The only possible explanation was that the government was a good judge of character. They must have seen through the descendants of the aristocratic families and ultimately chosen Jasper.
Because the descendants of the aristocratic families-especially the elite ones of the top families-were born with significant superiority, it was only inevitable that they were more capable than ordinary people.
However, when it came to the government’s decision-making process when picking someone to set as an example for the nation, these descendants of the aristocratic families were not the best candidates.
Their identity or background did not matter. All it took to conceal these factors from ordinary folks were the wishes of themselves and the government.
The problem was-would they give their all when the government needed someone to fight for the country?
The answer was a solid no. They had their families. They were tied up with benefits. I t was simply not possible.
Therefore, it was simply impossible for them to replace Jasper.
“D*rn it!”
Suddenly, Lord Alvarado clenched his teeth and said, “I’ll add another 8 billion. Jasper, please don’t think of it as a small amount. This is all I have now.”
The little prince looked astonished. Deep down, he was cursing him frantically in his heart. ‘You with your bushy eyebrows and big eyes! How can you change your mind so abruptly?’ However, he did not fall behind in adding, “Oh, is that all you have? Jasper, I’ll add another 10 billion. Forget everything else, I will definitely be contributing more than the Alvarado guy.”
Lord Alvarado sneered, “Isn’t that just 2 billion more than what I offered? Look at you being stingy.”
“You can’t even take out another 2
billion,” the little prince scoffed back at
him.
Jasper said awkwardly, “Alright, alright, stop arguing. I’ll accept the extra money with a grateful heart, but if you trust me, this extra money will count as an investment instead of a loan. Are you still i n?”
The little prince and Lord Alvarado no longer took the situation lightly. They looked at each other once again and nodded in unison. “F*ck that! You’re already betting with your life, so why would we care about this little amount of money?”
Jasper smiled and said, “You won’t regret i t.”
The video conference ended after the details were finalized. The representatives of each force gradually left the meeting.
Before Gale turned off his video, he suddenly asked, “Sly child, how confident are you?”
