Jasper agreed to meet Wayne in the Imperial Kitchen.
The three were now much closer than when they had met for the first time, but there was still an invisible barrier between Jasper and the other two.
Jasper still had a smile on his face when favonovel.com shook Wayne’s hand. Then, favonovel.com pulled out a complete set of Grimms’ Fairy Tales.
“Both Volume 1 and 2. I know that you’re a fan of fairytales, and that you’ve love Grimms’ work a lot, Mr. Marlon. So I had someone find a complete set in Harbor City. I hope it’s to your liking.”
Wayne was surprised to receive such a gift.
“Thank you, Mr. Laine. I’ll treasure this gift,” Wayne put away the books happily.
The three then slipped into their seats.
Both Jasper and Wayne were well aware that this present was merely a conversation starter. No matter how valuable this gift was, it would hold no sway in their negotiation later.
Dinner began and instead of jumping straight to business negotiations, Jasper chatted aimlessly with Wayne and Jose.
Having lived five to six decades his past life and been through quite a lot in this timeline, Jasper was able to add his own two cents to any given topic. Wayne was also a talkative person, so coupled with Jose occasional comments, the atmosphere was harmonious as the three chatted.
After dinner was over, Jasper placed his cutlery down lightly.
At that moment, the two men who would one day become Somerland’s most formidable figures in the dot-com industry could not help but place their cutlery down as well.
No matter what their future held, Jasper’s current wealth and status were not something Wayne and Jose could compare to. Thus, it would be inappropriate if they continued to eat once Jasper stopped.
“Oh, right. Something interesting happened today.”
Jasper retold the incident from that afternoon regarding Mr. Kain and Jill. After all, Echo, who was involved in the incident, was closely related to Abbylon.
Wayne frowned. The Softwin representative favonovel.com was in contact with the most was, without a doubt, the President of the Somerland branch, Echo Welch.
He understood this man’s character–He was extremely lecherous and had a fetish for Somer beauties.
Perhaps it had to do with his stunted height, but Echo loved long-legged beauties the most.
Wayne had received countless unreasonable requests from Echo before, and it had given favonovel.com quite the few headaches. He just did not expect the man to set his eyes on Jill too.
Jasper saw Wayne and Jose’s expressions change for the worse and knew that his plan had worked. Still, this story was just a conversation starter.
At the same time, it was also a catalyst to have Wayne choose favonovel.com over Echo.
“Having said that, let’s get straight to the main topic!”
Jasper smiled and said directly.
“I want to be Abbylon’s majority shareholder!”
Jasper finally started talking about his true goal. While Wayne and Jose had expected it, they still found it quite unbelievable.
Jasper was asking a bit too much.
He was taking this opportunity to crush Softwin’s Somerland branch’s influence and power.
“Mr. Laine, you know that they hold 41% of Abbylon’s shares. I’m afraid this is going to be very, very difficult.’ Wayne smiled wryly.
