As Jasper started the meeting, a top-secret message was delivered to Fabian in Harbor City through a special channel.
Fabian, who was about to rest, saw the news and jumped out of bed.
On the bed, Fabian’s new partner propped up her fair and tender upper body and said in dissatisfaction, “Mr. Atticus, what are you doing? Go to bed, I’m so sleepy.”
“Sleep? You can sleep in hell, you stupid b*tch!”
Suppressing the shock and excitement in his heart, Fabian lifted the quilt, put on his pajamas, took out a stack of money from the bedside table before throwing it at the woman. “Get dressed and f*ck off.”
The woman was extremely dissatisfied inside, but she still put on her clothes quickly for the sake of the stack of money. Then, she dared not say a word and left.
At this time, Fabian had already arrived in the study. He paced back and forth in place as he dialed a number. It took a long time for this call to be connected.
“Is it true?” Fabian asked directly.
On the other side of the phone, there was a calm voice. “You called me just to make sure I would not joke with you about such a big thing? Do you know that I was almost exposed because of your phone call?”
Fabian answered nonchalantly, “If this news is true, it’ll be worth it even if you get exposed right now.”
The person on the other end of the phone snorted and said, “I also just got the news. It’s definitely not fake. You should implement the countermeasures as soon as possible.”
After speaking, the person on the other end immediately hung up the phone.

After a while, the door to the meeting room was opened again. Dean wiped his hands and walked back. Jasper, who was talking, looked at Dean with a smile and asked, “Are you done?”
Dean apologized, “I‘m sorry, I’ve been having a stomachache over these past two days. I will try not to disturb the meeting.”
“It’s okay. It’s just nature’s call.”
After Jasper finished speaking, he turned and continued, “Okay, then we will continue with the meeting.”

In Harbor City, Fabian put down the phone and took a deep breath. After that, he made a call to Sunrise Land. This time it took even longer for the call to be connected.
Moreover, it was not Echo who picked up the phone.
“Where is Echo?” Fabian asked in a deep voice.
“Mr. Welch is testing. I am his secretary. You can tell me directly if there’s anything.” On the other end of the phone came a polite but businesslike voice.
Fabian yelled, “Go and ask Echo to answer the phone right away. Tell him he will suffer the consequences if I don’t hear his voice in 30 seconds!”
Fabian’s volume and tone might have frightened the secretary on the other end of the phone, as they hurriedly responded before fetching Echo immediately.
Soon, Fabian could hear Echo’s gasps on the phone. It sounded as if he had just exercised vigorously. “Say, Atticus, why are you looking for me in such a hurry so late at night? I’m very busy.”
“Are you busy ‘exercising’ with women in bed? You’re so useless.” Fabian sneered.
Echo said angrily, “Atticus, watch your attitude, I am not one of your subordinates.”
With a muffled snort, Fabian said, “Alright, I’m not here to fight with you. I’m here to tell you that Jasper plans to go long on Sun Dollars!”
“Long Sun Dollars?” Echo asked in surprise.
“Yes, according to reliable information, Jasper and Sentel from Coreana have reached an agreement. They plan to long Sun Dollars at the same time when the market opens tomorrow,” Fabian said.
Echo laughed wildly. “Is Jasper crazy? Why is he going long on Sun Dollars? Sunrise Land is the world‘s second-largest economy, and the Sun Dollars is extremely stable. Does he think he can go long just because he wants to? With his little amount of capital, isn’t he afraid of losing out?”
“Do you still not understand his character after fighting with him for so long? Since he’s going to do this, then it means he’s very confident in what will happen next. All we have to do is to destroy his plan and then completely trample him to death!”
Fabian’s eyes were sinister, and he continued coldly, “This time, the intelligence came during our hour of need. He has no idea that we can go short in the opposite direction and hedge his long orders. When that happens, he will be in a situation where he will be consigned to eternal damnation.”
