“Hahaha! “Kaze Lee, do you still have money in your account? You better take them out to save yourself. “If you are any slower, you can’t even save yourself or your family.” As the share price plummeted, Sirius, Mason, and the others started to gloat at Kaze. One billion acted as a leveraging effect, and it was much stronger than the thirty million. Geranium Stock Exchange grew tumultuous as the share price fluctuated. Almost all the investors joined the short-selling spree as no one could stop the share price from dropping. Looking at the scene, Darcy and the others frowned and their expressions turned gray. Then, several sedans arrived at the entrance. “Kaze Lee, you must be out of options. Who are you calling to save you now?” “What about the Butterworth Queen? Your supporter from the military? I thought you were a Nepo Baby and a live-in husband, where are they now?” As the people from the sedans came out with fruit baskets, Mason thought they were there to cong
Mason did not consider the possibility of them choosing to support Kaze. Back at the Quint family’s place, he had made it clear that anyone who supported Kaze would be opposing the main Quint family. Who else would risk making an enemy of the Quint family after the announcement? To his surprise, the three families showed up under pressure just to support Kaze. They also arrived with two billion in combined funds, which should be everything the families had. Had they no idea that this was not just a simple investment or capitalism game? By doing this, they stood against the Ridgesouth Quint and the Geranium Lyfe, making enemies with two titans. Now, even the factions from different cities were shocked. They could see the anxiety and worry in the Lilyroseans’ eyes. There was no way the Liliyroseans had no idea about the consequences. Yet they had made their choices and decided to support Kaze unconditionally. What kind of charm Kaze possessed that he could influence
“Thank you. I’ll spare the speech for another day.” Kaze waved at them without looking back. “Snow, arrange for them to be seated.” Employees of Perfect World Group brought chairs over and served them tea. Bernard and the others were treated like VIPs. Looking at the scene, Mason and his group felt terrible. They arrived for some time already but the employees did not provide them with a single chair, and they were left standing throughout the confrontation. The people from the guild, who should be less powerful and wealthy than they were, got seated and treated like VIPs. “Vikroms, Logmans, Joestars, the whole Lilyrose Commerce Guild, you guys are dead!” Mason was burning with jealousy and grievance. He could not do anything about Kaze at the moment so he lashed out at the others. Without further ado, he pulled his phone out as his expression turned pale. “The Lilyrose Commerce Guild, Vikroms, Logmans, and Joestars, I want them all banned right now! Contact their p
How many times was it? Judging from Mason’s intention, he would never stop until he completely got rid of Perfect World Group. It seemed difficult for Kaze and his company to make a comeback from this. Suddenly, another car arrived in front of the company. Could it be another of Kaze’s supporters? Everyone in the lobby instinctively turned to the entrance. The car was a Yuber. If the person had to call a ride to come here to support Kaze, how powerful or rich could the person be? The three families with the heads had their cars even though they were sedans. Then, everyone saw an old man with silver hair exited the car. The old man came out in a hurry, wearing a doctor’s robe and a surgical mask, which shielded his face. No one was able to see his face. The man strode into the lobby and went straight up to Kaze. He smiled and said, “Kaze, I just finished surgery and I heard your company is having a problem, so I came to show my support. “But I don’t have that much
“You don’t know who you are speaking to. You are still a young man yet you harbor such wicked thoughts. I don’t think you need your arms anymore, you are going to use them to hurt people. Let them rot just like that.” The old man was fearless and his eyes showed a hint of anger. “Stop it!” Mason immediately stopped his son and scrutinized the man. He bowed and asked, “I’d like to know which hospital you work in?” He was no idiot. Judging from the man’s composed and calm manner, he could tell that the man had some background. The man did not look at Mason, or answer him. He walked past Mason and went over to Kaze. “Professor Whiteman, I thought you were having an operation in Midstate. What are you doing here?” Kaze asked with a welcoming smile. Professor Whiteman pulled his mask off and replied, “Like I said, I’m here to support you.” “What? Professor Whiteman? Professor Sam Whiteman?” When the people saw the professor’s face with a healthy blush, the whole lobby went
The reporters quickly took photos and sent them to their editors for a quick release. After the news got out, it spread like wildfire on the internet, especially in the finance sector. When most of the individual investors learned of the news, they quickly re-entered the share market and invested even more in Rove’s stocks. The whole share market shifted greatly. The price that plummeted, which also shattered people’s dreams, surged once more and rose faster than ever. Soon, the share price surged to almost a hundred gils from its original price of 55 gils. Judging from the exponential speed, it would be a matter of time before it hit one hundred. No one would have thought the share price would surge after the Quint family invested billions to short-sell it. Quite the opposite, as soon as the professor arrived, the share price skyrocketed. Mason and his men looked gloomy. Nothing was more embarrassing than this. They invested billions to take down Rove, yet their
The Quints and the Lyfes would become the butt of many jokes among the most prominent families if they were to cancel Sam. To gain favor with Sam, these families were happy to backstab the Quints and the Lyfes when it came down to it. The crowd was stunned by Sam’s arrival. Another fleet of cars pulled up outside Perfect World Group. The cars kept coming, and everybody was numb to it by now. They could not be bothered to observe. The crowd took their guesses, wondering if the incoming group would take Kaze’s or the Quints’ and the Lyfes’ corner. “A00001 with South River State registered number plate.” The car plate number, when announced, sent a shockwave across the hall. Everybody was aware of the significance behind the car plate number. Only one individual would use that specific number in the entire South River State. It was Loid, the governor of the South River State. Word circulated about Loid’s transfer to Ridgesouth. Still, Loid was the leader of the S
People quickly figured out who Jared was. Upon learning that Jared was in the running to become Lilyrose’s mayor, many made faces. They thought it was a done deal for Mason to become the mayor. Things were getting interesting as Jared showed up, brought by the governor’s son. Reading the room, Mason came right out to quash any speculations. To his surprise, Jared said nothing about his purpose there and brought up his wife, Fanny, instead. Mason studied his competitors well, so he knew about Fanny. He had a sinking feeling in his gut. Nevertheless, Mason was quick to pick himself up again. Going along with the same strategy, Mason took the proactive role and cut to the chase. He looked at Fanny and said with a smile, “You must be Fanny Hiden from Harrowdale. I have heard great things about you in the South. I didn’t expect to see you here.” Mason spoke graciously. However, his words revealed a surprising piece of information about Fanny. She was of the Harr
