Mitch shrugged when he heard Fabian and said, “Mr. Atticus, maybe we really are being too sensitive. After all, Jasper isn’t some god, and he can misinterpreted the trend. Didn’t we also think that he had some ulterior motive before as well?
“But there’s no way war could break out in the United States right now, and unless aliens attack tomorrow and causes the global financial system to crash, there’s no way he’d get to turn the tides.”
“We’ve investigated for so many days but came up empty handed. Not only us, but even the people on Wall Street are confused as well. Maybe it’s really as the others’ think, maybe he did go crazy.”
“Misinterpreted the trend?”
Fabian scoffed and said, “If the situation was a complicated one, then I’d believe you if you tell me he made the wrong decision. But even an idiot can tell that the market is booming. There’s no way this can be explained as a simple mistake.”
Mitch was stunned for a moment too and asked instinctively, “Then, what should we do now?”
“Nothing.” Fabian’s expression turned indifferent.
“We continue with the original plan. If he invests more, then we’ll follow. I’d like to see how much money he can take out!”
It was 9th September 2001 when Fabian and Mitch decided on this plan. It was a sunny day and there were no clouds in the clear sky.
The following day, Henry arrived at Southeast Province.
“Hey hey hey! Young Master Law is here!”
Henry stood in the airport in high spirits.
When he saw Jasper standing far away and looking at him with a crescent eyed smile, elation graced Henry’s features and he immediately grabbed his bag before running over.
“Don’t say anything, here is all my money!”
Henry handed Jasper a bank card excitedly.
“There’s 100 million inside.”
Jasper was shocked. “100 million? How did you get your hands on so much money?”
