Life at The Top novel Chapter 1496

When Gale heard what Dean said, he guffawed.

“I was a little surprised too.”

Gale opened his eyes and looked at Dean, who was deep in thought. He said slowly, “However, the most difficult thing to guess in the world is the human heart It is normal to get the wrong answer, let alone when facing someone like Jasper.”

“If he is so easy to take care of, an old fart like me who has lived 80 more years in this world would not have lost out to him.”

Dean bent down slightly and said while lowering his head, “He’s just pulling some cheap tricks. He’s using Old Master Law to pressure you, so how can you say you lost out to him?

“On the contrary, he also lost quite a bit when you brought in the business people from Teo. So, frankly speaking, you still won.”

“Stop speaking so highly of me.”

Gale glared at Dean and said, “Ever since I started plotting against that kid, I was always kept in the inferior position. How old is he and how old am I? Now that I am still plotting against him, aren’t I setting a bad example as an elder?”

Dean said respectfully, “I only know that success determines whether you’re a hero, I never heard of age determining the same thing.”

“Haha!”

Gale laughed.

“Never mind. You will be fully responsible for what is going to happen next. After this, I am sure Jasper will do something. If I need to show my face, you should just go on my behalf.”

Dean nodded. Then, he hesitated and asked, “Grandpa, so we’ll…”

Before he even finished, Gale understood what he meant

After a long sigh, Gale said, “Kid, I came from that special era. I watched the other countries bully ours. Back then it was fine, but after twenty to thirty years, those foreigners would still look down on us.

“You too. When I took you home, you were ten. Ten years before that, this country was the one that raised you.

“So, you cannot be too scheming in this matter. Just help wherever you can.”

“I understand,” Dean answered respectfully.

Gale seemed to be tired, so he closed his eyes and waved his hand.

Dean left deferentially. Then, he heard Gale singing to himself lowly as if he was talking in his sleep.

“As I watched them, I was as courageous as a sword, and when I raised my hand, I could not help but sweat. After I caught the thieves, I raised my sword to chop off their heads. Their blood splashed across the country and created a river of red.”

Jasper could not maintain his smile when he sat in the car. He even burst out laughing from time to time.

Henry was creeped out when he saw this.

“A loan and an investment are two different things. He might have his own plans,” Jasper said flatly.

“However, that has nothing to do with us anymore. It doesn’t matter what he has planned, he won’t try to be a hindrance to us in such a huge matter. At most, he will just watch as we die. However, since he took out so much money, it means he won’t cause us any trouble at the critical moment.”

Henry nodded as if he understood.

“So, where are we going now?”

Jasper narrowed his eyes and said, “Next, we’ll need to meet the presidents of a few Chambers of Commerce. Also, there are a few appointments we have to attend. In short, we have a lot left to do.”

“However, what I lack most now is time. The market will be closed for three days and, in addition to the weekends, it will be closed for a total of five days. Two days have passed since, so we don’t have much time left.”

Henry glanced at the exhausted-looking Jasper and could not help but say, “We’re at this stage anyway, so we’ll just do this step by step. If the sky falls, we have tall people to stop it from falling on us. It’s useless if you tire yourself out too.

“Tonight, I’ll make some arrangements for you to relax. We’ll continue tomorrow.”

Jasper said with a smile, “Do you have anything you can arrange for in Suesville?”

Henry chuckled and answered, “I don’t, but I have money. In this world, what can’t be solved with money?”

Jasper laughed and said, “Okay, it’s dinner time anyway. I’ll go with you and we’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.”

“Okay!”

Henry patted Julian’s driver seat happily and said with a grin, “Julian, drive to the city center. Go wherever is liveliest Today, I’ll only be doing one thing and that’s spending money!”
