“Not to mention that you tried to secretly skip half of the loan process before the company was even substantively established. I’m sure there’s no need for me to specify how you planned to use the loan and how you planned to set me up, right?”
Jasper smiled and pointed at the group of stern-looking officers, saying, “I trust them. They wouldn’t take action without concrete evidence, which implies that they’ve done a very extensive and detailed investigation. After all, the head of the Monty family is a prominent figure in Southeast Province. It wouldn’t be right if they were to arrest falsely.”
There was not a shred of emotion in the stern middle-aged man’s face as he spoke, “Since we’ve already decided to take action, then we wouldn’t be arresting the wrong person. Conrad Monty, would you like to come with us yourself or should we bring you away by force?”
This was as rude as they could be.
Conrad’s superior status was the only reason he was being given such special treatment by these people working in special departments like this. Anyone else would have been arrested and dragged to the station without the chance to do so much blabbering.
Still, since they were taking action, it was without a doubt that they would be leaving with Conrad in tow.
Conrad’s eyes flared with anger and fear. He was overwhelmed with conflicting emotions. He never thought that after all he had done, he would land himself behind bars in the end.
This explained why Jasper did not have a reaction when the incident regarding the partnered company came to light. Jasper’s lack of activity was not in line with Conrad’s understanding of Jasper.
It had not made sense to Conrad then, but he did not dwell on the matter as the follow-up plan to attack Sena’s share prices was much more important.
Jasper’s counter-attack finally appeared now.
“You never once gave up taking revenge on me, Jasper! You’ve been preparing in secret all this while! Fine, you win!” Conrad ground his teeth and growled.
Jasper stood from the chair and looked Conrad straight in the eye, speaking calmly, “Just like how you never gave up on attacking me. Think about it, since when have I ever taken the initiative to offend you?
“Every incident stemmed from you thinking that my existence is standing between you and your interests. Or perhaps you think my existence is a threat to your title of being Southeast Province’s first genius in 50 years.
“You act as though only by completely defeating me can you secure your beautiful title as the first genius in 50 years.
“But has it ever crossed your mind that I was never interested in something like that?
“All I’m interested in is the benefits I have in hand and the benefits I’m about to have in hand. Just these two, that’s it. What people think and say is up to them, I don’t care. So why are you going so far and running yourself down just to get rid of me?”
Jasper sighed lightly and looked at Conrad before speaking calmly, “Don’t even think about getting a cent back from the two billion you threw into Sena. I can promise you, it’s not happening.”
Conrad’s eyes widened as he glared at Jasper, roaring, “You wouldn’t dare, Jasper!”
Jasper did not speak anymore.
The middle-aged man walked over to stand in front of Conrad and spoke expressionlessly, “I’ll ask you one more time, Conrad Monty. Are you coming with us yourself or do we have to bring you away forcefully?”
Conrad trembled, and his complexion changed abnormally before it flushed red like he was drunk. With a roar, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood that held what little strength he had left in his body.
Everyone watched as Conrad’s eyes rolled back before the man fell limply onto the floor.
