Life at the Top

Chapter 198

Jasper’s words shocked everyone into looking solemn.

No one expected Jasper, who usually appeared so cultured and refined, to look so terrifying when he got angry.

Henry almost burst out laughing at one side.

“Listen. Listen to that. What a beastly statement.”

Henry only thought of one word while listening to Jasper scold Jake.

‘Great!’

It was so great that it felt refreshing!

Henry wanted to laugh out loud when he saw Jake’s face that looked as if he had eaten dog excrement.

Jake was stumped for words.

To him, a hillbilly from Mainland would be very gutsy if he could say a complete sentence without stammering in front of him.

However, what was going on now?

Was he being berated now?

Was he being scolded?

He felt angry and wronged as a series of emotions became intertwined in his heart. Jake’s face was green, and his entire body was trembling.

He stared fixedly at Jasper, and his eyes were filled with so much bitter resentment.

However, when he saw the two bodyguards who were waiting longingly for him to explode, Jake burst out laughing suddenly.

He was laughing from anger.

“Alright, hot stuff. Okay, I won’t talk. I’ll see how you’re going to lose later! If you cause the market rescue to fail because of your problems, then let me tell you, no one will be able to save you when that happens!”

Jake’s tone was extremely cold. It was as if he was hoping for Jasper to face a crushing defeat. He wanted the Laws and the government to know that it was their biggest mistake to have chosen this hillbilly from Mainland over him!

“Are you hoping that I’ll fail?” Jasper looked at Jake and asked flatly. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Jake scoffed, and there was visible disdain on his face. He said, “This is a battle of capitals of hundreds of billions. This is a capital trade war! Do you even know what you need?

“You need structure! You need foresight and strategy! You’re just a country bumpkin from Mainland, so what do you even know?

“Do you think you know the capital trade war just because you’ve made a few coins from stock speculation?

“Please take a piss and look at yourself in the reflection. I just can’t bear watching the funds from the four rich families and the government being wasted by an ignorant country bumpkin like you!”

Jasper placed his hands behind his back and watched Jake coldly. He said, “What if I win?”

It was as if Jake had heard the funniest joke in the world. He pointed at the floor and said, “If you win, I’ll kneel in front of you in front of the four rich families of Harbor City. I’ll grovel to you and admit my mistakes. Then, I’ll formally become your apprentice!

“Same goes the other way. If you lose, you need to kneel, grovel, admit your mistakes, and apologize to me. You don’t need to become my apprentice. You’re not worthy!”

Jake smirked and looked at Jasper. He did not believe that Jasper would agree to these circumstances.

Even though he did not know what kind of spell Jasper had cast on the Laws to make them support him so much, so what?

Everything depended on one’s ability in the finance market.

You could not do anything you want just because you have someone powerful backing you up.

“If you don’t dare to do it, then hand over the authority to command. Tell the government that you’re a piece of trash and you’re just a country bumpkin from Mainland who’s not brave enough to gamble!’

The smile on Jake’s face was sinister and malicious. “Don’t do something that you’ll regret forever because you’re impulsive. You have to think carefully. This is a trade war that is worth hundreds of billions and not the child’s play of millions or tens of millions you’re used to in Mainland.

“Everyone is watching the stock market in Harbor City and you want to host the market rescue this time? Are you even qualified for this?”
