Life at the Top Chapter 296 After he said that, Jasper smiled and turned around to look at Jim who was feeling excited. “Uncle Yapp, the lobster bisque tastes pretty good. It’s thick and creamy but not greasy. Do you want some?” Jim looked seriously at Jasper. He felt like he could not see through this young man anymore. He was unflustered and there was an air of arrogance emitting from his ordinary, modest self. Compared to a hedonistic son of rich parents like Hector, Jasper was ranked much higher. In comparison to Jasper, he was scared of Hector’s background and thus was fearful in everything he did when faced with the man. He did not dare to fight the world when he was impoverished anymore. Jim guffawed boldly and picked up the bowl. He laughed and said, “Alright, let me try the food from this chef who has worked in a palace before.” Jim said as he took some bisque for himself. However, at this moment, Hector, who had been ignored and suppressed this whole time, could not stand it anymore. He stood up suddenly and lifted his hand to turn the table over. With a loud whoosh, everything on the table was scattered to the floor. The bisque and sauces were all over the place, and the scene was a mess. Hector stood at the side of the table that had been pushed over and said sinisterly, “If you don’t give me an easy time, then none of you will have an easy time too! Do you really think you can take down Easy Media just because you have money?” While he said that, Hector looked gloomily at the King brothers who were petrified. He pointed at Jasper and said, “You two, think properly! Are you sure you want to sell him the company?” Leo and Noah looked at each other as beads of cold sweat started to pour down their faces. “Mr. Combe, um, Mr. Laine is too straightforward and we didn’t think—” “Stop bullsh*tting!” Hector interrupted the brothers roughly. He turned around to look at Jasper and said frigidly, “Jasper, I’ll say this now. If you insist on fighting me, then it means you’re determined to fight with me until death!” Jasper stood up too. He said indifferently, “Mr. Combe, it’s no use depending on the status of the elders in your family to buy something. It’s either you take out the money, or you leave. I’m taking out 500 million, what about you?” Jim almost burst out laughing after he heard Jasper saying this. Even though Hector had a powerful background, Jim felt extremely pleased right now when he saw Jasper pressuring Hector with his large amount of capital. Hector was on the brink of exploding from anger but could not say anything. Hector was indeed stronger than Jasper in terms of background and resources. However, if they were going to compete in terms of money, he was not Jasper’s rival at all. When Jasper was reborn, the market price for Easy Media was 11.5 billion. As such, this price right now was very low. Since Jasper had seven billion in cash right now, he did not care whether Easy Media was selling for 500 million or six billion. Hector glared at the King brothers. Indeed, those two brothers were still mortified. However, they seemed to be siding with Jasper from the look in their eyes. After all, Hector had disclosed the price before and he said he would only be able to pay 200 million at most. There was a 300 million price difference now. This was such a big difference that was enough for the King brothers to resist their fear against Hector’s power. They could take the money and bail. ‘Even if Hector is all that, will he follow us out of the country?’ Leo and Noah looked at each other at the same time with the same idea in their hearts. Money has been able to move someone since ancient times. This was what it meant. “You may have the riches, but I’m worried that you won’t have the life to enjoy it!” Hector said coldly. Jasper lifted his gaze to look into Hector’s eyes. He laughed and said, “Could it be that you, Mr. Combe, are able to conquer the world with just one hand?” Hector chuckled coldly and said, “I’m giving you another chance. Take back your asking price! 200 million! Leo, Noah, think it through!” The last sentence was obviously directed at the King brothers. Leo and Noah looked at each other before looking carefully at Jasper. This subconscious move angered Hector so much that he wanted to hit someone. Jasper smiled indifferently and said, “Mr. Leo, Mr. Noah, I won’t take back my offer price. I’ll buy it for 500 million. You should think about who you want to sell it to.” This was the first time Hector felt so infuriated after looking at the King brothers falling into a dilemma. This was already something in the bag, but he did not expect Jasper to hurt him with his capital. Now, Jasper was brazenly attacking him with his money just like how he usually used his power and background to make people bow down to him. The King brothers said 500 million. Then, fine, 500 million. Jasper would buy it. Life at the Top Chapter 297 However, what could Hector do? He was not able to take out 500 million. 