The only possible explanation was that the government was a good judge of character. They must have seen through the descendants of the aristocratic families and ultimately chosen Jasper.
Because the descendants of the aristocratic families-especially the elite ones of the top families-were born with significant superiority, it was only inevitable that they were more capable than ordinary people.
However, when it came to the government’s decision-making process when picking someone to set as an example for the nation, these descendants of the aristocratic families were not the best candidates.
Their identity or background did not matter. All it took to conceal these factors from ordinary folks were the wishes of themselves and the government.
The problem was-would they give their all when the government needed someone to fight for the country?
The answer was a solid no. They had their families. They were tied up with benefits. I t was simply not possible.
Therefore, it was simply impossible for them to replace Jasper.
“D*rn it!”
Suddenly, Lord Alvarado clenched his teeth and said, “I’ll add another 8 billion. Jasper, please don’t think of it as a small amount. This is all I have now.”
The little prince looked astonished. Deep down, he was cursing him frantically in his heart. ‘You with your bushy eyebrows and big eyes! How can you change your mind so abruptly?’ However, he did not fall behind in adding, “Oh, is that all you have? Jasper, I’ll add another 10 billion. Forget everything else, I will definitely be contributing more than the Alvarado guy.”
Lord Alvarado sneered, “Isn’t that just 2 billion more than what I offered? Look at you being stingy.”
“You can’t even take out another 2
billion,” the little prince scoffed back at
him.
Jasper said awkwardly, “Alright, alright, stop arguing. I’ll accept the extra money with a grateful heart, but if you trust me, this extra money will count as an investment instead of a loan. Are you still i n?”
The little prince and Lord Alvarado no longer took the situation lightly. They looked at each other once again and nodded in unison. “F*ck that! You’re already betting with your life, so why would we care about this little amount of money?”
Jasper smiled and said, “You won’t regret i t.”
The video conference ended after the details were finalized. The representatives of each force gradually left the meeting.
Before Gale turned off his video, he suddenly asked, “Sly child, how confident are you?”
Jasper smirked, “Why do you ask, Old Master Hurlbutt? Are you also planning o n contributing more funds? Will that be a loan or an investment?”
After a moment of hesitation, Gale shook his head. “It’s alright. Forget it.”
With that, he turned off his camera. Jasper let out a chuckle.
This sly old man was being overcautious
s usual.
However, as much as caution brings people success, it can also precipitated their downfall.
No one knew Jasper’s plan for sure. If Gale was also a reincarnated person, he would probably chip in with everything he had. H e would not merely lend him the money, nor would he ever hesitate then give up.
However, Jasper understood him. It was a hefty sum of funds after all, and no one dared gamble with it. Moreover, what was the point of Gale fighting at his age?
The most important thing was that Jasper treated him differently.
Business was business-sure, they would work with each other when there came a chance for partnership, but in any other instance, they would simply mind their
own business.
Just like the Law’s. Jasper had allowed Old Master Law to follow in his footsteps without demur. Once he succeeded, the Laws would be invincible.
That was the essence of a decade of development in the States.
A single drop would prove enough to turn an ant into an elephant in an instant.
In the end, just as Jasper was about to get
up, he caught Adele looking at him
smilingly.
“Why are you still here?” Jasper asked in surprise.
“I need to talk to you in private… Oh, not me, I mean my brother.”
“The cripple who is playing with the birds? Sure, he can come over. Now that those superficial people are gone, the time you’ve been waiting for has come.”
