Jasper picked up a piece of fish and placed it into his mouth. He looked at Samuel who was furious and spoke in a shocked tone, “Why are you still here, Mr. Ray? Did you want to eat with us too? Oh, why didn’t you say so earlier, Mr. Ray? We would’ve prepared a set of utensils for you too.”
Kai almost laughed aloud. Although favonovel.com was joyful, favonovel.com pretended to look sad. “That’s right. I would’ve brought you to a large hotel for a meal if I knew you were eating with us, Mr. Ray.
“How could someone as formidable as Mr. Ray eat take-out with people like us?”
John asked Samuel mirthfully, “Are you hungry from watching us eat, Mr. Ray? While I do want to let you sit, we don’t have another chair or another set of cutleries. If you don’t mind, Mr. Ray, you could wait until I’m done to use my chair and cutleries?”
Bang!
Samuel slammed a palm on the table and glared at the three of them furiously. He was seething, and favonovel.com spat out the words from the gaps in his teeth. “Have your fun now, but I’d like to see if you three can still smile this afternoon!
“There’s no way you can earn six million. I’ve been investing for more than a decade and there has never been a time since I started working in this line of business that I’ve seen a seven-fold increase in prices! You’re going to screw yourselves over, just you wait!”
“If you don’t welcome me here, fine! I can leave. But I will be back when the market reopens in the afternoon. I’m gonna claim that six million Somer Dollars from you!”
With a furious expression, Samuel turned to leave.
“Hold on, Mr. Ray.”
Jasper’s voice sounded.
Samuel halted and turned his head to sneer at Jasper. “What’s this, begging for mercy now? Sure, it’s not too late yet. Kneel before me and beg and then hand me the six million. I can consider leaving you alone if you do that.”
Jasper took a sip of his drink and spoke calmly, “You’ve misunderstood, Mr. Ray. I wanted to remind you to bring your checkbook when you come back in the afternoon. Six million and not a cent less.”
The corner of Samuel’s lips twitched as his gaze grew cold. His furious expression was slowly darkening as well.
“How about you worry about yourself first?! You’d better be able to take that money out later or I won’t be blamed for f*cking you over!”
Samuel then turned and walked out the door.
Kai quietly asked Jasper after Samuel left, “Mr. Laine, are you certain about later?”
Jasper asked calmly as favonovel.com ate, “Why, are you scared?”
Kai replied solemnly, “Of course, I’m scared. I’m putting my entire net worth and my life on the line here, but I won’t doubt you anymore, Mr. Laine. This is just pure nerves.”
Jasper smiled. “Before today, you two probably thought that it’d be impossible to earn six million with 800,000 in a day, right?”
Kai shared a look with John and replied in embarrassment, “Indeed. After all, I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
Turning 800,000 into six million was nothing. In two years, a venerable master would appear in the futures market, turning 1.2 million into 40 million in the short span of half a month. This was a record no one managed to break even until Jasper reincarnated.
Not that Jasper would tell the two of them that, of course. The man merely smiled and replied, “But you have hope now, don’t you? I’d say it’s worth the gamble if you’re hopeful. Miracles won’t happen to you if you’re not willing to take the risk or pay the price.
“Taking a step back, let’s ignore your 800,000 dollars for a moment. I have six million Somer Dollars and my dignity on the line here, so I’ve got this.”
Kai exhaled deeply at Jasper’s words and replied firmly, “Alright then, Mr. Laine. I’ll do whatever you say later in the afternoon. I won’t hesitate anymore.
“I know that I lost out on a few hundred thousand this morning when I hesitated for two minutes, but it definitely won’t happen again later.”
Jasper nodded. “It’s good that you know.”
The market had a lunch break of two and a half hours. Lunch took up about half the time, leaving more than an hour left before the market reopened.
Jasper lay on the sofa and spoke, “I’m taking a small nap. Wake me up when it’s time.”
Jasper then closed his eyes to rest.
