Harbor City had just endured a financial crisis. Currently, its sky was so clear with sunny weather. Skyscrapers were standing tall under the dark blue sky. Each floor was shining, and there were lots of people strolling along the streets downstairs. Cars were passing by each other as well. Everything looked so lively. ”Don’t you wish to stand at the top of this city and enjoy its beauty from up here?” said Jasper.
Jake looked at Jasper’s back view and raised his brow. He had to admit that at that moment, he was indeed being mesmerized by the beauty mentioned by Jasper.
‘Standing at the peak of Harbor City? That will be an enormous honor.
‘That will really make my ancestors proud of me as well!’
It was also a target that made Jake keep putting in the effort. It was just that the target was way too far and hard for him to reach. Aside from fantasizing about it, Jake dared not think further about it.
However, Jasper did not just have the guts to think about it, he even blurted it out. Besides, he was also making a move toward it.
At least at that moment, everyone in Harbor City had come to know of the name Jasper.
“There’s no such thing as being enemies forever in the business world, only benefits exist. If you think that there’s a miscommunication between us from earlier, and to you, it’s a barrier that you can’t overcome, then you may leave this instant. I give you my word that no one will stop you.”
After listening to Jasper’s comment, Jake’s face twitched. Finally, he snorted and said, “Previously, I was the one who insulted you in the first place. Then later on, you made me kneel and grovel to you, forcing me to take you as my master. Doesn’t that make things equal?”
“Equal? Maybe.”
Jasper’s comment made Jake’s expression change for the worst. From the moment he arrived up to that point, Jasper’s words and actions made Jake think that he was intending to solve the issue. However, he did not expect Jasper to say such a thing after he surrendered.
“However, to me, business is business. You have your strengths that I admire, and it’s something that I need. This is the basis of our cooperation. It has nothing to do with other things. It’s only up to whether or not you want to cooperate with us.”
Jasper spun around. The curve on his lips at that moment was no different from a demon in Jake’s vision.
He could not think it through. ‘What kind of person will be able to really place their personal emotions aside when making a decision?’
Even if he previously had a very huge argument with Jasper, he should be discussing with Jasper with a calm spirit all just because he possessed an ability that Jasper needed?
