“That’s why I’m here to give you a final chance. Here is 300 million dollars. If you’re willing to bow to my conditions, take the money and hand the project over to me. If you you’re unwilling to do so, the province may soon find itself left with only the Southface River north bank in a few months’ time. Haha, the south bank might just cease to exist.”
Jasper got up too. He looked Ian in the eye directly and said, “In that case, I’ll announce my stance here today as well.
“Since you’re not playing by the rules, let’s go against each other with the best of our abilities.
“I don’t have other abilities except being able to earn money fast. Even if I lose a few million or a few billion dollars, it won’t matter much to me!
“Since you’re so much older than me, I hope that you’re able to maintain the haughty sense of superiority that you currently possess, Mr. Hull. If you keep it up, you won’t lose too uglily when the time comes.”
Ian’s expression darkened. He glared at Jasper and growled, “Do you really intend to go against me till the very end?”
“I’m operating my business well, but you just had to go around causing trouble. You even resorted to using dirty tricks to cut off the supply of building materials to my construction site. Am I really the one going against you?” Jasper asked firmly.
“In any case, it’s good to phrase it that way as well, because I genuinely will go against you till the very end!”
Ian let out an angry bark of laughter. “Well, well, well, young people are hot-headed and stubborn indeed. I truly admire this attitude of yours. You won’t repent till you face total failure. Let’s see how this goes!” He exclaimed.
“I’m giving you a chance right now. You’re the one who rejected my act of kindness. When the time comes, you won’t even be able to find a corner to cry in peace!”
After Ian finished speaking, a knock suddenly rang out from Jasper’s office door.
“Come in,” Jasper said.
Sean Tucker entered the room with an overjoyed expression splayed across his face.
He was just about to say something when he caught sight of Ian Hull standing in Jasper’s office.
Being someone that was extremely observant, Sean could tell that the two of them had just been engaged in an unpleasant conversation at just a glance.
Just as he was questioning whether to discuss the news or not, Jasper told him, “If there’s anything to report, say it in front of Mr. Hull. There’s nothing that can’t be said anyways.”
Sean smirked and glanced at Ian with a satisfied gaze. “Mr. Laine, the company that you previously mentioned has agreed to our request. They promised to do their best to find building materials for us at cost prices.
“Furthermore, this company is really quite capable. Although it isn’t large in size, it’s deeply involved in the local market. The building materials that it can provide are enough to meet 80% of our needs.”
Since Ian was there, Sean was glad to announce the news before him in order to strike him with a blow.
However, Sean wasn’t a fool. He wisely hid the key information, which were the names of Brac County and Ambition Corporation, so that Ian could not tamper with their plans.
Jasper was extremely satisfied with Sean’s sensibility. He smiled at Ian, who had an unpleasant expression on his face. Mr. Hull, it seems like everything isn’t under your control after all,” he said.
Ian’s face twitched in anger. His skin felt hot to the touch.
He did not expect Jasper to have come up with a plan so soon after he had cut off the supply of building materials to his construction site. This was right after he had told Jasper that nobody would provide building materials to him at the risk of offending himself.
“Right, Mr. Hull. I have a suggestion for you as well. I hope you take it into consideration.”
Jasper looked at Ian and spoke in a slow and controlled tone, “I can acquire all of the businesses under your name for 3 million dollars, Mr. Hull. This proposal is effective in the long term. You can come to me and kneel down before me for 3 million dollars in cash on the day when you find yourself in a situation with no way out.”
