There were too many people paying attention to this news.
It had also brought a huge impact.
Even Dwayne, someone who was used to being part of huge occasions like this, found himself with a parched throat and a pounding heart.
Colin raised his head stiffly, looking at Conrad for the first time.
His gaze was an exceedingly complicated one.
He opened his mouth with much difficulty and said in a slow yet determined tone, “I… agree.”
When those two words left his lips, there was only silence. No one spoke, and everyone was holding their breaths.
Then, for some reason, everyone sighed in unison.
The direction of the company had been decided.
Ultimately, victory or defeat had been determined.
Jasper won.
Conrad, a genius that only appeared once every half a century, lost.
He lost thoroughly and completely.
The audience looked warily at both parties.
Conrad slumped on the chair as though his soul had left his body. There was a slightly dull and bleary look on his face. His palms were still bleeding, and this made him look both wretched and sinister.
As for Jasper, he remained calm and breezy, looking as though he had just accomplished an insignificant task. There was a hint of weariness amidst the calmness on his face, like nothing about this meeting could excite him.
Mitch was livid. He slowly turned around and gave Conrad a death stare, saying, “This is the fun you wanted me to watch? It’s really fun indeed—simply hilarious!”
Conrad trembled, finally coming back to his senses. He stood up abruptly.
Sure?!
Jasper agreed to it?
He agreed to Conrad destroying this company that was worth tens of billions?
Why would Jasper even bother spending tens of billions then?
Everyone was struck dumb by what Jasper said.
Everyone but Young Master Law. He felt a sense of superiority, as though everyone was drunk and he alone was sober. He was even itching to laugh out loud.
This was such a great show to watch!
Henry was well aware of how capable Jasper was and knew the way he handled things better than anyone. To him, earning money was not at all a difficult task. Jasper would only need to ask and the Laws, or even Gale alone, could easily sponsor him with tens of billions at any time!
Moreover, Jasper had ways to make the same amount of money in the shortest time possible. Could Conrad do the same?
