Life at The Top novel Chapter 207

Was there a mole?

This was the biggest possibility Jasper could come up with.

However, he did not eliminate the possibility that the opponent had predicted what he was about to do.

In short, it did not matter if there was a mole or not. Judging from the current situation, Jasper should enjoy the fruits of his victory.

It would be impossible for Harbor City to get through the burst of the economic bubble this time unharmed.

The global economy had been badly affected and suffered a great loss. These were the rules of economics and also the trend that Jasper was talking about, so it would be impossible to change this.

As such, as long as he was able to stop Harbor City’s economy from being further destroyed, this was the biggest victory for him!

Jasper had done it.

However, it just did not reach his expectations.

Jasper got rid of these thoughts and walked in front of Jake. He only smiled and did not say anything.

Jake looked at Jasper sinisterly and frenetically. He gritted his teeth and said, “Why are you smiling at me like that?”

“Honor your promise,” said Jasper insipidly, “You said that if I win, you’ll kneel, grovel, admit your mistakes, and even become my apprentice. Did you forget that in such a short time?”

Jake laughed from anger. “You want me to kneel, grovel, and ask you to make me your apprentice? You’re dreaming!”

“The heads of the four rich families have all witnessed what you said just now. If you plan not to own up, then can you guess what your consequences will be?” Jasper said flatly.

Jake said with animosity, “Jasper, don’t go too far!”

“Am I going too far or were you too egotistical?” Jasper asked, and his eyes that were looking at Jake were emotionless.

“I never liked competing with someone verbally. I prefer to talk based on facts. Now, you’ve seen it for yourself. I won, so… you should honor your promise.”

Henry chuckled and walked over. He lifted his hand and patted Jake’s shoulder. He pressed him down, saying slovenly, “You son of a b*tch, you bet, you pay. Now, a weasel like you should kneel, grovel, and admit your mistakes before asking him to take you as his apprentice.”

After he said that, Henry said meaningfully, “If you don’t kneel, do you think you can walk out the door of Law Manor?”

After Jake heard that, his face turned white.

He knew a child of a top aristocrat like Henry would have the guts to do anything. There were also a lot of people willing to risk their lives for him.

Jake pondered for a while before bowing his head deeply. He bent his knees and knelt on the floor heavily.

“I was wrong. I’m sorry!”

Jake gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart. “Please take me as your apprentice!”

Jasper looked at him unenthusiastically and said to Henry, “Let him go and let him leave.”

“You’re not taking him as your apprentice?” Henry asked with a grin. He wanted to use this opportunity to insult him some more.

“Next time.” Jasper narrowed his eyes.

If one overlooked the rest, a person like Jake really had professional skills. He was a suitable candidate to be his subordinate to manage the properties in Harbor City after he left.

However, it was not suitable to talk about this now.

“Alright, get lost.” Henry kicked Jake. “Remember to be humble next time. Don’t go about with your nose in the air just because you have some kills.”

After he heard this, Jake got up hurriedly. He glanced at the two of them with bitter resentment in his eyes and was too embarrassed to stay here anymore. As such, he turned around and ran away.

The heads of the four rich families were very busy, especially now. After exchanging courtesies with Jasper and leaving promises of working with him in the future, they left hurriedly.

After Kennedy got out of Law Manor, he did not go to put his assets in order like the rest of the gang. On the contrary, he went back to the secluded villa.

After he stepped into the villa, he saw Rogers smiling at him while raising his wine glass.

“My number one spy is back.” Rogers joked.

Kennedy shook his hand nonchalantly and asked, “How’s our profit?”

“We can make a ton of money, of course.”

Rogers said and shrugged. “However, there’s still some disparity with what we expected. That young man, Jasper, is very skilled. The trap in the end was pretty interesting!”

“Yet you still managed to solve it, no? I saw Jasper with a horrible look on his face when I was over there,” Kennedy said with a smile.

“He’s still young and needs to pay some tuition fees after all,” said Rogers while standing up.
