Jasper’s words impressed Julian.
He certainly did not want to break the law if he could.
What did it matter if he was strong?
Was he able to fight the law?
During this time, he had clearly understood that personal strength meant nothing in the world.
Only wealth and power mattered.
As for Jasper, his calm and unhurried demeanor since the start made him so much more powerful than Mark or Steve.
“How can I trust you?” Julian asked.
Jasper chuckled when he realized that Julian was having a change of heart. “How much did Mark give you?”
“One million,” Julian answered honestly.
“What a big deal,” Jasper said quietly.
Then, Jasper took his phone and made a phone call in front of Julian.
“Hi, Mr. Lambert, it’s me. Withdraw two million in cash from the company’s vault. You have 30 minutes.”
Then, Jasper hung up and turned toward Julian to say, “So, can we sit down and talk now?”
Julian stared intently at Jasper before he nodded.
Jasper treated Julian to supper in the lounge.
He was full and did not feel like eating anything, so he just got himself and Wendy a drink each.
As for Julian, he was so broke from using all his money to purchase Cathy’s medicine that he had not eaten for two days.
Besides, he was a martial artist, which further increased his body’s need for food. Thus, he managed to eat enough for eight in one sitting…
Wendy’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at the number of empty plates.
“Who is he? He has such a large appetite. Are you sure nothing will happen?” Wendy asked as she poked Jasper.
Jasper smiled. “He’s the bodyguard I’ve set my eyes on. He’s great in combat.”
Wendy batted her eyes. She was born into a rich family and thus was familiar with the concept of bodyguards. Her father’s bodyguards were usually retired members of elite troops, and they could beat up six people in one go.
