The little prince also smiled bitterly. “In fact, I think he is more suited for politics. It’s a pity for him to be in business with such talent.”
“Haha!”
Lord Alvarado said, “Won’t we lose out on a lot of fun if he goes into politics?”
“You’re right,” the little prince said in amusement.
After Jasper finished speaking, he turned and went back to the command room.
Meanwhile, the cheers behind him immediately quieted down. Everyone tensed up and sat back at their desks. They were staring at the various software that had been opened on their computers while waiting for the last few minutes to pass.
When Jasper came to the door of the command room, the countdown on the large electronic screen jumped to o the moment he pushed the door open.
“Here we go!”
Someone said in a tone that suppressed their excitement and emotions.
It was like a signal. Everyone’s eyes lit up a s they stared straight at the electronic screens.
The electronic screen froze for less than a second and then the United States stock market immediately appeared.
In an instant, it was as if someone had pressed play on a paused video as the massive streams of data began to refresh.
Numbers representing wealth began to flicker on the screen.
Every time it increased or decreased, it meant that a large number of funds were completing their transactions.

Jake’s voice could be heard.

from the previous prediction.
Even though they were prepared for this, everyone could not help but lift their brows when they saw the evaporation of the wealth which surpassed one hundred billion after it had been converted into Somer Dollars.
Moses, who was experiencing this kind of battle for the first time, lowered his voice and said, “It feels as if that’s not real money. So more than 100 billion is gone just like that?”
Simson said, “Most people can’t afford to play this kind of game.”
