Chapter 193

“Rubbish! If we don’t take it down, then are we going to watch them raise the market? We’ll all be finished if the Hansel Index increases, isn’t it?”

Bob yelled angrily, and his saliva almost drenched the manager’s face.

“We can’t let him raise the market!”

Bob’s eyes were shining with a sinister glint.

“Once the market is stable or even has a glimpse of a rally, then those investors will think the time for bottom fishing is here. When they make a comeback, then we’ll be in huge trouble!”

When Bob thought about this, he yelled fiercely, “Continue to smash the price! I refuse to believe that he has so much money to play with me!”

…

The parents of the four richest families were sitting together and discussing in Clark’s house.

“We can’t watch Harbor Stocks crash. I suggest all of us take out some funds. We have to stabilize the market.”

The Ship King, who was also the head of the Boyles, said with a serious expression on his face.

“You’re right, but we don’t even know who’s the other party or how much funds they have. What if we fall into their trap if we just do this blindly?” Kennedy said indifferently.

“What should we do, then? Are we just going to watch it happen and do nothing? Everyone out there is waiting for us to say something,” Spencer Boyle said bluntly.

“Please don’t be impatient.”

Clark chuckled and turned his head to look at Zachary. He said, “Old Man Law, what do you think?”

Zachary had a calm expression on his face, and he said calmly, “I support the Boyles’ opinion. As the four richest families, we have to be the examples. On the other hand, we have to communicate with the government as well. They can’t just allow the economy of Harbor City to fall back!”

At this moment, Clark’s secretary knocked on the door before coming in. She quickly said something to Clark.

Clark made a noise of surprise that attracted the attention of the other three.

After waving his hand to dismiss his secretary, Clark said profoundly, “I think someone’s one step ahead of us.”

While he said that, Clark turned on the television and ordered someone to connect it to Harbor Stocks Market.

Immediately, the situation of the market appeared on the television.

Right now, it was 13 minutes to closing.

The Hansel Index was stable at 7,820 points and there were two large amounts of funds going at each other surrounding this point.

“Is someone protecting the market?” Spencer said in surprise.

Clark nodded and said, “My secretary told me while we were in the middle of the meeting, there was an injection of funds and the other party has been protecting the market since 7,813 points. They’ve been going at each other for the entire morning. Not only did the points not fall, it even increased by seven points.

“Now, everyone out there is guessing who this person is. Nobody has any idea who’s spending the money now,” Clark said profoundly.

At this moment, the expressions on Zachary and Kennedy’s faces changed subtly.

Of course, Zachary knew that the person who was protecting the market now was Jasper.

There was a hint of comfort in his eyes.

On the other hand, Kennedy was conflicted.

He did not expect that Bob would be able to mess this up when he was out having a meeting.

They had so many funds but they still let the other party successfully protect the market.

“Who’s this person?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Kennedy asked quickly. He wanted to find out who this person was right now more than anyone.

“No idea.”

Clark shook his head and said gleefully, “But since someone’s ahead of us, then we can’t hesitate anymore. If not, people will be disappointed.”

Everyone looked at each other and reached a mutual agreement.

Even though Kennedy was extremely reluctant, he did not dare to show it. He could only say that he agreed with this while going against his wishes.

After a while, the morning market closed.

Bang!

In the villa, Bob slammed down on the screen violently. He roared, “F*ck! Who is that person?

“Who among you can tell me why not only did you fail to make the points go down, but you even walked right into the other party’s trap and lost a few hundred millions?”