200 million was already his absolute limit. He always depended on his power and background. Hector was always successful in every endeavor and this was the first time he realized how poor he was. When he thought about this, Hector felt his blood rushing to his brain. The way he stared at Jasper was as sinister and savage as a venomous snake. “Jasper, even if you buy Easy Media, aren’t you worried that I’ll ask every industry to shut your company out?” When he said this, Hector smirked and said, “When that happens, every celebrity in Easy Media won’t be allowed to take on any commercials nor make any albums. As long as it’s a movie or a TV series from your company, they will never be able to premiere in this life!” Jasper smiled when he was faced with Hector’s threats. He said, “What big words, Mr. Combe. “Since you’re saying this, then I shall tell you something in advance as well, Mr. Combe. “In the future after I buy Easy Media, I’ll integrate all of the industries as fast as I can. When that happens, any entertainment company under your name will be on Easy Media’s blacklist. “You’re shutting me out? Then I’ll do the same to you! Don’t you even think about working with Easy Media! I want to see if I’m the one who can bear the loss or if you’re the one who can handle this, Mr. Combe.” Hector clenched his fists tightly after listening to what Jasper said. His teeth were making cracking sounds from him gritting them too hard. He never had such intense intention to kill someone. However, he knew if Jasper was able to take out 500 million to buy Easy Media without even blinking, then he really had the money to go head-on with him. If that happened, he would be in much bigger trouble. “You won’t dare!” Hector roared. “No, I will.” Jasper nodded calmly. Hector laughed sinisterly and said, “Alright! Perfect!” He turned around and glared frigidly at the King brothers. Hector said emotionlessly, “Are you selling to Jasper or me?” Leo swallowed his saliva and said challengingly, “Mr. Combe, there’s such a huge price difference. Why don’t you increase it a little?” Hector’s face twitched. He looked at Jasper with bitter resentment. He was planning to borrow some from his older brother later. He might be able to get ten million. “250 million,” Hector said through gritted teeth. This was already his limit. After calling out this price, he was already prepared to get berated by his brother, Jacob Combe, when he went home. Leo and Noah looked at each other again. They were born in Swallow Capital. If this was not the last resort, they would not want to move the whole family abroad too. Then, at this critical moment, Jasper spoke. “600 million.” Hector sucked in a deep breath. He was enraged, but at the same time, he was shocked as well. Also, there was a hint of envy and greed that he did not want to admit. He did not expect Jasper to be so rich and imposing. He had gritted his teeth and could only take out an extra 50 million. This was already his limit. However, Jasper increased his offer price by another 100 million without even batting an eyelid. H-How would he be able to compete with that? Those insipid two words were like the last straw to the King brothers’ final line of defense. Now, the scale in the brothers’ hearts was completely leaning toward Jasper. “Mr. Laine, let’s sign the contract. Our requirement is an immediate transfer of the money.” Leo gritted his teeth and did not dare to look at Hector’s extremely dark face as he said to Jasper. Jasper smiled lightly and looked at Hector. He said, “I guess you’re embarrassingly short of money now, huh, Mr. Combe?” “How unfortunate. The one thing I do not lack is money.” Jasper shrugged and took out his checkbook to write a check directly. He then ripped it out and handed it to Leo. He said flatly, “A 600 million check from Commercial Bank. You can cash out at any time.” “You got balls!” Hector’s eyes were red as he watched Leo and Noah taking the check happily. He felt as if his face was swollen after getting slapped by Jasper. He growled and roared. “Kid, don’t forget where this place is! So what if you have some coins? I can f*cking squander all of your money!” Life at the Top Chapter 298 “Oh? You can’t win so you’re threatening me? I want to see how you’re going to squander my money.” Jasper took the transfer of shares contract from Jim and handed it to the King brothers before saying flatly, “Now, Easy Media belongs to me.” After that, Jasper lifted his head to look at Hector. There was a cold glint in his eyes. “Mr. Combe, not only do I have balls, but I also have money.” Crack, crack, crack. That was the sound of Hector grinding his teeth. He was standing there feeling like a shabby and poor idiot. Jasper kept on mocking him for having no money. The most infuriating thing was that Hector indeed had no money… At least he was unable to compete with Jasper. Hector was filled with extreme grief and indignation while looking angrily as the King brothers signed the contract happily. He felt extremely horrible right now. Now, this matter was basically irreversible. Everything was set in stone now. Currently, Easy Media belonged to Jasper based on legal principles. Meanwhile, Hector Combe was just a buffoon. This was the first time Hector felt so angry and aggrieved in his 30 years of living. If this was before, he would never let this go so easily. However, Hector was not an idiot. The King brothers were unable to reject the price Jasper was offering this time. He was not able to get the effect he wanted by threatening the King brothers while there was such a huge enticement in front of them. He was unable to snatch it over forcefully as well because the King brothers were not to be reckoned with. Even though they did not want to offend the