Walking out of Colossal Investments, Jasper then contacted Page and Brin.
Jasper intended to meet Morrison through the two of them, but he had not expected the duo to tell him that Morrison was waiting for Jasper at the hotel.
Without hesitation, Jasper returned to the hotel.
In the executive lounge of DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Jasper met Morrison.
“You! You’re the one stealing what I have my eyes on, aren’t you?” Morrison sat on the sofa as he watched Jasper approach. The man showed no signs of getting up to greet Jasper but instead stared at him with an evaluative gaze that carried a hint of a sneer and disdain. The man’s tone was downright arrogant.
Jasper walked over to Morrison who was still sitting down and spoke, “Steal? I don’t think that’s the right word here. Google didn’t want to accept your offer so they came to me instead. That’s very normal.”
Morrison scoffed and played with the ring on his pinky as he spoke slowly, “You just got here, so perhaps there are things that you don’t quite know about.”
Morrison then looked up at Jasper sinisterly. “No one who’s tried to steal from me has ever ended well. No one can take what I want!”
“Your tone is misleading. And here I thought that you were Layman Investment Bank’s president, instead of an investment manager,” Jasper spoke calmly.
Morrison scoffed and spoke, “You mean that as an investment manager, I’m not qualified to offer such a high price? Fine then, I’ll use my own power. Let’s say, Quantum Funds?”
He then looked at Jasper intently before slowly speaking, “I’ve done some digging on you. You were the one who stopped Quantum Funds, weren’t you?
