Jasper froze when he heard his comment, but his temperament, which had been trained through the turbulence of the world, stopped him from showing any expression on his face. In addition to that, what happened had already passed, and moving toward the future was the key now.
The crippled Brown smiled and looked at Jasper. Then, he patted Jasper on the shoulder. The crippled Brown understood very well that a financial trade war would always be a war without gunpowder or smoke. Like all wars in the world, once the war began, the general public would suffer.
“We in Somerland are now trying out a new path, but no one knows what that path will look like. All we can do is to keep an eye on every level, including you, Jasper…”
Jasper did not understand. He frowned slightly, pondering the man’s words.
Why did the crippled Brown seem to want to protect him based on what he said? This matter was definitely not that simple.
“Did something happen?” Jasper asked.
The crippled Brown nodded. “There was a little interlude, but it didn’t matter much. They’re all clowns and buffoons, but Jasper, you know, you could lose the entire United States market.”
Jasper‘s frown deepened, suddenly remembering the scene of him meeting Soros in the morning. He said he wished for Jasper to have a good dream, but he should be waiting for this time to come.
The United States pursued individualism and attached great importance to money. Due to this, they would threaten the lives of anyone who were to touch their money.
“Wall Street is shutting you out.”
After hearing this news, Jasper was not surprised. He did not speak, but instead, he took out a teacup and poured a cup of tea for himself. “I expected that. After all, I did touch their cake. Since they’ve released this news, they’re just waiting for my attitude now.” Jasper said calmly.
Looking at Jasper‘s indifferent face, the crippled Brown chuckled and said, “The country is going to block you, yet you are not worried at all.”
Jasper spread his hands helplessly.
“I can’t do anything anyway. After all, that’s their court and I‘m not a glutton. Do you think I can devour them in one go? When I become really gluttonous in a few years time, then we won’t suffer that grievance anymore.” He said this very casually and with a half-smile on his face.
Jasper was not a fool, so of course, he could understand the intention of the man in front of him.
After all, the United States was now the strongest country in the world, and it was powerful in every aspect. On the other hand, Somerland was still a thriving teenager. There were still a lot of roads for them to venture into in the future. There was no need to confront others head-on right now.
“I understand what you mean. I’ll accept the negotiation. You guys should also be waiting for my answer, right?” Jasper said with a smile. He originally came here to thank the crippled Brown so, naturally, he would agree to this while he was at it.
“It’s not just your answer.”
Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded from behind Jasper. When he heard that voice, Jasper frowned slightly and looked back at her in surprise.
“You’re here too..?”
Celine raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Jasper. “Why can’t I be here? Can’t I congratulate you on your victory over in the United States stock market war?”
