“There’s also been news from the Southeast Province this afternoon, saying that JW Real Estate has officially taken over the developmental rights in the North Bank from the city’s government!”
“He did what? Who the f*ck does he think he is?!
“We spent so much money to take over it and we even did the groundwork but now you’re telling me we’re just going to give it to the f*cking brat for free?!”
Hearing Norman’s continuous complaints, Ian clenched his teeth and shouted, “Enough!”
“What, do you want me to watch Hans and Benny go to prison even though they’re mentally unstable and crippled now?!” Ian glared at Norman indifferently and questioned coldly.
“If this is about your 500 million loss, then I’ll just pay you back in the future!”
Norman was stunned. Seeing how Ian’s gaze was void and devouring, he immediately suppressed the ire within him. He pushed his displeasure away to speak, “You know that’s not what I meant.”
With a harrumph, Ian spoke, “I know that you’ve lost a lot of money, but there’s nothing we can do about this. He got ahold of Benny’s and Hans’ Achilles heel. Don’t forget that the Southeast Province is their base. Pulling out was our only option.”
“So we’re just going to forget it like that?!” Norman asked indignantly.
“No way! Ignoring my dignity and the money we lost, I’m still going to take revenge for what he did to Hans and Benny if it’s the last thing I do!” Ian clenched his teeth and stood up, extinguishing the bud of his cigarette harshly on the ashtray.
“What do you have in mind?” Norman asked.
Ian walked over to the window and opened it with one hand.
The fresh and cool wind blew into the study and immediately cleared the stuffy atmosphere inside.
“I’m using every single resource I have on hand, and I only have one objective—Jasper’s company. Then, I’m making a trip to Suesville.”
