Ch. 2221..2230

Life at the Top Chapter 2221-“I admit to everything. You can regard my goal and reason for approaching you as fake, but the days and nights we spent together and my feelings for you are true…”

Upon hearing this, Dawson wanted to say something but stopped himself several times, and finally, his words turned into sighs…

“Sigh… Actually, I could also tell. It’s just that I still had fantasies in my heart, and I didn’t want to wake up from the dream…” Dawson could separate right from wrong, and he must have experienced countless internal struggles.

It was just that he did not expect that this day would come without warning.

“Jasper, Wendy… You guys should deal with this. I’m old, I should live my life well and not trouble the young people…”

Dawson took off his white suit, turned, and walked away.

After seeing this situation, Wendy did not know what to do, and Jasper gave her a look.

“Go after him in case he does something stupid… I’ll take care of this.”

Wendy nodded and chased after Dawson, and Jasper then looked back at May again.

“You think you’re smart, don’t you? Do you think Bella, who is far across the ocean, will save you? To tell you the truth, she even wants to kill you now…”

May did not answer Jasper. She just stared at Dawson’s back, and there seemed to be some genuine emotion in her eyes.

“That classified document you shared contains a deadly computer virus that could lie dormant for three to five days, so do you now understand what you sent Bella?”

When Jasper said this, it finally dawned on May.

The meaning behind his words was as clear as day. May had sent a time bomb to Bella!

May slumped on the ground. She understood that she had lost everything. She had lost the love of a good man like Dawson and also the opportunity to continue working for Bella. Now, even her life was in danger.

Jasper looked at May and did not want to talk nonsense with her. In the adult world, there were not so many things which were clearly right or wrong. Some of them were merely a matter of perspective.

At the same time, in this world, there was no way to turn back time…

“Take her away,” Jasper said to Baz beside him, and then he called Wendy.

“Wendy, where are you? Is he okay?”

Wendy’s gentle voice soon sounded in his ears. “He’s fine. We are at home now.”

“Okay, I’ll be back soon!”

Jasper immediately drove back home. He was in a hurry as he feared that something might happen.

After returning, he found Wendy sitting on the sofa, and she was accompanying Dawson next to her.

Dawson was facing the window at this time. No one knew what was on his mind as they looked at his slightly lonely back.

“Wendy, are you okay?”

“Shh…”

When Wendy heard this, she immediately gestured to Jasper.

Unexpectedly, Dawson sighed again at this time. When he turned around, his complexion was indeed much better.

“It’s okay. Although I’m old, I’m not that fragile…” Dawson smiled, then looked at Jasper.

“I’m sorry, Jasper, I humiliated myself in front of you at this old age.”

Jasper immediately waved his hands and smiled, “Uncle, don’t say that. We are a family. Of course, I will treat my family with more care. I would not let anything happen to my family.”

Dawson nodded after hearing that, “Yes, I know that. You have always been responsible, that’s why I entrusted my daughter to you. That way I will be more at ease.”

Jasper smiled, but Wendy next to him immediately sensed something. “Dad, what do you mean by that?”

Life at the Top Chapter 2222-“It’s nothing. I remembered a dream when I was young. I want to go back to our old house in the mountains, start a farm, and live an unrestrained life with the person who I can spend the rest of my life with. Now that I think about it, I can do it alone too…”

It turned out that from the moment May’s false identity was exposed, Dawson had already formed this idea of retiring in his heart.

Before that, Dawson had never admitted that he was old. Otherwise, he would not go out and bring back May after being single for many years. Now, Dawson understood that he had to accept the fact he was old.

Wendy was naturally reluctant. “Dad, I have no objection if you want to start a farm, but isn‘t it the same if you stay here? You don’t have to go into the mountains to start a farm…”

“Besides, you are old, no one will take care of you after you go back, and the medical facilities there are not developed…”

Before Wendy finished speaking, she was interrupted by Jasper next to her.

“Alright, Wendy, I believe if Uncle is making this decision, it is not on a whim… All things go back to their source eventually at old age. Of course, I also know that you are concerned about Uncle… We just need to find time to go back and visit him.”

Jasper’s words reached the deepest part of Dawson’s heart.

After letting go of the company’s business, Dawson had been unable to find the meaning of his existence. The reason why he chose to return to his hometown in the countryside now was also to make his old age less lonely.

Wendy nodded in agreement when she saw Jasper persuading her.

