Ch. 2281..2290

Life at the Top Chapter 2281-Hearing Celine’s voice, Jasper pondered for a while and said, “Qari is very dangerous. You watch the news every day so you should know. Your safety is the most important thing, so don’t come here.”

After hearing this, rather than admitting defeat, Celine’s interest was piqued. “I heard from my family that because of the problem of this oil field, you are being targeted everywhere in Bashra. I want to help you! Besides, there are not many people who can help you and I’m one of them!”

Jasper calmed down and thought for a while after he heard that. He knew that the person who could come to Qari to help at this juncture would not only prove their friendship with him but also had a certain strength.

Most people would be intimidated by the false news targeting Somerland merchants.

Celine was not afraid, and the Maynards in South America would not care about this false news. In addition, today was the deadline. If Jasper hesitated, no one would be able to help him. Therefore, he considered it again and again and finally decided to agree.

“Okay, but you have to promise me one thing.”

“What is it?” Celine asked.

”Qari is still too dangerous here. I only need to borrow your identity… I have to send you back safely right after you come here and go through the transfer process.”

Upon hearing this, Celine felt a warmth in her heart. She did not expect Jasper to care about her so much at this time.

“No problem. After all, I’m not familiar with that side, so I’ll listen to you.”

”Alright, I’ll send you the address and you must arrive before the sun goes down today.”

After hanging up the phone, Celine left immediately while Jasper let out a sigh of relief.

He immediately contacted Mr. Murik and told him the good news.

“Sir, don’t worry, I have already found a suitable candidate here…”

”Really? Who is it?”

“You don’t have to worry about who it is. In short, the other party is not afraid of Bella’s restrictions and is currently on the way!”

Murik finally rest assured after hearing how confident Jasper was. “Really? That’s good, that’s good… Then I’ll wait for your good news!”

After finishing all preparations, Jasper saw Julian appear in front of him.

”We have the right candidate.”

”Really? Who is it?” Julian asked.

”Celine Maynard, a representative of the Maynards in South America. She is very qualified in terms of strength and identity. Even Bella can’t continue to make things difficult for her this time!”

Bella could intimidate others since she was backed by the strength of the Rothschilds. However, she could not do anything to Celine. If she really wanted to, the Maynards in South America were not afraid of her!

Jasper believed that the Rothschilds would not want to provoke a strong enemy because of this.

“Also, Julian, you must protect Celine’s safety! Celine should have bodyguards coming with her from Somerland so we shouldn’t have to worry. The most important thing is the road after arriving at Bashra

Airport. We have to be careful.”

The last time, Jasper only arrived at Bashra after going through a lot of challenges.

Later, Jasper also learned that Bella might be the reason why the local airport was taken over. He did not believe that ordinary robbers had the strength to completely control the airport.

Life at the Top Chapter 2282-Julian thought for a while and said, “Why don’t we follow the old route and have Miss Maynard transfer to Najef using the bus?”

Jasper stroked his chin and thought for a while, then shook his head.

“We used this method once, so I think Bella will take precautions for the second time. But we can repeat the same trick and really anger her!”

Jasper told Julian to follow him to make some preparations.

Firstly, Jasper was going to attack the airport to repel the robbers surrounding there. Then, Bella would definitely go to the airport immediately and intercept it!

Meanwhile Jasper asked Julian to arrange another empty convoy to go to Najef to follow the old route again. He deliberately released the news, and it was up to Bella to decide which side she believed.

No one would have guessed that Celine would not use any of the routes, so even if Bella wanted to eavesdrop on the information, it would be too late!

“Then which way would Miss Maynard use?” Julian could not figure it out, and Jasper smiled frankly.

“She said she has a way in. Obviously, she has arranged a path that we don’t know of. I choose to believe her.”

Jasper stared out the window, his gaze firm.

“Now, we just need to do what we can do! Let’s go now!”

At Jasper’s order, Julian immediately began to assemble the team.

Jasper would not be so stupid as to be a lone hero. Of course, Jasper knew that at this moment, Bashra’s airport had been hijacked by robbers, and it would not only affect him.

