Up until that moment, Zack had no idea what the Law family and Jasper wanted him and his team to
do. However, the shocking sight of 40 billion in cash signified that a storm had begun to brew over
Harbor Stocks.
He did not dare ask nor think into it, throwing away all thoughts that he should not have. He waited in
focus for Jasper’s next order.
Just then, the doors opened to reveal Zachary and Michael walking in with solemn expressions on their
faces.
“How’s it going, Jasper?” Zachary asked.
Jasper relayed the information he had gotten from Jack.
“Weresoft… is splitting up?” Zachary asked in disbelief.
Michael was more sensitive, for he had switched to working in the finance industry, after all. “It’s going
to affect a lot of people.”
Jasper nodded. “From my understanding of Weresoft, there’s no way they’ll be so willing to split just
because they’re forced to. However, once the news gets out, then it will come with drastic effects.”
“Will this be what induces the popping of the bubble?” Michael asked.
Jasper shook his head. “It’s one of them, but unless I have it wrong, another reason will appear very
soon. I don’t know what it’ll be, but it’ll definitely appear today. By then, the future will be set.”
The fuse leading to the first world war was the Sarajevo assassination incident. There were too many
contradictions, and conflicting forces were still keeping up the delicate balance. Yet one falling leaf was
all it would take for this balance to topple and crash.
Weresoft losing their lawsuit was the first leaf, and the balance had already been toppled. It was still a
slow process, but the next leaf would undoubtedly trigger the figurative avalanche.
“Mr. Laine, there’s a shift in Ardent Tech’s stock prices! It just dropped by 4%!”
Zack’s voice suddenly cut through Jasper and the other two’s conversation.
The three turned to look at the screen, and before their eyes were Ardent Tech’s stock prices on the
large LED display, dropping a heavy 4% as if being axed.
At that moment, Harbor City’s investors had yet to realize the impending storm. Many merely assumed
that it was a conspiracy within the stocks.
However, people with sharper senses began to realize that something was different this time.
“Keep watching and monitoring,” Jasper ordered without turning back.
The first change brought the second and the third changes.
“Sunny Internet’s stock prices dropped by 3.5%!”
“Carefree Net’s stock prices dropped by 3.6%!”
“The entire internet sector had an overall drop of 3%!”
“Its Hansel Index keeps dropping! It’s currently at 17,970 points!”
Updates after updates were reported.
The atmosphere within the large living room slowly turned nervous and heavy.
Michael and Zachary looked at Jasper, waiting for him to react.
Jasper did not say anything.
A quick moment later, Michael asked, “The stock prices are already dropping, Mr. Laine. Won’t we start
investing?”
“Not yet.”
Jasper shook his head and replied, “It’s not the time to start investing yet. There’s no way the idle funds
and organizations dealing these internet stocks will go down without a fight.”
Michael frowned. “But Mr. Laine, if the future is already set, it’ll be too late when we do start investing.”
“You’re welcome to take your funds out if you don’t trust my judgment, Mr. Lane,” Jasper replied calmly.
Michael frowned and spoke distastefully, “So you’re going to be so stubborn?”
