Life at the Top

Mr. Powers did not know what the two fleeing real estate owners were thinking.

All he knew was that his mind was currently blown.

Mr. Powers had not expected Marcus to actually act so well according to Jasper’s plan.

The plot of land had a starting bid of 100 to 200 million and Mr. Powers believed that it would only come to a maximum of 300 to 400 million.

Mr. Powers had no qualms with that, for it aligned with the city government’s desire to oppress Marcus.

Yet… Jasper had just taken 950 million from Marcus in one go!

“We’re very well aware of Fortune Co., Ltd’s financial situation, Mr. Laine. The entire company is worth around one billion only, and with how much he has to pay this time… I’m afraid it would only cause you trouble.”

Mr. Powers’ words were extremely subtle.

Jasper smiled and replied calmly, “There’s no way I can invest in anything with Marcus still in the picture. Plus, the city government wants to get rid of Marcus too, correct? I believe the city government’s and my interests align on this topic. I’m sure that you wouldn’t want someone to slander the reputation of Reed City either, right?”

With that, Jasper then clapped Mr. Powers on the shoulder. “I understand that there are many things the city government is not in the position to do, so I’ll do them for you instead. All I hope is that the city government is able to provide me support during necessary times.”

Mr. Powers replied sternly, “I’ll make sure to relay your message word for word, Mr. Laine.”

Jasper politely bade Mr. Powers farewell and called out to Julian before he exited the meeting room while stretching.
