Life at the Top

Chapter 204

“It’s the capitalists from the west! It’s definitely one of the financial big shots from the west. No ordinary person would have skills and courage like that! It’s going to be a decisive battle!”

Jake’s face had turned red from either excitement or fear. He roared at Jasper, “Hurry! The opponent’s main force has shown up. They’re going to fight a decisive battle with you in the next second. Put down your composition and make an opening right now! You have to protect the 40 stocks from just now with your life!”

Jasper did not pay attention to Jake who was screaming frantically. On the other hand, he asked Zack, “How much is the purchase price of the 40 stocks earlier?”

Zack immediately answered, “Volume’s at 40%.”

“Cancel all the remaining orders that have not reached a deal.”

When he said that, everyone in the room was shocked.

That was right. In a stock transaction, when you bought a stock with a price, you needed someone who was selling with the same price to get a successful transaction. If not, it could be canceled at any time.

However, would Jasper not be giving a helping hand to the enemy if he canceled the transactions at this crucial moment?

“Are you f*cking insane?”

After feeling shocked, Jake looked at Jasper with disdain on his face. “Do you even know the stock market? How can you cancel at this moment?

“Is this part of your own plans and arrangements? Are you the f*cking spy that was sent here by the opponent?

“Get lost if you don’t know anything. Stop harming yourself and the others over here. Don’t consign yourself to eternal damnation because you want to be a poser!”

At this moment, an officer from the government of Harbor City said solemnly, “Mr. Laine, I’m not doubting your decision, but I think you can give everyone a reason why you’re doing this.”

“Do you know about traps?”

Jasper said insipidly. “If we fight with them for real, even if we win, Harbor Stocks will be in ruins. So, we have to set a trap, and in this trap, we need some bait. My bait is over here.”

While he said that, Jasper lifted his hand to point at the 40 stocks on the digital screen that were plummeting frantically because of his cancellation.

When everyone was pondering about what Jasper had said, Zack raised his voice.

“The Hansel Index has fallen under 7,800 points!”

Everyone looked over with ghastly expressions. The Hansel Index on the digital screen showed 7,620 points.

A fund of 100 billion that crashed the market combined with Jasper’s cancellation was one disaster on top of another. The Hansel Index eventually fell below 7,800 points.

It was the lowest in history!

“This is my bait. Do you dare come at me at 7,600 points?” Jasper muttered.

“You’re gambling with the economy of Harbor City!” Jake yelled.

“If you do this and fail, Harbor Stocks will be in ruins. You’re insane!”

While he said that, Jake walked to the heads of the four rich families who had been silent this entire time. He pointed at Jasper and said, “He’s a lunatic. I suggest that we strip him of his authority to conduct. Let me do it! He’s from Mainland, and it’s in his bones that he won’t care about the economy of Harbor City. He’s just messing around without a plan!

“Tell him to get lost now! I’m the only one who can save the economy of Harbor City!” Jake yelled loudly.

Clark’s face was as calm as a pool of water. He turned to look at Zachary and did not say anything.

Zachary said in a deep voice, “However, if he succeeds, he’ll be able to take care of this crisis instantly. I think it’s worth it!”

Spencer shook his head and said, “I’ll listen to you guys.”

At this moment, Kennedy secretly wrote a text message on his phone without batting an eyelid and sent it out. Then, he said flatly, “Why don’t we continue observing?”

Clark nodded and said, “Since we’ve chosen him, we have to believe him.”

While he said that, Clark peered at Jake. “Please be quiet.”

Jake was extremely disappointed and furious. He pointed at Jasper and said, “You son of a b*tch, I want to watch how you’re going to die with my own eyes!

“If Harbor Stocks collapse, the economy of Harbor City will fall back a few years.

“You’re being so pretentious now but soon, you’ll become the target of scorn! From NôvelDrama.Org.

“When that time comes, you’ll only have yourself to blame because you were too arrogant and conceited!

“You’re just a country bumpkin, so you should know your place and stay in the poor valley in Mainland. Why did you come to Harbor City asking for death?”
