After Jasper hung up the phone, Jasper looked a little off-color. Although he already knew that the little prince and Lord Alvarado wanted to take away their money, Lord Alvarado was so impatient, and them abandoning their benefactor pissed Jasper off a lot.
“What did he say? Did you fail?” Henry asked hurriedly when he saw that Jasper‘s expression looked unpleasant.
Shaking his head, Jasper said, “Not really, but everyone has their own behavior in the face of risks.”
“They are not good people,” Henry sneered. Then, he said, “When there are some goodies, everyone will pounce on it like mad dogs, but if something happens, they will run away faster than anyone else.”
“You can’t say that, at least they are still on my side in terms of their position.”
Jasper exhaled, releasing the depression in his chest before he said with a smile, “Besides, who knows what’s going to happen next. If they want to handle it themselves, let them do it by themselves. If they listen to me about everything, then it’ll be the same no matter who controls the money. At the end of the day, it’s their money anyway.”
“Still, it’s not a big deal even if they don’t listen to me. At the end of the day, it is up to them whether they earn more or less. At the very least, they can’ t stand on the side of Wall Street.”
“No way.” Henry shook his head and said, “Their roots are in the country. Back then, I heard my grandpa say that Swallow Capital had started to take note of this thing and that they’re preparing something secretly. They will only betray you in this situation if they’ve gone mad.”
“They will be betraying themselves if they betray you. So what if they have a big family and a big business? Their family is nothing compared to the nation’s will. They will get destroyed if they anger the government on a small issue, let alone a very controversial problem that causes so much anger among the people.”
“What’s Swallow Capital doing?” Jasper asked.
“How would I know?”
Henry spread his hands and smiled bitterly, “I know that my grandpa made a few calls to Swallow Capital after he talked to you. That’s when I learned that the government of Swallow Capital noticed when you shorted the US market.”
“Please, don’t look down on the brains of Swallow Capital. They’re all extremely sly and witty foxes.”
“In this case, everyone knows that Wall Street is targeting Somerland by targeting you. Do you think those old foxes wouldn’t realize it?”
“There will be a way out, but it has nothing to do with us. We just have to do our part. Swallow Capital won’t let us die during the critical moments.”
Jasper nodded, feeling very relieved.
Even though he was contacting so many people and powers, this was essentially out of fear of the United States’ power. One had to understand that this was the world’s largest country and the founder of modern economic rules for mankind.
Even if Jasper was mad, he would never even dream of fighting with the United States government.
One only had to look at the closing of the market this time. When they truly infuriated the United States, the United States immediately closed the market and, even more shamelessly, froze all of Jasper’s assets in the country.
Stocks and securities were illiquid assets.
So, even when Jasper made a dime at that moment, he would not be able to take it out, let alone his entire deposit.
Hence, how could an individual fight against the will of the nation?
Let alone the United States.
However, after doing so much back then, Jasper was sure that he had backing behind him.
Jasper shook his head and shook those negative thoughts away. Then, he said, “The only thing l can do now is do my best to contact the real powers in this country.”
“A contest between capitalists will still depend on funds. If they are shameless, we cannot do anything about it, but naturally, there will still be a power that can defeat them.”
