Jasper slowly said, “I understand what
you mean, but….”
“There is no buts.”
Jasper was rarely interrupted.
Even so, Reuben did not think that there:
was anything wrong with doing this. He
continued, “Mr. Laine, we are throwing a
sprat to catch a herring.
“In any game, whenever the difference in
strength between the enemy and us is
huge, the weak must find another way to
defeat the strong. We created this
situation with many difficulties, but the
previous relatively evenly matched board
has been shattered by our opponents, so w
e have to sacrifice something to make up
for it.
“As long as our strategic goal is achieved,
the loss is acceptable.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes and looked at
Reuben on the screen. He said, “If that’s
the case, what do you think can be
sacrificed, Waterhoof City capital or
Harbor City capital?”
“Mr. Laine, I think there is already a choice in your heart, right?”
Jasper closed his eyes slightly, leaned back on the chair, and said slowly but challengingly, “Waterhoof City capital is too small. Even if you sacrifice them, it will not produce that much power. You’ll just be sacrificing them in vain.”
“Correct.”
There was a strong sense of relief and
appreciation in Reuben’s eyes.
It felt as if he was witnessing the rise and transformation of an ambitious and ruthless character.
He had looked into Jasper’s family property, which was actually no secret in high-level domestic business circles.
He started from scratch, and he came from a small family. However, he rose rapidly in the shortest possible time with a speed and method that was borderline miraculous.
He started from a small unknown role, a
small company, to become an
indispensable benchmark for the youths that was valuable for the social upbringing of the next generation in the eyes of the top leaders of Swallow Capital. In a way, he had also become a private commercial aircraft carrier that everyone knew in Somerland.
How long did Jasper take to achieve this?
Not very long.
In less time than one took to finish college, Jasper had completed his transformation from a poor boy to the richest man in the country.
However, all of this was not enough in Reuben’s eyes.
The benchmark figure that Somerland needed now required not only an extraordinary manner and mind who was patriotic. The most important trait he needed to possess was savage ambition and a ruthless character.
Because of Somerland’s recent
development, it would inevitably be suppressed by foreign forces, and in many places where it was inconvenient for the
government to take action, this
benchmark had to stand up.
It was a dog-eat-dog situation that was so terrifying it would turn one’s scalp numb and cause one’s soul to fall into the abyss.
If that person was not savage enough, they might be devoured and wiped out in a n instant.
Now, Reuben saw the ongoing
transformation within Jasper.
This would be contained in the form of a top-secret report in the shortest time to b e sent directly to the highest authorities.
However, it still depended on Jasper to decide how this plan would be carried out.
“I understand.”
Jasper’s two words ended this video call.
Then, Jasper sat alone in the office and refused to see anyone. He also did not accept calls from anyone, even immediately hanging up on all of Anna’s calls. He needed a little time to think. In the last 4 hours, he would squeeze out a little time to weigh this decision.