Combes, Jasper’s price was enough for them to escape to faraway places! Hector took a deep breath and looked coldly at Jasper. He said, “Alright! I want to see whether this Easy Media that you bought for 600 million will be able to flourish! “Maybe it’ll need to switch its allegiance to a new patron after a few days!” Hector already had a plan to teach Jasper a lesson. He was going to let Jasper buy Easy Media and then give it to him obediently! When he thought about this, a smirk was seen on the corners of Hector’s lips. Swallow Capital was never a place to compete over who had the most money. Hector would not turn back now. George was trembling at one side, and he quickly stood up. He wanted to leave with Hector but someone stopped him. “Mr. Powell.” Jasper said dully. George’s body froze. “I plan to invest in Uncle Yapp’s commercial consultant agency. Your company will be our first target.” George felt his heart racing. He stole a glance at Hector but the latter only stopped in his tracks for a few seconds before walking away without turning back. At this moment, George had given up all hope. He knew Jasper was going to do something to him now. However, his biggest support, Hector, had already walked away. How would he care whether he lived or died? “Jasper, don’t be such an intolerable bully!” George said furiously. He had been operating in Swallow Capital for more than ten years and all of his belongings were in this company. How would he be willing to give it up?” “Hehe, this is just business competition. It’s such a normal thing, how am I bullying you?” Jasper said calmly. George’s expression changed as his lips trembled. He did not dare to say anything anymore. He knew that Jasper was a man of his words. Judging from him buying Easy Media with 600 million without even batting an eyelid, he would be able to crush him as easily as crushing an ant. If Hector was going to ignore him, then how would he be Jasper’s rival? Life at the Top Chapter 299 George fell into a deep state of despair. “Mr. Laine, please have mercy. I’ll never go against you anymore,” George begged while sobbing. Jasper looked indifferently at George. Suddenly, he smiled at Jim and said, “Uncle Yapp, how much do you think George’s company is worth?” Jim was slightly dazed. Before this, Jasper had never discussed it with him. However, currently, he had to cooperate with Jasper. Jim smiled and thought properly before saying, “Back then, it might have been worth seven or eight million, but the current market situation now is not that great and it’s difficult to have any business. So, I’m guessing two million max?” After George heard that, he was livid. He yelled, “Nonsense! My clientele alone is not even worth this price!” Jasper said indifferently, “If Uncle Yapp said two million, then two million it is. You can sell it to me for two million or you can fight with us.” George’s face immediately went white while his heart bled. If they bought his company for two million, the loss he suffered would be enough to make him bleed internally. However, George realized he could not say no. If he declined, his company might get destroyed by Jim. He was never Jim’s rival even back then, what more after Jasper’s injection of funds. After taking a deep breath, George smiled bitterly and said, “Okay, two million it is. I’m selling.” “That was the price just now. Now it’s 1.5 million,” Jim said suddenly. George was staring at him blankly after hearing that. He subconsciously wanted to scream but when he saw Jim and Jasper’s cold gazes, he came back to his senses. These two were setting a trap for him to walk into. If he said another word, he might only be left with one million. He clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, “Okay!” At this moment, George felt extremely remorseful. He should have never provoked Jasper. After tearing a check of 1.5 million, Jasper handed it to Jim and smiled. He said, “Uncle Yapp, we’ll just treat this 1.5 million as an introduction fee.” Jim did not expect Jasper to be serious. He quickly said, “Jasper, this is too much…” While he was saying that, he saw the glint in Jasper’s eyes and quickly stopped talking. He smiled in relief and took the check. He said, “Alright, if you need anything in the future, just let me know.” With the check in his hands, Jim knew this introduction fee was not just a simple 1.5 million Somer Dollars. Instead, he was gifting him George’s entire company. Jim’s ability would skyrocket immediately. He would be considered as one of the top companies in the commercial consulting industry in Swallow Capital. Was this not what he dreamed of? Compared to a cash prize of 1.5 million, George’s company was the true gift. If Jasper had not threatened George, the man would never have sold his company. Now, everything was only to be expected. This young man was so amazing. Jasper looked at the King brothers and said, “Mr. Leo, Mr. Noah, what are your plans now?” Leo smiled bitterly and said, “We’ll stay in Swallow Capital for these two days. After completing the procedures with you, we might leave Swallow Capital for the time being. We’ll only think about the future when the future comes.” Jasper nodded. He understood the fear that the King brothers had for Hector. “That’s good. Hector won’t let this go so easily,” Jasper said indifferently. Noah only sat at one side and had not said much this