Henry’s tone was arrogant, but upon further thought, one would realize that he spoke the truth.
Henry might have a horrible temper, but he was easy to communicate with for the majority of ordinary people. He would not vent his anger on ordinary people.
However, when it came to other rambunctious trust-fund children, Henry would not hesitate to slap them across the face when they pissed him off. More often than not, there was nothing these people could do in retaliation.
After all, the world of trust-fund children was a competition of familial backgrounds. Henry had never lost in this aspect since his father and grandfather’s identities were a direct display of their capabilities.
After checking Henry into the hotel, Jasper specifically told Henry not to cause any trouble before he left.
Henry agreed in annoyance, only to leave and seek out some fun after Jasper left.
Jasper did not worry too much about this.
Henry might seem flamboyant, but he was a smart man. Not to mention, they were in the Southeast Province and not Waterhoof City, so Jasper would cover for Henry no matter what.
After he returned, Jasper contacted both Lord Alvarado and the little prince separately.
In no time at all, two sets of funds were transferred to his account.
It was a total of 10 billion.
Jasper was unsurprised to find that both Lord Alvarado and the little prince could give him 5 billion each.
If anything, Jasper was very aware that they could take more out if necessary. The only reason they were cautious was that this was everyone’s first time working together, and Jasper had been vague on the details of the operation.
These two individuals were the type to only act when victory was in sight. If Jasper wanted more money from them, then he had to show a big enough guarantee that they would profit.
The fact that they could provide 5 billion each during their first time working together was in line with their identities as the children of top-notch families within the mainlands.
Following that, the Law family’s 7 billion had also been transferred over.
All the funds sitting in Jasper’s capital pool accumulated to more than 26 billion now. Among the 26 billion was 9 billion of Jasper’s own money, 7 billion from the Law family, and 5 billion each from Lord Alvarado and the little prince.
Jasper had even entertained the thought of inviting the crippled Brown of the Brown family in the north.
The only issue was that the crippled Brown was too mysterious an entity, and Jasper had never encountered the man. He could find a way to contact him if he wanted to since Lord Alvarado or the little prince had to have a way of contacting the crippled Brown.
However, Jasper did not do so. After all, there was still no certainty as to how this fight would play out, and the crippled Brown, who was rumored to be insanely smart, might not necessarily agree to work together.
The day was the 10th of September 2001.
All Jasper did was wait patiently for the earth-shattering incident that was destined to be remembered in history.
However, before this monumental moment arrived, Jasper first received news that almost drenched him in a cold sweat.
Someone had tampered with Wendy’s car.
After the accident that occurred at the office entrance in the past, Jasper had planned to buy Wendy a new car, but she insisted on repairing it and proceeded to drive her BMW into the car dealership shop.
Because of this, the purchase of a new car was postponed.
He did not expect an accident to almost happen right after the car was repaired.
“The brakes were sabotaged. From what we can tell, the car’s brake system will fail when the car is driven at more than 80 kilometers per hour.”
Julian’s senior and Wendy’s personal bodyguard, Fallon, said.
In comparison to Julian, Fallon possessed a more comprehensive set of skills. It was only after he employed her that Jasper learned that Fallon was not only a great fighter but also a professional auto racer.
What was even more impressive was that she also had a helicopter license, and a seafarer’s passport, and a boating license.
“Did you catch who did it?” Jasper’s expression was frosty.
Standing next to him, Wendy was still in shock.
Thankfully, Fallon had found out beforehand, otherwise some huge accident might have occurred.
Fallon chewed her gum and sat down casually before replying, “The cameras caught someone sneaking around the car park, and Jul’s gone to catch him now.”
“Thank you ,” Jasper thanked Fallon earnestly.
Fallon had essentially saved Wendy’s life today.
Fallon snickered and replied, “Don’t worry about it. I’m just doing my job. You’re the one paying me, after all.”
JW Company currently had a huge influence in not just Nauritus City, but the whole of Southeast Province.
No matter who the culprit was, Jasper would not forgive him for threatening Wendy’s personal safety.
Wendy was more than Jasper’s significant other, she was also the future co-owner of JW and Dawson’s daughter.
Considering Wendy’s multiple powerful identities, whoever still dared to hurt Wendy definitely had no fear for Jasper.
Still, that did not matter.
Jasper would flip whoever dared to hurt Wendy upside down, even if it was God Himself!
Soon enough, Julian caught the man and dragged him over.
Jasper was also shocked when he saw the man Julian brought over.
“Calvin Hunt!” Jasper looked at Calvin icily and shouted his name. He did not expect Calvin to be so bold.
Calvin knew that he had been found out, so he said harshly, “What a shame I didn’t manage to kill her.”
Slap.
Jasper got up to slap Calvin across the face harshly. “You come at me if you want! But if you touch Wendy, then I’ll make you regret ever being born!”
The whole of Southeast Province, and even Jasper’s enemies, knew that involving Wendy was a taboo when it came to attacking Jasper. Whoever hurt her would have to face Jasper’s mindless revenge.
Calvin was very bold to do what he did!
He had done something countless people wanted, but did not dare, to do.
Calvin took the slap and glared at Jasper with bloodshot eyes. He roared, “Beat me to death if you can, Jasper! Do you even dare? You wouldn’t dare to kill me!”
“Kill you?” Jasper sneered. “As if you’re worth my time and effort.”
Jasper grabbed Calvin’s collar and said icily, “But don’t worry. I have more than enough ways to make you suffer without killing you.”
At this moment, even Calvin panicked when he took in Jasper’s icy gaze.
“Think before you act, Jasper! I’m telling you, this is a just society we live in!”
“You, an attempted murderer, are talking to me about what’s just?” Jasper sneered.
Calvin clenched his jaw but did not say anything.
“I’ll torture you first, then send you to the police. By then, this attempted murder charge will be enough to lock you behind bars for the rest of your life. I’ve always just let you be, Calvin, because I thought that you wouldn’t be able to cause too large a problem.”
“But thank you for letting me understand that while trash like you can’t bring me actual trouble, you can still threaten the people around me. I’ll make sure to be extra careful in the future.”
“So, to thank you, I’ll definitely teach you an unforgettable lesson. I’d be a horrible excuse of a human being if I let you live a single day in comfort until you eventually die!”