“Well… Alright. I’ll pack your luggage for you, and I’ll personally arrange for someone to take you back…”

“There’s my good daughter and son-in-law!”

Seeing the smile on Dawson’s face again, Jasper and Wendy also felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.

That afternoon, after the family had their last meal, Dawson was sent back to his hometown in the countryside.

After sending the old man away, Wendy looked at the empty home and sighed helplessly.

“Why are you sighing?”

“What else could it be? After finally sending away that troublemaker May, I will be the only one left in the house…”

Wendy was clearly hiding another meaning in her words, but Jasper could only apologize to her.

“I’m sorry, Wendy, I have no choice but to go to Qari soon… But don’t worry, when I finish my work over there, I will definitely come back to reunite with you as soon as possible!”

Jasper stepped forward and held Wendy tightly in his arms.

Wendy also knew that she could not change this, so she could only quickly enjoy this fleeting tenderness.

***

The next day, Jasper was not in a hurry to leave. According to what he said, he had to wait for the bait to be harvested before he would leave.

At first, Wendy did not know what he meant, but soon the international news came into view.

“The statement jointly issued by international luxury giants has been deleted on the grounds that it is suspected of running a monopoly and is under investigation! The automakers in Munich are under investigation for allegedly engaging in unfair competition in the industry recently.”

After seeing this, Wendy looked at Jasper with a puzzled expression on her face.

“Did you do all of this?”

Jasper smiled and shook his head. “I can’t control the international situation. I just planted a seed in the early stages… Now it seems that it’s time to harvest!”

***

In Paulson’s office on the other side, a group of internationally renowned computer experts was so busy that their heads were spinning. It was because a Trojan Horse virus was discovered this morning on the computer in Paulson’s office!

This Trojan Horse virus was very vicious, and it soon invaded multiple networks tied this computer, causing a lot of trouble.

Life at the Top Chapter 2223-After a whole day of hard work, dozens of computer experts finally wiped out the computer virus completely.

“What the hell is going on? The computers in my office are equipped with the most advanced firewalls configured by the board of directors. How could they be infected with a Trojan virus?” Paulson looked puzzled, and the computer experts handed him a document before leaving.

“This is the result we detected while we got rid of the computer viruses. At present, the source of the computer virus should be from an international email from Somerland three days ago.”

When Paulson heard this, he looked at Bella in front of him, and immediately flew into a rage.

“Bella, how do you explain this?”

Bella’s face was dark. She understood that May must have fallen into the trap and was now dragging her down.

Paulson was seething, but the news that would shock him even more was yet to come. Soon he also got the international news and came to Bella with the newspaper.

“Look at this! Look! This is the brilliant decision you made earlier! You dragged them all into this mess, don’t you know that?!” Paulson roared hysterically.

Obviously, his behavior after flying into extreme anger made Bella feel even more uneasy.

“I said at the beginning that it was a very risky decision for you to arrange for someone to contact Jasper rashly, but you didn’t listen! Later, you believed in the so-called confidential documents and gave incorrect instructions. You should bear this consequence!”

“Do you know how much damage this has caused to the Rothschilds?”

Bella had nothing to say in response to Paulson’s accusation.

The reason why Bella was able to give orders to these major industry giants immediately after seeing the so-called confidential documents was simply that she was the eldest daughter of the Rothschild family.

And because of the prestige accumulated by her predecessors for the family, her words were like an imperial edict. However, Bella dared not continue to think about the impact on her now.

Paulson sighed helplessly. Even if he was extremely reluctant, he could only choose to stay and clean up the mess Bella caused him. The international news of Bella’s defeat quickly reached Jasper.

Although the computer virus was quickly resolved, and these losses were not a fatal blow to the Rothschild family, Jasper’s attitude and position were virtually showcased in such a counterattack.

Anyone who dared to provoke Jasper, even if they were far away across the ocean, would suffer his vengeance. If they did not cross him, he would not cross them. However, if they did cross him, Jasper would show them the meaning of thunderous fury.

***

Early the next morning, Jasper bid farewell to Wendy and went to Nauritus City Airport by himself.

In this operation, Jasper was setting off alone, and the journey was somewhat dangerous.

Jasper called Julian ahead of time.

Julian had bad news for Jasper.

“Jasper, I’m afraid you won’t be able to take a direct flight to Qari this time.”

“Why?”

