He was not the only one. Norman, who was with him, also had a tense expression on his face.
The person standing beside them was the person in charge from Nauritius City’s government, and he sounded somewhat delighted and proud as he introduced the two to the site.
“Excluding Swallow Capital, Waterhoof City, and Cavern City, the Southface River project is the most advanced and modern city construction project in the country.
“Furthermore, it’s also currently the most important project in the province. Once this project is completed, it’ll help enhance the province in terms of the level of influence and competitiveness!
“It’s currently about 40% completed, and we estimate it’ll be fully completed by the first half of the next year!”
Norman felt annoyed as he listened to him talk.
He and Ian had not made the trip from Waterhoof City to listen to people praise Jasper’s ability!
“I would never have believed a 20-year-old boy was in charge of such a massive project if I hadn’t witnessed it with my own two eyes.”
Norman spoke in a heavy tone.
“I always thought Dawson was in charge of this. Who would have imagined that Dawson is just a supervisor while the actual mastermind is Jasper! Seems like we’ve grossly misunderstood the dynamics between Jasper and Dawson.”
Ian spoke after a long pause, “Impressive.
“If Jasper goes on like this for another ten years, I’m guessing that not even we will have the guts to challenge him anymore.”
Norman huffed as he said, “I admit that he has potential, but he’s still not that powerful compared to us now. Most importantly, look at how old he is. What tricks could he have witnessed in his lifetime? We’ll have him running circles around us if we just put a little more thought into things!”
Ian smiled. He had the same thoughts as Norman before he arrived at the site.
However, for some inexplicable reason, he had a bad feeling now as he stood with his back to the Southface River. He looked at the construction site, which was slowly revealing its majestic aura like a giant beast.
The south bank was a pearl of great price. However, was it a wise choice to develop the north bank just to get back at Jasper?
Ian’s emotions were turbulent. He felt as if he had boarded a train that had left the station and it was too late for him to get down.
Just then, the person in charge said, “Here come the people from JW Real Estate!”
Ian and Norman glanced over. They saw a crowd of people walking toward them, and among them was a young man they would recognize even if he had been burnt to crisps. He was surrounded by the rest of the people, just like how stars surrounded the moon.
Jasper strode toward them. His posture and movement conveyed his confidence.
Ian suppressed his emotions. There was no point in shying away now. The only thing he could do was fight to the death!
When Ian and Norman glanced at Jasper, he also noticed them.
Their gazes met mid-air. Electrical sparks seemed to crackle and flare in the silence.
When Jasper and his companions got nearer to them, they heard Jasper chuckling as he said, “Mr. Hull! Mr. Gardner! Why didn’t you let me know in advance that you would be making the trip here from Waterhoof City? If word got out, people would accuse me of being disrespectful and mistreating my seniors who’ve come as guests.”
Jasper’s opening statement was nothing but respectful, and he had a friendly posture as he spoke.
However, Ian and Norman were experienced. They could sense the hidden sarcasm behind Jasper’s speech.
