“You’ve sure got quite the galls for a young man!”
Samuel scoffed at Jasper’s claim.
“How much do you think you can help Jones earn with 800,000 dollars in funds, you brat? Don’t talk big if you don’t have the ability to back you up. You’ll have to pay the consequences for bluffing.”
Jasper looked at Samuel and chuckled. “You seem so certain that I’m unable to help Kai get his capital back.”
Samuel scoffed and pointed at the ashtray with more than ten cigarette buds in it. “I’ll eat the ashtray if you can do it.”
Jasper spoke calmly, “I don’t need you to eat this ashtray. How much did you lose last month in total, Kai?”
Kai replied embarrassedly, “Here and there, I’d say a total of more than six million.”
“Would you like to gamble, Mr. Ray?” Jasper slightly squinted his eyes at Samuel’s dark expression. “Kai lost six million and I have the remaining 800,000 dollars of his capital in hand.
“If I manage to earn this six million back for him today, you’ll pay me the amount I managed to earn. How’s that?”
Samuel could not help but chortle. “Who do you think you are, you brat? Do you think you can predict the future? Earning six million with a capital of 800,000 dollars, do I look like an idiot or are you telling me you print money for a living? You can’t even earn that much and that quickly from printing money!”
Jasper replied calmly, “Stop giving me all that nonsense. The more impossible it is, the more this benefits you, doesn’t it?”
Samuel scoffed. “Fine. I’ll bet, then. But what if you can’t do it?”
“Then I’ll come up with six million myself,” Jasper replied calmly.
