The devouring of these 3 points was not a big deal in and of itself. It was just a buffer zone, so it did not
matter if they devoured it.
The trading was now closed. As soon as the trading opens tomorrow, this buffer zone was no longer
necessary. It was just an honorable excuse for each other to end the first day of fighting.
What angered Jasper was that Kayden ordered the Harbor City trading center to do this without
consulting him. Whether it was Kayden who persuaded other investors in the Harbor City trading
center, or Kayden himself gave the order directly without telling them, neither of these two reasons
could change the fact that Jasper had lost actual control of the Harbor City trading center.
It was also the first time Jake saw Jasper so furious. He swallowed and said cautiously, “M- Mr. Laine,
now we…”
“Just do whatever you need to do. I will resolve this matter.”
Jasper said after taking two deep breaths and suppressing the raging flames in his chest.
Jake nodded and he did not dare to stay for a long time. After exchanging a few words, he took the
initiative to end the video call.
After calling the hotel to come over and replace the broken equipment, Jasper paced back and forth in
his room with a sullen face.
If he completely lost control of the Harbor City trading center, then this would become a terrifying bomb.
He was already attacking somebody much stronger than himself in his confrontation with Wall Street,
so if he had a bomb placed next to himself, he would definitely be doomed.
Just then, Jasper’s cell phone rang. It was a number from Harbor City.
After picking it up, Jasper heard Kayden’s mild voice from the other end of the phone.
“Mr. Laine, it was very urgent back then and we didn’t have enough time, so I did that without telling
you. I hope you won’t be mad.”
Jasper did not want to hide it, and he said directly, “I am furious. Didn’t have enough time so you didn’t
tell me? Why do you need to report this to me?”
“All the operational arrangements of the Harbor City trading center are under the unified command of
the Nauritus City center. The Harbor City trading center made such a move suddenly without the order
of the Nauritus City center. Mr. Langdon, can I assume that the Harbor City trading center has
rebelled?”
Kayden frowned slightly and said quietly, “Mr. Laine, I hope you understand that we are collaborators. I
am not your courtier, and you are not the emperor.”
Jasper sneered. “This was the agreed upon framework for cooperation. And now you’re telling me
about courtiers and emperors? Do you think this is meaningful?”
Kayden suppressed his anger and said, “I hope you can understand my dilemma.”
“Just half an hour ago, ExxonMobil contacted me. They asked me to abandon this action against
ExxonMobil. I did not agree to their request after considering it.”
Jasper raised his eyebrows and said, “So you agreed to their other requirements, right?”
Kayden’s breath hitched and after a moment of silence, he said, “I’m still going to tell you the same
thing. I hope you can understand my dilemma.”
“Certainly.”
“If you can’t understand, I can’t help it either.”
“But regardless, I will not do anything treacherous.”
After speaking, Kayden directly hung up the phone. Jasper sat on the sofa after putting down the
phone slowly.
Even though there was no expression on his face, his brain was thinking hard at that moment.
Things were trickier than he thought, but Jasper was not so angry now.
After that burst of anger was vented, Jasper recognized that anger would not help solve the problem at
all. Rather, it would make him make impulsive and irrational decisions which were absolutely
unnecessary.
The most important thing right now was to analyze clearly what Kayden’s thoughts and attitudes were.
Jasper could tell from Kayden’s words that he was being untruthful and the only person who could
force Kayden to do things was Half the Harbor Langdon.
Narrowing his eyes, Jasper realized that Half the Harbor Langdon played a very important role in this.
Moreover, judging from the character of this old fox, he would indeed do something like selling his
teammates for glory.
After thinking about it, Jasper called the Laws directly.
“Jasper, can I help you?”
On the phone, Zachary’s hearty voice could be heard. Jasper smiled and said, “There is indeed
something I need your help with, Uncle Law. You haven’t watched the United States stock market
today, right?”
Zachary replied, “I have been busy these two days, so I haven’t had time to watch. What’s wrong?”
Jasper told him what happened briefly.
“This is a very tricky situation. In terms of influence, I cannot match the J. Langdon father and son at
the Harbor City trading center. If they are determined to do this, it will be very troublesome.”
Zachary snorted and said, “Half the Harbor Langdon, that old fox, has always been like this. He would
even dig up his own parents graves if it meant he would earn some money.”
“Don’t worry about this. I will take down Half the Harbor Langdon. After all, his foundation is still in
Harbor City. The most important thing is that you have the mainland and Swallow City behind you.
Therefore, even if he’s siding with ExxonMobil, he won’t dare to do too much, otherwise, he would be
sacrificing big to make a small gain.”
“However, you still have to get an appropriate grasp of Kayden’s side.”
Jasper nodded and said, “I understand, then I’ll leave Half the Harbor Langdon to you, Uncle Law. I will
find a way to solve the problem of the Harbor City trading center.”
After hanging up the call with Zachary, Jasper contacted Jake.
“Give me the situation of the assets of the three trading centers.”
After he said that, within three minutes, the fax machine in the hotel received the document faxed over
by Jake.
Jasper took a sharp breath when he looked at the contents of the sheet.
Among the three trading centers, Nauritus City was the strongest and the weakest was the Waterhoof
City center. The Harbor City center, which occupied the middle position, dominated a full one-third of
the capital share of the entire JW Foundation.
After thinking about it, Jasper realized that he had only one way to handle this at the end of the day. He
would send people into the Harbor City trading center and compete with Kayden for the command of
Harbor City funds.
Meanwhile, this person needed to have identity and status. Those two things were indispensable.
After staying silent for a while, Jasper called Henry.
“F*ck me! I thought I wouldn’t be able to contact you in ten days or even a month!”
Henry was thrilled when he received a call from Jasper.
“The boat docked in the early hours of this morning. Your gold is in a place controlled by my family.”
Tomorrow, my dad will send them to the bank for you.”
Jasper said with a grin, “I’m not here to ask you about that.”
Henry could sense the unusualness in Jasper’s tone. He asked, “What’s going on? Are we beating
someone up?”
“Something like this.”
Jasper sighed. “However, I worry if you go there, instead of beating someone up, you’ll be the one
getting beat up.”
This statement infuriated Young Master Law.
