“Do you know how difficult opening a bank is? I[‘m pretty sure Paulson thought that I was just kidding,” Jasper shifted backward seamlessly and spoke, “Aren’t we a little too close right now?”
“Are we? I feel the urge to pounce over and devour you now, though.”
Instead of moving back, Celine leaned closer to Jasper. Her eyes shone with the wildness of a big cat.
It was not until she forced Jasper to lean against the armrest with nowhere to go that she snickered evilly. “You’ve said something like this before, but do you know what Paulson said about you? He said he actually saw you opening your own bank the moment you suggested such a thing.
“You’re willing to go so far for me and yet you claim that you don’t want to provide for me? All you think about is how you’re going to take care of my needs, yet you say I’m too close to you. All men do is lie.”
His ear were filled with Celine’s soft voice and his nose was filled with nothing but Celine’s subtle fragrance. All could see was a sheet of white that Celine displayed without care in the world.
“Are you really not afraid of playing with fire?”
Celine laughed aloud at Jasper’s words and sat back down. She stretched her fair and soft calf to knock it against Jasper’s thigh. While executing this rather intimate and amorous act, Celine replied, “Playing with fire’s what I’m good at. Besides, that conflicted and shy expression of yours just now was absolutely adorable.”
Not in the mood to reply to her playful words, Jasper asked, “How many resources can you mobilize in the United States? This is very important, as I need to know before I can carry out the rest of my plans.”
Celine crossed her legs, then reached out to press down on the hem of her skirt so as to not expose her undergarments. Despite this, her eyes were on Jasper the entire time. She huffed lightly upon seeing the man staring solemnly at her. Then she spoke, “Tell me your plan first, then I’ll work with you and mobilize my resources.”

The following day, half the citizens of the United States noticed Sena, the name of a Somerland business, appear on their televisions, radios, and newspapers.
Investors were not unfamiliar with the company.
All financial news portals had more or less covered Somerland’s Sena listing, and every stock expert in the country was giving their opinions on it.
The reality remained that professionals were the same within and outside the country.
Thanks to Celine, a television station had reported another piece of news.
“A banquet was held by Sena’s Business Team from Somerland, alongside investors led by Colossal Investments in DoubleTree Hotel’s banquet hall in Wall Street this year.
“According to a reliable source, the owner of Sena was the mysterious retail investor from the international crude oil futures incident last year. Under his lead, Sena now owns Somerland’s biggest internal portal, as well as a new game, United Legends, that had just hit the market.
“This game has broken the world record for the number of people online on the first day of public beta testing. With a final player base of 2 million online players, the game is undoubtedly the world’s biggest internet game.
“Currently, United Legends has already begun operation and charging fees. According to our reporter in Somerland, combined with the evaluation report Sena had sent to the Nasdaq, United Legends currently has 170 paid players who contribute to Sena’s profit of millions of Somer Dollars.
“Without a doubt, while internet industries around the world continue to think about ways to mitigate their losses, Somerland’s Sena has already begun to save their country’s struggling Internet industry by expanding their business and stepping foot into the gaming industry.
“To some degree, Sena is the only purely Internet company in the world who has resolved monumental issue of turning a profit.”
“As a result, we’ve invited our special commentary export, Mr. David Smith, to tell us how different Sena is…”
Following the news was an unclear picture of Jasper’s side profile.
The picture had been taken from afar, so all they could tell was Jasper’s age range and physique.
