“Atticus, you really are a ferocious viper. It’s unwise to provoke a person like you.”
Even though Morrison was saying that, his face was filled with satisfaction and excitement. When he thought about the tragic situation that Jasper was about to face, Morrison wanted to run to Jasper right away and watch him gradually get pushed to the brink of death.

At this moment, Jasper was on a video call with the little prince and Jake.
“Since the United States has approved it, it means that we have at least a week of breathing time.”
Although Jake’s tone was uplifting, Jasper and the little prince did not have any joyful expressions on their faces.
“Jasper, the seven days period is not long, but it’s not short either. If nothing changes as we move forward with the current situation, all of our positions will be liquidated when seven days are up, and the entire foundation will go bankrupt immediately.”
Jasper nodded upon hearing what the little prince said. “I understand, so I will try my best to find a solution in these seven days.”
Jasper tapped his finger on the desktop and looked up at Jake. “What is the current loss throughout all of JW Foundafion?”
Jake grimly replied, “It’s huge.”
“In the beginning, we made a lot of money through the Sun Dollars foreign exchange market. At that time, the total value was close to 130 billion US Dollars, which happened to be about 1 trillion Somer Dollars.”
“But now, our books indicate that the funds that have been liquidated have reached 28.6 billion US Dollars. We have completely lost this chunk of money.”
“The ones that are not liquidated yet have reached a floating loss of 60 billion US Dollars when the accounts were locked!”
Jasper said softly, “In other words, now we have lost three-fifths of our funds.”
Jake said as he nodded heavily, “Indeed.”
“Great.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly. “They almost broke the backbone of JW Foundation this time. If it hadn’t been for the account lock, I am afraid we wouldn’t have been able to recover even if we wanted to.”
“Do you have any good ideas moving forward?” The little prince asked.
“I have two.”
Jasper sorted out his train of thoughts and voiced his plans, “First, both JW Foundation and JW Capital need major good news now to stimulate market confidence.”
“Second, try to draw in all the capital and power that can be enticed by us both domestically and abroad, just as the great historical figure said, we should unite all the forces that can be brought together.”
The little prince frowned slightly and said, “I don’t really have any opinion on these two points, but the problem is that under the current circumstances, the second point is simply too difficult to implement.”
“We have already gathered most of the strength that can be united when JW Foundation was established. Now that JW Foundation is in crisis, there will be many people gilding the lily, but how many of them will provide help in our hour of need?”
Jasper smiled and said, “There are still some entities out there. Their power is far stronger than the capital we attracted before.”
