“Escalate this to a dispute between the East and the West?” The smile on Echo’s face dissipated and was replaced with a solemn expression.
Echo was not a fool, and that was why he was able to get to his current position. Such a huge thing would involve too many people. He could not involve himself in this.
Therefore, Echo‘s primary consideration at this time was his personal safety if he raised this significant matter to the higher-ups.
He pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled and said, “Interesting.”
Looking at Conrad, Echo said, “Do you know what will happen if Fabian does this?”
Conrad said calmly after nodding, “Of course, once the plan is successful, we will make Wall Street hate Jasper. Then, Jasper will inevitably be crushed into fine powder in the first wave of retaliatory attacks from Wall Street.”
“No matter how powerful Jasper is, it is impossible to counter the strength of the entirety Wall Street. This power is enough to defeat any country in the world, let alone an individual.”
“Well, Wall Street will not be satisfied with a nobody like Jasper. So, what do you think they will do later?”
Upon hearing these words, Echo narrowed his eyes slightly and he was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he laughed, “You’ve seen this through. The anger of Wall Street will spread to the entire East. We can benefit from such a huge capital confrontation.”
“But you must also be aware that Fabian doesn’t care about this. He has never considered himself as someone from Somer anyway.”
“However, you are a native of Somer’s mainland and your family is also residing in the Southeast Province in Somer. Are you willing to turn traitor?”
Conrad said with a blank expression on his face, “Mr. Welch, we’re not in World War II 60 or 70 years ago. The global economy is now integrated and all of us must look forward. I’m just standing on the winner’s side.”
“Interesting, hahaha! Okay, you go back and tell Fabian that once he starts to act, I will follow up immediately. I accept this collaboration!”
Conrad smiled and said, “Now, I will discuss the specific process with Mr. Welch…”
An hour later, Conrad left the headquarters of Softwin Investments with a smile on his face.
While standing by the window of the office in the headquarters of Softwin Investments, Echo had his arms across his chest and a sneer on his face as he watched Conrad’s figure getting into a car after he left the building.
“Hehe, Somer descents. As expected, there is no shortage of such traitors in Somer at any time.”
At this moment, inside the car that was driving towards the airport, the smile on Conrad‘s face disappeared and was replaced by a venomous coldness.
Valentine was driving the car after having snuck here. As Conrad’s most trusted, and only, confidant now, Valentine knew everything Conrad had done. Hence, naturally, he also knew the purpose of Conrad’s trip.
He noticed Conrad’s icy face and the anger that was suppressed underneath his coldness. Currently, he looked like an iceberg on top of a volcano.
Valentine sighed.
“Mr. Monty, should we tell Jasper about this?”
Unexpectedly, Conrad shook his head and said, “No, at least not now.”
Valentine was taken aback and subconsciously said, “But what Fabian is doing now is too vicious. He is willing to bury so many people just to destroy Jasper.”
“Jasper is fine. Once the war spreads across the country, who will we become?”
“You’re also scared that I’ll become a traitor, right?” Conrad asked all ofa sudden.
Valentine had a bitter look on his face, and he shook his head. He answered, “I didn’t mean that.”
“I know you didn’t.” Conrad thought long and hard before continuing, “Val, you don’t understand. I feel so helpless now.”
“I think Fabian’s plan will be succeed.”
Conrad looked at the View of street that was flying past at high speed and said, “Jasper doesn’t realize this. He’s doing too much and he’s too arrogant.”
“It’s fine if he was just starting because his capital was not as huge back then. He attracted so much attention because of his early performance. Coincidentally, this huge thing that shocked the world happened at the most critical time. Everything’s too coincidental.”
“However, back then, nobody would listen to Jasper. What effect would such a small sum of money have?”
“Now, how much money has Jasper earned? I don’t know if that money belongs to him, but at least he’s truly in control of it.”
“It’s such a huge volume and it was enough to attract some real attention. I can promise you that there must be information surrounding him on the desks of the big shots on Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and even on the desks of the top officials of the United States.”
“Meanwhile, what does the United States lack right now? An opportunity and excuse to shift the people’s attention and grief away from this terrorist attack, and at the same time. to vent their anger.”
“What Fabian is doing right now is handing them this very reason they are looking for.”
“This is also the reason why I am afraid of Fabian’s foresight. Jasper and I underestimated Fabian.”
“At this point, Fabian’s foresight is more far reaching than any of ours.”
“The moment he provides this reason, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, or even the United States government will easily start this war.”
While listening to Conrad’s voice, Valentine felt his body gradually turning cold. A great terror struck him, and he felt as if he was falling into an frigid cellar.
“M-Mr. Monty, you mean, this capital war cannot be avoided?”
Valentine did not even realize that his voice was shaking.
Conrad answered calmly, “It’s meaningless to think too deeply about this. However, what I can be sure of is that if Fabian really does this, then his plan will surely succeed.”
“Why can’t we tell Jasper as soon as possible?”
Valentine said, aghast.
A cold smile appeared on Conrad’s lips. “What’s the use of telling him? Can he stop this?”
“Val, I told Echo something just now that is not against my conscience. I am just standing on the side of the winner. If this plan succeeds, Jasper can’t win.”
Conrad’s words made Valentine feel as if he was suffocating.
“What should we do then?”
Conrad said calmly, “We wait.”
“For what?”
This was the first time Valentine felt that he was not smart enough. Furthermore, he realized that he could not figure out what Conrad was thinking anymore.
