This sudden appearance of funds not only completely kicked Fabian out of the game, even Softwin and Quantum Fund were screwed.
“How can this be?”
Inside Softwin’s headquarters, Echo watched the candlestick chart of the Sun Dollars foreign exchange that looked as if it had been beheaded. Cold sweat started pouring out from his body like there was a full power showerhead spraying above him.
Echo, whose mouth was dry and hands and feet were cold, felt as though his legs were floating, as if he was stepping on a cloud. The candlestick chart in front of him felt so unreal.
“M-Mr. Welch.”
A subordinate ran to him in a hurry and said with an unpleasant expression on his face, “The chairman is here.”
With just four words, the coldness of Echo’s hands and feet quickly spread throughout his body. He felt as if he had committed a heinous crime and had nowhere to run. Right now, he was being escorted to the execution ground to wait for the final bullet.
“W-Where is he?” Echo asked dryly.
“I’m already here.”
Behind him was an extremely deep and angry voice. Echo’s entire body shook when he heard that. Then, he quickly turned around to look at the old man who was striding toward him.
Even though the other party was short, his powerful body gave Echo an unparalleled sense of oppression.
This old man was Myles Shon, who was deified in the investment circle of Sunrise Land.
Myles strode up to Echo. Disregarding Echo’s desperate position as he almost laid flat on the ground out of humility, Myles raised his hand and slapped Echo heavily across the face.
This slap was very powerful.
Echo did not even get the chance to react. Even if he did, he would not dare to hide. After hearing the loud and crisp slap, Echo let out a muffled groan. Then, he spun on the spot twice before falling to the ground.
Bright red blood dripped on his white shirt and tie. The scene looked extremely gory.
“You!”
Myles pointed at Echo who had fallen in front of him and roared angrily.
“You took the money from the investment bank and helped the Somerland people attack Sun Dollars! You are the greatest sinner in the nation of Sunrise Land! ”
Echo could not even pay attention to his pain. He covered his face and cried out, “Sir, I was deceived by that b*stard Jasper with his dirty trick. I didn’t know how sinister and vicious he was. He is a beast!”
“Every word you insult him with now is the best compliment to him. If you weren‘t so stupid and brainless, how could you be deceived by him? The investment bank’s money comes from all walks of life in Sunrise Land, but you are attacking the currency system of our own country with the money they gave you and betraying the trust of the board of directors. Let me tell you, if you were not from the Trider family, you’d be dragged to kneel at the door of the investment bank to apologize to them by disemboweling yourself! Even so, don’t think you’ll be fine.”
“I formally announce that you are hereby dismissed from all your positions in Softwin Investments. I will temporarily personally assume your position. After this, you will return to your own family to accept punishment. Don’t forget, your family wealth is spread throughout Sunrise Land. Once Sun Dollars collapse, your family will lose out bad. Think about how you should explain this to your elders and the citizens!”
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Echo was still terrified when all this actually happened.
