“Mr. Chairman, it might take some time before I can bring Jasper down.”

At this moment, Soros was in a call with a solemn expression on his face.

“No need. There’s been a change of plans. Take out all the funds from Somerland’s stock market. Soros, you have already completed your mission. As for Jasper… He will get what he deserves.”

Soros stood in place, indignant as he listened to the other person talk before hanging up the phone. Still, there was nothing he could do but sigh. He was just an employee, and it was his duty to follow orders like a piece of chess on the board.

Thus, he dialed the number that his heart deeply disliked.

The call went through and Soros began to talk in a raspy voice, “You didn’t win, Jasper, nor did we lose. But I have to admit, that I myself had lost to you.”

Jasper did not react to this statement. He knew that Soros would not call him out of the blue just to admit defeat. The true importance of the call was what came next.

“This fight ends here. You’re a smart man, I’m sure you can find out the reasoning behind it. That’s all I wanted to say, Mr. Laine. I’m tired, I’m going to get a nice sleep.”

Soros did not wait for Jasper to respond and immediately ended the call after he said what he wanted. He did not want to hear Jasper’s victorious tone, nor be reminded of Jasper’s face that he detested immensely.

Jasper remained rooted in place for a long while after the “beep” that signified the end of the call.

“Hey, Jasper, what happened? Don’t you dare let anything affect you right now!”

Realizing that Jasper was frozen in place, Lord Alvarado approached the former to pat his shoulder and ask carefully.
