Victory in Life
Chapter 681
Everyone thought the offer would end with Jasper clenching his teeth and asking for a higher bid while Marcus watched calmly as Jasper lost a fortune.
Or it might end up with Jasper's understanding and handing the land over to Marcus at a low price just to buy it at a high price.
Still, the current situation was something that no one expected.
Everyone understood now when they saw Jasper showing his hand.
It had been set up from the start, a trap in which he would lure Marcus only to end Marcus with a single strike.
The owners of the two real estate companies looked at each other.
They looked at each other confused.
The same thought popped into their heads, "Are all outsiders so vicious at the moment?"
Then, they looked at Marcus, having lost his game and dignity, Marcus resembled an angry lion as he suddenly stood up and smashed his palm into the table in front of him, resulting in a loud bang.
After that there was a cry louder than the crack of the table.
"How dare you trick me, Jasper?"
Jasper sat in his chair, unaffected by Marcus' screams, he spoke calmly, "What do you mean? you were the one who jumped out and challenged me to this piece of land, the auction was organized by the city government as well, so how could you accuse me of deceiving you?"
His jaw was tightly clenched, Marcus's eyes reddened, he was so angry that he could explode.
"This is 950 million Somer Dollars!"
'Almost 1 billion!'
"1 billion of my hard-earned money is now gone!, instead is a 1,500-acre plot of industrial land!"
The land was useless in Marcus' hands, as he did not know and did not understand operating the factory.
This made Marcus very uncomfortable, as business for him was always smooth going.
Compared to Marcus, Ned was more furious.
Ned and the others were a very close group of friends because they had similar interests.
While Marcus is a major shareholder of PT Fortune, Ned also owns the same shares, this 950 million loss means Ned will lose several hundred million as well.
If Marcus was already so angry, one could only imagine how angry Ned felt.
His pawnshop business did not make huge profits, however, current social and economic developments have not reached the peak of Jasper's life in the past, there are only so many things that can be pawned by civilians today, most people are someone's employees or running their own business, rarely people suddenly need large amounts of funds.
Thus, several tens of thousands a year was the maximum amount Ned could obtain from his pawnshop.
There was no way Ned was willing to pay so much money at once today.
Shouting, Ned arrived in front of Jasper and spoke gloomily, "Stop pretending to be innocent, Laine, everyone with eyes can tell that you set a trap for us with this auction!"
"You're going to pay this 950 million whether you want to or not! or I'll kill you right now!"
Blinded by the profits, Ned no longer cared about the fact that they were in public when he threatened Jasper on the spot.
Threats were not enough to assuage his anger, so Ned reached out to grab Jasper's collar.
Behind Jasper, Julian was already standing as Ned rushed over, Julian didn't want to see Jasper get hurt, so he stepped forward in front of Jasper and reached out to grab Ned's wrist.
Then, everyone there watched Julian twist Ned, a wide, burly man 190 cm tall, and throw him on the floor.
With a thud, Ned's 100 kg body hit the floor, next heard a cry of fear and pain from the man.
