Ch. 2231..2240

Life at the Top Chapter 2231-This luxury hotel in front of him was not Saul’s only property in the entire city of Bashra.One could say that his industry covered culinary and entertainment, and it was not small at all. At the same time, due to Saul’s generosity and righteousness in the local area, he was given the nickname Saint Saul. Even Jasper had to lament at this moment.“I didn’t expect Mr. Jefferson to be such a legendary figure in the local area… It seems that Rowan was right when he said that I should come to Qari to find you!”After Jasper finished speaking, Saul also smiled slightly. “You’re too kind. Since you are the same generation as my nephew Rowan, how about I call you by name?”“Of course, it sounds friendlier this way.”Jasper did not care about this at all, and Saul finally asked the key question after he had drunk and eaten enough.“By the way, Jasper, I’ve always been a little puzzled… Somerland is so peaceful. Why did you leave such a good environment and specifically come here to do business?”Jasper was unambiguous facing Saul’s question.“Actually, I don’t intend to hide it from you. I’m eyeing Qari’s oil business.”As soon as he said that, Saul realized that he had underestimated Jasper in front of him.Saul also met many merchants in the city of Bashra. There were only a handful of people like Jasper who claimed that they wanted to get involved in the oil business. If such a person were not a real business genius, he would either need to have strong funds and confidence, or he was a liar.Rowan trusted Jasper a lot, so obviously, Jasper was in the former.Even so, Saul was very experienced, so he said, “Oil business? Amazing! But, Jasper, there are only a handful of oil businesses in Qari that are allowed to get their hands on… I am one of them, so you have found the right person.”As soon as Saul said that, Jasper froze for a moment. Because this entire time he could not tell that Saul also had connections with the local oil business.“Mr. Jefferson, are you also involved in the oil business?”“Yes, to be honest, although I have a certain status in the local consumer service industry, you are also aware of the environment in Qari. There are always occasional riots, and I was also very distressed… Thus, I stumbled upon the oil business by chance,” Saul told Jasper that his involvement in the oil business was purely accidental.About five years ago, a local came to Saul’s hotel. In the beginning, this person stayed and dined in this hotel, and he seemed to be quite normal. Moreover, he would spend a lot of money every day. Hence, based on Saul’s keenness as a businessman, he asked his staff to keep a close eye on this man.About half a month later, something happened. He could no longer spend as much money as before, and in the end, he could not even pay the bill.Unlike other money-grubbing bosses, Saul did not drive him away immediately, but instead, he called him over for a meal and a heart-to-heart talk.Through this meal, Saul learned that the person in front of him was named Giovanni, and he was also a local businessman. In the past, the reason why Giovanni was generous was that he had an oil field under his name. Although the oil field was small, it produced oil that made him worth a lot of money.Unfortunately, something happened in the oil field half a month ago, and his investment in other fields failed, resulting in a large amount of his equity being embezzled. Giovanni would soon go bankrupt if this continued.Life at the Top Chapter 2232-Saul keenly sensed that this was an opportunity since he had a lot of spare money anyway.Because of Saul’s in-depth cultivation in various culinary and entertainment projects over the years, he was also worth a lot of money. Yet, the environment of Bashra or other places in Qari had been like this since ancient times.Saul did not want to continue throwing money at this industry, lest he lose it in the event of a war or terrorist attack.Seeing such a decadent Giovanni, Saul felt that his opportunity had come. Thus, Saul told Giovanni that he could use his money to help Giovanni get back his equity. However, Saul had only one condition, and that was to cooperate with Giovanni!Giovanni had no hope at first. He had planned to commit suicide by swallowing sleeping pills after confiding in the hotel owner in front of him. However, he did not expect Saul to say these words. Giovanni had lost all confidence in his relatives and friends because of money.It was cooperation anyway, so Giovanni felt that he might as well trust the hotel owner in front of him. So, the two hit it off and signed a cooperation contract the next day.Relying on Saul’s large amount of cash flow, Giovanni managed to get the oil field back into his hands again after some operations. This time, Giovanni got rid of all the shareholders, and finally only wrote his own name and Saul’s name on the ownership of the oil field.After listening to Saul’s story, Jasper could not help sighing.“I didn’t expect that you, Mr. Jefferson, would get involved in the oil field step by step through your own hard work as a foreigner. I really admire you!”Saul also smiled heartily. He then picked up the wine glass and finished his drink. “Don’t make fun of me. In fact, I don’t know anything about the oil industry… I was just lucky, and I saved a person who knows how to reciprocate kindness…”“You also said that you want to enter the oil industry. What are your plans now?”When Jasper heard this, his eyes gradually became serious.