Kayden suddenly realized who the man was and extended a handshake toward Dean. He asked, “How is Old Master Hurlbutt?”
Dean held Kayden’s hand and bowed obediently to show his respect. He answered, “He’s fine. However, he’s old so he cannot move as well as he used to. That’s why he asked me to come in his place.”
“Right, once someone gets to a certain age, they need to rest more,” Kayden said.
“Yo, the host is here.”
Henry said suddenly, attracting everyone’s attention.
Kayden, Lord Alvarado, the little prince, Dean, and Todd turned their heads at the same time. Then, they saw Jasper walking over from afar. When they saw how Jasper was dressed today, they were all shocked.
He was dressed in a formal outfit. His clothes and accessories were exquisite and meticulous. At this moment, it was completely unclear whether the clothes were bringing out the best in Jasper or if it was the other way around.
“I didn’t know that guy was so flashy,” Lord Alvarado said in a slightly jealous tone.
This was to be expected. If they were to compare looks, there was no question that Lord Alvarado would lose.
“I want to take a picture to show my sister,” Henry said.
Todd and Dean only smiled and did not say anything.
The little prince laced his fingers together and said flatly, “It’s time.”
After some time, Jasper had walked in front of everyone.
“Thanks for coming. Please forgive me if I can’t entertain you well enough today,” Jasper smiled and said.
Kayden smiled and said, “It’s fine.”
“Lord Alvarado, Little Prince, I have to tell you that this is not playing house. I’ve prepared 320 billion Somer Dollars. After conversion, it amounts to 40 billion US Dollars.”
“This money is not enough to enter the United States market, so I decided to expand my leverage. With this, the matter will become a financial war of over 100 billion US Dollars, and trillions of Somer Dollars. Hence, my decisions must be strictly followed.”
Even though they were not normal people and they were all mentally prepared, they still felt emotional when they heard the numbers coming out of Jasper’s mouth.
“This will be the largest financial war in human history,” Dean said quietly.
Jasper replied with a nod, “That’s right, so we have to be extra careful.”
As he said that, he turned around to look at the little prince and Lord Alvarado, “Guys, can you do what I said?”
“I have no comments.” Lord Alvarado was the first to speak.
The little prince nodded and answered, “That’s how it should be done.”
