“You’re too courteous, Mr. Law. It’s my pleasure to entertain you,” Zayden said in an extremely humbling manner. His heart was about to crack from anger and humiliation.However, he did not have a choice. He could only endure this because, at this critical moment, he could not offend Mr. Law.The auction was about to start, and the fruit of victory was just in front of him, so he must endure this.Zayden swore in his heart. After he won, he would return all of the grievances he had suffered during this period back to Jasper by 100-fold!…“You mean the Hanks might have already contacted the businessman from Harbor City?”Dawson looked heatedly at Jasper, and his expression was solemn.Jasper nodded and said, “The attitude of the businessman from Harbor City could directly affect the attitude of the government. Since he’s planning to invest, then the coherent facilities would follow after the land he invests in. Coincidentally, he would run into the matter of the province's expan

After everyone from different industries arrived, the auction officially started.A group of people walked in from the side door with the leader of the city hall leading them. Then, they sat in the seats that were intentionally separated from the rest.The leaders from different industries who came to the auction started interacting with each other. They understood that those people who had just walked in were the influential businesspeople from Harbor City.The head of the group was a man who looked like he was in his 60s. He was wearing a suit and looked lean. However, when he talked, he was oozing with the air of a successful man and looked like he was full of charisma.Next to him were a young man and a young woman. The man was chewing gum while looking slovenly. The woman was very beautiful and looked so charming as if she had been blessed by heaven. The moment she appeared, she attracted the attention of a lot of people.The woman was looking around in the venue as if she

“We can’t allow any mishaps for this auction.”Zayden remembered the call he received from Sylva before he left the house.The businessman from Harbor City had high hopes in them, and since they already had his support, the Hanks family had gathered most of their liquid funds for this.Zayden had a huge volume of bargaining chips in his hand.His dignity did not allow him to lose. Even though 1.5 billion was out of his budget, he was enraged as he gritted his teeth and called out, “1.5 billion!”Zayden’s expression was near malevolent.Everyone’s jaws dropped when they heard this price.He also heard people sucking in their breaths.At this moment, everyone had the same thought in their heads. The Hanks were not treating money like money.“1.5 billion! Is there more? 1.5 billion going once!”The emcee’s voice started to sound excited.“1.5 billion going twice!”Zayden chuckled and said to Jasper almost morbidly, “Go on. Why are you not increasing the price? Huh? Go on if yo

Jasper said directly.However, it was as if Zachary did not hear him and was already getting up to leave.“Jasper, are you insane? Who do you think you are? You even want to talk to Mr. Law? F*ck off if you don’t have the money! Who the hell wants to talk to you?” Zayden cackled maniacally and said.Jasper did not pay attention to Zayden who was acting like a mad dog right now. At this critical moment, Jasper looked at Anna and said, “Miss Law, just think of this as me owing you a favor.”Anna frowned. She did not understand what Jasper was trying to do, but for some reason, she grabbed her father.“Dad, let’s hear what he has to say.”Zachary looked at his daughter in surprise. Then, he shifted his gaze to Jasper and said, “Young man, I’m just a spectator for this auction. It’s useless to talk to me.”“It’s a fact that the gavel has already fallen for this auction, but I want to talk to you about another major business,” Jasper said confidently.On one side, Henry was feeling

“Young man, you have a huge appetite.” Zachary laughed.“Do you know how big the Laws are?”Jasper lifted his eyebrow. Even if he combined himself with Schuler Group, he would still be nothing to the Laws. This was the truth.However, businessmen were all about profit. Zachary was testing him with that question, so Jasper absolutely could not back down. He also could not show any fear.“However, the market in Mainland is bigger. It’s able to devour the Laws without even causing a ripple.”Zachary guffawed at what Jasper said.“Young man, I’m seriously interested in you now. Not bad. Not bad at all.”Henry mumbled at one side, “Dad, he’s just talking big and you’re listening to him? He wants to collaborate comprehensively with us with his qualifications? Does he have the money and the skills?”Zachary glared at Henry and said, “Your grandfather started from nothing and used only 200 Harbor Dollars to start a business which then led to where we are now. Just because he doesn’t ha

Henry was feeling guilty and was about to leave. However, when he heard that, his expression changed as he stared at Zayden before saying savagely, “Do you believe that I’ll kill you if you keep spewing nonsense?”Zayden almost crushed his teeth into pieces when he saw Henry’s aggressive face. He said in bitter resentment, “1.5 billion! We spent 1.5 billion and that’s it? Impossible!”“Damn it, it’s not a done deal anyway. You can just not pay and treat the bid as void. You’ll only lose the 50 million cash deposit that way.” Henry spat out before turning around to leave.“I’m leaving too,” Anna smiled and said to Jasper.“Thank you, I owe you one,” Jasper said sincerely.Anna covered her mouth and chuckled. She did not care how many people were ogling her because of her lovely charms right now. She said, “Owe it then, just remember to pay.”After she said that, Anna walked away as if she was walking on air.At this moment, Anna and the Laws had no idea how huge of a profit this

“Let’s go home.”Jasper smiled and reached out his hand.Wendy nodded and placed her small hand into Jasper’s large hand naturally.The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder back to the parking lot.On the way, Wendy saw an ambulance driving into the courtyard hurriedly and asked curiously, “Why is the ambulance here?”“Zayden’s mental state isn’t doing too well. He got so angry with me that he needs to go to the hospital.”Wendy covered her mouth to laugh secretly after what Jasper said.The two of them got into the car where Wendy said suddenly, “The daughter of the businessman from Harbor City is named Anna Law, right?”“Yeah.” Jasper drove and did not glance sideways.“I saw what happened. She spoke up for you and that’s how you got the chance to speak to Mr. Law.”Wendy smiled.“I think she can’t bear to look at Zayden’s arrogant face.”Jasper’s expression was getting more and more serious.“Perhaps.”Wendy looked profound.During the auction earlier, Jasper was n

Zayden opened his eyes slowly in the ward.The person he saw after he opened his eyes was his father, Sylva.Zayden felt a heavy weight on his chest as he anxiously opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice, “Dad, that Jasper kid… We’ve been…”“I know,” Sylva said calmly.“I won’t resign to this!” Zayden gripped the bedsheet and said through gritted teeth.“You’ve lost everything,” Sylva said in an extremely disappointed voice.“The family has decided to give up on this auction. We will surely lose the cash deposit. The city hall is furious because the auction was such a huge event and everybody’s attention had been on it. However, in the end, we decided to void our bid.“The city hall is giving us a penalty of 200 million.”“The family will never forgive me for this 200 million and the 50 million combined,” Zayden said in a trembling voice.“You had walked into his trap since the beginning.”Sylva sighed ruefully. “I didn’t think that young man named Jasper would be abl