“When I was in Somerland, I met the current head of the Kurt family, Baltimore… This time I came here to find him for cooperation. Speaking of which, it’s also thanks to Rowan and you!”After Jasper finished speaking, there was still a smile on his face.Instead, Saul, who was sitting across the table, had a stiff smile. “Um… I wonder what Baltimore told you that day. ”“It’s nothing. I just analyzed the current situation in the world with Baltimore. Baltimore is obviously a patriotic guy and we hit it off, so in the end, the two of us decided to work together.”Saul could not help reminding Jasper after hearing him speaking so calmly. “Don’t blame me for not reminding you, Baltimore is not only famous in the local area but he’s also famous for his weird temper.“Besides, this guy is famous for being a renege. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to meet him so bluntly…”After hearing this, Jasper did not quite understand. “A renege? Can you explain fuerther, Mr. Jefferson?”Saul drank another glass of wine before talking.He told Jasper that the Kurt family was one of the top five oil families in Qari. The oil fields owned by their family were very enviable in both quantity and quality. Therefore, it also attracted many people to come here for cooperation.Whenever they were talking about cooperation, the people from the Kurt family would be very enthusiastic. No matter what the partners asked, they would agree. However, although the promises were made quickly at the negotiating table, they would all change during the actual execution.Life at the Top Chapter 2233-Those who came to seek cooperation found that the Kurt family often said one thing and did another. One would suffer if they trusted the Kurt family’s words.“That’s why they are called the renege family,” Saul explained it in detail, and Jasper understood.The main reason why the Kurt family was called reneges was that they prioritize interest.Whenever there was a case of successful cooperation among the examples given by Saul, there would be mutual generosity and benefit for both parties.On the contrary, the failed cases were basically those who came to seek cooperation but could not bring profit to the Kurt family. Therefore, the Kurt family would become as stingy as a miser.To sum it up in one sentence, the Kurt family could generally see the strength of partners. They would be very happy to cooperate with those who were capable.On the other hand, the Kurt family would promise a lot of things for those without strength but still came to put on airs before ignoring them. Even Jasper thought it made sense after hearing it, and at the same time, he felt that this matter was quite difficult to deal with.“It seems that people from the Kurt family are those who won’t act before they are sure to succeed,” Jasper said with a smile.“Don‘t worry, Mr. Jefferson. We will see if the Kurt family is willing to cooperate with me tomorrow!”Jasper, on the other hand, seemed more forthright and did not split hairs with this issue all the time.He drank a lot with Saul, and it was obvious that Saul was quite happy to see people from his motherland since it had been a while.***After Jasper got up the next day, he saw that it was past nine o’clock the next day. He did not even know how he got into bed last night. However, when he spotted Julian standing near the door, he knew it must be all thanks to him.“Jasper, you’re awake. You drank a lot yesterday. I’m worried that you won’t be able to wake up.”Julian heard some movements and entered the room to see Jasper walking up. Jasper had an apologetic look on his face.“Julian, thank you for taking care of me last night. Let‘s not talk about that for now. Get dressed. We should get down to business.”After Jasper got up, he washed up and had breakfast.When he was done, Julian already had a car waiting. They did not see Saul in the hotel.It was estimated that since Saul was old, he could not get up after drinking too much and was still in a hangover. However, even though Saul was not yet awake, he still did not forget to help Jasper.There was a map left here at the front desk, which showed the main location of the Kurt family and the distribution of oil fields in detail When Jasper saw the level of detail, Jasper felt it was a pity that Saul was not a spy.“Since he has pointed out the way for us, let’s go!” Jasper waved his hand, and Julian drove him straight to his destination.While waiting on the road, Jasper quickly sensed that Saul’s words had come true.He took out his cell phone and found the number that Baltimore had left for him earlier.After trying several times in a row, Jasper found that he could not get through to the phone number at all.“Strange, could it be that I remembered it wrong? This is quite unlikely.”Jasper would not make a mistake on such a small matter, so the problem could only be Baltimore.While waiting for the traffic lights before leaving the city, Julian glanced at the number and sensed something immediately.“There is a problem with this number, Jasper. You don‘t need to call anymore, the phone number here is fourteen digits.”After hearing Julian’s reminder, Jasper counted carefully and found that the number he got only had thirteen digits.“This cunning Baltimore, I didn’t expect him to give me a show of prestige so early!” Jasper muttered to himself, and Julian turned to look at him now.The meaning in his eyes was obvious, he was asking Jasper what they should do next.“Why are you looking at me? I must go and see how difficult it is to visit the Kurt family unless pigs suddenly start flying!”Life at the Top Chapter 2234-Jasper would never admit defeat. If he were so easily intimidated by this, then Jasper would not be able to make it to where he was today.Following the marks on the map, they soon came to the other side of Bashra.There was an oil comp any belonging to the Kurt family here, and it should be a family business.Jasper walked in, went to the front desk, and took out the business card that Baltimore gave him earlier. He did not expect to see Baltimore here. However, Jasper would consider it a success if the Kurt family would respond to him.It was a pity that Jasper was obviously too naive. He was just courteously taken to the reception area by the front desk and after that, no one paid attention to him again.After realizing he had been sidelined, Jasper did not waste any more time. He put away his business card and went outside the company.