Life at The Top novel Chapter 522

Ben jumping off the building was something no one had expected at all.

Even Julian only managed to run to the edge of the railing where he watched Ben fall with wide eyes.

“Ah!”

Ian howled loudly and heart-wrenchingly.

As if he had gone mad, Ian was suddenly filled with unimaginable strength in such a hopeless situation. He managed to shake off the two uniformed men who were holding him down. He rushed toward the railing.

Jasper had arrived as well.

Both Jasper and Ian saw Ben’s body freefall through the air and crash harshly against the ground.

There was a loud bang upon impact!

Fresh blood sprayed everywhere, and Ben’s body splattered all over the ground like a watermelon. His organs and blood exploded everywhere, up to a five-foot radius.

No normal person could bear to see such a scene.

Watching Ben die before his eyes, Ian leaned against the railing with his mouth wide open and his complexion ashen.

At that moment, Ian felt all the energy in his body zapped away. It was as if he had aged 30 years.

“He’s dead. He’s dead…”

Ian stared at Ben’s disfigured body downstairs and the crowd that was beginning to surround it. Falling back on his butt, Ian suddenly wailed.

Ian did not say another word when he was finally dragged away in the end.

It was as if his heart had died…

Jasper did not look at him anymore.

Jasper had long talked to Henry about this, and according to Harbor City’s laws, Ian would undoubtedly be charged with a life sentence. He had smuggled too high a value of goods.

It was fortunate that Harbor City had demolished its death penalty, or 200 million worth of smuggled goods would surely end in execution by shooting.

The officers brought Ian away. Having witnessed such a huge problem arise within the company, the other employees were filled with fear. They all left to search for new ways to make a living.

However, Vita did not leave.

Instead, he walked toward Jasper and spoke in admiration, “Everything has been dealt with, Mr. Laine. Just as you said, Ian can’t fight back at all… Thank you. If not for you, our branch would’ve surely been troubled with that two billion Somer Dollar loan.”

Jasper smiled. “It’s nothing. We’re all just taking what we need here.”

Vita chuckled loudly. “You’ve saved my life. I would’ve lost my job and even got put into jail if I couldn’t get such a large loan back.

“Ignoring everything else, you can trust me with transferring Ian’s assets to you. I promise you’ll be satisfied.”

Jasper shook Vita’s hand and replied, “That’s all I request, to have all of the Hull family’s assets. As for the specifics of it all, I don’t really care.

“But, Mr. Layne, do tell me if there’s any problem with the valuation of the assets. I don’t mind paying a little more if it means my friend can have it easier.”

Vita was very content with Jasper’s words.