There were so many forces in Bashra eying the airport. There was a fire burning inside them and they just needed an outlet to vent.

He was just that outlet!

Jasper assembled a large group of people within twenty minutes, and then led the team straight to Bashra Airport with Julian. He leaked this news on purpose, so it quickly spread throughout the city.

“Have you heard? The new Somerland businessman went to liberate the airport!”

“Really? It’s so dangerous! How could he do it alone?”

“As expected of that mysterious hero from the east, he is so bold! We can’t let him become a lone hero, can we?”

The many strengths in the city had different opinions and they finally reached a consensus. They were obviously on the sidelines as well. However, if Jasper achieved a successful result, those people would surely get Jasper’s backing!

The news quickly reached Bella’s ears. She looked a little excited.

“Yves, why are you still drinking? Jasper is going to liberate the airport!”

When Yves heard this, he immediately put down the rum in his hand.

“Don’t worry about that, Miss Bella. Just let him come, we are not afraid. The Sky Wolves Mercenaries are not scared of him.”

With Yves’ reassurance, Bella gradually calmed down. Then, there was another report from her subordinates.

”Miss Bella, our dark sentries have spotted a convoy secretly heading to Najef.”

Upon hearing this, Miss Bella froze for a moment and Yves laughed again.

“Did you hear that, Miss Bella? Jasper didn’t really come to attack the airport. He wanted to trick under the cover of a diversion. He has probably found someone who can take over the oil field, so he wants to do what he did before.”

At this moment, Bella nodded thoughtfully with a smile on her face.

“This makes sense. I was wondering where Jasper got his courage… It turns out he‘s just trying to trick it. This time, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, you should lead the team to Najef yourself. Be sure to bring all of the people from Najef back to me!”

Life at the Top Chapter 2283-Yves immediately stood up and gave Bella a military salute. “Roger that, Miss Bella. Don’t worry, I promise to complete the task!”

Yves soon assembled an elite team and personally led the team to Najef.

Bella then took the rest of the people to the airport. She also had to make sure that there were no problems here but could not put too much pressure on Yves.

Jasper and Julian soon arrived near the airport, and the spy he left in the city also brought them information.

“We received news that Bella fell for our trick. She arranged for two groups of people, one of whom was lured to Najef while the other one is coming to the airport is being led by Bella!”

After Julian’s report, Jasper nodded seriously.

“That’s good. Since she’s leading one, I have to totally embarrass hen”

Jasper already had a rough plan in mind.

In any case, Bella was used to getting both a middleman and a scapegoat to serve as her double insurance. If that were the case, Jasper would oblige her.

Today, Jasper not only wanted to restore the airport to normal but also expose Bella as the one acting behind the scenes.

If Bella became a target of scorn, then she would not dare to be overly arrogant.

After hearing this, Julian thought this was a good idea.

“Jasper, you are so smart. You can even change your plan on the spot. I got another piece of news. It is said that the news that we are going to liberate the airport has spread throughout the city. Those people are full of ambition now, and they should be waiting for us to fire the first shot!”

Jasper also smiled and nodded in response. “That’s right, so we must guarantee a one-time success. Did you bring a map of the interior layout of the airport?”

Julian immediately took out the map to analyze it carefully with Jasper.

They looked at it for a long time and finally found that the only flawed area should be an underground freight passage. This freight passage had been serving the entire airport.

Since the other entrances and exits of the entire airport were all used to serve passengers and cargo, there were also freight passages on the ground, but the underground freight passages were only for inside use. Daily necessities and consumables in the airport would be transported through this area.

“At that time, we have to arrange for people to sneak in from here.

“It’s enough to have people on the ground attracting attention!”

Although Jasper’s plan was good, Julian figured it was inappropriate.

“Brock hasn’t come back yet, so I don’t feel relieved to let you act alone.”

Julian looked at Jasper and the latter shook his head. “Don’t worry, I’m not as fragile as you think. Although I don’t have as strong a combat power as you, I can still protect myself.”

