Julian placed a foot over Ned’s chest and spoke coldly, “This is a warning. If you try anything dangerous again, I’ll break more than just your arm.”
‘He broke his arm?!’
Stunned and dazed, everyone snapped back to reality and turned to look at Ned’s arm. They found that his right wrist was bent at a strange angle. It was a shuddering sight.
“Chupse…”
Everyone present sucked in a cold breath.
They did not expect Jasper’s bodyguard to be so strong, especially considering that Ned had fought his way up in Reed City.
Yet when faced with Jasper’s bodyguard, he did not even last a single second.
At that moment, everyone realized that Jasper was someone truly formidable.
As expected, Marcus roared.
“How dare you hurt him, Jasper?!”
Jasper replied calmly, “Everyone in the room saw very clearly that Ned attacked me first. My bodyguard merely countered his attack.”
Marcus had a wretched expression on his face. “You’ve broken Ned’s hand. This isn’t over Jasper!”
“I’d think about how I’m supposed to pay that 950 million first if I were you,” Jasper spoke calmly.
The words cut deep into Marcus’ heart.
“Jasper! F*cking… Fine!” Marcus clenched his jaw, utterly infuriated.
“You’re just making me suffer because you can’t afford that plot of land, hmm?”
Jasper shrugged. “You’ve misunderstood. I saw how much you wanted that plot of land, Mr. Coine, so I had no other choice but to give it to you. After all, I’m just an outsider and I’d never dare to fight a man as powerful as you, Mr. Coine.
“So I’ve decided that I’ll just choose another plot of land to build my factory. Reed City is huge, there’s bound to be somewhere suitable for me.”
Marcus widened his eyes and pointed at Jasper with a trembling finger. He angrily barked out in laughter. “Good! Very good!
“Very f*cking good!
“Just wait, Jasper!”
Marcus then helped Ned up, the latter still whimpering in pain. He glared at Jasper coldly before they left embarrassingly.
With Marcus’s exit, the performance had come to a momentary end as well.
The owners of the two real estate companies shared a look and ran over. They handed Jasper their name cards courteously and told Jasper to look for them if he needed a construction company for his factory, promising great results for a cheap price.
Jasper did not treat the two real estate company owners coldly despite the immense change in their attitudes.
Humans tended to act according to the situation, so how could he expect otherwise from men who had been doing business for decades?
Any less shameless and they would not even have the rights to join Marcus and Jasper in this bid.
After taking the name cards and conversing with the two of them, Jasper watched the two owners leave.
The two owners walked toward the door with excitement and unease. They were just about to leave when they heard Jasper’s voice from behind.
“A 950 million revenue, Mr. Powers. Is it to the city government’s satisfaction?”
At that, the two owners felt their legs give out and almost knelt on the ground.
‘So Jasper has already gotten the city government’s support without anyone realizing?!’
