felt as if his heart had been ripped out after Jasper said that.
He looked at Jasper with rancor and gritted his teeth. He said, “My entire fortune and life are on Zoni. If you smash it, then you’ll be taking my life!”
“Too bad, then.” Jasper chuckled lightly.
He lifted his eyes to look at Hugh who was like a mad dog. He said slowly, “Or maybe you can kneel in front of me? If I’m in a good mood, I might save a few coins for you to spend for the remainder of your life.”
“Jasper!” Hugh had completely lost his mind. He roared, “I’m going to kill you!”
“Shut up!”
Jasper roared all of a sudden.
All this while, Jasper’s tone had been neither fast nor slow. This was the first time he used his voice to completely overpower Hugh.
“If I were you, I’d be wondering what the investors will do to you after such a huge loss. Will they pluck your nerves or will they skin you alive?”
Jasper’s words caused Hugh’s face to turn white.
He was clear that the money from Lantern Capital had all come from the investors, and none of those people should be provoked.
If word about what happened today got out, Hugh Lewis would be completely finished.
There was intense fear in Hugh’s eyes. His lips were trembling as he said, “Y-You’re a devil.”
“Thanks for the compliment,” Jasper said slowly.
“Do you think you’ve won?” Hugh said suddenly.
“If not?” Jasper asked.
“Hahahaha!” Hugh lifted his face and guffawed. He pointed at the outside of the room and said, “Everyone out there was arranged by me. Yes, I’m done for and Lantern Capital will close down tomorrow, but so what? Before that, I want to kill you!”
“You can only blame yourself for being too savage. You burnt all of the bridges, so don’t blame me for being cruel!” Hugh said while laughing nastily.
Some people on the round table were shaking their heads while sighing.
“Even though Jasper’s skills are amazing, unfortunately, he’s still not Hugh’s rival.”
“The carpet pulling is great, but at the end of the day, a slow remedy does not address the current emergency.”
The people who were talking looked at Jasper, and their eyes were filled with pity.
“Everyone here is under Hugh, and the ones out there are desperadoes who will seriously do anything for just 10,000 dollars. Jasper is finished for forcing Hugh to a dead end.”
“He’s still inexperienced, not like us seniors. If not, he would not have come here. It’d be enough manipulating this from the dark. He wouldn’t have to face these risks if he did that, would he?”
When John heard that as he was smoking his cigarette, he wanted to laugh even more.
He wanted so badly to stand up and tell those opinionated idiots that they had walked into Jasper’s trap right from the beginning.
Hugh’s final counterattack was just vulgar claptrap to please the crowd.
However, he could not do that, so John was having such a hard time holding himself together.
Bang!
At this moment, the door of the room was kicked open and a team of uniformed officers walked over to Hugh solemnly.