Jasper did not understand. After all, he did not see any news on the international news.

“Of course, there is no news. This is a scandal in Qari. They have been suppressing the news this whole time.”

Julian told Jasper that there was a large-scale armed riot in Bashra, and there were countless local casualties. It was said that a group of terrorists attacked the airport and wanted to steal some cargo from it.

Such behavior caused Bashra’s airport to be severely damaged and forced it to close.

“I see… I guess I can’t fly there directly now.”

Life at the Top Chapter 2224-Bashra was the final destination of Jasper’s operation.

Rowan’s uncle or Baltimore Kurt’s family, who he had contacted and met before, were all in Bashra.

“So what do I do now?” Jasper asked.

“Jasper, listen to me, you should immediately change your ticket to Najef, a small town nearby, and when you arrive, I will go and meet you.”

“No problem. Thank you for your hard work!”

After Jasper hung up, the overhead report from the airport quickly confirmed Julian’s statement.

The airport notified everyone currently traveling to Qari about the cancellation of their flight. Each of them showed a distressed expression, but Jasper, who was notified in advance, knew how to solve it.

“Mr. Laine, how may I help you?” Jasper’s flight attendant for his chartered flight asked beside him.

“Change my destination, I’m going to Najef.”

“Okay, Mr. Laine.”

At this moment, Jasper did not notice a man wearing sunglasses next to him. This guy had been following Jasper.

At this time, he took out his mobile phone and quietly sent a text message.

“Miss Bella, Jasper changed his destination to Najef.”

“Okay.”

After sending this text message, Bella had a sneer on her face.

“Damn you, Jasper. I’d like to see how you’ll fight me now that you don’t have Somerland’s protection!”

“Pass down my order and immediately find out Jasper’s relationship network in Qari! I want all these guys to know what kind of risk they will have for having close contact with Jasper!”

“Roger that!”

Jasper had no idea about all of this. He was soon on a plane to Najef.

The international flight would take a long time, so Jasper fell into a drowsy sleep as soon as he got on the plane.

Not knowing how long he slept, Jasper glanced out the window after waking up. Their plane was still passing through the clouds, and the flight attendant on the chartered plane walked past him.

“Excuse me, how much longer to Najef Airport?”

“Mr. Laine, please wait patiently. We will land in half an hour.”

Jasper breathed a sigh of relief, the remaining half hour would be easier to get by. He had slept for the entire journey, so his body was a little stiff. He planned to go to the restroom and exercise his body while he was at it.

It was very peaceful along the way.

The plane landed at Najef Airport. After getting off, Jasper looked around and saw that it was really desolate. He wanted to contact Julian, but when he picked up his phone, he found that there was no signal.

‘Oops, I forgot to register for international roaming.’

It was a little too late for Jasper to remember it now and he was a little annoyed that he would make such careless mistakes. However, since Jasper did not want others to know about the operation this time, no one around him reminded him of these things.

He could not contact Julian now, and he was somewhat anxious.

Fortunately, Jasper saw that there was staff at the airport making arrangements for other people. He went up to ask and found out that there was an airport bus going directly to downtown Najef.

Jasper felt that it would not be too late to contact Julian after he got to the city. After all, this place was deserted, and it would not be easy for Julian to come here.

Jasper immediately got on the bus to downtown Najef. He did not notice that the man with sunglasses was also on the seat at the back of the bus.

The bus started noisily, and due to the language barrier, Jasper did not even ask how long it would take to go to the city before he sat down on the seat to rest his eyes.

Suddenly, Jasper heard a bang and opened his eyes suddenly.

‘Huh? Where did the gunshot come from?’

Life at the Top Chapter 2225-Jasper turned his head and looked out the window.

There were several off-road vehicles parked outside and all of them were armed terrorists. These guys stopped the bus. Clearly, they came with a purpose.

Soon, Jasper saw the robbers getting into the bus.

The other party was not considered vicious. He took out a bag, and the people in front threw their wallets and other valuables into it.

Soon it was Jasper’s turn, and he had brought tens of thousands in local currency with him, just in case.

After Jasper threw the money in, the other party was still relentless.

“This? No, I can’t give you this.”

Jasper understood the other party’s hand gestures. It turned out that he had taken a fancy to his mobile phone.

For Jasper, this phone stored many of his important contacts and information, which was essential to him. Hence, Jasper would not hand over the phone. However, the choice was not his, and soon the robber lost his patience.

