Noticing conflicted look on Chad’s face, Jasper could basically guess what had happened.
“Mr. Wright, there is still plenty of empty land in Reed City. Why is it only the plot of land that I wanted
to buy so high in demand right now? Furthermore, the other party only showed intentions of buying the
land after they found out that I wanted to buy it as well. Is he trying to become my sworn enemy?”
Chad’s expression changed drastically. “Please don’t say that, Mr. Wright. It’s hard for us to come to a
decision on this issue as well. After all, you haven’t bought that plot of land yet, Mr. Laine. Since it
doesn’t belong to anyone, we have no choice but to consider their request to purchase it as well.”
“It seems like that person is out to end me,” Jasper said in an even tone.
Chad laughed bitterly. “Mr. Laine, there are some words that only you can say. Deep down, we all know
how these things are. This company is renowned within Reed City. It is also quite notorious, as they
have taken out several of our previous investors,” he said.
“They’re snatching this plot of land away from me after discovering that I had intentions to buy it. After
that, they will resell it to me at a higher price. Methods like this are indeed beyond the capabilities of
ordinary people,” Jasper added.
An awkward expression formed on Chad’s face. “Why don’t you choose another plot of land, Mr.
Laine?” He asked.
Jasper shook his head, rejecting Chad’s suggestion.
The plot of land that Jasper had chosen would end up becoming the most valuable part of Reed City in
the future. The 1500-acre plot of land would also be enough to fully sustain the future development of
the factory.
“If I have to choose another plot of land, I’d pull my investment out of Reed City altogether. After all,
since they’ve taken that plot of land from me, it means they’re perfectly capable of snatching other
things away from me too.”
Jasper’s words caused a troubled expression to flash across Chad’s face. He sighed heavily and said,
“Mr. Laine, I really wish that I could help you on this, but I don’t have the abilities to do so. However, if
you want to discuss things with the other party, I can help you contact them.”
“There’s nothing for us to discuss.”
Jasper had a calm expression on his face.
“They’re doing this with the intention to thwart me. If I discuss things with them, they’ll just ask me for
money. Money didn’t just fall onto my lap, so I won’t hand it over to them just because they ask for it.”
As Jasper spoke, he walked out of the office.
Chad led Jasper downstairs awkwardly. He continued explaining and apologizing as they walked.
Nevertheless, Jasper did not blame him for the matter either. As they walked, he was already
considering the possibility of setting up the factory in Nauritus City.
After all, nobody could pose a threat to him over there, right?
Just as Jasper was about to get in the car upon arriving downstairs, a black Mercedes drove up to
them.
The car window rolled down to reveal the face of a young man. “You’re that investor from out of town,
right? It must have taken you some time to come here. Why are you in such a rush to leave? You are
yet to experience the burning passion of those from Reed City,” he said in a mocking tone.
Upon catching sight of the man, Chad, who was standing beside Jasper, immediately lowered his
voice. “Mr. Laine, he’s the person in charge of that company. His name is Marcus Coine. I have no idea
how he learned of your arrival,” he whispered.
After hearing Chad’s explanation, Jasper spoke to Marcus in a calm tone, “I’ve gone through a rather
profound experience.”
Marcus opened the car door and got out. He chuckled in response. “You sound like you aren’t too
happy about things. Why is that? Are you not investing in Reed City anymore, Big Boss?” He asked.
“Since there are people that won’t let me in, I have no choice but to leave,” Jasper replied.
Marcus scoffed loudly. “What an exaggeration. It’s just a plot of land, isn’t it? I heard that you intend to
buy the 1500-acre plot of land for 200 million dollars. It isn’t much, but it isn’t a sum of money to scoff at
either. Why don’t you pay a little more? You should treat poor people like us to some good food while
you’re at it,” he said.
“That’s just the way it works. People that are overly stingy cannot survive in Reed City, Big Boss. You
can offend anyone here but me. If you do something that I don’t like, I’ll send you back to where you
came from. Do you understand?”
