“There’s hard evidence of you being involved in smuggling goods! All your accounts are now frozen, so how are you going to repay our bank’s loan?”
Vita stared intently at Ian, and his tone was extremely frigid.
“Two billion Somer Dollars is a huge sum of funds to a bank, and according to the contract we signed, the bank has the right to request to seize your company and all the assets under your name if we find ourselves in such a circumstance.
“Of course, since the sum in your personal account has been seized, we have no other option but to auction all your assets to prevent a loss on our side.
“Mr. Laine took pity on you and is willing to repay your loan, so it’s only right that we transfer your assets to Mr. Laine.
“If you’re unwilling, you’re very welcome to bring this to court with Mr. Laine when you’re released.”
Vita then smiled and continued, “That is, of course, if you get released at all.”
Ian ground his molars together and glared at Vita, roaring at the man. “You were nothing more than a dog wagging its tail when you f*cking begged me to take a loan! You’d even lick my shoes if I asked but now this is how you’re talking to me?!”
Vita’s expression darkened, and his voice turned icy. “I was just doing business. You didn’t have to listen to me if you didn’t want to, Mr. Hull. What you think doesn’t really matter anymore anyway.”
“Hahaha!”
Ian looked up at the sky and scoffed self-deprecatingly. He then turned to glare at Jasper. “What a well-thought-out plan you have there, so great that you’ve managed to destroy me and the entire Hull family while swallowing all of my assets too. So this was your plan?!
“What grandeur, Jasper Laine!”
Jasper replied plainly, “Frankly speaking, I’m not actually attacking you. I don’t even want that bit of money the Hull family owns. If I didn’t have the habit of seeking profit returns with everything I do, I wouldn’t have even wasted my time on something as worthless as you.
“Plus, I’m saving you here. You would be facing more than just your assets getting auctioned off if I don’t repay this loan for you. The bank would sue you for loan fraud, now worsened considering the immense value of two billion. Coupled with you smuggling goods, you’ll be charged for both crimes and that’ll definitely guarantee you a life sentence in prison.
“You should be thanking me here.”
Ian’s expression twisted into a crazed one at Jasper’s words, and he began to struggle maddeningly as he roared at Jasper. “Just wait, Jasper! Do you think that you’ll be safe now that you’ve gotten rid of me?
