After Jasper hung up the phone, Jasper looked a little off-color. Although he already knew that the little prince and Lord Alvarado wanted to take away their money, Lord Alvarado was so impatient, and them abandoning their benefactor pissed Jasper off a lot.
“What did he say? Did you fail?” Henry asked hurriedly when he saw that Jasper‘s expression looked unpleasant.
Shaking his head, Jasper said, “Not really, but everyone has their own behavior in the face of risks.”
“They are not good people,” Henry sneered. Then, he said, “When there are some goodies, everyone will pounce on it like mad dogs, but if something happens, they will run away faster than anyone else.”
“You can’t say that, at least they are still on my side in terms of their position.”
Jasper exhaled, releasing the depression in his chest before he said with a smile, “Besides, who knows what’s going to happen next. If they want to handle it themselves, let them do it by themselves. If they listen to me about everything, then it’ll be the same no matter who controls the money. At the end of the day, it’s their money anyway.”
“Still, it’s not a big deal even if they don’t listen to me. At the end of the day, it is up to them whether they earn more or less. At the very least, they can’ t stand on the side of Wall Street.”
“No way.” Henry shook his head and said, “Their roots are in the country. Back then, I heard my grandpa say that Swallow Capital had started to take note of this thing and that they’re preparing something secretly. They will only betray you in this situation if they’ve gone mad.”
“They will be betraying themselves if they betray you. So what if they have a big family and a big business? Their family is nothing compared to the nation’s will. They will get destroyed if they anger the government on a small issue, let alone a very controversial problem that causes so much anger among the people.”
“What’s Swallow Capital doing?” Jasper asked.
“How would I know?”
Henry spread his hands and smiled bitterly, “I know that my grandpa made a few calls to Swallow Capital after he talked to you. That’s when I learned that the government of Swallow Capital noticed when you shorted the US market.”
“Please, don’t look down on the brains of Swallow Capital. They’re all extremely sly and witty foxes.”
“In this case, everyone knows that Wall Street is targeting Somerland by targeting you. Do you think those old foxes wouldn’t realize it?”