“Jasper, what now? Are we going back?” Julian asked tentatively, and Jasper quickly shook his head.“No, we can still visit their oil fields. Perhaps Baltimore is there.”Jasper felt that if Baltimore was a man of action, there would be a greater chance of running into him there. Therefore, Julian did not hesitate anymore, and immediately drove Jasper to the oil field.The oil fields distributed near Bashra were located on the outskirts of the city. Their distance from the urban area was not the only criterion. Because no matter how far the distance was, as long as the output of the oilfield was large and of high-quality, they could even build a city around it.After about half an hour’s drive, Jasper and Julian approached the oil field.Here, they saw heavily armed security personnel. The entire oilfield looked like an impregnable castle.Jasper could not help admiring it after seeing it. On the contrary, Julian had a serious expression.“Have you ever seen something like this before?” Jasper asked.“Yes, but it’s my first time seeing it at an oil field. Jasper, you have to be careful,” Julian said solemnly.“It’s okay, we are here to do business, so don’t be nervous!”Jasper believed that as long as they did not show hostility, the other party would not do anything reckless as well. Sure enough, after their car was pulled over, Jasper immediately took out the business card Baltimore gave him.The other party gave Jasper a meaningful look and asked them to wait a moment.About ten minutes later, a man in a suit came out.“Which one of you wants to see Mr. Baltimore?”“It’s me. My name is Jasper Laine and I’m here to discuss a partnership with Mr. Baltimore. We talked before, and this time I made a special trip to come see him.”Jasper seemed very polite, and the other party was also very courteous.“I’m the manager here. This is an industrial area, so it’s not suitable for guests. Please come with me…”Soon, the manager brought Jasper and Julian to one of the most luxurious restaurants nearby. Although this restaurant was not comparable to the one in Bashra, it was already considered high-end in the industrial area.“Please wait here, Sirs. As soon as Mr. Baltimore comes back, I will notify you immediately.”“Okay, thanks!”The manager then turned and left.Lunchtime soon arrived as they waited in boredom.Jasper ordered a lot of food and was going to try some local specialties. After the two of them finished eating, the manager still did not return.Julian could not take it anymore and stood up immediately. “Jasper, why don’t I go and have a look?”Before Jasper could speak, the owner of the restaurant spoke.“I think you two should go back, you have been tricked!”Upon hearing this, Jasper knew that the owner of the restaurant knew the inside story.“Boss, why did you say that?”Life at the Top Chapter 2235-The boss continued, “It‘s very simple. I am very familiar with the people here. Usually, when they encounter any business proposals they don‘t want to entertain, they will bring the guests to my restaurant. So, you were eliminated from the game right from the start, understand?”Upon hearing this, Jasper smiled faintly. “The Kurt family is pretty interesting…”However, Jasper would be lying if he said he was not mad after he was fooled multiple times.At this time, Julian said from the side, “Jasper, why don‘t we go back first?”“Yeah, alright.” Jasper nodded.However, just when Jasper and Julian were about to leave, they suddenly found that the door of the restaurant was closedThis alerted Julian instantly. “Boss, why did you close the door suddenly?”Julian’s hand was reaching for his waist.Just when the two sides were about to take action, the restaurant owner walked over slowly and took out a photo.“You two, don’t be nervous. Are you the person in this photo?”Jasper leaned forward to take a look, and the person in the photo was indeed him. Moreover, judging from the photo, this is obviously a group photo taken by Baltimore when he met Jasper for the first time.Jasper also had a similar photo. The other party left this and the business card specially for him. Due to this, Jasper was very curious about the identity of the restaurant owner at this time. He did not expect that the other party to have this photo.“How did you get this photo?”When he heard Jasper’s question, the restaurant owner laughed out loud and then confessed.“I didn’t expect this. Baltimore managed to wait for his savior!”“What do you mean?” Jasper continued to ask.“Before you came, the Kurt family faced a coup, and the second son, Kimbra, successfully seized power. Now, the whereabouts of the original patriarch Baltimore and the eldest son Robbins is unknown… Fortunately, the night before the incident, Baltimore approached me for a drink to vent. He even left this photo.”The restaurant owner told Jasper that Baltimore Kurt seemed to have the ability to see into the future that night, and he kept thinking that something bad might happen to him tomorrow.He came to the restaurant and praised the good business there. However, the boss said that the restaurant’s business was nothing compared to the Kurt family’s oil field.Baltimore told the boss with a smile that it was only an illusion seen by outsiders. In reality, only he knew how many crises he had to experience every day.Halfway through the drink, Baltimore took out this photo and chatted with the restaurant owner about Jasper, whom he had only met once. He told the restaurant owner that he chose to cooperate with Jasper because he found Jasper very similar to his young self from their conversation.Back then, he relied on such eloquence and meticulous thinking to grow the oil field business. Then, Baltimore put the photo on the table and told the boss.