More than ten minutes later, Jasper and his gang were invited to a huge office.
When Jasper walked in, he saw several people already sitting in the office. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man with a buzz cut and a solemn expression.
“I am the manager of the central bank who is responsible for handling all business relating to the vault and collateral, Andy Holland.”
After seeing Jasper, the middle-aged man took the initiative to reveal his identity.
Jasper opened his mouth and said, “Jasper Laine from JW Capital in Somerland.”
Upon hearing the name, the corners of Andy’s mouth twitched. Then, he said with slightly gloomy eyes, “We have become very familiar with JW Capital and Mr. Jasper Laine during this period. I wonder if I should be honored or sad.”
Jasper smiled and did not waste time. He took out the original mortgage certificate and put it on the desk. After that, he pushed it in front of Andy and said, “Since we already know each other, then let’s get to business.”
“I pledged 200 tons of gold at Sunrise Central Bank half a month ago and now I plan to repay the money with interest and take back my gold.”
Andy glanced at the mortgage certificate and did not move. Instead, he said, “Mr. Laine, Sunrise Central Bank is the safest place in the world. It is inconvenient for you to take away 200 tons of gold. If you don’t need it, why not store it here for now?
“As for the repayment, don’t worry. Now, everyone knows the strength of JW Capital. No one will believe that you will fall behind in payments, Mr. Laine. We’re not in a rush for it, so why are you in such a hurry to pay us back?”
Jasper chuckled, “Since I personally came to take away the gold in advance, it must mean that I have a great use for it.”
“Oh? I wonder why you’re so anxious to take it back,” Andy asked.
“I plan to take this lot of gold back and use it as bricks for my wall, what do you think?”
Jasper’s words caused Andy‘s face to fall.
“Mr. Laine, are you kidding me?”
Jasper chuckled, “Mr. Holland, who owns this gold?”
Although he was reluctant, Andy braced himself and said, “Mr. Laine, it belongs to you, of course.”
“Then does it have anything to do with Mr. Holland or Sunrise Central Bank if I take them back to use as bricks?”
Jasper’s words made Andy extremely passive.
Even things pawned by a pawn shop could be redeemed within a certain period. This had been the rule since ancient times.
Not to mention that Jasper just temporarily mortgaged this lot of gold to the central bank, and now he was here to redeem it with interest earnestly. This was right and proper. Even if Andy wanted to renege on a debt, he could not deny this truth.
“Mr. Laine, the terms of our mortgage contract stipulate the date of repayment, so we must follow the contract.”
As a last resort, Andy decided to use the contract to stop Jasper.
Jasper sneered but was not surprised by Andy’ s words.
He said, “The contract also stated the penalty in case of a breach of contract. The default is to pay three times the interest for one day. Since you insist on saying that my early repayment is a breach of contract, then fine, I will pay you three times the interest.”
“The contract was signed for a one-month mortgage. Now, just over 20 days have passed, so I’ll consider this as 10 days early. The three times interest for these 10 days is only a few million Somer Dollars. I can afford it.”
Andy gritted his teeth.
Was he after the interest?