His companion rushed over, holding a black pistol in his hand.

When the robber was about to point the gun at Jasper, the bus suddenly moved!

It turned out that the driver, who was eager to survive, caught the robbers off-guard and immediately slammed down on the accelerator to break through the barrier. This frightened the robbers, and they rushed to snatch the steering wheel.

Jasper hurried back and sat down, fastened his seat belt, and put his phone in his pocket.

As soon as he finished, he found that the whole bus lost its balance and had fallen to the ground before sliding a long way forward.

It was obvious that both sides lost out after fighting for the steering wheel, and now it caused an accident on the road.

Jasper felt as if he had been thrown unconscious. After he recovered, he looked at the seriously injured passengers who were staggering around.

He could only sigh and thank the seat belt for saving his life.

He barely unbuckled his seat belt. Just as he climbed out of the window, he immediately heard off-road vehicles roaring from behind.

Seeing this situation, Jasper knew that this were the robber’s companions.

The off-road vehicles stopped abruptly, and the robbers’ companions came up to check the situation to find their companions had died in the accident.

At this moment, the rest of the robbers were furious. They started to take out their guns one by one, obviously not intending to let everyone on the bus go.

Jasper held his breath, listening to the gunshots and footsteps getting closer. He could not sit still and wait for death, so he had find a solution.

Just when Jasper was about to escape, he heard another off-road vehicle emergency braking outside the bus. Then, there was a burst of crackling gunshots, and there was no more movement outside.

Jasper had no idea what was going on outside, so he could only continue to wait patiently. Fortunately, not long after, Jasper heard a familiar voice.

“Jasper, are you in there?”

It was Julian’s voice!

“I’m here!”

Julian immediately brought someone over and knelt down directly. “Jasper, thank God I came just in time! Otherwise, I’d have to kill myself to repent for my sins!”

“Don’t say that. It was not easy for you to arrive in the nick of time…” Jasper glanced at the surviving passengers around him.

“What about these people? Is there a way to save them?”

Seeing this, Julian nodded. “Sure, but Jasper, there are too few of us and we don’t have the ability. I‘ll send someone to contact the nearby police and rescue team immediately.”

Julian immediately arranged for the people next to him to get in touch.

Jasper patted the dust off his body at this time, and only then did he understand what it was like to get a new lease on life.

He turned to Julian and asked, “By the way, how did you catch up to me?”

“I estimated the time when your plane landed, Jasper. When I arrived at the airport, I found no one there. I asked someone to check the surveillance, and after I learned you got on the bus, I knew something might go wrong.”

Jasper smiled and nodded after he heard that.

He was a little helpless. “Qari is not peaceful at all.”

Life at the Top Chapter 2226-ian were also searching for survivors in the car.

Soon, a tied-up man was delivered to Jasper and Julian.

“You… Why did you arrest me? Aren’t you here to save the people?”

The person who was caught was still quibbling, but an imposing man standing behind him did not listen to him at all.

“Hmph, you still want to pretend? Tell us, what are you doing here?” The imposing man roared loudly.

After the imposing man finished speaking, Julian next to him dropped the bomb. “It doesn’ t matter if you don’t tell me. I was the one who contacted the rescue team, and the number of people they can save at one time is limited. If you don’t tell the truth, then you can stay here and spend the night with the jackals.”

As soon as Julian said that, the tied-up man no longer dared to quibble and quickly told the truth.

“I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything. Please, don’t abandon me…”

Gibby told them everything, and Jasper’s face immediately darkened when he heard it.

“You followed me all the way from the airport? Bella is so quick to act…” Jasper sighed.

Fortunately, he was alert enough on the road and Julian’s rescue also came just in time. Otherwise, he might have lost his life.

“How can we be sure that what you say is the truth?” Julian pressed again, and Gibby was obviously angry too.

“I-I’m only responsible for tracking Jasper and telling Miss Bella his location. Who would have thought that the person Miss Bella contacted would also refuse to spare me?! I don’t want to do this anymore, I want to go home!”

Seeing the urge to survive on Gibby’s face, Jasper naturally expressed his understanding.

“I have to say, this Bella person is really ruthless. As expected of the daughter of that family. Then let me ask you, what else do you know?” Jasper asked.

“I really don’t know the rest. I’m just a lackey, otherwise, she would care about my life…”

Gibby kept begging for mercy, and Jasper figured he was telling the truth.