“If something bad happens to me tomorrow, I‘m afraid only the person in the photo can, and will be willing, to save me. You have to do me this favor!”The owner of the restaurant was named Hadley, and he had been able to run the restaurant safely all these years thanks to Baltimore’s care. Furthermore, Hadley thought Baltimore was just drunk and joking, so he agreed.Unexpectedly, Hadley learned the next day that there was a coup in the Kurt family and the second son Kimbra took over.Hadley looked at the photo in his hand and was lost in thought.After successfully seizing power that day, Kimbra knew very well how meticulous his father’s thinking was. Hence, he arranged for someone to investigate all the immediate and collateral relatives of the entire Kurt family.Kimbra could only rest assured once all suspicions were cleared.It was a pity that Kimbra never imagined that the person whom his father had the greatest expectations for was a Somerlander whom he shared no blood relationship with.Life at the Top Chapter 2236-“I’m just an ordinary restaurant owner, all I can do is hand over the photos to you… As for what to do next, it’s up to you. You can even think of this as just a story.”The restaurant owner handed over the photo. When he saw Jasper accepting it solemnly, he ordered his staff to open the door.“Thank you, I know what I should do.” Jasper nodded, got up, and left with Julian.The two returned to the car before driving away from the Kurt family’s oil field.Halfway through, Julian finally could not hold himself back.He asked, “Jasper, what should we do now?”“What else can I do? Of course, I choose to save Baltimore! Anyway, this time our goal is to target Qari’s oil industry, so no one can stand in our way!” Jasper’s gaze was firm, and Julian knew he would never look back once he had made up his mind.“But the Kurt family is very difficult to deal with. The legalized bodyguards they hired are like a large military unit.”“That’s why I asked you to go back first, let’s take our time deciding…”“Do you really think that the second son, Kimbra, who has just successfully usurped the throne, is difficult to deal with?”Jasper looked confident. Hence, he told Julian.At this point, Kimbra not only lacked the foresight to realize that the United States was coveting Qari. Instead, he chose to launch a coup to seize power while his father was away.At best, this kind of person was brave and foolhardy, and it was hard to say whether other people were manipulating him behind the scenes.“Indeed, I don’t have as many firearms as they do, but if we were to compare ourselves, I’m clearly the boss.” Jasper pointed to his head and snorted softly.Julian also nodded accordingly.After following Jasper for the past few years, he believed that Jasper was someone with great wisdom and was different from people like himself. Every time Jasper encountered a crisis, he would see things from a different perspective.It was also because of this that Jasper could find a way to resolve any crisis every time.When Julian drove Jasper away, the second son Kimbra was standing in front of the window in the Kurt family’s office. He looked at the endless field outside while someone knocked on the door.“Come in!”The person outside pushed the door open. He was the manager who had deceived Jasper earlier and left him alone.“Any updates?”“Sir, it’s done now. As per your orders, we ordered them not to cooperate with any Somerlanders. ”After hearing this, the frozen expression on Kimbra’s face eased a lot.“How can you idiots not know that my father has been in contact with a Somerlander? I hope I can still fix it in time.” Kimbra snorted lightly and the manager nodded quickly.“I’m sorry, Sir. We only found out about it after it happened.”“But don’t worry, as long as there is a ban, there will be no threat in the future. I hope so. If anything goes wrong in this, I will kill you…”***In the blink of an eye, Julian took Jasper back to Bashra.It was already afternoon, and Saul, who was hungover from the night before, had woken up.“Hey, where did you two go? Did you go to meet the Kurt family?”Jasper immediately responded with a smile when he heard this.“No, no, we just wandered around the city. We found that there are indeed many rumors about the Kurt family. Thank you for reminding us last night, Mr. Jefferson. Otherwise, we would have gone rashly today and get turned away.”As soon as Julian heard what Jasper said, he understood that this matter should be kept secret. Hence, he did not say a word, and just nodded in agreement.Life at the Top Chapter 2237-Saul smiled and stroked his beard. Then, he took Jasper and the others to the restaurant in the hotel.“Now it seems that I was right, yeah?” Saul smiled slightly, and Jasper and Julian nodded accordingly.“Although you want to enter the oil industry and also have contacts with the Kurt family, the interests in this industry are too great so it is very complicated. They won’t agree to cooperate with you just from a few words.”Jasper asked immediately after hearing this. “Mr. Jefferson, do you have any better suggestions? I hope you can tell me. I’m all ears.”Saul had always liked Jasper’s attitude, and he did not continue to keep Jasper on tenterhooks.“To tell you the truth, people who can work in the oil industry in Qari must not only possess money but also strength.”“Strength?”“Yes, strength!”Saul told Jasper that whether Qari was peaceful now depended entirely on whether you were a civilian or a boss.There was competition among the major businessmen, and because of environmental factors, the worst businessmen would hire many bodyguards with live ammunition to protect themselves.If one did not have a certain strength to suppress the intricate forces here, just having money was definitely not enough!