Life at the Top

Jasper’s words brightened Dudley’s infinitely dark world like a lightbulb.

He stopped shouting and struggling, opting to instead look at Jasper with eyes widened in disbelief.

Jasper was unsurprised by Dudley’s reaction. He had Julian let go of the man as Jasper pointed at the empty chair before him and said, “If you’re interested, how about we sit down and talk?”

Dudley could instinctively feel that Jasper had an ulterior motive. The man could not be so kind.

Yet, Jasper’s offer was too tempting…

After some thought, Dudley walked over to Jasper and sat down.

“Very good. See? Now that we’re off to a good start, we’re already halfway there. I’m sure we’ll have a very happy partnership.” Jasper chuckled.

Dudley took a deep breath and asked, “Are you really willing to stop the attack, and rescue Seatreasures Group?”

Jasper waved him off and replied, “I don’t mind stopping my attacks, but I don’t have any say in letting Seatreasures Group off the hook.”

Dudley was enraged and he accused, “So you really are lying to me! In that case, what partnership can there be?”

“The capitalist market has already started to encircle Seatreasures Group. You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you that I could leave the market right now and have these predatory organizations finish the group off, would you?”

“It’d be a lie if I told you that I can save Seatreasures Group.”

Dudley’s expression flickered drastically.

He might have been a useless trust-fund child, but he still had common knowledge of finance.

He also knew that Seatreasures Group was currently being surrounded by hungry wolves, and that Jasper did not have the power to determine what would happen at such a time.

“But, if I leave the market, then you will have sliver of hope. All those other organizations want is to earn money. Seatreasures Group just needs to take out a sum of money to feed them and they will stop their attack.”

“It would be a harsh blow to the group, but you will survive this incident.”

Jasper continued after he saw how Dudley had calmed down again.
