“You’re allowed to attack me but I’m not allowed to fight back?” Jasper asked.
Morrison’s face was flushed crimson. He was so embarrassed that he was eager to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in it.
He thought that everyone in the executive lounge was laughing at him, especially that idiot Henry Law. The look on the man’s face was as if saying, ‘You’re so embarrassing’.
Morrison clenched his fists and took a deep breath, saying coldly, “You mean to say you’re planning to fight me to the end, huh?”
“This is just a countermeasure that I have to take.” Jasper’s expression turned cold and indifferent as well.
After letting out a malicious chuckle, Morrison glanced coldly at Jasper and said in a low voice, “Aren’t you something, Jasper Laine? Let’s wait and see, then. I’ll double all that you’ve done to me today and return it back to you one day.”
Having said that, Morrison turned around and led his bodyguards away.
Jasper did not stop him.
He and Morrison had officially become sworn enemies. Jasper had met people like Morrison far too often. Morrison would definitely think of a way to get his revenge.
Jasper’s top priority at the moment was to acquire Google as things would change if he dragged it for far too long.
If Morrison intended to fight him to the end, it could spell trouble and stir up great waves. Therefore, Jasper approached Brin and Page immediately to consult other shareholders in order to make decisions about the purchase of shares.
On the other side, Morrison looked terrifyingly grim upon leaving Hilton Hotel.
“Mr. Morrison, shall we continue contacting other Google shareholders and purchase their shares based on the previous offer?” a confidant asked.
“Purchase my *ss!” Morrison cursed.
The confidant clammed up upon seeing Morrison’s forbidding expression.
“We’ll go back. I need to see my father immediately.” Morrison hissed maliciously.
Soon, Morrison got home and found Robin working in his study.
Robin raised his head when he heard the door open and frowned upon seeing the look on Morrison’s face.
“Why do you look so mad? What’s with the slap mark on your face? Did you get into a fight?”
Morrison flew into a rage upon hearing Robin’s questions and spoke between clenched teeth, “Father, I want to destroy Harbor City’s Law family! Henry Law, that idiot, slapped me!”
Robin closed his laptop after hearing what he said and responded flatly, “Do you think Quantum Fund belongs to me?”
Morrison raged, yelling, “Am I supposed to just let him hit me for nothing then?”
“Tell me what happened,” Robin said.
Morrison recounted the incident and hammered his fist on the study desk, saying furiously, “I have never felt more humiliated in my life, nor have I ever suffered such a tremendous loss!”
“Who does Jasper think he is? Have the old birds in Colossal Investments gone crazy? Why are they standing on his side to the extent where they would not even hesitate to threaten Layman?!”
“What do you know?” Robin shook his head. He thought his son was simply too immature.
“Just because you’re my son doesn’t mean you can throw your weight around. After all that’s said and done, Layman is still way more powerful than Quantum. When interests are involved, those old birds will not even show me any respect, let alone show you any.
“What’s more, this is all happening because you offended Colossal. Who do you think you are to have such an insanely arrogant idea?”
Refusing to take it lying down, Morrison said, “But Father, Quantum Fund has made a lot of profits for them under your leadership. Regardless of everything else, they gained a tremendous profit during the Harbor City market share incident last year!”
“That’s what capitalists are. They look at profits, not feelings.” Robin waves his hand. It was clear that he did not take Morrison’s words seriously.
“The Laws aren’t as easy to deal with as you think. They have an extremely firm foundation in Harbor City, and to some extent, the four richest families will advance and retreat together.
“This includes Wallace Langdon, that old fox. Do you think he’s our ally? That old fox is the hardest to deal with and will not hesitate to bite us viciously during critical times.
“More importantly, the Laws share the strongest bond with Somerland’s government, and they will not allow anyone to knock down the reputation they had built so hard for overseas Somer businessmen just like that. Therefore, you can keep dreaming about dealing with the Laws.”
Having said that, Robin looked at the slap mark on Morrison’s face and continued with a frown, “However, this is all just a game theory on a larger scale. What you got involved in with Henry was nothing more than an argument between children. If you’re that capable, use your own capabilities to make Henry suffer losses without anyone fussing over it. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Morrison raised his eyebrows and stood up, saying, “Father, I would like to be transferred to the Terra regional branch of Layman Investment Bank as the president. Please help me.”
Robin pondered for a moment before saying, “Johnson is the current Terra regional branch’s president. He’s too old. Besides, his investment strategies are extremely conservative and he’s being pressured every step of the way by Colossal in the Somerland market, causing dissatisfaction in Layman’s higher-ups from a long time ago…
“I’ll handle this for you, but you must remember that Henry is easier to deal with while Jasper is the real pain in the *ss. No matter what you do, make sure you do it in one clean strike and give him no chance to rise back up. Otherwise, I would suggest you to not do anything at all!”
