If Mira's instincts were correct, the major funds had already set their traps, lying in wait for their prey to show weakness before going in for the killing strike.

The only unknown variable was whether these titans had predicted that a pillar of Javenaire's banking system was about to collapse entirely.

Based on her past life, they hadn't seen it coming; otherwise, they wouldn't have suffered such catastrophic losses.

After parking the convoy, Hank instructed Vaughn to leave guards stationed by the vehicles.

Operating in hostile territory meant someone tampering with their cars was a very real threat.

Owen also placed a quick call to his mentor's contacts, arranging an extra layer of security for the perimeter.

Hank was well aware that Mira had formidable international backing. Since their goals aligned perfectly, he simply exchanged a knowing nod with Owen, keeping his thoughts to himself.

The group secured a massive private trading suite. Compared to the domestic exchanges back home, this facility was lightyears ahead in both technology and convenience.

Unlike the era to come, where millions could be moved from a laptop at home, handling monumental sums of capital currently required a physical presence on the exchange floor.

The suite's terminals were all running the cutting-edge Windows 98 operating system.

Consolidating the vast majority of the world's capital, the exchange existed solely to service the ultra-wealthy, which naturally meant providing top-tier technology.

The room featured a proprietary trading interface synced directly to the main floor's mega-screens, feeding them real-time financial updates and critical market data.

Lucian North asked.

"Just watch them for now. It's too early to make a move."

From what she remembered, Javenaire's major banking stocks were currently riding a massive upward surge. Retail investors and institutional players alike believed the momentum was unstoppable and were pouring in fresh capital.
