Samuel stared at the garish numbers on the computer screen blankly. He felt like a mouthful of blood was rushing from his stomach straight to his throat.
“How is it possible? How is this possible!?” Samuel yelled in disbelief.
“How could 800,000 possibly turn into six million in a day? This is impossible! It’s a ruse, it must be a ruse!
“Did you deliberately use fake software to deceive me?” Samuel glared at Jasper fiercely and roared madly.
“Your imagination isn’t bad,” Jasper praised.
Kai, on the other hand, was not so good-tempered. He decided to close the position of the futures quickly before immediately withdrawing the money.
He pressed into the text message on his phone notifying him that 6.8 million had been credited into his account and then threw the phone in front of Samuel.
“Open your eyes and take a good look. Could this text message be faked?”
Samuel looked at the genuine text message on the phone and was completely dumbfounded.
“No way!”
Samuel thought of something and suddenly exploded. He stared at Jasper and growled, “Give me my money back!”
Samuel was rich compared to ordinary people, but it was not to the point where he could throw six million away like this.
Otherwise, he would not have gone to great lengths to try taking a 30% commission from Kai, much less stay in the office all day just for this bet with Jasper.
Samuel was worth a little more than ten million at best. Taking six million away from him at once was tantamount to taking away half his life.
In a fit of rage, Samuel completely tossed his dignity aside and reached out to grab the check from Jasper’s pants pocket.
However, John stepped in and stopped in front of Jasper. John, who was tall and strong, looked very intimidating. He glared at Samuel and said, “What’s the matter? You were willing to gamble but are now unwilling to admit defeat? You still wish to commit robbery in broad daylight?”
Samuel’s face turned red with anger. He roared, “This is clearly a damned trap that the two of you had deliberately set up to trick me into the game! I won’t accept it!”
“Mr. Ray.”
Jasper spoke coolly.
“You seem to not understand something.
“No one dragged you into this bet. It was you who wanted to join in. Besides, until half an hour ago, you had been very sure that you would win and even fantasized about how you would spend the six million that you thought I’d lose to you, right?”
Samuel gritted his teeth so hard it creaked. He stared at Jasper coldly and said, “Kid, it’s easy for you to take my money but it won’t be easy for you to spend it. Since you dare take my money, beware of not being alive to spend it.”
“Oh? It looks like Mr. Ray is planning to play some tricks?” Jasper chuckled and said coolly.
“Back then when Hugh lost the bet with me, even he didn’t dare owe me the bargaining chip he lost to me, let alone you?”
Samuel’s eyelids jerked upon hearing these words.
Samuel knew all too well the kind of person Hugh was.
It was Hugh who had held him down and made him forever the second-best in Faith County.
It was not that Samuel did not think of forcibly taking over the leading position. He had even tried several times but was oppressed by Hugh every time, making him suffer heavy losses.
Later on, Samuel became too afraid of Hugh, and only then did he give up his idea of fighting against Hugh.
However, Hugh had suddenly lost one day. It was an unexpected opportunity for Samuel. Not only did he take over most of Hugh’s businesses, but his own business had also flourished.
Samuel once thought he was the chosen one. Even though he did not make a move against Hugh, Hugh still dropped from the top of the ladder on his own.
Yet now, when he suddenly heard Hugh’s name from Jasper’s mouth, Samuel was a little confused.
“Who exactly are you?” Samuel stared at Jasper and spat out the words through gritted teeth.
“Samuel Ray, you’ve been too proud and unbridled all this while, which has made you supercilious. You don’t put anyone in your eyes at all.”
John said to Samuel coolly, a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
