After he said that, Jasper smiled and turned around to look at Jim who was feeling excited. “Uncle Yapp, the lobster bisque tastes pretty good. It’s thick and creamy but not greasy. Do you want some?”
Jim looked seriously at Jasper. He felt like he could not see through this young man anymore. He was unflustered and there was an air of arrogance emitting from his ordinary, modest self. Compared to a hedonistic son of rich parents like Hector, Jasper was ranked much higher.
In comparison to Jasper, he was scared of Hector’s background and thus was fearful in everything he did when faced with the man. He did not dare to fight the world when he was impoverished anymore.
Jim guffawed boldly and picked up the bowl. He laughed and said, “Alright, let me try the food from this chef who has worked in a palace before.”
Jim said as he took some bisque for himself.
However, at this moment, Hector, who had been ignored and suppressed this whole time, could not stand it anymore.
He stood up suddenly and lifted his hand to turn the table over.
With a loud whoosh, everything on the table was scattered to the floor.
The bisque and sauces were all over the place, and the scene was a mess.
Hector stood at the side of the table that had been pushed over and said sinisterly, “If you don’t give me an easy time, then none of you will have an easy time too! Do you really think you can take down Easy Media just because you have money?”
While he said that, Hector looked gloomily at the King brothers who were petrified. He pointed at Jasper and said, “You two, think properly! Are you sure you want to sell him the company?”
Leo and Noah looked at each other as beads of cold sweat started to pour down their faces.
“Mr. Combe, um, Mr. Laine is too straightforward and we didn’t think—”
“Stop bullsh*tting!” Hector interrupted the brothers roughly. He turned around to look at Jasper and said frigidly, “Jasper, I’ll say this now. If you insist on fighting me, then it means you’re determined to fight with me until death!”
Jasper stood up too. He said indifferently, “Mr. Combe, it’s no use depending on the status of the elders in your family to buy something. It’s either you take out the money, or you leave. I’m taking out 500 million, what about you?”
Jim almost burst out laughing after he heard Jasper saying this.
Even though Hector had a powerful background, Jim felt extremely pleased right now when he saw Jasper pressuring Hector with his large amount of capital. Hector was on the brink of exploding from anger but could not say anything.
Hector was indeed stronger than Jasper in terms of background and resources.
However, if they were going to compete in terms of money, he was not Jasper’s rival at all.
When Jasper was reborn, the market price for Easy Media was 11.5 billion. As such, this price right now was very low.
