Life at The Top novel Chapter 1129

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.

Henry had a weird expression on his face when he heard Jasper’s claim.

Jasper was absolutely horrible.

Henry remembered from Jasper’s analysis that no matter what they did today, they would only be able to severely injure Seatreasures Group. After all, this was a comprehensive group worth 40 billion on the market; Completely destroying it was unrealistic.

Not to mention that they were a comprehensive group, meaning that they could always just halt trading at any moment and leave the market. Other than a heavy blow to their commercial reputation, they would not suffer too much.

Seatreasures Group would not die, not while their pharmaceutical factories, sales channels, and patented medical technology were still around.

Hence, Jasper had only ever planned to earn a sum of money and leave.

Yet, here the man was, using the difference in available information to make a trade. Jasper was using his initial plan as a bargaining chip to force Dudley to strike a deal to maximize his benefits.

What else, if not being absolutely horrible?

At the same time, Henry was also curious. He wanted to know what trash like Dudley could possibly offer Jasper.

What piqued Henry’s curiosity also happened to be the same thing Dudley was confused about

“What do you want me to do?” Dudley asked.

Jasper rapped his finger against the table and went straight to the point. He did not hold anything back. “Don’t you think that it’s an eyesore to have a branch of Haddock’s Chamber of Commerce in a place like Waterhoof City?”

Both Dudley and Henry sucked in a cold breath.

No one expected Jasper’s secondary plan.

Dudley’s stared at Jasper, his emotions unstable.
