“I understand what you mean,” Jasper sighed.
“But there is no other way. We can’t abandon the center in Waterhoof City. It will only further weaken our already disadvantaged side.”
“I’m afraid that Quantum Fund will see through this. If this is the case, the situation will become very troublesome.”
At the same time, in the center in Waterhoof City. Lord Alvarado’s expression was extremely gloomy.
The little prince threw the phone back to Lord Alvarado and smiled. “I told you not to pull those cheap tricks. See? Now you are shooting yourself in the foot.”
Lord Alvarado glanced at the little prince and said coldly, “Don’t forget that you were also tacitly agreeing to it at the time. Now that something had happened, you’re pushing all the blame on me?”
The little prince shook his head and said, “Actually, I opposed it from the beginning, but I know that you were determined, and that my objection would only add to the conflict between you and I.”
Lord Alvarado coldly snorted, “Did you see Jasper’s attitude? What gives? Does favonovel.com really think favonovel.com can order us around by stepping on our heads?”
“You still look down on him,” the little prince said insipidly.
Lord Alvarado raised his eyebrows and burst into laughter from all his pent-up anger. “Why should I look up at him?”
The little prince said lightly, “This is the biggest problem you have. You are too conceited.”
“Although you admit that Jasper is taking charge now, you’ve not been convinced of his abilities since the beginning.”
Lord Alvarado said irritably, “Don’t waste your breath. Do you think telling me this is meaningful?”
“Next, Jasper will mobilize some of the main funds to ease the pressure on us. When that time comes, we will withdraw. Power over these stocks can only be surrendered to Quantum Fund.” The little prince shook his head.
Lord Alvarado got up and said, “Out of sight out of mind. I‘ll rest first.”
Looking at Lord Alvarado‘s retreating back, the little prince frowned slightly.
“You should go on with your business.”
After dismissing the people next to him, the little prince returned to the office, closed the door, turned on the computer, and connected to the video call.
After a while, the screen flickered and a reserved and respectful man with a smile appeared.
“Little Prince, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to me,” the man in the video said softly.
The little prince slowly rubbed the ring on the little finger of his left hand and smiled lightly. “Just as expected, Lord Alvarado made the wrong choice because of his impulsiveness and irrationality.”
The man in the video did not look proud of himself at all. He just smiled and said, “A person’s behavioral pattern cannot be changed so easily. It often depends on the inner character that’s hidden in the deepest part of himself. It’s just that some people hide this deep inside and others not so much.”
“Do you think I hide it deep or shallow?” The little prince asked faintly.
When the man was faced with this very difficult problem, his face remained unchanged. He smiled and said, “You’re a potential collaborator, Little Prince. We will not judge the way our collaborators think. This is the most basic form of respect.”
“Interesting.”
The little prince smiled superficially. He did know whether to believe this man or not.
After a while, the little prince continued to speak, “Dean, tell me, you asked me to collaborate with you, but on what?”
