The situation suddenly became more serious when Currey heard him ask this.
“I can guarantee this with my life, Mr. Laine. There’s no problem with the process at all.
“I chose Robust because I thought that it would be better to choose a local demolition company
considering how demolition is extremely complicated and troublesome work. Robust happens to be the
best demolition company in Faith County as well, so we decided to commission them.”
Jasper smiled when he heard Currey’s explanation and replied, “Don’t worry, I was just asking.
“But you have to remember that our partner’s strength shouldn’t be JW’s only metric when looking for a
partner. The company owner’s personality is also very important.
“What kind of partnership benefits can we expect from a company that would hurt civilians for their
personal interests? We should be satisfied as long as the partnership doesn’t come back to bite us in
the bud.”
Jasper pointed at Ronald who was shivering and pale as he continued, “Take him, for example. He
threatened a retired and severely ill teacher who was living alone. He claimed that he’d use a bulldozer
and bury her under the building if she didn’t sign the demolition contract.
“Regardless of whether he was just threatening or if he actually planned to do so, JW should never
partner with such people. Understood?”
Currey fully understood Jasper’s lecture and immediately replied, “I understand, Mr. Laine. I’ll go back
and immediately announce the cancellation of all partnership with Robust Demolitions.
“We won’t partner with them again in the future, and we’ll also do some digging on this aspect when we
choose our future partners.”
“Very good.” Jasper nodded.
Jasper then turned to Ronald who looked desperate and asked calmly, “Do you two remember what
you said just now?
“The world is huge and there’s also a ton of much more powerful people outside. I might not be the
most powerful person out there, but I am more powerful than you.”
Jasper spoke slowly, and there was no hint of glee in his voice from oppressing them with his status
and power. There was no sign of arrogance either–Jasper was calm, as if he had just done something
insignificant.
“You had claimed that strength is more important than reason in this society, but what about now?”
“I fired Archer and ensured that your Robust Demolitions would never receive another deal from us.
This is my strength. Even so, I believe that without enough reason, a little bit of strength will get you
nowhere.”
Ronald’s entire body shivered as he looked at Jasper in despair. “Who, who are you?”
Jasper chuckled and replied, “Does it matter who I am?”
Thud.
It was the sound of Ronald falling to his knees.
He wailed as he begged Jasper, “Please, Mr. Laine, please. Forgive me, I’m sorry, I won’t bully people
like this anymore. Please, let me live, I don’t want to go bankrupt!”
“Is it my fault whether you go bankrupt or not?” Jasper asked coldly.
Ronald frantically replied, “If you don’t dissolve our partnership, then I’ll spend the rest of my life as
your lackey, Mr. Laine. I’ll never be disloyal.”
“Forget it, not with how you’d readily bury people with your bulldozers. I’m not brave enough to hire
you.”
Jasper averted his gaze from Ronald. It would only sully Jasper’s business to have someone like
Ronald work under him.
Jasper looked at Currey again and asked, “What’s with the demolition of this staff building?”
Currey immediately replied, “We’re planning to build a small district here and we’ve already demolished
the surrounding area. All that’s left is this building. The company’s ready to start construction once
that’s done.”
