“It’s the capitalists from the west! It’s definitely one of the financial big shots from the west. No ordinary person would have skills and courage like that! It’s going to be a decisive battle!”
Jake’s face had turned red from either excitement or fear. He roared at Jasper, “Hurry! The opponent’s main force has shown up. They’re going to fight a decisive battle with you in the next second. Put down your composition and make an opening right now! You have to protect the 40 stocks from just now with your life!”
Jasper did not pay attention to Jake who was screaming frantically. On the other hand, he asked Zack, “How much is the purchase price of the 40 stocks earlier?”
Zack immediately answered, “Volume’s at 40%.”
“Cancel all the remaining orders that have not reached a deal.”
When he said that, everyone in the room was shocked.
That was right. In a stock transaction, when you bought a stock with a price, you needed someone who was selling with the same price to get a successful transaction. If not, it could be canceled at any time.
However, would Jasper not be giving a helping hand to the enemy if he canceled the transactions at this crucial moment?
“Are you f*cking insane?”
After feeling shocked, Jake looked at Jasper with disdain on his face. “Do you even know the stock market? How can you cancel at this moment?
“Is this part of your own plans and arrangements? Are you the f*cking spy that was sent here by the opponent?
“Get lost if you don’t know anything. Stop harming yourself and the others over here. Don’t consign yourself to eternal damnation because you want to be a poser!”
At this moment, an officer from the government of Harbor City said solemnly, “Mr. Laine, I’m not doubting your decision, but I think you can give everyone a reason why you’re doing this.”
“Do you know about traps?”
Jasper said insipidly. “If we fight with them for real, even if we win, Harbor Stocks will be in ruins. So, we have to set a trap, and in this trap, we need some bait. My bait is over here.”
While he said that, Jasper lifted his hand to point at the 40 stocks on the digital screen that were plummeting frantically because of his cancellation.
When everyone was pondering about what Jasper had said, Zack raised his voice.
“The Hansel Index has fallen under 7,800 points!”
