Life at the Top

Chapter 296

After he said that, Jasper smiled and turned around to look at Jim who was feeling excited. “Uncle Yapp, the lobster bisque tastes pretty good. It’s thick and creamy but not greasy. Do you want some?”

Jim looked seriously at Jasper. He felt like he could not see through this young man anymore. He was unflustered and there was an air of arrogance emitting from his ordinary, modest self. Compared to a hedonistic son of rich parents like Hector, Jasper was ranked much higher.

In comparison to Jasper, he was scared of Hector’s background and thus was fearful in everything he did when faced with the man. He did not dare to fight the world when he was impoverished anymore.

Jim guffawed boldly and picked up the bowl. He laughed and said, “Alright, let me try the food from this chef who has worked in a palace before.”

Jim said as he took some bisque for himself.

However, at this moment, Hector, who had been ignored and suppressed this whole time, could not stand it anymore.

He stood up suddenly and lifted his hand to turn the table over.

With a loud whoosh, everything on the table was scattered to the floor.

The bisque and sauces were all over the place, and the scene was a mess. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Hector stood at the side of the table that had been pushed over and said sinisterly, “If you don’t give me an easy time, then none of you will have an easy time too! Do you really think you can take down Easy Media just because you have money?”

While he said that, Hector looked gloomily at the King brothers who were petrified. He pointed at Jasper and said, “You two, think properly! Are you sure you want to sell him the company?”

Leo and Noah looked at each other as beads of cold sweat started to pour down their faces.

“Mr. Combe, um, Mr. Laine is too straightforward and we didn’t think—”

“Stop bullsh*tting!” Hector interrupted the brothers roughly. He turned around to look at Jasper and said frigidly, “Jasper, I’ll say this now. If you insist on fighting me, then it means you’re determined to fight with me until death!”

Jasper stood up too. He said indifferently, “Mr. Combe, it’s no use depending on the status of the elders in your family to buy something. It’s either you take out the money, or you leave. I’m taking out 500 million, what about you?”

Jim almost burst out laughing after he heard Jasper saying this.

Even though Hector had a powerful background, Jim felt extremely pleased right now when he saw Jasper pressuring Hector with his large amount of capital. Hector was on the brink of exploding from anger but could not say anything.

Hector was indeed stronger than Jasper in terms of background and resources.

However, if they were going to compete in terms of money, he was not Jasper’s rival at all.

When Jasper was reborn, the market price for Easy Media was 11.5 billion. As such, this price right now was very low.

Since Jasper had seven billion in cash right now, he did not care whether Easy Media was selling for 500 million or six billion.

Hector glared at the King brothers. Indeed, those two brothers were still mortified. However, they seemed to be siding with Jasper from the look in their eyes.

After all, Hector had disclosed the price before and he said he would only be able to pay 200 million at most.

There was a 300 million price difference now.

This was such a big difference that was enough for the King brothers to resist their fear against Hector’s power.

They could take the money and bail. ‘Even if Hector is all that, will he follow us out of the country?’

Leo and Noah looked at each other at the same time with the same idea in their hearts.

Money has been able to move someone since ancient times.

This was what it meant.

“You may have the riches, but I’m worried that you won’t have the life to enjoy it!” Hector said coldly.

Jasper lifted his gaze to look into Hector’s eyes. He laughed and said, “Could it be that you, Mr. Combe, are able to conquer the world with just one hand?”

Hector chuckled coldly and said, “I’m giving you another chance. Take back your asking price! 200 million! Leo, Noah, think it through!”

The last sentence was obviously directed at the King brothers.

Leo and Noah looked at each other before looking carefully at Jasper.

This subconscious move angered Hector so much that he wanted to hit someone.

Jasper smiled indifferently and said, “Mr. Leo, Mr. Noah, I won’t take back my offer price. I’ll buy it for 500 million. You should think about who you want to sell it to.”

This was the first time Hector felt so infuriated after looking at the King brothers falling into a dilemma.

This was already something in the bag, but he did not expect Jasper to hurt him with his capital.

Now, Jasper was brazenly attacking him with his money just like how he usually used his power and background to make people bow down to him.

The King brothers said 500 million. Then, fine, 500 million. Jasper would buy it.