“For many years, there were wealthy people from abroad wanting to get involved annually. As a result, they all failed in the end, and they would be lucky if they could keep their lives… Many of them lost their lives and money in Qari, and ultimately became food for the jackals!”Jasper knew that the jackals Saul meant were the robbers who were not controlled by law.“One more thing you have to know, if you want to cooperate with the Kurt family, you have to prove that you have this ability. Ability is very important, and I believe you have it too, but the stage where you can show your ability is more important, isn’t it?”Saul was indeed experienced. He managed to make Jasper change his mind with just a few words.He clapped his hands immediately and then continued to ask questions. “Then, Mr. Jefferson, where is the stage where I can display my abilities that you mentioned?”At this time Saul brought out a map of Bashra and drew a few circles on it.“Although this is the farthest place from Bashra, it doesn’t mean it’s no man’s land… Some of the scattered small oil fields are controlled by robbers. If you can take over them, it will be enough to be act as a stepping stone to the Kurt family!”After Saul finished speaking, Jasper nodded thoughtfully.“Thank you, Mr. Jefferson. Your remarks are more enlightening than what I have read in the past ten years. I propose a toast to you!”After Jasper finished speaking, he immediately took a drink from his glass, and Saul was very happy when he saw that.He still wanted to have a drink with Jasper, but Saul’s head hurt when he thought about last night’s hangover. Hence, he put down the glass in the end.“In short, you can use my place as your base camp. Just go out there and do your thing! To be honest, I really want to see what you can do here!”Saul patted Jasper’s shoulder meaningfully before turning around and leaving.After he left, Jasper was still staring at Saul’s back in a daze.Seeing the respect in Jasper’s eyes, Julian said with a smile. “Jasper, he’s gone.”Jasper, who came back to his senses, showed no slack at all. Instead, he looked very serious.“I was indeed acting in the beginning, and you know the reason. But now I’m serious. It’s really not easy for Saul to gain a foothold here.”Life at the Top Chapter 2238-Seeing Jasper’s seriousness, Julian asked immediately. “Really? Why don’t I believe you?”“You will understand after I explain to you.”Just as Julian understood, Jasper was indeed pretending at the beginning. He wanted to hide the news that something happened to the Kurt family. Even so, Saul still told Jasper about his survival in Qari without knowing.Qari was different from the peaceful and prosperous Somerland. There were too many things here that were outside the law. If one did not have the ability to gain a foothold in Qari, then it would not help no matter how much money one had.Jasper also believed in what Saul said.There were too many wealthy businessmen and investors in this world. There must be a reason why they did not come to Qari recklessly.“Then have you figured out our next plan?”After Julian finished speaking, Jasper looked up at him thoughtfully.“Yes, our next plan is to start gaining a foothold in Bashra! Speaking of which, I should depend on you for this according to what Saul said.”Jasper glanced down at Julian’s waist, and the other party immediately understood.“Should I use force? To be honest, I’m looking forward to it.”This did not mean that Julian was a murderer. However, violence would be the field he was most familiar with!“Really? I also look forward to your wonderful performance. Let’s go, if you want to be good at your work, you must first sharpen your tools. Let’s recruit some people first!” Jasper waved his hand, and Julian got into the car with him, feeling curious.“I have gathered a convoy here, do I still need to recruit more people?”“Let me ask you, are the people in this team worthy of your trust?” Jasper said with a smile.“Of course, I carefully selected all of them!” Julian was a little anxious, and Jasper continued.“Alright, keep your people to protect us and expand our power around them.”After Jasper’s explanation, Julian finally understood. “Okay, come with me!”Julian started the car immediately and set off with ease with Jasper.Seeing how experienced Julian was, Jasper could not hold back his laughter.“Julian, isn’t this your first time to Bashra just like me? Why does it seem like you’re so familiar with this place?”Julian smiled slightly when he heard this. “I’m not very familiar with Bashra, but I am very familiar with where to recruit soldiers in this area… Although they are not in the same place, they are all in the same industry. There might be many superficial changes but there will be no departure from the original stand.”“We’re here…”After he said that, Julian parked the car on the side of the road, then pointed his finger ahead of him.Jasper turned his head to look over and found that there was nothing here except some low-rise residential buildings.“What is there to see here?”“Look at the second-floor windows of the small building next to the alley entrance.”At this time, Jasper looked up, and sure enough, he saw a red pennant on the window.“Yeah, what does the red pennant mean?”“Red pennants represent entrances and blue pennants represent exits.”“If it’s white, it means everything is sold out and the market is closed. This has always been the rule in Qari.”After explaining, Julian walked in with Jasper.After walking through this alley, Jasper’s eyes suddenly brightened. He did not expect that there would be an arms market hidden behind this residential building.

