Was Vernon’s statement any better than Andy’s?
A little, but it was still weak.
However, the problem was that Vernon had exhibited the shamelessness of a politician in full glory. He did not talk about the contract, and he did not talk about shameful personal grievances. What exchange rate?
Was it not embarrassing to talk about how Sun Dollars of Sunrise Land was crashed by a foreigner like Jasper?
Despite this, Vernon’s vault upgrade bluff was enough to block Jasper’s retreat.
“Mr. Wasser, let me repeat myself. Since I’m here today, I will definitely take away the gold,” Jasper said.
Vernon said lightly, “Sunrise Central Bank would never deliberately detain any of the properties pledged by a customer, but the transformation and upgrading of the vault is a problem that cannot be avoided, so I’m afraid I have to ask you to wait for a while, Mr. Laine. After the vault is upgraded, we will deliver the gold to your door.”
“And, as compensation, I promise to waive all of your interest.”
Vernon’s shamelessness made Jasper laugh.
“Hey, old man.”
Henry could not help himself anymore. He looked at Vernon impatiently and said, “Do you think everyone from Somerland is a fool? What vault upgrade and transformation? You must be lying! Do you have the guts to take me over to have a look?”
Vernon did not mind Henry’s unreasonableness. He said in relax, “The treasury is the most important place in the central bank. Of course, I can’t let just anyone inside.”
“Stop bullsh*tting! We have 200 tons of gold in it, yet you think we’re ‘just anyone’?”
Henry stood up directly and said with a cold face, “I am always the one reneging on others but this is the first time that others have reneged on me. What even is the central bank? We managed to crash your exchange rate just now.”
“Now, you are struggling with internal strife, right? I heard that the cabinet this term will resign collectively following your head’s coma. By then, it’s hard to say whether your position as the president of the central bank will be safe, yet you still have the nerve to talk sh*t with me over here?”
To be honest, Vernon might be the first central bank president in the country to be scolded and regarded as ‘talking sh*t’.
Vernon’s face turned gloomy.
“Your name is Henry Law, isn’t it?”
Henry proudly replied, “Yes, that’s me.”
Vernon suddenly got up and cursed, “Even if your grandpa were here, he wouldn’t dare to talk to me like this. Who do you think you are?”
“The affairs of the cabinet are highly confidential in our country. As a foreigner, what right do you have to know about it? Now I have reason to suspect that you have an unusual purpose for entering Sunrise Land. I can report and have you arrested!”
After Henry heard that, his temper immediately flared.
When he was about to explode, Jasper placed his hand on his shoulder.
“Mr. Wasser, why bother stepping to the levels of us children? You know from the bottom of your heart that it will be no good for you to detain Henry in Sunrise Land and it will only bring you trouble.”
Vernon gave a cold snort and said nothing. Of course, he knew that Henry was more difficult than Jasper in a sense. It was not about Henry’s talents or skills, but his surname.
The Laws were heroes in Somerland. Somerland would not let anyone wrong their hero.
Even though he was the president of the central bank of Sunrise Land, the grievances between Sunrise Land and Somerland had lasted for hundreds of years. Vernon would not be ignorant of this.
At this moment, Jasper spoke again.
“Mr. Wasser, I don’t care whether your treasury is being remodeled or upgraded. Since I brought the contract today, we have to do things as per the contract. It’s fine if you don’t want to give me the gold. As a foreigner, I can’t do anything to you in your land. However, there’s a place where people will stand up for me.”
“Do you want me to go to the Somerland Embassy in Sunrise Land and escalate this matter into a diplomatic issue?”
