Life at The Top novel Chapter 171

“Hahaha, this is f*cking hilarious. Look at this f*cker’s face. He looks like he just got kicked in the face by a donkey. Hahaha…”

When Henry Law grew bold, he did not care if Zane was Bob Lancaster or someone else’s son. He simply dissed him mercilessly.

After hearing what he said, everyone’s expressions turned odd. They wanted to laugh but did not dare to. It was hard to suppress their laughter, though.

Zane was so infuriated that he was about to spit blood. However, he did not dare to do anything to Henry Law. He could only repress his anger and glare at both Henry and Jasper with a seething gaze.

The auction, which had been nearing its end, concluded after this interlude.

However, everyone felt dull for the remainder of the auction.

After all, they had just watched Jasper go against Mitch and Zane in two epic showdowns. Everything else paled in comparison to that.

After the auction ended, the host rushed down the stage while breaking out in cold sweat. He had even forgotten to greet everyone in the hall.

This auction could be regarded as a traumatic memory that he would never forget for as long as he lived.

He would be easily wiped out if he had made a slight mistake while striving for survival amongst these big bosses,

It was too f*cking scary.

Just when everyone thought that the charity gala had ended, Michael Lane suddenly walked onto the stage with a wide smile on his face.

His appearance caused all the wealthy men and women to quiet down. They looked at Michael curiously while wondering what he was about to do.

“Everybody, I’d like to take this opportunity to make an announcement.”

Standing on the stage, Michael grinned. He scanned the entire hall before his gaze finally landed on Jasper.

Many people took note of this detail. Everyone focused their attention on Jasper.

“Today, I just signed a deal with Mr. Jasper Laine who’s from Mainland. In line with our principle of being fair and open, I’d like to let everyone know about it in advance.

“The subsidiary under Gladness International Corporation, Gladness Entertainment Movies, was officially sold to Mr. Jasper Laine at a price of 1.5 billion Harbor Dollars today. From today onward, he will be the head of Gladness Entertainment Movies.

“I believe that under the guidance of Mr. Jasper Laine, Gladness Entertainment Movies will definitely achieve greater heights in the future…”

Michael continued speaking on the stage. However, everyone below the stage could no longer pay attention to what he was saying.

They were all so shocked by the news that they lost the ability to form words.

Gladness Entertainment Movies was a well-known film company in Harbor City.

Gladness Entertainment Movies had been a constant in the industry ever since films from Harbor City began rising in popularity. The company owned the copyrights of many popular movies. Many artists were signed under the company as well.

Nevertheless, Gladness Entertainment Movies, one of the most prominent companies in the film and entertainment industry, would be handed over to a Mainlander today just like that?!

1.5 billion Harbor Dollars!

This was a fair price point that befitted the company’s worth.

Those who were quick-witted immediately recovered from their shock. The real deal was likely to include something worth far more than 1.5 billion Harbor Dollars.

However, Michael and Jasper did not say anything about it. Nobody could guess the real terms listed in the deal.

Nonetheless, the change of ownership of Gladness Entertainment Movies had become a reality.

“How is this possible?!”

Zane shouted in shock.

Mitch’s expression dulled. He gritted his teeth in anger. “That Mainlander is freaking despicable!” he exclaimed.

“Despicable? Anyone capable of doing big things is despicable. If you can’t get on your opponent’s level, you’ll just be trampled by them,” Kennedy said icily.

Beside him, Zane had his head lowered. He did not dare to utter a single word.

Bob Lancaster took a long glance at his son. “You guys are no match for him,” he said.

Refusing to accept his defeat, Mitch argued, “This is just one failure! I’ll eventually find the opportunity to crush him once and for all!”

“That’s enough,” Kennedy chastised him impatiently. “There are more important businesses coming up soon. They cannot be delayed any longer. Both of you should head back first. In the meantime, don’t do anything foolish!”

After that, Kennedy and Bob walked out of the hotel and entered a Rolls-Royce which was parked beside the building. They were in a hurry and were guided by their bodyguards.

A middle-aged man clad in a business suit was seated inside the car. He gave off an air of superiority.

The middle-aged man had a burly physique, blonde hair, and blue eyes. He must be from the west.

He was slowly swirling a glass of wine in his hands when the both of them got in the car.

After closing the door of the car, the man looked at the red wine sliding down the curve inside of the glass. He chuckled. “Mr. Langdon, Mr. Lancaster, it seems like your sons are still pretty naive,” he remarked.

The fact that their sons were incapable was a private matter. They could teach and scold them themselves. However, it was different when it came from someone else’s mouth.

Therefore, Kennedy Langdon did not seem to be in a good mood either. “Mr. Rogers, let’s talk about our plan,” he said in a blunt voice.

“According to what we previously discussed, Quantum Fund has already convinced a group of Wall Street capitalists. They’re all extremely interested in this plan. All you need to do is to cooperate with us from within Harbor City,” Rogers stated matter-of-factly.

“The United States’ internet economy bubble is about to be disrupted. Once the disruption occurs, we will start immediately. It’ll soon become a festival where we celebrate getting our hands on trillions of capital!”