Since Jasper insisted, Julian stopped arguing on this issue.

All he could do is to take control of the inside of the airport as quickly as possible. This would buy Jasper more time.

”Okay, Jasper, try to hang on out there. If you can’t hold on, then withdraw quickly. Your safety is the most important thing! You don’t need to worry about me, Julian, I will always find a way to save myself.”

Julian and Jasper looked at each other and nodded. Then, the former immediately brought three people with him and set off quickly.

Jasper, on the other hand, continued to lead the large army to station near the airport gate.

He was waiting for Julian to send him a message. Once he got the message, it would be the best time for Jasper to take action.

Life at the Top Chapter 2284-Julian quickly found the underground passage to the airport with the three people he brought. There were two security guards here, and it seemed to be easy to force their way through it.

Julian looked at the people around him and immediately gave an order.

“Go attract their attention. Leave the rest to me!”

Two of them hurried out, pretending that they got lost and came here to ask for directions. Although the two security guards were suspicious when they saw the men, they did not ask any questions.

While they were showing the men the way, Julian had already crept up behind them. He directly knocked the two security guards out with two chops to the neck.

“We don’t need to kill them. They are probably the security guards forced by the robbers to stay here. Just drag them to the corner and leave them there.”

Julian knew when to kill, and he was very clear about who should be killed and who should not.

His subordinates immediately followed suit. After this, Julian and one of them even changed into the security guard’s clothes. Their distraction worked every single time they encountered a new set of guards.

Their opponents were bluffed every single time and then Julian and the other man would take care of them.

Soon, they came to the last door.

Julian remembered the details of the map. As long as he passed through this last door, he will have entered the interior of the airport.

“Remember, all of you are very important now so none of you can make any mistakes.”

After Julian finished speaking, everyone nodded. They were all wearing the security uniforms they seized, which provided them maximum protection. Even so, Julian knew this protection might not last.

After recomposing himself, Julian took the security key card and opened the last door.

Sure enough, as Julian expected, vicious robbers appeared in front of them. Each of these men was heavily armed, so everyone around Julian was taken aback.

Julian sensed that something was wrong. There were indeed too many security guards here.

“Quick, take off your clothes and spread out! If you get caught, tell them you are a security guard to buy more time.”

The situation was critical, and Julian had no way to get a better understanding of the situation, so he could only react like this.

The rest of the people were also confused, so they just hurried up and followed him. However, these people moved too slowly, so they were discovered halfway.

“Where did so many security guards come from? Something’s not right. Go get them!”

The robbers swarmed up and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Although a little regretful, Julian was only able to escape because of the chaos. He hid in a small warehouse nearby and called Jasper quickly.

“Hey, Jasper, attack now. I’ve already sneaked in, but I’m still some distance away from the control center. I need you to help me attract attention!”

Jasper nodded without any hesitation after he heard that.

”Hold on, I’ll give the order right away!”

With a wave of Jasper’s hand, gunshots rang out in an instant over the originally peaceful airport.

The airport had long been under the control of Bella’s people, so when the gunshots sounded, it quickly caused riots!

“What happened? Where did the gunshot come from? Go check it out!”

The leader of the robbers guarding here was a bearded man named Stevie.

After he gave the order, his subordinates ran off. However, they returned not long after.

“Huh? What are you doing? Don’t you dare to run away!”

Stevie could not believe that his men had completed the task in a few minutes.

However, his subordinates said timidly, “Boss, there is no need to investigate. Those guys are already here!”

Life at the Top Chapter 2285-“What? “Take me there right away!”

Stevie did not believe that anyone would dare to be so bold as he had guarded the airport for nearly half a month.

If someone really dared to come, they probably would have come a long time ago and would not wait until now. However, when he really went to the scene to take a look, he found that the opponent was barging in fiercely.

In just a few minutes, they had taken down areas such as the square in front of the airport and the gate.

Stevie immediately picked up the binoculars and looked around. He felt as if his face was swollen from the slaps.

