“You… idiot! Let’s go!”
Echo knew that staying would only lead to him humiliating himself further, and understood that the
current situation had already gone beyond what he can solve. Thus, he had to return and report it
straight away.
Jasper gave a small smile as he watched Echo leave. Then he extended a hand to Wayne, “I look
forward to working with you, Mr. Marlon!”
“And I you…” Wayne spoke, shaking Jasper’s hand.
“Gentlemen, I have to say that we still have a huge problem in front of us,” Jose continued with a frown,
“We’ve badly offended Softwin now, so we have to consider how Softwin will react to today’s
shareholder meeting.
“Once we’ve accepted your investment, Mr. Laine, my, Mr. Marlon, and Softwin’s percentage of shares
will all have diluted. Softwin currently holds 20.5% of Abbylon’s shares after financing. What are your
plans for this, Mr. Laine?”
Jasper fell silent for a moment before he smiled and replied.
“I’ll talk to Softwin’s headquarters about this. I’ll contact you when it comes to the specifics. After all, I’ll
still need your absolute support in the follow-up for this matter.
Wayne and Jose exchanged a look and nodded.
Regardless of whether they wanted to admit it or not, the two of them had to understand that they were
already affiliated with Jasper.
Jasper investing in Abbylon would definitely evoke Myles’ fury, and Softwin would certainly target more
than just Jasper in their upcoming revenge. There was simply no way Wayne and Jose could ignore
this.
This was especially true for Jose, who looked very conflicted.
“If that’s the case, Mr. Laine, then I should return right away. There’s much I need to discuss with the
others in the company,” Wayne told Jasper.
Jasper nodded. “Alright. I’ll find time and take a trip there too so I can meet everyone formally. Still, as I
said, Abbylon is your company and I will not interfere. As far as I’m concerned, your capabilities are
worth more than Abbylon itself.”
Jasper was not lying.
Rather than investing in Abbylon, it would be more accurate to say that Jasper had invested the 1
billion in Wayne.
The man was worth the price.
Wayne smiled and replied, “Then I shall await your arrival in Harvey City.”
“Alright,” Jasper replied with a chuckle.
The duo soon left, leaving Jasper to stand by the conference hall doors as he watched the scene
downstairs quietly. Jose told Wayne something as they walked out of the hotel before the two got into
the car and left.
Jasper then pondered over how he was to treat Abbylon in the future.
Abbylon was unlike the other subsidiaries under him. Naturally, this was because Wayne himself was
different.
Both their surnames started with ‘M’, yet Wayne and Hudson were completely different people. Hence,
Jasper had to treat them differently as well.
People like Wayne would never agree to be someone else’s subordinate, so Jasper had to treat him
like a partner right from the get-go. The same applied to Hudson.
However, Wayne needed more autonomy than Hudson did.
Abbylon was going to be a company that would cost more of Jasper’s money and effort.
Softwin’s Myles Shon alone was a tough nut to crack.
Jasper had made it sound easy in front of Wayne and Jose, but he knew that this would be an
extremely difficult feat to perform.
“Slowly, then. At least I’ve already got a good start.” Jasper let out a soft exhale.
He knew that the old man in Sunrise Land would be notified very soon. His fight with Jasper would also
begin to surface.
JW and Softwin still had a long, bloody war to fight over Abbylon.
Everyone saw how he had acquired Abbylon, Terizone, and Sena. However, only Jasper himself knew
that Google, all the way across the Pacific Ocean, was just as important.
Google’s rise would be JW’s main support as it expanded out of the country.
Just as Jasper was deep in thought, his phone rang.
“Where are you, Jasper? I’ve already arrived at Nauritus City.”
Jasper’s eyes lit up when he heard the voice come through the speakers and he smiled. “I’ve been
waiting for you for ages. I’ll come pick you up.”
An hour later, in the office in Southface River Tower. Greg looked around the brightly lit office and the
floor-to-ceiling windows that displaued the superb and astonishing river view. He exclaimed.
“I only knew that you were rich and had a huge business, but it never felt like anything to me. It’s only
today after I arrived at your company that I realized that you’ve already walked further than most
people will throughout their entire life.”
Greg stood beside him and the two watched the quiet flow of the Southface River below them. Jasper
smiled and replied, “You’re just seeing a small portion of this. The whole company’s moving to
Waterhoof City in two more years.
“That’s when the letters JW will resound all over Somerland.”
Jasper was, of course, referring to the first skyscraper to be built in Waterhoof City.
Greg did not know too much about this, and he gasped, “But this building is still new, isn’t it? Are you
going to give it up so soon?”
Jasper smiled. “I’m just moving the company. I can still lease this office to other companies, you
know?”
Greg looked at Jasper and answered. “As we promised, I come here today in hopes to start my own
business.”
Jasper nodded and said, “I know what you’re capable of and that you have extraordinary talent when it
comes to the managerial ranks. Go ahead, tell me what kind of work you want to do.”
While Jasper and Greg had initially agreed to have the latter start from a clerk-level position, Jasper
had changed his mind over the past few days.
He believed that starting from the bottom was too much a waste of Greg’s talents.
Jasper knew Greg too well, thanks to experiences from his past and present life with this man. It was
this profound understanding Jasper had of Greg’s personality that made the man so trustworthy to
Jasper.
As Jasper’s property grew, so did his employee-base. There were tons of capable people under him.
However, a person’s capability was one thing. Their trustworthiness was another thing altogether.
