“Jasper, you are not crazy, are you? This
son of a b*tch almost killed you several
times!” Henry stared at Conrad aggressively and said to Jasper.
Jasper pressed Henry’s shoulder to gesture for him sit to back down. He said, “At the beginning, we had different standpoints, and everyone had conflicting interests. So, there’s nothing wrong with using different methods, but now we share the same standpoint and interests, s o it’s okay for us to be friends.”
Henry glanced at Jasper and said angrily, ” This is your business, and I don’t want to bother with it but don’t think that I’ll be nice to this punk.”
“I don’t need you to be.”
Conrad replied calmly.
“Hey?”
Henry was infuriated.
“How dare you talk back to me?”
Conrad ignored him. Instead, he looked at
Moses and said, “Mr. Miller, I trust you have been well since we last met.”
Moses laughed and replied, “I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Conrad smiled and said, “I didn’t expect it either.”
“It’s good that you’re here. Let’s wait for the opening together,” Moses said.
Conrad answered with a nod of his head, ”
That’s what I thought too.” Not long after, Valentine, who had been waiting anxiously for Conrad’s news
downstairs, came up.
When he pushed open the door of the command center, he did not even dare to breathe too loudly when all of the big shots in the room looked at him. He cautiously walked along the wall and stepped behind Conrad, who could only stand in the corner.
“Mr. Monty.”
Valentine was about to cry.
