Life at the Top

“Forget the fact that you’re dominating everything, Jasper, but you’re not even going to give others a chance to make money? Aren’t you afraid that your ruthlessness will come and bite you back in the *ss?”

Conrad’s gaze darkened as he roared. He felt the urge to punch Jasper in the face.

Jasper looked at him confusedly and asked, “What do you mean? You’re making this into more of an issue than it is, Mr. Monty. I don’t think I follow.”

“Stop f*cking pretending to be clueless!” Conrad roared.

“We’re all intelligent people here, what’s the point of this clueless act of yours?

“What’s the meaning behind the official music library, huh? Tell me what MP3 player doesn’t need to download music! You’re just trying to make the entire market yours with that official music library and wanting to attack pirated sites, aren’t you?!”

Conrad was infuriated when he thought about how the mountain of goods in his warehouse was done for and could not be sold. It was a loss not even the Monty family could endure.

Coupled with the aluminum mine incident, Jasper had struck the Monty family hard twice.

‘The Monty family is rich, but it can’t take such a series of attacks.’

At that train of thought, Conrad felt like his heart had been pierced through with needles.

“Weren’t you the one who kept saying I have to do things legally, Mr. Monty? Supporting the official version and ownership, correct? Or perhaps you don’t agree with me attacking pirated music?” Jasper asked with a smile.

Conrad took a deep breath and spoke sinisterly, “You’ll anger a lot of people like this, Jasper.”

“That’s alright. After all, the official music library is free to everyone who buys Mellow. As for imported MP3 players, sure, as long as the consumers pay. After all, I need to pay my employees in the entertainment companies salaries, and who wouldn’t take money served on a silver platter?” Jasper spoke calmly.

this is what you have in mind then, making money? You’re a cruel man. Fine, I admit my loss. How do

shook his head. “I meant those with imported foreign MP3 players are allowed to pay for access to my music library. But as for competitors within the country, I’m sorry, we’re ultimately still rivals. There’s no way I’d let my competitor steal my market
