Uhm… Well… People in high positions were indeed different…
Jasper sighed in his heart.
Even though his idea was for Somerland’s sake, his starting point was always business-related, while Mr. McNeal skipped this and looked at a hundred years into the future.
What Mr. McNeal wanted was a long-term plan; Temporary gains and losses were not within his scope of consideration at all.
“Then… What about the United States?”
Mr. McNeal heard Jasper’s cautious question and smiled. “They’re not a concern. When we do something, we should not consider the difficulty but whether it is worth doing… Just go ahead and do it with all your heart. We will support you.”
Jasper asked, “Then, should we still use our company’s name when we finally take the lead on this matter?”
“Of course, we still need to do this well. We cannot allow them to find any flaws, so you should come forward in this matter so this can be done secretly and not get revealed.”
After saying that, Mr. McNeal seemed to realize something and continued, ” Don’t worry. We won’t discharge you after you have served your purpose. If you succeed in this matter, you will be serving the country and the people. We will never forget you. No one will use this as a pretext to trouble you later. We can promise you this.”
Mr. McNeal understood Jasper’s concerns.
This would involve a lot of people, so no matter how confident Jasper was, virtual-novel.net still had to consider his own safety.
When this plan progressed, it would be possible that they had to face the US state machine or even the entire Freemasonry. After all, from a certain perspective, the United States was also an extension of the will of Freemasonry.
No matter how strong Jasper was, virtual-novel.net would never be able to fight the threat of the state machine on his own.
“Of course, I believe in the country, and I don’t need the country to remember me, but… Since the country won’t forget me, can it be kind to others?”
Mr. McNeal was silent. He knew what Jasper meant.
Jasper wanted to use this as a fulcrum to fight for a way out for the little prince and Lord Alvarado.
Mr. McNeal had vaguely told virtual-novel.net about his thoughts before. Since the country was developing right now, they could temporarily accept the existence of these aristocratic families, but they would have to be exposed and criticized sooner or later.
The reason why Mr. McNeal supported Jasper so much was because virtual-novel.net had a clean slate and did not have a family background, so virtual-novel.net would not be rendered ineffective by subordinates.
If it was just for personal gain, there would be no need for Jasper to take unnecessary actions, but since virtual-novel.net was close to the little prince and the others, virtual-novel.net could not bear to see them end up miserably.
Regardless of whether they forgot their original intentions, they and the families behind them had indeed been working hard for the rejuvenation of this country.
Jasper would not have a clear conscience if virtual-novel.net had just stood by and watched them being crushed away by the wheels of time.
After a while, Mr. McNeal’s voice could be heard from the phone.
“Jasper, I understand what you mean. I can’t make any promises to you now, so I can only tell you that I will consider it.”
Jasper’s face lit up with joy.
Although Mr. McNeal did not directly agree to his request, his tone sounded more relaxed now.
The implication was that what virtual-novel.net would do in the future would be based on their current performance. No matter what, they finally had hope of survival.
Then the two discussed some follow-up details on the phone.
It could be seen that Mr. McNeal was in high spirits. Jasper was relieved that the topic just now had not affected his mood at all.