“What are you still doing? Immediately arrange for reinforcements, the more people the better!”

“Roger that!”

Stevie’s order quickly spread throughout the airport. This also invisibly saved Julian.

The people who were caught were going to be severely punished. After the order was issued, everyone quickly put down what they were doing and rushed to the front line.

The guys who were tied up finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Julian appeared after that.

“Boss!”

“Stop talking. Hurry up and seize the control center with me. Since even the people who caught you have left, there should only be a few people in the control center!”

Julian quickly untied their ropes and took everyone into the deeper part of the airport. They passed through one door after another. No one was there to guard them anymore.

After about ten minutes, Julian and the others finally arrived at the control center. Looking out the window, he saw that there were four or five other people stationed there.

Everyone was fully armed, and their gear was indeed much better than what Julian was using.

There would be heavy casualties if they were to fight head-on. However, Julian was not stupid, so he immediately improvised.

“We can no longer lure them away now. Let’s do the old trick, turn off the lights!”

Julian knew that the control center must have received information from the outside.

If Julian tried to trick them again, it would be tantamount to death. Therefore, he thought it over and decided that turning off the lights would be the best approach.

”No problem, leave it to us!”

Julian nodded. As soon as the lights went off, it would be his turn to have fun.

He waved his hand, and everyone dispersed to perform their dunes. One of them ran a bit slowly so he was discovered by the people in the control center.

“Who was that person who just passed by outside? Something’s not right! Go get him!”

He heard that had been discovered, but this man was not stupid, so he imitated Julian and started to improvise. He decided to keep running to buy Julian time.

When Julian reached the door of the control center, the overhead lights went off. He rushed in quickly and directly dealt with the people there.

By the time the lights came back on, Julian had taken control of the control center. He told Jasper the good news immediately.

Jasper quickly answered the ringing phone.

“Hey, Jasper, l have some good news for you! I’ve taken over the control center of the airport.”

Jasper smiled and said, “Julian, you did a good job. Many people from Bashra have come to help us! We will surely win today!”

While Jasper awaited victory, Bella arrived at the airport.

Before she got out ofthe car, she saw that the place was a mess and the scene was very chaotic. Bella was taken to a safe place where she met Stevie, the leader of the robbers.

Life at the Top Chapter 2286-“What are you doing? Why is the airport such a mess? It was previously under control!”

“I’m sorry, Miss Bella. We don’t know the reason, but the attack came too suddenly. Fortunately, the opponent only took down the gate and the front square, so we can still hold on at present.”

Bella obviously could not accept this reason.

“What? So you are satisfied with just this? You are such a waste of space! What I want is control of the entire airport, not just you barely holding the fort!”

Bella was very angry, but at this time someone sent bad news again.

“Miss Bella, a large number of people are coming here from the direction of Bashra!”

“What? Reinforcements are coming!”

Stevie excitedly looked through the binoculars but found that the other party‘s clothes and flags were not familiar to his at all.

Bella could not stand it anymore, so she raised her hand and slapped him.

“You pig-headed idiot! I am here, so why would you get more reinforcements?”

“That’s someone else’s reinforcements!”

Now, Stevie stretched out his hand to cover his red and swollen face. Eventually, he realized what was going on. Since the opponent had prepared reinforcements, there would surely be a tough battle today.

“Miss Bella, what should we do?”

“Stop talking, organize a counterattack immediately!”

Bella gave an order, and the two sides launched into a fierce battle. They fought fiercely.

While Bella was anxious about the result, Jasper seemed relaxed. It was because he was originally here to start the fight. If the fight on his side was more intense, the reinforcements behind Bella would pay more attention to it. This was just for show.

Jasper was still waiting when the firepower outside suddenly increased, which indicated that Bella’s reinforcements had arrived. However, only Jasper understood that this was all a show because he knew that Bella’s people had flocked to Najaf.

Now, Jasper was nurturing his strength and biding his time. As he was fighting, he arranged for people to enter the interior via the underground passage.

