Life at The Top
Life At The Top Chapter 1931

What worried Zed the most now was that Wendy's accident might cause the

originally negotiated Ocean City Plan to be

left stranded. If this was the case, although the Nine Dragon Corporation and the Boyles would not incur any huge losses, this project had succeeded in piquing Zed's interest.

He believed that as long as it was an absolutely profitable business, coupled with JW's cooperation, then this project would grow to become even bigger and at a faster rate than he had ever imagined.

Zed's main purpose for this trip was to determine whether the Ocean City Plan could continue.

Fortunately, Jasper had given him a

reassuring answer.

"Mr. Walters, I don't actually intervene in

the Ocean City business, but I have another business here that I think has room for cooperation for the both of us." Jasper waved his hand to dismiss the servants from the room. Then, he got up and took the empty bowl to fill some

paella before handing it to Zed.

This scene shocked Zed and he quickly

stood up to receive it with both hands.

Zed was also a famous rich man in Harbor City. Even if some people say that he has the wealth and status today because of his status as the Boyles' son-in-law, it did

not prevent him from being looked up to b

y the vast majority of Harbor City people.

However, who was Jasper?

To be more realistic, even if they were

sitting together with the head of the

Boyles, Jasper would be on the same level. with them.

This also made him understand that the

cooperation that Jasper was about to mention next was definitely not anything simple.

"It's an honor that you're willing to give

me an opportunity and are willing to support me. If I can contribute, I will definitely not hesitate to do so, Mr. Laine."

Jasper chuckled and said, "I want to buy

some ships from the Boyles."

These words stunned Zed.

He did not understand what Jasper meant.

Nor why he said such things.

"Um... the Boyles don't sell ships. Even if

we do, it's the ones that are going to be sold as scrap metal. Moreover, I am not the one you should discuss this with. I am only responsible for the business of the

Nine Dragon Corporation."

Jasper smiled and said, "No, you're the

one I should talk to.

"What I want to buy are the ships owned b

y your family that are currently

transporting the Atticus family's rubber

supply in Southeast Terra."

As soon as he said this, Zed's face

changed drastically.

Jasper did not keep Zed on tenterhooks. He took a tissue to wipe his mouth and said

faintly, "The conflict between me and the

Atticus family is irreconcilable. Since he

decided to kidnap my person, then I'll

light his several ships of rubber on fire. It's only right to make the Atticus family face large-scale breach of contract and high price claims, right, Mr. Walters?" When he saw Jasper looking at himself with those shining eyes, Zed barely suppressed the storm in his heart and replied with a dry chuckle, "Yes, that's right."

As if not aware of how insincere Zed's words were, Jasper continued, "There are five ships in total, each of which is a huge ship with a displacement of more than 100 thousand tons. According to the market price, it'll be worth about 45 million Harbor Dollars, so I'll offer 400 million for those five ships. What do you think?"

Zed felt his scalp tingle as his throat tightened. He said with difficulty, "M-Mr. Laine, I don't understand what you mean."

"Don't you? Then I will make it clearer.

"If the five freighters that were loaded with all the rubber production of the Atticus family for the entire quarter were burned on the high seas, then the Boyles will not only receive huge insurance compensation but also my 400 million bucks. As for the Atticus Family, they will only get piles of breached contracts."
