“Bowing to him?”
Conrad averted his gaze and said in rumination, “I don’t think this is bowing my head to him.
“This is called adapting to current circumstances. A talented person chooses a patron of integrity.”
Conrad looked at the prosperous building of the JW headquarters and said in a conflicted tone, “Before this, JW was just a small startup company in Nauritus City, while the Montys was a giant over here.
“No matter where I went, everything would always revolve around me. Compared with me at that time, JW was like an impoverished person that just came out of a rural village. No one was interested in them and no one cared about them.
“But now, look at that.”
Conrad pointed his finger at the top of the building.
“Almost half of Somerland’s top heirs are by Jasper’s side.
“When Jasper became an eyesore to Fabian, he had already opened an insurmountable gap between us. I have always been reluctant to admit it, but now I have to admit that I am no longer qualified to be Jasper’s opponent.
“The reason why I helped Fabian deal with Jasper was that I was not reconciled. I was confused about what right does that guy from the lowest and most impoverished family in a rural village have to stand taller than me and see farther than me? How could those young masters who sneered at me talk politely and amiably in front of him?
“But then…I had a revelation.”
Conrad raised the corner of his lips and said, “Why should I fight with Jasper?
“Back then, I was afraid that he was better than me. I was afraid that he would steal my spotlight and everything that belonged to me.
“But now, he is too good. At the level
where I am, people still only see me, but they will not compare me with Jasper. Meanwhile, Jasper will not be interested i n the things I have and will not steal them from me.
“I’m still a genius from Southeast Province that only appears every 50 years. As for Jasper, he doesn’t care who labels. him as a genius.
“From this point of view, coming here will be the wisest choice for me. His vision extends to the whole country and the countries abroad. Meanwhile, my ambition is limited to the province and the south.
“There is no direct conflict of interest
between us.” Valentine looked at Conrad with a
complicated and distressed look.
His Mr. Monty had gone crazy after all.
However, Mr. Monty was still Mr. Monty. Even if he was crazy, the crazy things he said were still so convincing.
“All of Fabian’s assassination plans for Jasper had been declared a complete
failure. Now, it can be said that Fabian is n o longer qualified to be Jasper’s opponent. He has exhausted all his methods. Hence, Fabian… has been eliminated.
“Now, Jasper is occupied with the important matters. When he finally has the time, Fabian and his gang will suffer the consequences one by one. I understand how Jasper is, and he will definitely do so.
“So if I go up now, at least it’ll reflect my final side, otherwise I will never have a chance.”
After Conrad finished speaking, he opened the door and turned to Valentine. He said, “Wait here for me.”
Valentine replied uneasily, “Mr. Monty,
let me go up with you. At least, you’ll have
someone to look after you.”
“Are you afraid that Jasper will beat me up or do you think he’ll kill me straightaway?”
Conrad smiled and said, “Just wait here. If there aren’t any major problems, I will
call you up soon. Maybe we will have the
opportunity to stay here tonight to witness the war of the century with our own eyes.”
After he got out of the car, Conrad walked straight into the Southface River Tower.
Right now, since the trading center was upstairs, the security level here had been raised to the highest level.
Other than JW’s employees, it would be
impossible for anyone else to get in.
