In any era, you would have to be downright stupid to confront a country personally, even if you were just facing a nameless small country.
Thus, the best way to break down the will of one country was to use the will of another country.
Jasper had not reached the point where he could stir the international situation. All he could rely on right now was his homeland.
Vernon narrowed his eyes to look at Jasper. Then, he sneered, “Somerland punk, do you know what you are talking about? Diplomatic issue? Is that something you can say casually?”
“I told you if things escalate to this point, I have to give it a try.”
Jasper suddenly chuckled and said, “Now the total scale of JW Capital is approaching 100 billion Somer Dollars. Its subsidiaries involve all walks of life, providing society with at least 50 thousand direct jobs and paying more than 8 billion in taxes. Not to mention the social wealth created by involving upstream and downstream industries.”
“In any country, such an enterprise is worthy of attention. Mr. Wasser, would you like to see how much weight I carry in in the heart of my motherland?”
Behind Jasper, Seamus and Gary glanced at each other quietly.
When they received the task, they only knew that they needed to protect an important person.
There was nothing strange. After all, the people who needed their protection were all important people. When they first met Jasper, they felt that he was very young and they thought he was just the child of a big shot.
However, they did not expect that Jasper not only had the confidence and courage to threaten the central bank president of Sunrise Land, but they he also possessed such terrifying strength.
They did not know that Jasper’s heart was also racing when he said that.
After all, it was taboo and it would violate the rules of the higher-ups if one was arrogant simply because one relied on favors and had huge power on their side. However, Jasper did not think of this. He was only saying this now to use as a bargaining chip to force the Sunrise Land Central Bank to regress.
After hearing these words, Vernon was silent for a long time.
His fist that was hidden under the table loosened and tightened continuously.
To put this matter simply, Sunrise Land was very upset and wanted to cause some trouble for Jasper.
To be more complex, it had elevated into a political game between the two countries.
At present, the higher-ups of Sunrise Land were in turmoil and were unstable. This was because of the health problems of their head and the economic problems caused by the exchange rate.
At this moment, it was hard to say whether Somerland had any thoughts or plans toward them.
Vernon had the feeling that Jasper understood that it would be difficult to get his gold this time, but he still came and was even so impatient about it. Was he doing this because this was the wish of the Somerland Government?
If this was the case, then this was Somerland’s attempt to sound out the politics in Sunrise Land. A small central bank president like him could not make such an important decision at a time like this.
After weighing the pros and cons, Vernon looked at Jasper and suddenly smiled.
“This is just a small matter between us, so I don’t think it’s necessary to elevate it. The gold can be withdrawn at any time.”
“But Mr. Laine, this is a choice you made yourself and you can’t regret it.”
Jasper raised his eyebrows and said, “It’s justifiable for me to take back my own things. Iwon’t regret this.”
“Very good.”
Vernon seemed to let out a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and said, “Holland, take Mr. Laine to go through the formalities. Since he wants to take out this lot of gold, give it to him.”
Andy was stunned.
He thought that after he asked the president to show his face, Jasper would definitely leave in disappointment.
However, he did not expect the president to retreat faster than himself.
Moreover, he was so quick to promise Jasper too, which obviously did not align with what the president had told him earlier.
However, after he got the order, he did not have time to contemplate it. He nodded and said, “Yes.”
Vernon stood up to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly turned to Jasper and said, “You are young and you’re very exceptional, but… It’s a pity, you made the wrong choice.”
Jasper said lightly, “I don’t think so.”
Vernon smiled deeply, turned around, and left.
“What does that old man mean? Why is his smile so creepy?”
After Vernon left, Henry turned his head and asked Jasper.
Jasper narrowed his eyes and led his gang behind Andy to go through the formalities. Halfway through, Jasper suddenly said, “Henry.”
“Yes?”
“You should contact your dad immediately and ask him to find a way to get a ship to us in the shortest possible time. Then, you and Julian will get on the ship with the gold and return to the country immediately. You will return to Harbor City first, which is closest.”
Henry was taken aback and asked, “If we go back, what about you?”
“We have to go on separate routes. I have a bad feeling about this,” Jasper said solemnly.
Henry widened his eyes when he heard the words, He said, “Seriously? Will Sunrise Land take action against you for the 200 tons of gold?”
Jasper glared at Henry and said, “200 tons of gold is nothing. Their goal is me, so it is safest if you take the gold with you.”
“No, what about you?”
Henry refused. “We will leave together. What will you do if something happens? Don’t worry, I will contact the old man right away. You can definitely board the ship within 5 hours. Will they dare to bomb us with warships then?”
“It‘s not that simple. Listen to me. Just go first.”
Jasper shook his head. He was far less optimistic than Henry.
Unless Sunrise Land was crazy and wanted to cause a conflict between the two countries, it would be impossible to use the state’s military to attack Jasper at this point.
The more terrifying thing was them taking action against Jasper in the dark.
What Vernon insinuated just now was obvious.
Since the problem could not be solved through official means, then they would get rid of the person who started this in the dark
Who else would this person be beside himself?
“Julian, you must bring Henry back home safely.” Jasper turned his head and said to Julian.
However, Julian’s expression was serious, and for the first time ever, he did not respond to Jasper’s orders.
“Julian!”
Jasper’s tone became serious. “This is not the time to be indecisive. I have Seamus and Gary to protect me. They are more professional than you in this regard. What are you afraid of?”
Julian gritted his teeth and said, “Then I will send him back before I come to find you again.”
With a smile, Jasper said to Julian, “I would have probably left Sunrise Land by then. Don’t worry, I made so much money and finally achieved my current status. I am more afraid of death than anyone else.”
Julian looked at Jasper blankly before nodding slowly.
“After all, this is just my guess. I hope I guessed wrong,” Jasper exhaled and said.
