Victory in Life
Chapter 683
Mr. Powers didn't expect Marcus to actually act so well according to Jasper's plan.
A piece of land has an initial bid of 100 to 200 million and Mr. Powers believes that it will only reach a maximum of 300 to 400 million.
Mr. Powers had no doubts about it, as it was in line with the city government's desire to oppress Marcus.
However, Jasper had just taken 950 million from Marcus at once.
"We are well aware of the financial situation of PT Fortune, Mr. Laine, the entire company is only worth about a billion, and by how much he has to pay this time, he said, I'm afraid it'll just get you in trouble."
Mr. Powers' words were very polite.
Jasper smiled and replied calmly. "There's no way I can invest in anything with Marcus still around, plus the city government also wants to get rid of Marcus, right? I believe the city government and my interests are aligned with this topic, I'm sure you don't want someone to slander the reputation of Reed City either, do you?"
Then, Jasper patted Mr. Powers on the shoulder. "I understand that there are many things that the city government cannot do, so I will do it for you, all I hope is that the city government can provide me with support at the necessary times."
Mr. Powers replied firmly, "I'll make sure to deliver your message word for word, Mr. Laine.
Jasper politely bid farewell to Mr. Powers and called Julian before he exited the boardroom while stretching.
Mr. Powers had a grim expression on his face as he watched Jasper disappear at the exit.
Just then, Chad walked over and whispered to - Mr Powers, "What should we do about this, Mr Powers?"
"What else can we do? the only option is to report this to the superiors and let them decide what to do next, the situation has gone beyond what we can control." Mr. Powers sighed.
"He tackles the most complicated problems with the simplest methods, what an interesting young man."
A middle-aged man sat in a spacious and solemn office, there were two flags on this office desk, which no ordinary office desk should have.
Mr. Powers stood respectfully before the table as he reported the details of the auction event this morning.
He also relayed Jasper's message without missing details to the middle-aged man.
After thinking for a moment, the middle-aged man waved his hand. "I'll still have a meeting later, you'll be responsible for the development of this situation, basically, you should clarify our stance on this matter.
"Don't say what's unnecessary and remain impartial, but you should do your part well."
Then, Mr. Powers said goodbye and left the room while thinking hard.
In the best public hospital in Reed City, Special Care Unit.
"The patient's arm has broken a bone, we have done our best to fix it, but there will be lifelong complications with his right hand, he will be able to use it as usual, he said, but it can no longer exert extreme force or participate in strenuous activity."
The doctor looked at the group of people who had sinister and bloodthirsty expressions on their faces, he was too nervous to take in more breaths.
"You're trash! Your whole family is made of fucking garbage!" the screams of a man who was very similar to Ned.
"Quite, they've already told us this, so we'll get the same answer wherever we go, at least his right hand isn't completely paralyzed. That's pretty good, isn't it?"
Len spoke expressionlessly.
"Thank you doctor, can you leave us alone?"
Len's peaceful attitude made the doctor sigh in relief and he immediately retired.
After the doctor left, Len then grimly turned towards Marcus who had been silent all along. "Speak Markus, Tell me what happened"
Marcus then went on to deliver the incident, albeit somewhat exaggerated in some parts.
In the hospital room, Marcus and Ned's father, Len and Fletcher, their expressions turned grim.
"Basically that's what happened to dad, Uncle Adkins."
"Jasper Laine! he didn't respect Ned and me just because he was rich, we didn't even say anything and he immediately started yelling about the fight!"
"This auction is supposed to be a fair competition, but who would have thought that bastard had bribed Chad? even Mr. Powers liked it too, Ned and I got caught in a trap he set and we ended up losing 950 million. There is no way we will accept this result!"
After Marcus' explanation, the situation now turns into a case of Jasper bullying them and disrespecting the local family, Jasper apparently also sets a nasty trap and causes Marcus to lose 950 million.
After Marcus was done, the hospital room went silent.
After a while, Len then glared at Marcus. "Do you think just because we're old, we don't know how kids usually behave? we just chose to let you act as you please on the outside, but that doesn't mean we're blind to people like you."
"Part of it being a trap is true, but from what I saw, you provoked him first, didn't you?"
Len's words made Marcus blush in embarrassment, he spoke furiously, "But it's true that he broke Ned's hand! he also bribed Chad to make me lose 950 million."
"Hmmm!" Len snorted coldly and spoke, "I told you not to provoke others as you like, right? then what about now? do you finally understand how powerful outsiders are?"
"What do you want to do about this, Fletcher?" Len looked at the other man who was very angry.
