“You’ve sure got quite the galls for a young man!”
Samuel scoffed at Jasper’s claim.
“How much do you think you can help Jones earn with 800,000 dollars in funds, you brat? Don’t talk big if you don’t have the ability to back you up. You’ll have to pay the consequences for bluffing.”
Jasper looked at Samuel and chuckled. “You seem so certain that I’m unable to help Kai get his capital back.”
Samuel scoffed and pointed at the ashtray with more than ten cigarette buds in it. “I’ll eat the ashtray if you can do it.”
Jasper spoke calmly, “I don’t need you to eat this ashtray. How much did you lose last month in total, Kai?”
Kai replied embarrassedly, “Here and there, I’d say a total of more than six million.”
“Would you like to gamble, Mr. Ray?” Jasper slightly squinted his eyes at Samuel’s dark expression. “Kai lost six million and I have the remaining 800,000 dollars of his capital in hand.
“If I manage to earn this six million back for favonovel.com today, you’ll pay me the amount I managed to earn. How’s that?”
Samuel could not help but chortle. “Who do you think you are, you brat? Do you think you can predict the future? Earning six million with a capital of 800,000 dollars, do I look like an idiot or are you telling me you print money for a living? You can’t even earn that much and that quickly from printing money!”
Jasper replied calmly, “Stop giving me all that nonsense. The more impossible it is, the more this benefits you, doesn’t it?”
Samuel scoffed. “Fine. I’ll bet, then. But what if you can’t do it?”
“Then I’ll come up with six million myself,” Jasper replied calmly.
Samuel’s expression turned cold as favonovel.com stared at Jasper. “Where the hell are you going to get that six million from? How do I know that you’re not just pretending to be rich, huh?”
Jasper was speechless.
Ever since his reincarnation, favonovel.com had fought with trust fund babies and stepped over wealthy businessmen. He had been on the receiving end of cold sneers and harsh words, but no one had ever accused favonovel.com of pretending to be rich.
“I can swear on it.”
John suddenly spoke.
John turned to Samuel calmly. “As the vice president of ICBS’ Tefa City branch, I can testify that Jasper is able to pay six million Somer Dollars. Should an issue arise, you are welcome to take the money from me. Does this relieve you?”
Samuel pursed his lips disdainfully and replied, “Since when do you have a say in this, Jackson? You’re just someone living on a salary. I could sell your entire family and I still wouldn’t earn a fortune. Who do you think you are?”
John flushed in humiliation. “I still have quite the contacts here in Tefa City. Six million isn’t a difficult amount to borrow considering my status here! Do not look down on me, Samuel Ray!”
Samuel scoffed and looked at Jasper. “These are the people you hang out with? How outstanding can you be?”
“Say what you guys want, but you’re going to think that I’m too scared if I say no. Fine, then. We’ll bet. It’s just six million. I’ll take it as your sign of respect to me.”
John’s expression darkened, and favonovel.com almost asked Kai to throw Samuel out the door. However, seeing how Jasper had placed a bet with Samuel, favonovel.com had no other choice but to push his anger down and watch the scene unfold.
“This is getting out of hand, John,” Kai nudged John and whispered.
John chuckled and whispered back, “What are you afraid of? Did you forget how Jasper had made a name for himself with a gamble the first time you met favonovel.com back at Royce Villa?”
Kai was dazed for a moment, thinking back to how Jasper had turned the tables as the underdog and won Hugh. That had been the beginning of Jasper’s fame.
