“Damn, are you trying to be a hero?”
The two thugs turned their heads to look at Jasper as they cursed.
“Do you know that we’re with Machino? Watch out or we’ll call our friends to come and kill you!”
After the thugs said that, Julian, who received Jasper’s orders, walked over.
One knew what would happen if Julian decided to teach those thugs a lesson.
After just a few moves, the two grumbling thugs had fallen to the floor before Julian even exerted any force. Julian then lifted the two of them as if they were chickens.
“Just you wait! I’ll call the guys over to kill you all!” One of the thugs had blood all over his face as he cursed and scolded continuously.
Julian tilted his head and smashed the thug’s face against the stairway railing.
Bright red blood and pearly white teeth flew all over the place as the thug cried out in immense pain.
About half of his teeth flew out from his mouth after this.
Then, Julian dragged the other thug who had fallen silent out of the noodle shop.
At this moment, Jasper walked to Celine.
“If you were a few seconds later, they might have abducted me to become their boss’ wife,” Celine grumbled.
Jasper smiled and said, “I should have delayed myself a bit then. I’ve never seen such a beautiful boss lady before.”
Celine glared at Jasper and said, “The noodles here are good. Do you want some?”
While Celine said that, she did not give Jasper a choice. She immediately called the terrified shop owner over and ordered a bowl of noodles.
To a mainlander like Jasper, noodles were just something akin to spaghetti and pasta.
However, Jasper was not a picky eater. He was able to accept everything except for cilantro.
His experience proven that this place, which was particularly favored by Celine, did have its own unique features. The noodles were fragrant and tender, and the broth was also delicious, which made the noodles very good.
“You said I’ve caused a big issue, yet you invited me here to eat noodles with you?” After Jasper took two bites, he asked before drinking the broth.
Celine picked up some tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth. She said, “Since it’s something big, we can only talk about this slowly after we’re full.”
“I feel relieved after seeing you taking your time. It doesn’t seem like a major issue,” Jasper said.
Celine glared at Jasper and replied bluntly, “It’s such a big issue that it’ll be meaningless even if we’re anxious about it now.”
Jasper frowned and waited for Celine to continue.
At this moment, Celine had no intention of keeping Jasper waiting. She sighed and said, “I took a big risk coming out to inform you this time. If the investment bank catches me, I’m afraid that not only will I lose my job, I might also be prosecuted for leaking trade secrets.”
“What the hell is going on?” Jasper asked.
“Layman Investment Bank, Quantum Fund, and Softwin Investments held an emergency consultation with the Federal Reserve regarding the current economic situation of the United States three hours ago.”
“Two hours ago, the top leaders of Colossal Investments, Morgan Financial Group, and six other top financial institutions on Wall Street were convened at the same time for a meeting. This meeting was hosted by Greenspaner, the chairman of the Federal Reserve.”
“After President Paulson ended the video meeting, he spoke to the presidents of investment banks all over the world, including myself. Do you know what was the first thing Greenspaner said during the meeting with the Federal Reserve?”
Every name uttered from Celine’s red and beautiful lips belonged to titans in the global financial world. Their names alone were enough to scare most people. The combination of these consortia and investment banks was enough to overturn the global economy. If these giants were sitting together in a meeting, then something was definitely amiss.
Jasper frowned and was in deep thought. He looked at Celine and said nothing.
Celine sighed again. Knowing that Jasper had no intention of entertaining her riddles, she said directly, “Now, there are despicable enemies lurking in the dark trying to take advantage of this terrorist attack to steal the economic achievements of the United States gained over the past hundreds of years. They are first starting with the economy as they provoke the majesty of the United States!”
These words carried a lot of weight.
“They also came from Greenspaner, who laid the foundation for the modern economic system of the United States. This could almost be regarded as a speech before the declaration of war. However, this battlefield was the financial battlefield, not one of blood and gunpowder.”
“He’s treating this as a matter of principle right? They’re borrowing prestige to scare others,” Jasper said lightly.
Celine looked at Jasper deeply and said, “You are now their primary target.”
“Is it because I was the earliest to plan my moves? That when the whole world treated me as a fool, it was soon revealed that I was the biggest winner of this attack?” Jasper asked.
Celine said with a nod, “Yes, but this is only one of the reasons.”
“Although you made a lot of money, this money isn’t even a splash in their eyes. The real problem is that someone is consciously guiding everyone to focus on you.”
“Layman, Quantum Fund, and Softwin have beef with me. Hehe,” Jasper said with a cold chuckle.
“It’s good that you’re aware.”
Celine showed an extremely solemn expression on her face and said, “You must pay attention to this matter.”
“How? Do you want me to spit out the money?” Jasper said.
Celine felt resentful towards Jasper for failing to meet her expectations. Then, she said, “How can you be so stubborn? Your personal strength is insignificant to the United States. Even if you were Bennett, even if you were a stack of ten Bennetts, it would not be enough for them to ignore the prestige they have as a first world country and ignore you.”
“Moreover, the person who secretly wants to deal with you is employing a very simple method. It is to paint you as a target and make the people of the United States believe that you are the leader who’s going to lead the East to start a financial war against the United States!”
“And that Sorner will be behind you!”
“Once this consensus is reached, you will be doomed!”
Celine’s voice lingered in his ears, and Jasper closed his eyes slightly.
Morrison from Layman Investment Bank, Echo Welch from Softwin Investments, and Rogers from Quantum Fund.
However, these people did not have enough power to fight him so brazenly.
These three looked completely unrelated to one another, but there was one common trait that they all shared.
A relationship with Fabian from the Atticus Family. Everything was clear now. He understood what Fabian was planning to do.
When Jasper opened his eyes, he said sincerely, “How cruel. How heartless. How savage!”
