After hearing Jasper’s words, Hector and Jacob felt rather touched.
Flattered, Hector immediately plastered a smile across his face. “It’s all thanks to your detailed plan, Mr. Laine. We were just doing as you said. We didn’t do much,” he said.
Jasper smiled and replied, “Although I was the one who prepared the script, you guys needed to act your part well for this to work. Otherwise, this act wouldn’t have succeeded.
“According to our agreement, you guys can take 30% of the 500 million dollars that Sebastian Walker lost tonight, and the rest will be transferred to the account that I have given you guys by tomorrow.”
Hector and Jacob felt their eyes twitch after listening to what Jasper said.
They were not shocked because the sum was too small. Rather, it was too large.
They had previously thought that it would be good enough if they managed to squeeze out a hundred million dollars from Sebastian Walker via his gambling. In that case, they would get 30% of it, which would amount to thirty million dollars. It was not a large sum.
However, they had obtained 500 million dollars now. 30% of the sum was more than a hundred million dollars. They did not dare to ask for such a large sum of money.
“Mr. Laine, that’s way too much. We didn’t do much. Why don’t we take 10%…”
Jasper interjected Hector while he was speaking. “There’s no need for this. I told you that I’d give you the money. No matter how much the amount, I’ll give you the share that we agreed upon. This is what the two of you deserve. Jim Yapp will send someone to contact you for the transfer of his company shares tomorrow.”
Jasper then stood up and walked toward the door. “Wrap up everything nicely over here. I’m busy with other stuff, so I’ll be going first,” he said.
Jasper led Julian out of the villa suavely.
Hector and Jacob met eyes. The excitement in their gazes was evident.
This was more than a hundred million dollars!
For a young man from a wealthy family like Hector Combe, this was an extravagant sum. Although the Combes were wealthy, Hector’s personal assets did not even reach a hundred million dollars!
However, he now had everything in the blink of an eye!
Hector felt like he was caught in a fever dream.
“Is this what it feels like to ride someone else’s coattails? This is f*cking amazing,” Hector mumbled.
Jacob gave their tasks more thought. He told Hector, “We should contact the two trustees that you found and tell them about the remaining tasks. After that, we’ll give them more money so that they can leave Swallow Capital and go overseas immediately. It’ll be best if they never returned for the rest of their lives.”
Hector immediately nodded. “Right, this is an urgent matter!”
…
Morning sunlight filtered into the restaurant through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows. Jasper and Dawson were chatting about the order of incidents that had occurred over these past few days.
“Sebastian Walker is done for,” Jasper said matter-of-factly.
Dawson was dazed after listening to what he said.
Dawson knew how hard it was to go against someone like Sebastian Walker. Strictly speaking, although there were many unknown factors surrounding the battle ten years ago, it was a known fact that he had lost to Sebastian.
However, Jasper had managed to defeat Sebastian in just a few days’ time.
Dawson played out Jasper’s plan in his mind repeatedly as Jasper briefed him about his entire scheme.
“Your plan was actually not that complicated. You succeeded because you managed to grasp the fatal flaw in Sebastian’s nature. In the eyes of someone that has experienced it firsthand in the past, this scheme wasn’t exceptionally complex.
“However, you did something that most people wouldn’t. You centered your plan around the contextual circumstances and conditions. You came up with a plan that was tailored specifically to Sebastian Walker’s unique characteristics. It would have been hard for him to not to fall for it. Excellent. This is simply excellent.”
Dawson praised him from the bottom of his heart.
Previously, he was just satisfied with Jasper. After all, Jasper was still a little too young and needed more real-world experience.
