Victory in Life
Chapter 75
Sitting on the sofa inside were two young people talking and laughing at each other.
Jasper wasn't surprised to see Zane here.
Back at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel yesterday, Henry showed up as soon as Zane left. They come from the same circle and the two do not like each other, therefore it is not surprising to know that they are planning something together.
However, sitting next to Zane was someone he knew, Zayden Hanks!
When Zayden saw Jasper, his expression was excited as if he was watching the national football team at the World Cup.
Zayden comes to the town of Harbor with little hope and the last resource of Sylva, and her biggest supporter turns out to be the Lancaster family.
In their early years, Sylva met Zane's father, Bob Lancaster, who was nicknamed Big B. They keep in touch from time to time.
After coming to the town of Harbor, Zayden uncovers a fascinating human world with his myriad of temptations. In comparison, a thriving city is not much different from a rural one.
He also learned that in a place like Harbor City, whoever has money is King, and no one disobeys them.
Because of this, Zayden recalls his painful experience and plans to hold on to Zane for life. Then, he would find a chance to return and take revenge.
Zayden thought of 10,000 different scenarios when he would meet Jasper again, how he would take revenge and humiliate him. Thinking about each scenario would make Zayden very emotional.
However, he had not expected this meeting to come so quickly and suddenly.
"You dog Jasper!"
Zayden looked at Jasper and hissed with gritted teeth.
"Wkwkwkwkwk, yes it's me. I didn't expect to see you here" Jasper said lightly.
Zayden clenched his fists and sneered. "You son of a bitch, who said you were allowed to come to Harbor?"
Standing beside him, Henry grinned.
He didn't expect to meet Zayden here.
Henry remained indifferent about it and was even a little arrogant. He wanted to teach Jasper a lesson, to show him the difference between Harbor City and the mainland. Jasper needs to know this isn't a place where he can play around as he pleases.
Now that Zayden was here, Henry watched with interest as the two sides argued.
Zane is the only one who knows nothing about this complicated relationship. He looked back and forth between Zayden and Jasper, laughing. "It seems you hold a grudge against him, Young Master Hanks?"
A hint of cruelty flashed in Zayden's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, ", More than just a grudge! He stole the proceeds of our offer using a shameless manner on the mainland and caused my family to suffer a great loss. I can't wait to kill him!"
"Zayden Hank was clearly the one who did not pay and gave up their right to bid. That's why I reluctantly accepted it."
Jasper shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "By the way, I should thank the Hanks family, and you, especially."
"The price you called is too high, so no one would dare to accept the offer after that. For this reason, the City Government gave your family a fine of 200 million, likely using the money as a subsidy to cut it off from the offer I paid. I must thank the Hanks family for their generosity."
Zayden gritted his teeth so hard that it almost shattered under the pressure. He jumped up from his seat and roared, "Dog, if you don't collude with the Law family using such despicable and cunning means, how could my family give up?"
*The winner takes all. From the way I see it, your current angry and incompetent roar makes you look more like a loser," Jasper said coldly.
Prok prok prok
Zane clapped his hands and stood up.
He then put his hand into his pants pocket, walked towards Jasper, and laughed. "Winners take it all, indeed. Look at me, am I a winner or a loser?"
"Are you a winner or a loser depending on who your opponent is" Jasper said lightly.
Jasper's tone was filled with a hint of contempt. Zane's skin changed suddenly!
This is a normal mockery!
Seeing this, Zayden's eyes sparkled.
He immediately fanned the flames and said, "Young Master Zane, please, Jasper told me a long time ago that he underestimated rich kids like us the most because all we do is play around all day and have no serious purpose in life. Well, I guess he's just jealous! This idiot has no idea how rich and influential the Harbor City noble family is!"
Aren't you afraid of being squeezed to death?!"
++
"Hey boy, don't be so arrogant just because you've made a small achievement, you have to bear the consequences of being arrogant here."
Zane narrowed his eyes at Jasper, sneered and said unhurriedly.
"You're underestimating rich kids, huh? You better listen, I'm a rich kid! My family has assets worth tens of billions of Harbor dollars and four listed companies, what about you? You really think you can escape after playing around with the Hanks family, huh?"
Standing beside him, Zayden was overjoyed, he was itching to shout above his lungs to express his happy feelings.
It was great to see Jasper humiliated!
"You hear that, Jasper? This is the town of Harbor! Young master Zane can hit you with just one finger!" Zayden laughed out loud.
Next to them, Henry crossed his arms in front of his chest while sitting at a table and eating fruit on a plate, and, his legs crossed above the others as he watched the quarrel as if things were no more serious than before.
Facing Zane's anger, Jasper chuckled and said slowly, "I think you're planning on defending Zayden?"
Zane sneered and said, "Certainly why would I defend him? You better listen, your unimportant accomplishments are just a pile of trash for me, stop being complacent in front of someone really strong, you... "
At this point, Zane slowly leaned into Jasper's ears and smiled grimly as he said word for word, "there's nothing... "
"All right then! Let me show you who I really am now"
Jasper nodded and pulled out his phone.
"Oh? Did you call someone? Oh, I'm so scared! An idiot! This is Harbor City, not the mainland, do you think you can intimidate me? Do you think trash like you deserve to hang out with Anna at all?"
Zane laughed when he saw what Jasper was doing.
Zayden also laughed out loud, "This idiot must be scared, an idiot from the mainland is trying to call someone in Harbor City to fight Young Master Zane?"
Zayden was very happy at the moment, now that Zane was around, he could avenge Jasper very well, it was better if Jasper could never return to the mainland again.
Henry felt his scalp tingling when he saw Jasper pressing the number, worried that Jasper would call his father or sister...
He would be in trouble regardless of who among them Jasper called.
"Why don't you sit down and eat first?"
Henry thinks it's time for him to step in and get everything sorted out now.
However, Henry looked down on Jasper deeply as he said those words.
God knows what's wrong with his grandfather and father that they still love Jasper when his abilities aren't at all impressive, will he ask for help because they say a few words about him?
His grandfather and father sent such a person to guide him?
Henry shook his head.
Jasper just ignored it.
Connected calls.
The call was not to Anna or Zachary, but to the mainland.
"Jasps?"
John's somewhat confused voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
Jasper had told her that he was going to Harbor City on a business trip a few days ago and would not be back this soon, why had he called her?
"John, link my account to the Harbor stock market, I'll direct you as I operate from my side, '" Jasper said without exchanging greetings.....