Just to be on the safe side, Julian asked Gibby to take out his phone and smashed it to pieces in front of him.

“We can spare your life, but it’s up to you how you get back to Najaf,” Julian said indifferently.

Julian did not like the man who nearly put Jasper’s life in danger. Coincidentally, the rescue convoy arrived, but there were still no policemen.

Jasper got into the car and left with the convoy, leaving behind Gibby, who was at a loss.

After getting in the car, Jasper looked at his side, and there were two unfamiliar faces.

“Who are they?” Jasper asked.

“They were the robbers we found in another car. They probably passed out in the car accident. I took them with me since there were empty seats in the car. If we wake them up, maybe we can pry some information from them.”

It was clear that Julian was used to dealing with these people, so he was quite experienced.

Jasper and the others finally arrived in the city an hour later. Although the economic level here seemed to be equivalent to a small county in Somerland at most, it was enough for Jasper.

He did not want to think about anything now, he just wanted to have a good meal and sleep.

Julian took Jasper to a local hospital for a checkup. Fortunately, the doctor told him that Jasper was fine, but he suffered some trauma during the car accident so he needed to rest more.

“Jasper, you should rest. I’m here. We’ll leave when you have enough rest.”

Life at the Top Chapter 2227-Jasper nodded and went back to the room after eating. He did not know how long he had slept this time, but when he woke up, it was still daytime.

“You’re awake, Jasper. It’s the second day now,” Julian said from the side.

Jasper nodded, it seemed that he was indeed exhausted.

After a simple meal, Jasper and Julian came to the hospital and saw the two robbers lying on the hospital bed.

Outside the ward, many Qari local policemen were standing around.

After learning more about it, Jasper found that these guys were just a small team. They were ordered to stop a bus and kill everyone on it.

Jasper knew that the reason why Bella gave this order was that he was on the bus. However, Jasper lamented how Bella rather killed a thousand by mistake than let him go. Moreover, they had another team that intended to burn down a small oil field.

After they stopped the bus and completed their task, they would reunite with their main team.

Everyone in the world knew that Qari had the second-largest oil reserves in the world. Nowhere, except the Saad Region in the west, had more oil. However, the oil distribution here in Qari was not the same as that in Saad Region.

The oil in the Saad Region was distributed in large areas, but the oil distribution here in Qari was scattered all over the place. Besides certain large oil fields, the oil fields in Qari were basically controlled by local oil tycoons.

Those scattered small oil fields were located in remote areas, and those tycoons were not interested in them, so those oil fields had become targets of competition for the locals.

Everyone would make the best use of local resources. This place was rich in oil resources, and it was quite normal that there would be direct and indirect conflicts over this.

“What’s next, Jasper?” Julian asked.

What Jasper actually wanted to do the most was to meet Baltimore from the Kurt family. However, to be on the safe side, Jasper chose to settle for the next best thing.

“Forget it, I’ll call Rowan’s uncle first.”

Before Jasper left, Rowan gave him his uncle’s contact information. But, when Jasper took out his phone, he looked down and found that he had no signal.

“How did I forget such an important thing? Jasper, this is for you.”

When Jasper saw the mobile phone that Julian handed over, he took it and used it without hesitation.

The call went through very soon and Jasper heard a middle-aged man’s voice.

“Hello? Who’s this?”

“Mr. Jefferson, hello. My name is Jasper Laine and I’m in Najef, Qari now. I wonder if you’re free now?”

Jasper was very polite. Rowan’s uncle was named Saul Jefferson, a well-known businessman in the local area.

“Jasper! That brat Rowan has mentioned you to me many times! He has always been very grateful to you for cultivating and promoting him. So, I will definitely treat you well this time you are coming to Qari!”

From that, it was not difficult to see that Saul was also someone who knew how to repay others’ kindness.

“By the way, there’s been some conflict around Bashra recently. Do you have a way to get here from Najef? Do you need me to pick you up?”

Saul also seemed very enthusiastic. Jasper smiled and said, “No need, Mr. Jefferson, I can go there by myself.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you in Bashra!”

After hanging up the phone, Jasper said to Julian, “It sounds like Rowan’s uncle is quite reliable. I’ll know if he’s a trustworthy person if I see him in person.”

Julian did not speak. He just carried out Jasper’s order and had no other thoughts.

