“Wait for an outcome between Jasper and Fabian before we decide.”
Conrad’s words confused Valentine even more.
“Didn’t you say that Fabian’s plan is bound to succeed and Jasper can’t stop it? Then why should we wait? Is Jasper definitely going to die?”
Conrad glanced at Valentine. Then, he reluctantly shook his head and said, “Val, your foresight is still too short. Look further.
“In Fabian‘s plan, he used himself as an opening to ignite Wall Street Capital‘s anger against Jasper and Somer’s capitalist. This plan cannot be stopped by Jasper and it is impossible to win against Wall Street. However, why didn’t Fabian use it earlier and only take this step now that he’s reached a dead end?”
Valentine frowned and thought deeply.
Without giving Valentine too much time, Conrad replied to his own question, “Because Fabian is a very arrogant person. He understands that if he does this, he would be admitting defeat to Jasper.
“Because when that happens, it doesn’t matter whether Jasper is crushed into fine powder or ashes, does it have anything to do with Fabian? He just opened the floodgates. After he ignited the anger of Wall Street, Fabian won’t be needed anymore.
“So at that time, Jasper will lose to Wall Street, not Fabian.
“When I come here, Fabian is ready to throw down and fight his last battle with Jasper. This is a fight to the death between Jasper and Fabian.”
After hearing Conrad’s words, Valentine suddenly came to a realization.
“I see!”
Conrad chuckled. “Val, people like us have to look at the big picture when we judge someone or do something. I didn’t understand this before, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was because I was too naive and young before. The reason I lost to Jasper so many times was that I didn’t have a good enough plan and nothing else.”
Valentine said sincerely, “Mr. Monty, I think you are no worse than anyone now.”
“Really?” Conrad chuckled. He turned his head to look out the window and said flatly, “That’ s because I can’t afford to lose.”
“Mr. Monty, I still have a question that I can’t figure out,” Valentine said.
Conrad said lightly, “Go on.”
“Why are we waiting for the outcome of the battle between Jasper and Fabian before telling Jasper?”
“Who said I have to tell Jasper?”
Conrad answered rhetorically and Valentine almost drove the car into the ditch.
“Are we not?”
Conrad said faintly, “It’s not up to me whether to tell him or not, but it’s on the outcome of the battle between Jasper and Fabian.”
“If Fabian won and he didn’t die this time, naturally he won’t use the follow up plan. So, everything will be fine.”
“If Jasper won, Fabian would lose everything. He would go mad and someone like him would not allow other people to defeat him. So, he will execute his plan.”
“When that happens, we’ll be able to sell our information at a good price.”
Conrad narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, “So-called feelings do not exist in my eyes. Only interests matter.”
“I’m a businessman, an ordinary businessman who survives between Jasper and Fabian and I can’t even save my future. So do you think I will still be in the mood to talk about feelings?”
“We are not Fabian’s people, nor Jasper’s dog. I can sell this information to anyone as long as the price is right. I think when the time comes, Jasper will be willing to pay a certain price to exchange this information with me.”

“Mr. Laine, bad news.”
Jake’s solemn voice came from the speaker of the computer.
“According to our analysis, Fabian’s funds should be used up by now but until now, it doesn’t seem that his funds are running out. He kept putting in more funds and we can’t figure out how much he still has.”
Jasper frowned slightly.
