Victory in Life
Chapter 63
However, Jasper was not afraid at all, he walked straight into the private room without glancing to the side.
Behind Jasper, John's face paled, he continued to swallow his saliva and did not dare to look at the thugs on either side.
When they reached the door of the private room, John who was eager to escape from this corridor, took the initiative to grab the doorknob.
With one punch, one of the men who looked like the leader of the thugs brushed John off.
"Mr Lewis said you should kneel down and crawl into the room if you want to get in!"
The leader of the thugs was flap-haired and showed off a creepy-looking tattoo all over his arm, he sneered and his eyes were filled with an evil glint.
John trembled in anger, yet he did not dare to say anything, so he turned his gaze to Jasper.
Jasper glanced at the thug leader and raised the volume of his voice to say to the person behind the door, "Hugh, is this how you treat guests?"
The private room was silent.
"Alright, if you think these thugs keep acting like this, then you can have some fun yourself!*
After he said that, Jasper turned to leave.
As he turned around, the door of the private room opened.
The inside of the room was huge there was a large round table filled with food, Hugh was sitting in the main seat facing the door in an imposing and challenging manner, he was holding a piece of roasted chicken, he was holding a piece of grilled chicken, and his face was greasy from chewing it.
On the other seat of the round table were some people that Jasper knew and saw in Royce's villa before they looked as if they were sitting on a safety pin.
Behind Hugh were some tall and burly guards.
He was like a mafia leader.
"Haha, excuse me aky, my people are insensitive, friends please come in"
Hugh grinned as he said, he pointed at the chair next to him with his greasy finger "Here I prepare that chair for you guys"
Jasper took John to his room and sat down.
Hugh stood up and walked over to John so that he was behind him, he wiped his greasy hands on John's suit and chuckled "Did you bring money?"
"What money?" Jasper asked back nonchalantly.
The smile on Hugh's face gradually disappeared, then he smashed his hand on the table.
He exerted all his strength as he kicked the table, not only were the equipment on the round table jumping, but even the people on both sides of the round table were shocked.
Hugh roared at Jasper "Are you kidding me now? I told you to bring 80 million! Where's money?"
Jasper stood up and looked straight at Hugh, he took out a checkbook from his pocket and wrote a sum of 80 million.
Hugh's eyes sparkled as he looked at it.
He thought Jasper was afraid of him and actually came here to beg for mercy.
Back then, he had lost 50 million and during this period he had secretly embezzled a certain amount of client funds to fill the void, even though so many clients were beginning to feel suspicious.
However, Hugh managed to suppress all of them.
If he could earn this 80 million today, then not only would he make his losses pay off, but he would even earn 30 million.
"Ha ha ha!"
Hugh patted Jasper on the shoulder and laughed out loud, saying "The wise man is subject to his circumstances, Young man I admire you for having a sense of modesty"
By this time, Jasper had already written the check but did not sign it.
"Do you want this?"
Jasper glanced at the oil Hugh washes on his coat and said indifferently "Wash my clothes clean again"
Hugh stared fixedly at Jasper's hand and sneered "It's just a piece of clothing, sign this check, give it to me, and I'll buy ten for you!"
"Mr Lewis, money is always nothing but numbers to me, but... Do you think I came here to give you money?"
After saying so, Jasper tore the check in front of Hugh and the others.
By tearing it apart, the checks that were able to cash out 80 million from the Bank turned into scrap paper.
The smile on Hugh's face froze.
Then, Jasper looked at Hugh and uttered a statement coldly.
"You're dirtying my clothes, so you have to wash them for me!"
Gluey!
At this moment, the air in the private room was extremely tense.
It felt as if everyone had been glued together with a strong glue. No one dared to do or say anything.
John was really scared.
He was afraid that Hugh would get really angry and do something irrational.
This place is filled with Hugh's men, and if he's really crazy, no one will guarantee what's going to happen to Jasper and him.
"Hen!"
As everyone held their breaths and did not dare to exhale, Hugh let out this voice from his throat.. It sounded like laughing, but it was too short and cold, and no one felt any kindness from it.
"Jasper, no one dares to be insolent in front of me. Meanwhile, you're really pissing me off."
While he said that, Hugh stared intently at Jasper with his eyes glittering with a hostile attitude.
"I'll let you guess if I had the guts to call some of my men here, pluck out your hand and foot nerves and give them tens of thousands of dollars to leave the country. What's going to happen to you next is a lifelong disability."
...
Just moments before Jasper and John arrive at the hotel.
The two young men in John's office were waiting for the trade to begin.
They dare not doubt. When the time came, their fingers immediately flew across the keyboard and they began to do as John instructed before he left.
At the next moment, Company A received an injection of 2M funds.
Zoni is a blue chip stock in the eyes of many stock investors.
A second before the trade starts, the price is still flat and reasonable.
Many stock investors who follow this get news about the trade promotion and there will be a big increase soon.
When they consider whether to buy some, in the next second, the stock price drops.
When the stock investor is in a daze, the price falls horribly once again after not moving for less than 1 second.
The stock investors who did not buy felt lucky to avoid the bullet. However, stock investors who have bought cry into the sky and sell the shares they hold at the lowest price as if they have gone mad.
However, falling stock prices do not provide an opportunity for them to sell.
Once they have the lowest price pending, the current stock price will drop below the price they set.
The plunge in stock prices without warning attracts many people.
Including the vice president of Latern Capital who was staring closely at the situation all along.
He is Hugh's trusted aide, so of course, he knows that his boss and some owners of private companies own a number of shares and trade in Zoni.
Due to his great potential, Hugh had invested as a large fund from Latern Capital into Zoni. He was waiting to make a lot of money when the time came.
However, Zoni now fell as if falling off a cliff. Sweat formed on the forehead of this vice president.
In the blink of an eye, he received many calls. They all asked if it was Latern Capital that caused this downfall because of something they had done secretly.
the vice president just wants to condemn.
If Zoni's stock price plummeted, the one suffering the biggest loss would be Latern Capital. He was not a fool, so why would he let him fall?
After a few calls, the price still dropped. On the other hand, the company's Floating Loss account has reached a terrible number.
It's out of his control.
The vice president didn't hesitate to call Hugh.
At this time, Hugh was considering whether to incapacitate Jasper.
That hasty ringing tone eased the tension in the quiet room.
Hugh frowned and answered the call while feeling annoyed.
However, after hearing the important report from the other end, Hugh's expression slowly changed.
The contrast was Jasper's increasingly calm eyes.
"How is it possible..."
Hugh muttered in disbelief. Then, it was as if he had returned to his senses. He grabbed Jasper by the collar and roared, "Here you are? Did you do that to Zoni?"