Life at the Top Chapter 2228-“Get in the car, Jasper.”

Jasper got on the off-road vehicle, and Julian started the long journey with his small convoy.

The whole journey from Najef to Bashra was more than 200 kilometers, and it usually took about three hours.

“By the way, Where did these people come from?”

“Judging from their skin color, I don’t think they’re from Somerland?” Jasper asked.

Julian knew what Jasper was thinking, and he began to introduce them one by one.

“Jasper, you don’t have to worry. Although these people are not from Somerland, they can be regarded as a group of qualified mercenaries who have passed my assessment. Compared with them, they have been in Qari all year round and they often fight terrorists, so they are more experienced.”

Jasper nodded thoughtfully, and Julian lowered his voice and whispered in his ear.

“Jasper, Mr. McNeal called me. It probably means that he has his own arrangements. I will be responsible for your protection during the daytime, but during critical moments, their people will take action. Maybe it will become a life-saving straw for you and me at critical moments.”

After hearing this, Jasper naturally understood. Sure enough, the fewer people knew, the better.

He felt more at ease and said with a smile, “By the way, since you have adapted to this so quickly, why don’t you find an exotic beauty?”

Jasper raised his eyebrows on purpose.

Julian scratched his head and said, “Jasper, don’t play with me. I’m interested in those things, but there is still someone at home waiting for me to go back.”

Jasper laughed out loud and patted Julian on the shoulder.

As the two chatted, the team got closer and closer to Bashra.

***

On the other side, Bella had already arrived in Bashra by military plane.

She was surrounded by heavily armed soldiers at this time, and there was a huge military map in front of her. The airfield in Bashra was marked on it.

Obviously, the airport riots that Jasper heard about when he planned to fly directly to Bashra domestically were arranged deliberately by Bella.

Her viciousness was just as Julian expected. Bella wanted to get rid of Jasper by any means!

Bella’s initial plan was to prevent Jasper from using the main road and drive him to the small road. As long as Jasper deviated from the established direction, Bella could do whatever she wanted along the way. However, seven or eight hours had passed since the person she arranged to set off.

Bella had not gotten any updates yet, so obviously, something had happened.

“What’s going on? Where are those people who received the mission earlier?”

“I’m sorry, Miss Bella, I’ll arrange for someone to contact them right away!”

These people at the scene naturally respected and hated Bella.

They were in awe of was Bella’s superior status. When Bella was here, even their senior generals would have to lower themselves for her. However, they naturally did not want to listen to the commands of Bella, an outsider.

For example, the plan of intercepting Jasper halfway to kill him.

All of this was planned by Bella alone, and she rejected the people around her when they suggested that they should investigate further first.

Bella felt that if they investigated first, she would miss the opportunity, so she might as well just take action. Now that the people who went on this mission had disappeared, the experienced ones knew that they were all probably dead.

Sure enough, Bella received a notification an hour later.

“What? I arranged for twenty people to participate, but they still couldn’t kill Jasper? Were you holding a gun or a fire stick? What a bunch of idiots!”

Life at the Top Chapter 2229-At this time, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside. A man in a brown leather jacket and sunglasses walked in.

As soon as he came in, he smiled and said, “What’s the matter? Who offended our beloved Miss Bella?”

Bella turned her head when she heard this and glared at the man with resentful eyes.

“Yves, you still have the nerve to say that? I chose to cooperate with you in the beginning because of the fame of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries… I didn’t expect that after I came here, I found that you are just a bunch of useless good-for-nothings after a field inspection.”

“I want to notify the Rothschilds to suspend our cooperation with you!”

Upon hearing this, Yves Louis became restless.

In reality, as the deputy leader of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries, he had long been impatient with Bella. Although this annoying woman had only been here for a day, she was the eldest daughter of the Rothschilds.

Bella’s demeanor as a noble lady always made people feel that they were inferior to her.

It was a rare opportunity for the Sky Wolves Mercenaries to cooperate with the world’s top forces. The team leader said that Bella, who was coming, was a cash cow. He also said that he could live without anyone in the Sky Wolves Mercenaries, but not without Bella!

Yves kept these words in mind, so he stood up immediately.

“Calm down, Miss Bella. I can understand your desire for revenge, but the situation here in Qari is very complicated… And according to the intelligence we gathered, there are obviously people around Jasper who are protecting him. As long as we make a good plan for the next operation and eliminate hidden dangers, we will definitely be able to get him!”

