Jasper agreed quite readily and decisively.
This caught the little prince off guard.
“Did you agree?” The little prince asked subconsciously.
Jasper said lightly, “The money is yours. Whether it is the 5 billion principal or the additional 5 billion profit, it is the benefit that the little prince should get after investing with me.”
“Now that you intend to take the money back, how can I refuse?”
The little prince frowned and looked at Jasper carefully. He said, “I was the one who didn’t do this properly. If you have any grievances, you can tell me now.”
With a wave of his hand, Jasper replied, “What is there to complain about? The reason for this is very simple. “I can’t stop you from taking away your money, right? That’ll be wrong of me.”
The calmer Jasper was, the more the little prince felt that he did not handle this properly.
The little prince thought for a while and said, “You don’t need to say anything to Lionel. I will do it for you. I can even tell you on his behalf that we will support you in whatever you want to do in the follow-up of this matter.”
“That‘s good.”
Jasper stood up, held out his hand to the little prince, and said, “Then it‘s settled.”
As he looked at Jasper with scorching eyes, the little prince smiled suddenly and took Jasper’s hand. He said, “It’s a deal!”
After discussing business affairs, Jasper and the little prince chatted for a while before leaving.
Perhaps it was because of his sudden withdrawal of funds, but the little prince treated Jasper very politely. Not only did he not stop Jasper, but he even personally walked Jasper to the door of the holiday villa and watched him get in the car before he left.
After Jasper’s car disappeared from the end of the mountain road, Coffey appeared beside the little prince and said softly, “Little prince, the master is still at home waiting for your news. We should go back now.”
The little prince’s gaze stayed fixed on the direction in which Jasper’s car had disappeared and he chuckled softly. “Waiting for my news? What’s there to wait for?”
“Jasper exceeded me, the family, and everyone’s expectations.”
Coffey was taken aback. He was a little confused. However, his decades of habit as a subordinate told him that he did need to understand many things, let alone get to the bottom of it.
Only this time, the little prince was in good spirits. So, he continued, “The growth of that guy is really terrifying…”
“In this situation, I am indeed inferior to him. Perhaps the Royals’ power is too strong, so I don’t need to face any choices that are not conducive to me…”
“This time, I also decided to support Jasper. I believe him. Even if I can’t win, I won‘t lose.”
Wouldn’t he lose if he did not win? Coffey was even more confused now. However, he did not probe further, he simply bowed slightly and said softly, “Yes.”
***
After coming out of the little prince’s private and exclusive villa, Jasper was expressionless.
“Jasper, did the negotiation fail?”
Julian, who was driving, looked at Jasper’s expression in the rearview mirror and asked. Julian, who rarely saw Jasper with this expression, was a little upset. He knew that this meeting between Jasper and the little prince must not have been pleasant.
This caused a murderous look to appear in Julian’s eyes.
If Jasper gave him a word at this moment, he could immediately turn back and singlehandedly twist the head off the head of the little prince to hand it to Jasper.
Julian would not consider how big and powerful the little prince’s background was.
“No…”
Jasper shook his head and looked out the window. He said faintly, “I just suddenly realized I can’t underestimate these successors of top families no matter what.”
To be honest, Jasper was not worried that the little prince and Lord Alvarado would back out on their collaboration with him at this moment. Their status and family status predetermined that they would not be able to put their own safety before matters
of principle.
Their roots were in the country. Their status, wealth, and prestige were built on the foundation of Somerland.
If Somerland’s economy crashed and was played for suckers by the Western capitalists, not only would the citizens suffer. At the same time, the families that were rooted in the land of Somerland would suffer as well. Anything they did at this moment was being closely monitored by the big shots in Swallow Capital.
Therefore, at this moment, they would not dare to play the tricks up their sleeves even if they had balls of steel.
That was why Jasper was not worried that the little prince would give up on his collaboration with him. However, the problem was that he did not expect that the little prince and Lord Alvarado to withdraw their capital and gain back control of the funds.
Although he said that he would respect the decision, this move fully showed the greed and cautious nature of these people.
To put it awkwardly, this was a clear example of saving one’s own bottom during a disaster.
That was why the little prince felt guilty at that time.
That was why Jasper’s face was as calm as stagnant water.
With a sigh, Jasper closed his eyes and said, “I need to meet a lot of people after this. I don‘t have the time to worry too much about this. Let’s go back to Southeast Province first.”
Looking at the tired Jasper through the rearview mirror, Julian said softly, “Jasper, no matter how big the issue is, you still have to rest.”
“I don’t know much about major principles, but I know that the body is the primary resource for a revolution. If you collapse now, everything will be done for.”
Jasper opened his eyes to look at Julian, and he chuckled before saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t.”
Julian grinned and asked, “Julian, who are we seeing next?”
Jasper thought for a while and replied, “We’ll need to see Lord Alvarado next. I’ll contact him and try to ask him to come to the Southeast Province.”
After he finished saying that, Jasper’s phone rang. He was stunned when he saw the phone number.
It was his childhood friend whom he had not talked to for a very long time, Greg.
Jasper did not hesitate before answering.
“Jasper, this is bad. I’ve been sued!”
