“There’s also been news from the Southeast Province this afternoon, saying that JW Real Estate has
officially taken over the developmental rights in the North Bank from the city’s government!”
“He did what? Who the f*ck does he think he is?!
“We spent so much money to take over it and we even did the groundwork but now you’re telling me
we’re just going to give it to the f*cking brat for free?!”
Hearing Norman’s continuous complaints, Ian clenched his teeth and shouted, “Enough!”
“What, do you want me to watch Hans and Benny go to prison even though they’re mentally unstable
and crippled now?!” Ian glared at Norman indifferently and questioned coldly.
“If this is about your 500 million loss, then I’ll just pay you back in the future!”
Norman was stunned. Seeing how Ian’s gaze was void and devouring, he immediately suppressed the
ire within him. He pushed his displeasure away to speak, “You know that’s not what I meant.”
With a harrumph, Ian spoke, “I know that you’ve lost a lot of money, but there’s nothing we can do
about this. He got ahold of Benny’s and Hans’ Achilles heel. Don’t forget that the Southeast Province is
their base. Pulling out was our only option.”
“So we’re just going to forget it like that?!” Norman asked indignantly.
“No way! Ignoring my dignity and the money we lost, I’m still going to take revenge for what he did to
Hans and Benny if it’s the last thing I do!” Ian clenched his teeth and stood up, extinguishing the bud of
his cigarette harshly on the ashtray.
“What do you have in mind?” Norman asked.
Ian walked over to the window and opened it with one hand.
The fresh and cool wind blew into the study and immediately cleared the stuffy atmosphere inside.
“I’m using every single resource I have on hand, and I only have one objective—Jasper’s company.
Then, I’m making a trip to Suesville.”
Ian’s words lifted Norman’s spirits.
Suesville was right beside Waterhoof City, and most importantly, it was where Haddock Chamber of
Commerce’s spiritual leader, Old Master Hurlbutt, resided.
“Do we need Old Master Hurlbutt just to deal with Jasper?” Norman asked.
He thought that Ian had lost his mind. Old Master Hurlbutt was Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s only
remaining veteran. He was their true spiritual leader.
Not to mention that Old Master Hurlbutt was an old man who had retired long ago. There was no way
Gale would help the Hull family deal with Jasper.
Ian scoffed. “Do you know why our plan to target Jasper failed?”
Norman frowned and replied hesitantly, “Because Hans and Benny… were too rash?”
Considering Ian’s feelings, Norman did not dare to speak his true inner thoughts.
He could not say aloud that those two idiots were morons doomed for failure!
“No. Disregarding the two of them, do you remember how fast it took and how easy it was for Jasper to
deal with us targeting his building materials? Since that moment, our plan had already failed,” Ian
replied darkly.
Norman pulled out a cigarette slowly and lit it, falling silent and into thought.
“I’ve been thinking about it over and over. I realized that the reason why our plan to target Jasper failed
is that we had been taking him too lightly! We didn’t expect Jasper to deal with our tricks so quickly,
and Hans and Benny were just a fuse at most.
“Had we not taken him too lightly, we wouldn’t have to retreat from the Southeast Province overnight
even with what the two of them did. We wouldn’t have had to lose one billion either.
“So the very base of our problem is that we had underestimated Jasper’s strengths! All past events
have shown us that he’s way stronger than we expected!
“Which is why this time, we’re going to launch a precise attack and end him once and for all! We’ll kill
that f*cking brat!”