Life at the Top Chapter 2239-When they saw Jasper and Julian, many vendors started to holler. Although he could not understand a word, Jasper was already dazzled.

Jasper knew that it was not illegal to buy and sell these things in Qari. However, he underestimated the size of the market here.

Jasper followed Julian around several times, but Julian still did not make a purchase.

He asked, “Why are you not buying anything?”

Julian could only turn around and explain to Jasper. “Jasper, even if you are rich, you still have to spend the money wisely. Let’s be more cautious. These small vendors can’t satisfy us at all. We’re just putting on a show.”

After hearing this, Jasper raised his head slightly, and sure enough, he found that there were some large-scale shops beside him. Those shops that sell weapons were obviously much more advanced than street vendors.

The bosses in the store were either standing or sitting. They were all secretly observing the movements on the street.

Julian brought Jasper to one of the stores until the market was about to close.

“Boss, what are the prices of these?” Julian picked up a gun casually and played with it in his hand.

“This brand new infrared-guided pistol costs three hundred and fifty dollars.”

“What about this one…” Julian almost picked out all the weapons in the store, but he still did not buy anything.

In the end, the boss spoke before him.

“Sir, I have noticed you since just now. You have been walking around the whole market for a long time. Is it because you haven’t found what you want, so that’s why you didn’t buy anything?”

Finally, Julian had a smile on his face while answering, “Indeed, I finally found a sensible person like you.”

“You’re too kind. What will you need? Do you need a special weapon or something else?”

