Sitting on the chair in the command center, Jasper truly felt lost.
He had never felt like this before no matter how complicated the problems he faced in the past were.
He suddenly remembered a sentence that circulated the internet from before he was reincarnated.
Peace and comfort have never existed. Someone else is just carrying your burdens for you.
Jasper used to think that he was miles away from being one of those big heroes o f the country, as he had never seen himself as someone capable of giving everything for the country and its people.
He was more inclined to believe that he was just an ordinary person. Someone who was a little selfish and did what benefited himself the most. He was willing to contribute to society and his race, but only as long as it did not clash with his personal gains.
At this moment, however, Jasper suddenly realized how narrow-minded he had been in comparison to the older generation like Old Master Law who had lived through the war.

Jasper won’t suffer any losses, and no one will fault him for not helping. However, if he enters Harbor Stocks, he is to take responsibility if he fails to defend the market, and he’ll have t o be responsible if the mainland’s class A shares market crashes.”
