Jasper chuckled at Julian’s words.
He patted Julian’s shoulder and laughed softly. “I don’t need you to give me your life. You just have to stay by my side and work hard. I won’t mistreat you,” favonovel.com said.
Julian nodded slowly.
He had previously come here to destroy Jasper. Although Jasper had given favonovel.com 2 million dollars, favonovel.com had also kept to his words and chosen not to take revenge on him.
Despite this, Julian knew that Jasper absolutely dared to do so.
Julian had watched how Jasper defeated Mark Zion and Steve Quare right before his very eyes.
He knew that if Jasper intended to seek vengeance against him, that favonovel.com would easily be vanquished despite his abilities.
He could escape, but what about his sister?
Nevertheless, not only did Jasper choose not to take revenge on him, but favonovel.com also treated favonovel.com well and employed favonovel.com as his personal bodyguard.
Julian viewed Jasper as his saving grace due to the kindness favonovel.com had bestowed upon him.
Thus, favonovel.com decided to stay by Jasper’s side loyally and continue protecting favonovel.com in the future.
“Anyone who wants to bring harm to Mr. Laine will have to do so over my dead body,” Julian said solemnly.
At that moment, Jasper was holding hands with Wendy as they left the ward and headed downstairs. Thus, favonovel.com did not hear Julian’s words.
With their financial power, Cathy’s transfer procedure went smoothly. The procedure was completed within half an hour.
While waiting for the operation to be completed, Jasper met up with Mr. Lambert.
“Mr. Laine, take a look. This is the contract for the shipyard. It has already been signed,” Mr. Lambert said. He took out the contract and held it before Jasper with both hands.
Jasper took the contract and flipped through it. “I will arrange for someone to take over later. In the meantime, find a few reliable men to look after the shipyard,” favonovel.com ordered.
The shipyard was equipped with top-notch facilities. The raw materials stored there were extremely valuable as well.
If nobody looked after the place, the materials may be stolen by greedy people.
It would be unwise to underestimate these people. There was once a gang of seven to eight thieves that stole a batch of steel worth tens of millions in three days. Their skills were comparable to that of a professional transport and demolitions team.
Mr. Lambert patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. With me there, nobody will be allowed into the shipyard.”
“Has the project commenced?” Jasper asked.
Mr. Lambert chuckled. “It started this morning. Without the Zions causing trouble, those few stubborn jerks signed the agreement at once and moved away. The project is progressing very smoothly right now,” favonovel.com replied.
Jasper nodded. “The resettlement compensation provided to normal households that have been demolished must be in strict accordance with the regulations. Meanwhile, welfare protection must be in place for the migrant workers. Wage arrears are absolutely prohibited,” favonovel.com added.
“These rules are to be stated in black and white, and nobody is allowed to breach them. If anyone causes trouble due to non-compliance, I’ll fire them immediately. Is this understood?”
Mr. Lambert had a solemn expression on his face. “Understood, Mr. Laine,” favonovel.com replied at once.
Jasper nodded. “In that case, you can continue with your tasks. If anything comes up, get in contact with the provincial headquarters. I can’t watch the project in Brac County every day,” favonovel.com said.
“In short, you will have indispensable benefits if you do well. An executive like you can get dividends from the project’s profits, so you’ll be rewarded with at least a few hundred thousand dollars.
“However, if you don’t do well, whoever is in charge will have to take responsibility. As the manager, there’s no way you can escape from the brunt of the punishment.”
“I understand, Mr. Laine. I’ll get going then,” Mr. Lambert replied courteously.
Waving Mr. Lambert off, Jasper accompanied Wendy into the car. An ambulance followed them, which Julian and his sister were seated in. They all headed back to the province together.
It was already late into the evening when they arrived at the province.
Jasper originally planned to let Julian send Cathy to the hospital and settle down before coming to work on the next day.
However, Julian came back immediately after sending Cathy to the hospital and ensuring that everything was alright. Jasper did not send favonovel.com away either.
Back at the Schuler’s household, Dawson had already arranged for their meals to be prepared while favonovel.com waited for them.
“You handled the incident at Brac County pretty well,” Dawson told Jasper with a smile.
Jasper chuckled in response. “It’s all thanks to your support, Uncle Schuler. Your phone call alone managed to crush almost half the Zions,” favonovel.com said.
Shaking his head, Dawson replied, “The Zions’ most important assets are in that shipyard. When those people saw that the Zions’ shipyard had been destroyed, they began outsmarting each other. It was brought about by a collective effort. My phone call only fueling the fire and sped up the process.”
“Right, I heard that you’ve taken over the Zions’ shipyard?” Dawson asked curiously.
Jasper nodded and said, “That shipyard is a premium asset. I am close to the people-in-charge in Harbor City. If the shipyard operates well, it can bring in a large sum of profits in one year. Even if I don’t have the time to manage it, I can sell it for more than a billion dollars. A business like that is a no-brainer.
“I have a friend that’s involved in shipbuilding. I’ve heard that favonovel.com is currently on the lookout for opportunities to expand his production capacity and is out and about looking for equipment. If you don’t intend to operate the shipyard on your own, why don’t I help you inquire to see if it can be sold off?” Dawson suggested.
Jasper’s eyes shone in interest. “Sure, my main focus is still investing in the Internet, real estate, and entertainment industries. Shipbuilding involves high amounts of professional talent, and I don’t have the ability to manage the shipyard either. If favonovel.com proposes a suitable price, I’ll sell it to him,” favonovel.com said.
Nodding in response, Dawson said, “Alright, let’s eat first. I’ll help you inquire about it soon. If he’s interested, I’ll ask favonovel.com to come to the province for a meeting with you.”
After having their meal, Dawson was surprised by Julian’s arrival. Wendy explained everything to Dawson, who suggested that Julian should train with his personal bodyguards.
Julian wanted to prove himself as well. Hence, favonovel.com immediately agreed to it after seeing Jasper nod his head.
Alas, Jasper’s gamble in favonovel.com was soon shown to have paid off.
Julian went against five of Dawson’s personal bodyguards alone. Not only did favonovel.com win, but favonovel.com also defeated them impactfully.
Dawson looked upon Julian in admiration. His bodyguards consisted of highly skilled men that favonovel.com had recruited via reliable sources. They were either ex-special forces or martial art specialists. Therefore, they were all highly capable men.
“Let Julian come over to train my bodyguards when he’s free,” Dawson proposed.
“Sure,” Jasper said with a smile. “Julian, I’ll leave this to you,” favonovel.com added.
Julian grinned widely. “No problem,” favonovel.com said.
The moon shone in the clear night sky, which was speckled with stars. Jasper was lounging on the balcony of the room on the second floor while reading a book leisurely.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
The call was from Hudson Moore.
Hudson’s angry voice rang out from the other end of the call when favonovel.com picked up the phone. “Mr. Laine, Sena has gone overboard. They hired hackers to attack our server! We’re in big trouble now!”