Yves understood that logic could convince, but only emotion could motivate. Finally, he managed to calm Bella down.

“Then tell me, what shall we do next?”

These words naturally exposed that Bella had no military command ability at all. The so-called interception and assassination operation she directed before all relied on her temper.

At this time, Bella saw that the operation failed, so she could only turn to Yves for help. Yves was also relieved when he heard this.

Yves understood that if this pampered young lady did not suffer a bit, people like himself would never have the right to speak up. Moreover, only when Bella realized the strength of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries would their value rise. This was Yves’ ultimate goal.

Compared with that, what was the sacrifice of the lives of a few mercenaries from the Sky Wolves Mercenaries?

Yves grabbed the military map at this time and tapped on the several locations that had been circled before.

“Don’t worry, Miss Bella. Remember the second step of the plan we discussed at the beginning?”

“Since Jasper is protected by someone, I don’t think the people who contact him will also have the same protection, right?”

Bella looked at Yves’ finger and the map showed several scattered small oil fields.

“They’re just a few small oil fields, what do you want to do with them?” Bella snorted lightly.

Then, Yves replied, “The owner of this oil field has a very important relationship with Jasper.”

Yves took out all the information regarding the owner of the oil field and explained all his plans to Bella.

After reading the information and listening to Yves’ plan, it all dawned on Bella. At the same time, she recognized the ability of Yves, the deputy leader.

Life at the Top Chapter 2230-On the desolate desert was a speeding convoy.

Jasper glanced at the familiar yellow sand outside the window and asked helplessly, “Are we not at Bashra yet?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Julian pointed forward and said, “We’re here, Jasper. Look…”

Looking forward in the direction of Julian’s finger, Jasper did see a city rising from the plain. Even if it was just outside the city, it was still much more prosperous than Najaf.

Jasper also said with a smile on his face, “Is this Bashra? Not bad. No wonder so many people gather here.”

Jasper knew that not only Saul was in Bashra, but Baltimore Kurt and his family were also here.

If this place were not rich in oil resources, how could it accommodate a big shot like Baltimore?

Jasper was somewhat worried when he entered the city. After all, he had also heard about the riots at Bashra Airport. Fortunately, the group was able to enter the city smoothly in the end, and Jasper realized this place was not affected by the riot at the airport.

Jasper immediately called Saul.

“Mr. Jefferson, I just entered Bashra, how can I find you?”

Saul seemed delighted to receive Jasper’s call. “Just stay at the gate of the city. I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up right away!”

About ten minutes later, Jasper saw a black Benz coming in front of him.

“Are you Mr. Jasper Laine?”

“Yes, you are…”

“I am the person instructed by Mr. Jefferson, please follow me. ”

Then, the Benz turned around and took the lead, bringing Jasper and others to the center of the city.

Looking at the exotic architecture along the street, Jasper could not help feeling a little impulsive. If he could get some oil resources on this piece of land, it would definitely be of great help to his career. It was even possible for Somerland to enjoy dividends with him.

In short, Jasper’s primary purpose was to prevent people from the United States from coming here and riding roughshod over people. Even if he could not enjoy it himself, he could not let others take advantage of it.

Soon, Jasper saw the Benz parked in front of a luxury hotel.

“Mr. Jasper, here we are. Mr. Jefferson is waiting for you inside.”

Jasper and Julian hurriedly got out of the car and were finally taken by this person to the reception hall inside the hotel.

After pushing the door open, Jasper saw a middle-aged man standing by the window. When the other party heard the noise, he turned his head to reveal a kind smile on his face.

“You should be Mr. Jasper Laine, whom Rowan often mentions, right? How young and promising!”

Jasper immediately responded with a smile, “Mr. Jefferson, you are too kind. From the looks of it, do you own this hotel?”

Saul looked very humble at this moment.

He slightly waved his hand and said, “That’s right. I gained some small fame here. Since I came here early, I’ve accumulated some wealth over the years. It’s nothing much… Let’s not talk about this for now. Come, I will take you to the next door to give you a proper welcome.”

Saul brought Jasper and Julian to the nearby restaurant, and Jasper saw that the other party had prepared a table full of good wine and food. Both sides were straightforward, so Jasper and the others sat down and started chatting while eating.

After chatting with Saul, Jasper finally understood what Saul meant by accumulating a little wealth.