Bella had no idea about this, and she was still arranging for people to fight back fiercely. She did not understand why today‘s battle was so difficult.

Soon, Jasper saw the reinforcements from Bashra.

When they saw Jasper commanding with all his strength, they could not help but cast appreciative glances.

“Great! Someone is finally willing to stand up for us after half a month!”

Jasper smiled when he heard this.

“Actually, I’m not that great. If you want to stand up for yourself, you still have to work hard. Otherwise, if you keep relying on others, you will be bullied for the rest of your life!”

Jasper’s words awakened everyone. They could not help feeling a little emotional when they saw the continuous gunshots outside.

“That’s right, that’s right! We can only rely on ourselves!”

“Let’s bring everyone together. If we win this battle, those robbers will have to leave, and we will be able to use the airport again!”

With the support of these reinforcements, Jasper’s side was full of vigor. They could finally move beyond areas such as the airport’s front plaza and gates.

At present, they could go further to compress the space in which the robbers could move around.

Bella was very anxious when she saw this. As she was panicking, she thought of Yves.

“Yves, what the hell are you doing? Why is there no news so far?”

If Yves told her that he had captured the person who came to help Jasper, then Bella could leverage this hostage to intimidate Jasper and force him to get everyone to evacuate.

Yves, who received the call, had a sad expression on his face.

“Miss Bella, we went all the way to Najef, but we were fooled!”

Life at the Top Chapter 2287-“Fooled? What do you mean?” Bella’s eyes went dark with a bad premonition.

“We caught two of them and after interrogation, they said they were just here to attract attention. The people who’re helping Jasper are not using this route at all!”

As soon as Yves said that, Bella’s face was extremely gloomy.

“Then what should we do now? We’re losing the airport!”

Yves hurriedly said, ”Judging from the current situation, I’m sure I won’t be able to get back in time. Miss Bella, why don’t you ask our leader, Viktor, for help? He will definitely be able to help you!”

After all, Yves was only the deputy leader of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries, and the power he could mobilize was limited. He could only mobilize at most half of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries’ strength. However, Viktor was different. He was the real leader of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries.

It was not easy to win over Viktor. It would not be enough even if Bella had such a monstrous background. After all, this was Qari.

Bella hung up the phone and said in a deep voice, “Hold on, I’ll call for reinforcements!”

Bella gave the order, and Stevie, the leader of the robbers, nodded.

On the other side, Jasper felt that it was time and contacted Julian immediately.

“I think it’s almost time, let’s do it!”

Julian responded immediately, “No problem! Do it!”

With Julian’s order, he opened all the closed doors in the control center. While Jasper bought time on the outside, Julian had gathered a force of hundreds of people internally.

Everyone was fully armed, even more so than when they first came in.

Bella was on the phone when suddenly she also noticed that the gate of the airport opened by itself with a loud rumble.

”What the hell is going on? How did the door open by itself?”

There were two gates in the entire airport. One blocked off the front plaza and the other gated the entire airport terminal.

Now that the door inside opened, Bella was a little flustered. However, she never imagined that after the door opened, there would be more surprises to come!

“Um… We are all fighting in the front, so I don’t know what’s going on. It must be that the people under me are negligent again. Don’t worry, I’ll deal with it right away!”

After Stevie apologized, a large group of people rushed out from inside before he could give an order.

Stevie was dumbfounded when he saw it, but while he was at a loss, the two groups of people inside and outside had already gathered together.

“Everyone in the airport, listen to me, you are already surrounded! If you are sensible, surrender obediently, otherwise, don’t blame us for being merciless!”

Upon hearing this, Bella trembled with anger. “Why are we surrounded? Are you a traitor?”

Stevie received another slap. He wanted to die so badly now. This was because Stevie could not figure out what was going on.

“I’m not a traitor, Miss Bella, please believe me!”

Bella was no longer in the mood to listen to such words. All she had in her mind right now was how to evacuate safely. Even if she called Viktor at this time, he would not be able to bring his people there in such a short time.

If she did not withdraw at this time, she would not be able to get away once the opponent formed a siege.

