Life at The Top novel Chapter 2083

After thinking for a moment, Jasper spoke cautiously, “In reality, every citizen of Somerland has a dream of great revival in their hearts. If I were to be in your shoes or think as a normal commoner, then I would hope that the power of capital can be controlled and will be contained within a completely controllable range. The absolute power should be in the hand of one person. But as a capitalist, if I discovered your intentions, I am afraid that I would have already planned for a rainy day and sought a way out for myself, just like… Half the Harbor Langdon…”

After speaking, Jasper lowered his head.

The old man was pacing back and forth in the room, and at the same time, he suppressed the smile on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

After a long Lime, the old man finally let out a long sigh, “You are right… So, you should understand my intention behind coming to you today, right?”

“Huh?” Jasper was a little confused.

Then, he heard the old man say, “You are different from those families with roots that are hundreds of years old. They are like parasitic vines x on the big tree of Somerland.”

“Their foundation has already been rooted deep in the ground and they are doing everything they can to absorb the nutrients from this big tree. And to them, your existence is undoubtedly of that of someone who’s here to steal a slice of their cake, so their attitude towards you is to rope in and suppress you.”

Speaking of which, the old man suddenly stared into Jasper’s eyes heatedly and said word by word.

“So, I hope you can be the knife used to trim the branches of the aristocratic families. In this critical period of revival, if they work together to fight the outside world, then it’s fine. However, if someone still wants to exhaust the internal resources at this time, I grant you the right to get rid of them. How about it?”

Jasper’s brows jumped when he heard the words. ‘Damn, as expected of someone in a leadership position!’

This thought and strategy frightened Jasper. He knew that when the old man said this, he was not asking for his opinion, but informing him. Therefore, Jasper could not refuse this request no matter what.

It was not until five o’clock in the evening that Jasper got out of there, and after driving back to his residence, he took a hot bath. He recalled what the old man said over and over again in his head.

Yes, he agreed to the other party’s request.

The reason why he agreed to the old man was not entirely because he had no room for rejection. However, in Jasper’s opinion, too much capital would indeed endanger the entire Somerland. Plus, what he cared about was not the wealth, honor, and disgrace in this life, but more that he also had a sincere heart and wanted Somerland to last forever. Therefore, if he wanted to pursue this to the end, he might not face a good result.

Yet, he had to do it!

In the yard of Brown Manor, the crippled Brown sat under the grape trellis while drinking hot tea.

The confidant reported in front of him, “We just got the news that Jasper went to see that person, but no one knows what they talked about.”