Julian shook his head at this moment and said in a low voice.

“No, I want people.”

After saying these words in the weapons market, the shop owner instantly understood what Julian meant.

“The people I want must be well-trained, and if I don’t like them, then just forget it. Boss, are you confident?”

When Julian said this, the shop owner started talking.

“Don’t worry, although I don’t understand this, my younger brother is an expert in this field… As for whether you will like those people, it depends on whether your requirements are high or not. I’ll make contact for you right now!”

The boss Harley immediately took out his mobile phone and contacted his younger brother, Brock.

About ten minutes later, a pickup truck appeared outside the store, and a strong man with tattoos on his arms got off it.

“He’s my brother Brock, you can just follow him.”

Julian saw that Brock was alone and finally nodded reassuringly.

“Let’s go, Jasper. It’s okay, I’m here.”

After Julian said that, Jasper felt more at ease. They got into the car again and were led away from the market by Brock.

After they left, Harley showed a sad face.

A man with braids walked in from the back door of his shop. This man was Yves, the deputy head of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries.

“Good job Harley, your future is promising… If it works this time, I’ll let your brother Brock go.”

Facing the threat, Harley could do nothing but nod his head in gratitude.

Soon, Brock took Jasper and Jasper out of the city and gradually entered the suburbs.

“Are we there yet?” Julian asked suddenly, and Brock answered with ease.

“Not yet, but we’ll be there soon. Please bear with me.”Life at the Top Chapter 2240-After another ten minutes, the pickup truck stopped, and Brock pointed to a large yard ahead.“My people are training in there, let’s go and have a look!”Brock walked in front, and he did not seem to be lying, so Julian and Jasper followed.Brock took off his sunglasses when they were in the room.“Come, we will be there through this door. Maybe you can watch them train.”Brock continued to lead the way, while Jasper snuck up to whisper something in Julian’s ear.The three of them passed through the door one after another, and soon someone rushed out of the room while shouting, “Don’t move!”Jasper was caught off guard, and a gun was already placed on his head.Brock looked at Jasper with a sneer on his face. “Hmph, I finally caught you cunning little mice… Today I will take you back to receive my reward, and I’d like to see who else dares to disobey me!”After hearing what the other party said, Jasper still had a smile on his face.“Why are you smiling?”“I’m smiling because you don’t even know that your end is near. You don’t think we haven’t discovered your clumsy scheme?”After hearing Jasper’s words, Brock suddenly felt something was wrong.At this time, Julian, who had already been disarmed, took action again decisively.As expected of Julian, he was strong enough to crush anyone in the room. Julian easily took the weapons from their hands and pointed the gun at Brock’s head.“Tell all of them to kneel! Including you!” Jasper roared.Brock could only take the lead and kneel on the ground with a plop.“W-When did you find out? Impossible!” Brock was amazed, while Jasper smiled and picked up the sunglasses he put on the table.“You idiot, you look nothing like Brock, the shop owner Harley’s brother. I found out the moment you took off your sunglasses.” Jasper told the person in front of him that the moment he entered the store, he saw the photo the owner Harley placed on the table.In that photo, a person was hugging Harley, and their eyes were very similar.Jasper did not need to guess to know that person was the real Brock.When he just entered the room, the guy in front of him took off his sunglasses, and Jasper immediately noticed something was wrong. However, since they did not have much time, he could not reveal too much to Julian behind him.He could only approach and tell Julian that there was something fishy and he should get ready to take action. That was why Julian was able to complete the counter-kill when he caught up with them.“Now, it’s time to tell me your name!”Facing Jasper’s threat, the strong man in front of him suddenly panicked. His breathing became more rapid, and he looked as if he was caught in a dilemma.“Tell me! If you don’t tell me, I’ll kill you!”Julian also picked up the gun and started threatening him. However, no one expected the gun to malfunction in the next second.With a bang from the gunshot, the strong man in front of him fell to the ground.Jasper looked back at Julian with a look of astonishment, but Julian just quickly pinned him to the ground.“Don’t move! I didn’t shoot, there are snipers outside!” As soon as Julian finished speaking, there were indeed multiple gunshots outside.Fortunately, the gunfire did not last long before it stopped.Julian came out to test the waters while relying on his vigorous skills. Finally, he let down his guard after confirming that there was no danger.
