Life at The Top novel Chapter 136

”You…”

Zane was terrified by Jasper’s gaze. Subconsciously, he took a step back and fixed his gaze on his father, Bob.

“Young man, you’re indeed different from the other youngsters!”

Bob stared at Jasper, exasperated. His eyes glittered with an icy cold layer. It had been a while since he was this disgruntled.

All this while, it had always been him who looked at the mad expressions filled with grievances of the people he was blackmailing.

Since when was it his turn to be in the shoes of those being blackmailed while staring at another who was sitting tall and mighty?

Furthermore, it was a person whose age was the same as his son!

“Director Lancaster, we’re now having a business discussion. We shouldn’t let others run their mouth.” Jasper was not fazed by Bob. Instead, he was looking at Bob calmly.

Hearing him made Bob’s expression darken. His expression that was initially already angry looked even madder now.

“What do you mean, young man?”

Jasper said after hearing Bob’s comment, “Director Lancaster, you can’t seriously be thinking that I spent billions to purchase 37% of the shares of Megan Company just because I got into an argument with some brat?”

‘Brat?’

Zane clenched his fist. He was so mad that his body was shaking, but he dared not speak. He did not even have the courage to lift his head as he was afraid to see his father’s burning gaze.

Bob leaned on the big chair. He squinted his eyes and lighted a cigarette before sneering, “Hey youngster, are you declaring war against me?”

Jasper tapped on his temple and said, “In my mind, there’s no such thing as war, only trading. Right now, I have the chips, and it’s up to Director Lancaster whether or not you’re willing to pay the price to purchase these chips back.”

Bob extinguished the cigarette bud ruthlessly and said coldly, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll launch a reverse takeover on you?”

In the financial world, one could buy with force, and naturally, there would be anti-takeovers as well.

Bob could use a vast amount of assets to purchase other shares of Megan Company and that would grant him the advantage over his ratio of shares.

However, if that occurred, it would be a genuine business war, which would not end if neither side crumbled.

Jasper said calmly, “The achievement of Megan Company is increasing annually. It’s considered one of the rare blue chip stocks. I’m guessing that apart from me, there will be tons of people out there having an interest in the shares of Megan Company. Why don’t you make a guess how difficult it’ll be for me to let go of the 37% of shares I’m currently holding, Director Lancaster?”

Bob’s pupils shrunk slightly. Even though he was exasperated, he had to admit that Jasper had grasped his weak point.

All these years, he had managed to blackmail others through shares. There would be tons of enemies out there. How was it possible for him to still be so carefree?

That was because Bob had never given other people a chance to invade his company.
