“Escalate this to a dispute between the East and the West?” The smile on Echo’s face dissipated and was replaced with a solemn expression.
Echo was not a fool, and that was why he was able to get to his current position. Such a huge thing would involve too many people. He could not involve himself in this.
Therefore, Echo‘s primary consideration at this time was his personal safety if he raised this significant matter to the higher-ups.
He pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled and said, “Interesting.”
Looking at Conrad, Echo said, “Do you know what will happen if Fabian does this?”
Conrad said calmly after nodding, “Of course, once the plan is successful, we will make Wall Street hate Jasper. Then, Jasper will inevitably be crushed into fine powder in the first wave of retaliatory attacks from Wall Street.”
“No matter how powerful Jasper is, it is impossible to counter the strength of the entirety Wall Street. This power is enough to defeat any country in the world, let alone an individual.”
“Well, Wall Street will not be satisfied with a nobody like Jasper. So, what do you think they will do later?”
Upon hearing these words, Echo narrowed his eyes slightly and he was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he laughed, “You’ve seen this through. The anger of Wall Street will spread to the entire East. We can benefit from such a huge capital confrontation.”
“But you must also be aware that Fabian doesn’t care about this. He has never considered himself as someone from Somer anyway.”
“However, you are a native of Somer’s mainland and your family is also residing in the Southeast Province in Somer. Are you willing to turn traitor?”
Conrad said with a blank expression on his face, “Mr. Welch, we’re not in World War II 60 or 70 years ago. The global economy is now integrated and all of us must look forward. I’m just standing on the winner’s side.”
“Interesting, hahaha! Okay, you go back and tell Fabian that once he starts to act, I will follow up immediately. I accept this collaboration!”
Conrad smiled and said, “Now, I will discuss the specific process with Mr. Welch…”
An hour later, Conrad left the headquarters of Softwin Investments with a smile on his face.
While standing by the window of the office in the headquarters of Softwin Investments, Echo had his arms across his chest and a sneer on his face as he watched Conrad’s figure getting into a car after he left the building.
“Hehe, Somer descents. As expected, there is no shortage of such traitors in Somer at any time.”
At this moment, inside the car that was driving towards the airport, the smile on Conrad‘s face disappeared and was replaced by a venomous coldness.
Valentine was driving the car after having snuck here. As Conrad’s most trusted, and only, confidant now, Valentine knew everything Conrad had done. Hence, naturally, he also knew the purpose of Conrad’s trip.
He noticed Conrad’s icy face and the anger that was suppressed underneath his coldness. Currently, he looked like an iceberg on top of a volcano.
Valentine sighed.
“Mr. Monty, should we tell Jasper about this?”
Unexpectedly, Conrad shook his head and said, “No, at least not now.”
Valentine was taken aback and subconsciously said, “But what Fabian is doing now is too vicious. He is willing to bury so many people just to destroy Jasper.”
“Jasper is fine. Once the war spreads across the country, who will we become?”
“You’re also scared that I’ll become a traitor, right?” Conrad asked all ofa sudden.
