“I’m warning you, Jasper. Downstream Investment Company isn’t something the Covington family wants to buy. There’s someone ever more powerful behind who’s interested in it! You’re only going to get yourself screwed over if you keep acting so stubborn!”

Only someone with very powerful contacts could include a priceless license along with the sale of a state-funded investment company.

Therefore, Jasper could believe that someone extremely powerful had pulled the strings in question.
