Skyward Aluminum’s share price began to fall without stopping until it arrived at the week’s first limit down.
It had been no more than three hours since the share price rose to the limit only to fall to the limit down. It was just in time for the morning market to close.
“We’ll wait for the afternoon market to open and buy everything there is. I’m going to forcefully raise that price at the limit down until it reaches the upper limit. That should be enough for 5% of shares.” Jasper leaned against the chair and smiled at Henry who was gaping in shock.
Henry gave him a thumbs up. “So this is what true power looks like.”
…
The unusual movement in the share market had also piqued the interest of Skyward Aluminum’s Investing Department that had been watching its company’s shares.
“Uh, Mr. Clark? Should we tell Mr. Monty about this?” A trader turned to ask Benjamin as he stared at the share price that had reached the limit down. Sweat was beading on his forehead.
Benjamin had a very weird expression on his face as well. The company’s shares had been rising to the limit when the market opened this morning and he naturally believed that it was because JW Capital was trying to buy more shares.
He was about to follow up on it when a sudden piece of news came to light. Then, the share price immediately plummeted.
The K-line for the share price was now in the shape of an upside-down V after reaching the summit only to plunge into a gorge.
“I’ve already called him, but it was the butler who picked up instead of Mr. Monty. He said that Mr. Monty is meeting with an important guest and can’t be disrupted no matter what.” Benjamin ground his teeth together. He could not help but feel like something big was going to happen.”
Pondering over it, there were still two more hours before the market opened in the afternoon, so Benjamin stated, “Watch the market during noon. Don’t do anything even when the market reopens without my instructions. I’m going over to Monty Manor.”
With that, Benjamin rushed to Monty Manor.
At the door to Monty Manor, Benjamin was drenched in sweat as he spoke to the butler, “Please tell Mr. Monty that Benjamin has come to see him. It’s really important.”
The butler frowned and replied distastefully. “What makes you think that Mr. Monty will meet you just because you want to see him? I told you on the phone, didn’t I? Mr. Monty is with a very important guest and cannot be disturbed no matter what.”
