”Mr. Atticus, Jasper stopped attacking.”
Fabian slowly let out a sigh of relief after he heard his men’s voice.
“How is it? How much did we lose?”
Fabian walked up and asked.
The man’s face was pale white. Although Jasper had stopped attacking, there was no sign of relief on his face.
He swallowed his saliva and spoke in a cautious tone, “Jasper’s attack caused us to lose 180 million US Dollars. Totaling up the others, today we lost a total sum of 1.5 billion US Dollars.”
Fabian’s facial expression froze at once.
There was a wave of indescribable anger building up within his chest.
No matter how wealthy Fabian was, losing 1.5 billion US Dollars within a day was unbelievable. Converting it to Harbor Dollars, it would be a sum of 12 billion Harbor Dollars!
The whole Atticus family would be in pain dealing with such heavy losses, much less Fabian himself.
It was fortunate that the initial sum of money had been contributed by multiple parties. However, even so, Fabian lost at least 7 billion Harbor Dollars. He was the fund’s largest shareholder after all.
7 billion!
The raging fire within his chest was flared up as if it had been doused with a bottle of gas.
“A*shole! Jasper, I’ll make you pay for this!”
Fabian could not hold back any longer after suppressing it the whole night. He eventually erupted.

“Mr. Laine, mission accomplished!”
Jake’s voice resonated from the computer.
“They’ve lost at least 1.5 billion US Dollars. The last wave of attacks caused them to lose 8 of their positions. They couldn’t cover up anymore! Hahaha…”
Jasper smiled after listening to Jake.
“Well done!”
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, the market was already closing.
A whole day of continuous downward trendlines finally stopped as trading hours ended. However, everyone knew that when the market reopened the next day, it would resume plummeting.
The wise could see that NASDAQ and the US stock market were doomed.
There was no way to stop the downtrend of the market. The more it dropped, the higher the rate of decline, and the more intense the selling off process became. This was all because the stockholders were following the market trend.
One day was not enough to stop the sell orders. It had not even reached the climax yet. Most of the stock prices hit the limit down before the stockholders managed to sell them off today.
Today was just the beginning. When the stock market reopened, the prices would open at the limit down price, sealing the fate of these doomed stocks.
The situation would be even more violent the next day.
“Total profit gained today is 2.864 billion US Dollars. Our total funds reached a sum of 5.9 billion US Dollars!”
Jake’s unbelieving tone came from the computer. Although he had witnessed it himself, the situation was too exciting and thrilling. When everything had ended, Jake took a look at the accounting system and realized the profit number had reached a terrifying point.
“Total trading hours was 7 hours, but there was a total of 2.9 billion profit. That means we were able to make 410 million each hour, or 7 million US Dollars every minute!”
“Converting to Somer Dollars, it’ll be 56 million!”
Jake’s voice was trembling with excitement.
“Mr. Laine, we definitely broke the world’s record with this profitability and speed. It’s scary!”
Jasper was slightly excited when he heard those numbers.
A capital of 26 billion, of which 9 billion was his own. The 9 billion generated him a profit of 8 billion.
Now the 26 billion had grown to approximately 47 billion, while his 9 billion had become 17 billion. There was only one word to describe it, terrifying!
“F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!”
Henry was even more excited than Jasper.
“What about my 1 billion, how much is it worth now?”
Henry was busy asking while his face turned red from his nervousness.
Jake answered him immediately.
“Mr. Law, your 1 billion has become 1.8 billion.”
“Hahaha..!”
Henry burst out laughing with his hands on his waist.
“I’m so f*cking awesome. It took a while for me to get those profits, I’m going back to tell my father. If he tries to discipline me anymore, I’m going to branch out on my own, hahaha!”
Jasper clapped his hands, smiled, and said, “Alright, dawn is coming, everyone take a rest. A bonus equal to your annual salary will be given to everyone here. Jake, you did well, and you worked hard. Bring home double your annual salary as a bonus later.”
There were always rewards for good performances and punishments for mistakes. Although the matter had not fully ended yet, it did not stop Jasper from giving some benefits to his men to let them taste the sweetness of hard work. Hopefully, with this, they would put in more effort while working for him.
The sound of Jake and his team cheering loudly was heard on the other end of the video call.
Jake smiled too. Although he had already achieved financial freedom, his net value was not anything over the top. Therefore, Jasper’s reward was undoubtedly generous.
No one would ever complain about having more money, and Jasper’s reward was recognition of their hard work.
“I’ll help the others to thank you, Mr. Laine…”
“Alright, take a rest. The US stock market is opening tomorrow afternoon, and we’ll have to stay up the whole night again. Get enough rest, take some supplements, and order as much as you like I’m paying the bill.”
Jasper hung up right after he finished talking. He ignored the cheering and howling from the other end of the line.
He turned around, planning to celebrate with Henry, but found that the fellow had fallen asleep on the sofa. Jasper smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then he walked toward the window and saw that the sky was getting brighter.
A time difference of 13 hours. The United States closed the stock market at 4.30 PM, which was 5.30 in the morning in Somerland.
However, Jasper could not sleep just yet. He covered Henry with a blanket, went to another room, and switched on the computer to follow up with news from United States officials.
Jasper knew that the officials would respond, and the responses would affect the stock market forcefully and rapidly.
The victory from the first day was just the beginning. It was his return from accumulating all the funds and releasing it little by little. The real game would come be after the first day.
This time, the amount that Jasper could gain depended on how long the market continued on a downward spiral.
The memories from his past life were still inside his head, but Jasper would not rely too much on them, as he was unable to confirm the differences that would occur in this lifetime.
When Jasper opened a United States news website, his phone vibrated for a brief moment. It was not a phone call, but a message.
He had gotten a message from Conrad’s secret number.
“Be careful of the Empire Meet!”