Once Bella, the eldest daughter of the Rothschilds, was labeled as a terrorist, then her life would be ruined!

“Remember what you should say and should not say! I will ensure the safety and prosperity of your family!”

Then, the black off-road vehicle drove off. Soon, Stevie’s people were quickly surrounded from both the inside and outside.

Life at the Top Chapter 2288-Julian rushed over, and he immediately recognized that the bearded man was probably the leader. Without any hesitation, he strode forward.

Stevie wanted to fight back but was knocked down before he could draw his gun.

Julian snorted coldly, “Are you the boss?”

“Yes…”

“Is there anyone else?” Julian asked deliberately.

Stevie hesitated, but finally said, “It’s just me, and I’m their boss.”

Since Stevie refused to admit it at this time, Julian was not in a hurry. He was going to join Jasper now. After the two met, there would be plenty of time to interrogate him.

“Really? Take this guy away!” Julian waved his hand and immediately someone came to hold Stevie down.

Everything was ready and Julian immediately led his people to meet Jasper at the door.

“Jasper, we finally meet!” Julian immediately hugged Jasper, and the two smiled at each other.

“Yeah, I was also very nervous outside. I was afraid you might get into an accident on the inside. But looking at the situation, we are the ultimate winners!”

Julian then pointed to the bearded man next to him. “That guy is the leader of these robbers, and l have already caught him.”

“Why? Did you not see Bella?” Jasper asked and Julian shook his head.

“No, I guess she left immediately after she saw that the situation was going south. This bearded man should be her scapegoat.”

Jasper nodded. Even if he was just a scapegoat, he could still fully utilize Stevie.

“Come on, I’ll get someone to interrogate him myself.”

If the bearded man told the truth, Jasper could also record a video to use as evidence. It would be easier to deal with Bella in the future.

Julian immediately took Jasper to the place where Stevie was being held.

“You should tell me the truth. Who is instigating you behind the scenes?”

Stevie was not ready to confess. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was the only commander here from the beginning to the end.”

Upon seeing this situation, Jasper pulled Julian aside and said, “There’s no need to torture him to extract a confession. Find out the reason why this guy refuses to tell the truth and proceed with that. He will confess.”

Julian nodded and then went to do what Jasper told him.

“Mr. Laine, what should we do with the other robbers?” Someone asked next to him.

“Simple. Call the police. The crisis at the airport has been resolved. It’s time for Bashra’s police forces to intervene. Us civilians should stop acting on our own.”

Jasper was clear about this. If he was too arrogant, he would inevitably be accused of making others uneasy with his deeds.

“Alright, leave it to us. You should rest.”

Although Jasper did not want to admit it, he was now a hero in the eyes of everyone.

Coincidentally, Jasper received Celine’s call at this moment.

“Jasper, I’ve already arrived in the capital, Bardot, is it peaceful over there in Bashra?”

”You’re at Bardot? That’s great! I just took care of the robbers who seized the airport, and now I’m safe. You can come now.”

”Okay, I’ll be right there!”

Jasper waited patiently for about half an hour before spotting a small private plane landing smoothly.

After the cabin door opened, Celine walked down slowly in a graceful long dress.

Life at the Top Chapter 2289-Julian rushed over, and he immediately recognized that the bearded man was probably the leader. Without any hesitation, he strode forward.

Stevie wanted to fight back but was knocked down before he could draw his gun.

Julian snorted coldly, “Are you the boss?”

“Yes…”

“Is there anyone else?” Julian asked deliberately.

Stevie hesitated, but finally said, “It’s just me, and I’m their boss.”

Since Stevie refused to admit it at this time, Julian was not in a hurry. He was going to join Jasper now. After the two met, there would be plenty of time to interrogate him.

“Really? Take this guy away!” Julian waved his hand and immediately someone came to hold Stevie down.

Everything was ready and Julian immediately led his people to meet Jasper at the door.

“Jasper, we finally meet!” Julian immediately hugged Jasper, and the two smiled at each other.

