Although Coreana was not big, it was really a long way from the airport to the outskirts where Sentel
Corporation was located. Since they were part of a convoy, it was impossible to drive too fast.
Therefore, after the initial greetings and small talk, Jasper, who was extremely tense, fell asleep without
even realizing. The cars gentle shaking coupled with the fact that he had continuously stayed up late
for the past few days proved too much for him.
They were discussing a topic when Sylphie, who was waiting for Jasper’s response, realized that she
did not hear Jasper speak for a long time. Thus, she turned her head and saw that Jasper had fallen
asleep whilst leaning against his seat. She could not help feeling quite helpless.
For any woman, the fact that a man could fall asleep while chatting with them was a huge blow to their
self-esteem. However, Sylphie was no ordinary woman. She quietly ordered the convoy to drive more
slowly. Then, she sat at one side and looked carefully at Jasper. To be honest, Jasper was definitely
not the kind of handsome man who would make people feel astonished at first glance.
However, Jasper’ s charm was that the more you looked at him, the more attractive he appeared.
If a woman was only attracted to a man’s appearance, then she could only be described as superficial.
Most of the real charm of a man lay within. If a handsome man was penniless or not ambitious at all,
would there be any sensible woman who would want to be with him?
For Sylphie, watching Jasper sleeping in this way was a novel experience. Frankly speaking, this was
the first time she had seen a man sleep ever since she became an adult. The last time she had
witnessed such a thing was when she saw her father and grandpa take a nap when she was a child.
However, there was no comparison between the two. Jasper was a man, or rather, a man of the same
age as her.
Like other women, Sylphie could not help being curious. What kind of power was hidden in this man’s
seemingly ordinary body that made him reach this point in such a short time?
As he slept, Jasper looked far less aggressive than the memorable impression Sylphie had already
formed of him. He had a childlike innocence and calmness to him now, which interested Sylphie.
Forty minutes later, when Jasper awoke, he found that the car had stopped in front of a manor.
Jasper got up and found a thin blanket covering him. He turned his head to Sylphie, who was looking at
him, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”
“It’s fine. I can tell that you are tired,” Sylphie said.
“Let’s get out of the car. My father is already waiting.” Jasper got out of the car immediately.
In a country like Coreana with a small land mass but an exceptionally developed economy, there was
one obvious feature. There were too many people, which made housing prices outrageously
expensive. The manor where Sentel Corporation was located had occupied a decadent amount of floor
space.
Jasper got out of the car and went directly into the manor with Sylphie in the lead.
In the living room, a burly middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Sylphie greeted him.
“Welcome, guest from Somerland.”
Sylphie’s father and the next head of Sentel Corporation, Emil Lang greeted Jasper in Coreana.
Sylphie interpreted next to him so Jasper was not worried about not understanding him.
“Mr. Emil, thank you for your hospitality.”
As he faced someone like Emil, who would take over the entire Sentel Corporation in a few years and
also caused a series of earth-shattering events himself, Jasper suddenly became quite alert.
In his previous life, he could only get to know Emil through the media and the Internet, but now that he
was standing in front of the man himself, he found that Emil was actually very nice to talk to. Perhaps
this was also one of the reasons why he would cause internal conflicts within this plutocratic family in
the future.
He was not assertive enough.
After the two exchanged greetings, Emil smiled and said, “My father is already in the study. Why don’t
we go straight up?”
“Okay.”
Since he was here to discuss business matters, Jasper did not dilly dally with too much formalities. He
simply nodded and agreed.
The three then went to the study upstairs. After knocking on the door, Jasper accompanied Sylphie and
followed Emil into the study.
The first thing that caught his eyes was a huge piece of calligraphy.
The decorations in the study were simple, and they did not really fit the style typically demanded by the
head of a plutocratic family.
However, Jasper understood that at the level of a big boss like Kit, all antiques and luxury goods
became dispensable accessories.
Some people needed expensive luxury goods and antiques to accentuate and flaunt their identity, but
for others, even wearing straw sandals gave them a certain energy that normal people dared not look
down upon.
Kit, who brought the entire Sentel Corporation to its peak, was definitely one of these leaders.
In the study, Jasper first came into contact with the legendary figure in Coreana, Kit Lang.
This old man was powerful enough to influence who sat in the master seat of the Blue House.
“Mr. Kit, nice to meet you for the first time.”
Jasper took the initiative to greet the ordinary looking old man in front of him.
Kit had been looking at Jasper all this while. After Jasper finished speaking, he nodded with a smile
and said, “Hello, Jasper.”
“The way the people in Somerland communicate is very interesting. To bring together the relationship
between strangers as quickly as possible, you will say that people from Somerland and the people from
Coreana were family five hundred years ago. If that’s the case, we might even be relatives.”
Jasper was surprised when Kit said that. “Mr. Kit, your Somerish is really good and your understanding
of Somerland culture is also impressive.”
“Somerland is Coreana’s neighbor. The two countries have a history spanning hundreds of years.
Therefore, Somerish is the first foreign language I learned, while I have also been studying Somerland
culture for many years.”
Kit invited Jasper to sit down.
Everyone sat down according to their ranks.
Kit asked Jasper with a smile, “Mr. Laine, in truth, the last time you came to Coreana, I told Sylphie that
if I ever have the chance, I hoped to invite you to come over and have a good chat.”
“I like to chat with outstanding young people. This allows me to expand my thinking and understand the
changes in the world better. However, I didn‘t expect this opportunity to come so soon.”
Sylphie chuckled upon hearing that.
She still remembered that in the past, her grandpa praised Jasper at said he would become the richest
man in Somerland. Although the latest reports had not come out yet, Jasper’s wealth was enough to
secure this position. Jasper ranked first in Somerland in personal wealth both on the surface level and
in private.
“Your business philosophy and skills have always been a model for the younger generation. It is
actually an honor to have the opportunity to meet you, Mr. Kit.” Jasper smiled.
Everyone loved to hear nice things about them.
If Kit showed him respect, Jasper would naturally accept it with both hands. Then, they started to speak
highly about each other as per the standard of procedure in business.
These were innocuous little things. After this, the real excitement began.
