“So your target was me all along, Mr. Ball?” Jasper said calmly.
Alban smiled and replied, “I’m a businessman, and I make decisions that benefit me the most I’m sure you understand, Mr. Laine.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes and asked, “Then what role does Old Master Hulbutt play in all this?”
Alban had finally shown his true intentions. The man’s goal was not the Haddock Chamber of Commerce but rather Jasper’s MP5 patents.
Jasper refused to believe that Gale was uninvolved when the man had invited him to attend the forum as the vice president of Haddock’ 5 Chamber of Commerce’s Waterhoof City branch.
Right now, it seemed more like a sinister setup against him.
Jasper had no idea what dirty plan Alban and Gale had plotted out
However, the truth now was that Gale had come up with an excuse to cooperate with Alban and corner him. Meanwhile, Alban had finally shown his true intentions and was about to make a move.
Jasper had only come to this forum conference in return for an asset in the form of Gale’s favor. However, only now did he realize that the old and sly man was backstabbing him.
“We’re talking about a deal between us, Mr. Laine,” Alban sneered and said, ignoring Jasper’ 5 question.
“Deal between us? Is there even a deal to be made? The MP5 patent rights, was it? Sure, 1 billion US Dollars, and I’ll give it to you when you hand me the money. I can give you all my production lines and my factory area too if you want,” Jasper said calmly.
Alban’s smile slowly vanished and he replied forcefully, “It would do you no good to be so temperamental, young man. Being emotional will do you no good, Mr. Laine.”
“Being setup is only normal in the business world and there’s nothing wrong with getting caught. At the very least, it shows you that you’re worth being targeted. It’s truly tragic for people who aren’t even worth the effort for us to scheme against.”