“Yeah, I was also very nervous outside. I was afraid you might get into an accident on the inside. But looking at the situation, we are the ultimate winners!”

“You should tell me the truth. Who is instigating you behind the scenes?”

Stevie was not ready to confess. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was the only commander here from the beginning to the end.”

Although Jasper did not want to admit it, he was now a hero in the eyes of everyone.

Coincidentally, Jasper received Celine’s call at this moment.

“Jasper, I’ve already arrived in the capital, Bardot, is it peaceful over there in Bashra?”

”You’re at Bardot? That’s great! I just took care of the robbers who seized the airport, and now I’m safe. You can come now.”

”Okay, I’ll be right there!”

Jasper waited patiently for about half an hour before spotting a small private plane landing smoothly.

After the cabin door opened, Celine walked down slowly in a graceful long dress.

Life at the Top Chapter 2290-Jasper smiled. “That’s good, I feel more at ease now. You should go now. I’ll wait for your good news here.”

It would not take long to review the materials, but Murik needed to go there personally.

Murik nodded before he stood up and left. Only Jasper and Celine were left in the private room. The atmosphere was a bit ambiguous and awkward.

“You don’t have to keep looking at me like this. Since I’ve decided to come, I must have considered the consequences and the risks. Furthermore, once this oil field is under my name, it will definitely benefit me… You don’t have to blame yourself so much.”

Fortunately, Celine was born into a wealthy family. Although she was born as a daughter, she never seemed petty. Her magnanimous tone also clarified her position. If Jasper was still struggling with this trivial matter, it would mean he was not magnanimous enough.

After hearing this, Jasper deliberately pretended like he was taught a lesson and nodded repeatedly.

”Yes, yes, Miss Maynard, you’re right. As expected of a lady from a rich family, the way you talk is also different from others!”

Celine was amused when she saw Jasper like this. This smile eased Celine’s pressure.

It would be nonsense to say that Celine came here without feeling any pressure.

Celine had been pampered since she was a child, and she had never seen such a chaotic scene as what was happening in Qari.

Celine was gritting her teeth the entire time. She only did not lose control because she forced herself to stay calm.

After calming down a little bit, Celine still felt that Jasper’s previous behavior was too risky, so she asked, “Do you have to endure a hail of bullets every time you do business in Qari in the future?”

Jasper nodded seriously and did not conceal anything when he saw Celine’s questioning expression.

”That‘s right. I can’t lie to you about this. In case you decided to stay and then found out it’s not the same as you imagine. Then, I’ll be a great sinner…”

Jasper also told her what happened to him when he arranged for a substitute to come here. He did not mean to scare Celine. He just wanted to have her understand the cruel environment here as soon as possible. Only in this way could Jasper be worthy of Celine’s help during a critical moment.

After hearing Jasper’s story, Celine let out a sigh in her heart.

It would be impossible for Celine not to be tempted by a man as excellent as Jasper.

However, women’s thoughts were often delicate, and their feelings were even more complicated and confusing. Even Celine could not tell whether she fell in love with Jasper or whether she just admired him.

If it was the former, it would be troublesome, but if it was the latter, it would be much easier to handle.

“Why? Did what I say just now scare you?” Jasper noticed Celine had stopped talking after he finished his story.

He was afraid that he would scare the other party, so he deliberately joked again.

“Of course not. I’m just thinking about business. Since this place is so dangerous, why do you still stay here? Although oil is precious, won’t this all be a dream without a stable trading environment?”

As soon as Celine said this, Jasper could also see that she was definitely not useless.

“You can’t say that. If you want to obtain a stable and safe trading environment here, you have to prove your strength. Otherwise, there must be a reason why so many world-class billionaires were born here, and on the peninsula next door.”

Jasper was very straightforward. On the surface, the environment here was very dangerous and chaotic.

In reality, Jasper could see clearly that as long as one had strength, one could make peace in the midst of this chaos.

Therefore, what Jasper had to do was to be the first Somerlander to find peace amidst the turmoil here!
