There were too many people paying attention to this news.
It had also brought a huge impact.
Even Dwayne, someone who was used to being part of huge occasions like this, found himself with a parched throat and a pounding heart.
Colin raised his head stiffly, looking at Conrad for the first time.
His gaze was an exceedingly complicated one.
He opened his mouth with much difficulty and said in a slow yet determined tone, “I… agree.”
When those two words left his lips, there was only silence. No one spoke, and everyone was holding their breaths.
Then, for some reason, everyone sighed in unison.
The direction of the company had been decided.
Ultimately, victory or defeat had been determined.
Jasper won.
Conrad, a genius that only appeared once every half a century, lost.
He lost thoroughly and completely.
The audience looked warily at both parties.
Conrad slumped on the chair as though his soul had left his body. There was a slightly dull and bleary look on his face. His palms were still bleeding, and this made him look both wretched and sinister.
As for Jasper, he remained calm and breezy, looking as though he had just accomplished an insignificant task. There was a hint of weariness amidst the calmness on his face, like nothing about this meeting could excite him.
Mitch was livid. He slowly turned around and gave Conrad a death stare, saying, “This is the fun you wanted me to watch? It’s really fun indeed—simply hilarious!”
Conrad trembled, finally coming back to his senses. He stood up abruptly.
Mitch was sitting next to him, and the sudden movement startled him. He looked at Conrad and was about to yell at him when he was taken aback by the man’s sinister and ghastly expression.
Mitch had never seen anything like it. This was an expression that no ordinary people should have.
“Jasper!”
Conrad roared in an ear-piercing voice. His roar sounded like the howling of a mad beast.
“You want to fight it out with me, huh? Don’t forget that I still hold 40% of the shares. So what if you kick me out of the board of directors? Worst comes to worst, I’ll use the Monty family’s aluminum mine that’s worth tens of billions in assets to fight you to the end!”
The Monty family had plenty of assets. Skyward Aluminum might be one of their core industries, but it was one of the many and certainly not everything. It was not a crucial industry that they could not give up either.
“I’ve never suffered defeat but I didn’t think I would win all the time either. Even so, I certainly won’t lose to you! Who do you think you are?! You’re just a piece of rubbish that crawled up from the bottom-most layer. You don’t deserve to win!
“You’d better listen up. Yes, you may have won, but I’ve not lost yet. I would rather destroy this company that’s worth tens of billions than let you have it!”
As Conrad roared like he had gone insane, Jasper interlocked his fingers and propped up his chin. He waited in silence for Conrad to finish.
After that, he said slowly, “Sure.”
Sure?!
Jasper agreed to it?
He agreed to Conrad destroying this company that was worth tens of billions?
Why would Jasper even bother spending tens of billions then?
Everyone was struck dumb by what Jasper said.
Everyone but Young Master Law. He felt a sense of superiority, as though everyone was drunk and he alone was sober. He was even itching to laugh out loud.
This was such a great show to watch!
Henry was well aware of how capable Jasper was and knew the way he handled things better than anyone. To him, earning money was not at all a difficult task. Jasper would only need to ask and the Laws, or even Gale alone, could easily sponsor him with tens of billions at any time!
Moreover, Jasper had ways to make the same amount of money in the shortest time possible. Could Conrad do the same?
