After bidding an insincere farewell to Jasper, Conrad and Valentine left the villa.
Upon getting into the car, he lifted his head and said, “Cancel all the plans we prepared previously.”
“Mr. Monty, we spent a lot of money and effort to prepare those plans. Are we… cancelling all of them?”
Sitting at the front passenger seat, Valentine turned around and asked.
“Cancel it all. Use a new plan.”
Conrad added mildly, “Starting from the day Jasper built up his fortune, I can recite every piece of information I found about him backwards.
“From those pieces of information that can almost be written into a novel, I can tell that Jasper is an extremely conceited person. He’s distrusting to his core and only believes in his own judgment.
“No matter how outrageous a judgment may seem to outsiders, he will execute his plan once he has made his decision. He has never cared about what outsiders think or say.
“Most terrifyingly… his outrageous judgments have all succeeded. The more outrageous it is, the more benefits he gets. It’s precisely because of this that he’s able to accumulate so much wealth in just one year’s time.
“Ever since Sena was listed, there are not many people in Somerland who can compare to him in terms of wealth and fortune. No more than three digits.
“Just how arrogant and conceited can this man be? He isn’t afraid of schemes and tricks. He believes that he can solve everything.”
At this point, Conrad’s lips were curled into a strange arc.
“A conceited man like him will still eat the poisonous cake we sent him despite knowing that it’s poisonous because he believes that he can handle the poison to get rid of us.
“He covets the gains in front of him without being aware of the danger behind him. Jasper covets the gains yet has no idea that I’m the danger lurking behind him, pointing a sniper at his head.”
After hearing what he said, Valentine could not help but gasp in admiration.
Conrad had lost to Jasper twice, suffering tremendous losses. Moreover, Jasper was always able to leave with a bunch of benefits each time.
Valentine was not around the first time, but he had heard about it.
He experienced it himself the second time.
This was the third time.
Valentine had observed how terrifyingly fast Conrad had grown during this time. Conrad had been reviewing his defeat almost every day, carefully thinking about what went wrong that caused his defeat and Jasper’s victory.
In Valentine’s opinion, Conrad had completely transformed now. It would not make any sense if he did not win this time.
More importantly, Valentine had met Conrad’s father, Steven Monty, recently.
After meeting that man, Valentine realized what a true upright and indomitable man in Southeast Province actually looked like. With a man like him as Conrad’s father and to have him back him up, how could Conrad possibly lose?