entire time. He hesitated for a while before saying to Jasper, “Mr. Laine, I should advise you that even though Hector is very difficult to deal with, his brother Jacob is an even more difficult person to deal with. Hector has suffered such a huge loss this time, so he won’t give up so easily. “It’ll be even more troublesome if Jacob decides to show his face… So, Mr. Laine, if you have any connections now, you should get in contact with them to make preparations.” At this moment, Hector had already walked out of Prince Mansion. He got into the car and called a number. “Jacob, I want to kill someone named Jasper Laine…” After Hector recounted the entire situation, he voiced out his plan. There was silence on the other end of the phone. Then, a calm voice sounded. “How many times have I told you not to act so rashly when you encounter something? Come home now and we’ll talk about the details later.” “I’m going home now. I have to kill him no matter what!” Hector said with a sinister look on his face. “Don’t worry, I won’t allow you to be wronged. No matter who that is, we’ll break their grubby paws if they disrespect the Combes in Swallow Capital and dare to steal out profits from us.” Life at the Top Chapter 300 After Hector got his brother’s promise, the sinister look on his face turned into gloominess. He hung up the phone and drove home immediately. … In two days, the King brothers completed the transfer of ownership of the company to Jasper as quickly as they could. After the final procedure, the King brothers did not have time to exchange courtesies before turning around to take their wives and kids overseas. Perhaps they were going to see how things were going to develop. If Jasper was able to handle Hector’s revenge, then they might come back. If he could not, then they might never come back. Jasper did not have any opinions about this. Even though the King brothers had also proved themselves to be strong talents in the future entertainment industry, at this critical moment, they would not stay in the company to help him. Jasper would just find someone else to help him. As long as you had money in this world, there would be more than enough talented people willing to work for you. In these two days, Hudson and the gang went back to Cavern City while Jasper was intensively integrating the higher-ups of Easy Media. Easy Media was much easier to handle than Sena. After all, the King brothers already had the intention to sell the company, so the higher-ups were prepared for the news. Therefore, they were willing to continue working for Jasper. Jasper did not hastily rearrange the duties of the leaders in Easy Media. He was not familiar with the abilities and personalities of these people, so he planned to observe them for a while. At this moment, a plane was slowly descending in Swallow Capital International Airport. Henry leaped out of the plane. He stretched and took a deep breath. He looked touched as he said, “The air out here is so much better. I was going to suffocate on that flight.” Behind Henry was Anna, wearing a bright red dress and looking devastatingly beautiful. Anna put on her sunglasses to block out the glare from the sun and looked at Henry who was jumping about. She said solemnly, “We had an agreement. We’ll only stay here for three days.” Henry said unhappily, “I got it, I got it. Aren’t you tired from nagging throughout this entire trip? “The reason we came to Swallow Capital is that this is the first time the old man asked me to handle a serious matter. Plus, it’s a gigantic project for the Olympic Village, so I have to settle this for him no matter what.” Anna looked at Henry’s high-spirited behavior and cracked down on him. She said, “This time, Dad asked you here to discuss this tentative. Now that Swallow Capital has successfully applied for the Olympics, the construction for the Olympic Village is still on paper. How much impact do you think you can have?” Henry said while feeling pissed, “That’s why I need to show my ability… I know you can’t wait to run over to give Jasper a surprise. Okay, okay, stop glaring at me with your eyes. Do you think the old man and I don’t know why you insisted on coming along this time? “After we’re done with this, we’ll go look for Jasper immediately and surprise him, okay?” Anna huffed. She did not want to waste her breath talking to Henry anymore. She turned around and walked out of the airport. Henry yawned and followed behind Anna lazily. He was walking while dragging his feet, looking even more hedonistic than the most hedonistic person in Swallow Capital. After the siblings walked out of the airport, there were already people waiting for them as they had received the news. A tall young man with a unique temperament spotted the siblings after they walked out of the tunnel. His eyes lit up, and he quickly brought his younger brother who was standing next to him over. “Hello, Mr. Law. I’m Jacob Combe and I’m one of the Combes who contacted you before.” Jacob walked in front of Henry respectfully and bowed carefully before saying. Henry was the eldest grandson whose father was also the eldest son of the Law family’s third generation. He was the future successor of the Laws. Even though Jacob was also the child of the Combe family of Swallow City, no matter the entire Combe family or even Jacob himself, they were not able to compare to Henry.
