“Jasper, what’s going on? The center in Waterhoof City has become the primary target of Quantum Fund’s attack!”
On the other end of the phone, Lord Alvarado’s agitated voice could be heard.
Jasper frowned and said faintly, “This is just the opponent’s offensive strategy. Don’t panic. Once you panic, you will walk right into Quantum Fund’s trap.”
“That’s easy for you to say. Right now I am losing tens of millions every second, and the rate is fast increasing. Do you have any plans to cope with this?” Lord Alvarado asked bluntly.
“What’s wrong with a loss of tens of millions? No matter how big the loss is, you still have to bear it!”
“Ever since the beginning, we have stood on the weaker side, so we must be prepared to bear huge losses. Do you really think we’re picking money off the ground?”
While he was faced with the irritable Lord Alvarado, Jasper replied bluntly.
Lord Alvarado did not seem to expect that Jasper would use such a harsh tone to speak to him. After a while, he said, “You mean you’re not going to bother about the center in Waterhoof City anymore?”
“We are not sure what Quantum Fund will do yet, so we cannot give a response plan for the time being.”
“We have to plan before we take action with such a huge amount of funds. Otherwise, it will be easy to fall into the other party’s trap. If we lose the initiative, it will be difficult for us to get it back,” Jasper explained patiently.
“Jasper, if you don’t protect us at this time, it will also be difficult for you to recover if we lose too much,” Lord Alvarado said coldly.
Upon hearing these words, Jasper almost broke down.
“Lord Alvarado, it’s meaningless to say such a thing at this time. If you didn’t think of such a thing only to end up being caught by the opponent when you executed your cheap tricks in secret, do you think the opponent would have started attacking at this time?”
The little prince’s voice came from the phone.
“Jasper, you don’t need to be angry about this little thing. Since it has already happened, it will be meaningless to complain anymore. What we should do now is to find a way to remedy it and not to complain, right?”
The anger in Jasper’s chest slowly subsided and he said, “I will mobilize some funds to block the attacks for you and you will retreat as soon as possible.”
“Okay,” the little prince answered before hanging up.
After putting down the phone, Jasper returned the phone to Jake with a dark face and said, “Shift some funds to solve the problem in the center in Waterhoof City first.”
Jake shot Baz a look, and the latter went to work immediately.
Jake spoke carefully, “Mr. Laine, although on the surface, the problem is solved, it is inevitable that a scar will be left on both sides. If a similar situation occurs again in the future, I am afraid that it won’t be solved so easily.”
