Hearing Celine’s voice, Jasper pondered for a while and said, “Qari is very dangerous. You watch the news every day so you should know. Your safety is the most important thing, so don’t come here.”
After hearing this, rather than admitting defeat, Celine’s interest was piqued. “I heard from my family that because of the problem of this oil field, you are being targeted everywhere in Bashra. I want to help you! Besides, there are not many people who can help you and I’m one of them!”
Jasper calmed down and thought for a while after he heard that. He knew that the person who could come to Qari to help at this juncture would not only prove their friendship with him but also had a certain strength.
Most people would be intimidated by the false news targeting Somerland merchants.
Celine was not afraid, and the Maynards in South America would not care about this false news. In addition, today was the deadline. If Jasper hesitated, no one would be able to help him. Therefore, he considered it again and again and finally decided to agree.
“Okay, but you have to promise me one thing.”
“What is it?” Celine asked.
”Qari is still too dangerous here. I only need to borrow your identity… I have to send you back safely right after you come here and go through the transfer process.”
Upon hearing this, Celine felt a warmth in her heart. She did not expect Jasper to care about her so much at this time.
“No problem. After all, I’m not familiar with that side, so I’ll listen to you.”
”Alright, I’ll send you the address and you must arrive before the sun goes down today.”
After hanging up the phone, Celine left immediately while Jasper let out a sigh of relief.
He immediately contacted Mr. Murik and told him the good news.
