The markets reopened for trading at one o’clock in the afternoon.
With Yael’s instructions, QY International entered into the fray. Its huge market strength immediately accelerated the slaughter.
Jack sat quietly at the window and looked peacefully at the clouds. Slowly, the blue skies and white clouds became overcast with grey clouds.
Jack rubbed his nose and smiled, “The stock market must have been stirred by Yael to be like this weather. A storm must be brewing.”
Hughes family.
Killian’s face turned blue and stared at the computer screen like a poisonous snake.
George ground his teeth as his face turned blue and red. He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins throbbed.
Ivy leaned back at the chair with a pale face and smile of resignation.
The movement of the stocks as displayed on the computer screen was like a sharp dagger constantly stabbing into the three of them. Just like what Killian said, it was too late for them to cut and run.
Furthermore, the emergence of QY International was like the straw that broke the camel’s back. It basically surrounded and slaughtered Zooko Investment and Seava Capital. Who could have expected that their intended targets Jack and Yael could mount such a counter-attack?
The humiliation, anger, detest, shock, and all other emotions flooded the three of them. The temperature in the room became so cold that it chilled to the bones. Killian and the other two didn’t bother with the money. What they couldn’t tolerate was they had lost on both ends and Jack was the benefactor of the gains.
They had all previously lost to Jack and that was why the three potential heirs ganged up against Jack. But they now lost even when they combined their efforts.
“I won’t take this, I won’t accept this. We are the elite generation of the Hughes family. How can we lose to that bastard?” George clenched his teeth as his eyes turned bloodshot and continued insanely, “Why don’t we continue to press on? Let’s put in a few more billion into it. I’m sure we can turn it around!”
Smack! Killian slapped George with the back of his hand.
“You, when had you become so foolish?” George’s voice was cold and caused their hair to stand on ends.
George was stunned for a second by the slap and then erupted furiously, “Killian, even if you’re my brother you can’t simply hit me! You were the one who came up with this idea and dragged Ivy and me into it. Look at it now, not only have we lost our face, we’ve given Jack so many resources! How can you expect me to stomach this humiliation?”
The atmosphere became tense and explosive. Ivy continued to sit on the chair and didn’t hold back George.
Killian slowly stood up, pushed up his glasses, and scoffed, “There are a thousand ways for me to kill a boor like you!”
“How dare you!” George erupted furiously. He was already so frustrated with his losses and totally lost his self-control when Killian slapped him.
“Why don’t I dare?” Killian scoffed, “If you offend me, I’ll kill you even if you’re my brother.”
George’s heart sank and trembled when he heard what Killian said. When he looked into Killian’s eyes, he felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. He swallowed his saliva, controlled his impulsiveness, and sat back onto the chair.
Killian turned and looked at the computer and said coldly, “A defeat means a defeat! Billions of yuan aren’t anything to us. So long as the one-year deadline isn’t up, we still have countless opportunities to destroy him.”
Smash! After saying this, Killian punched and shattered the computer.
…
Only when you break the will of the opponent would you have peace in the future.
“Yes!” Yale laughed happily and said, “But this time we could turn the tide thanks to your contacts. If we didn’t have the Grand Freemasons and Jeweline Group, we couldn’t have done it even with QY International!”
Jack was stunned.
He grinned and then smiled, “Such a small company like Jeweline Group had gained so much from this. They must have reaped a huge profit today.”
“That small company must have a very skilled person.” Yael’s voice turned serious.
Skilled person? There truly must be someone skilled!
Jack laughed. Now that this was over, he should make a trip to the North. He chatted with Yael for a while, decided a time for tonight’s celebrations, and hung up the call.
Following that, he called Corbin and Lone Wolf in and immediately allocated fifty million yuan to be distributed to the staff as a bonus.
As soon as the news spread, all the office staff yelled out in celebrations and were filled with motivation. Fifty million yuan was a lot of money. There weren’t many staff at DT and if it was to be equally distributed, then each staff would receive at least a million yuan. Furthermore, this was an unexpected windfall to them!
Jack instructed Corbin and Lone Wolf before he left the company.
But as he reached the office lobby, all of Jack’s celebratory mood immediately vanished.
