Life at the Top

Chapter 50

“The bait has been bitten, now it’s time to rein in the net. Zayden’s in for a big loss this time.”

Jasper stated indifferently as he stared at the screen.

By his side, Wendy stared at Jasper’s side profile besottedly.

It was said that a man looked the best when he was buried in work. At that moment, in Wendy’s eyes, Jasper was glowing…

In just two days, the stocks in Jasper’s own account as well as both of Dawson and Wendy’s sub- accounts had arrived at a frightening amount.

Coupling that with how he had cornered Zayden yesterday and pulled the stock price to its limit again just now…

As of that moment, Jasper’s trap had been set.

All he had left to do was give Zayden the illusion that he was here to fight to the death, that he wanted all of Heavenly Dragon Real Estate’s stocks.

If that was the case, then he would become the dealer of Heavenly Dragon Real Estate’s stocks and Zayden would lose all decisive authority.

That was why Zayden could not give up.

It turned out just as Jasper expected.

Zayden had given his all just to get his hands on circulating stocks before Jasper could.

Just as everything got brutal, Jasper revealed his wretched fangs now that his set-up was complete.

Hidden in the jungle, the cheetah had finally gotten the chance to kill his opponent. There was no room for slip-ups.

He had caught Zayden completely by surprise when he sold his stocks.

It was as if two chess players were trying to out-plan the other, only for one of them to suddenly stand up and forfeit the game. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Zayden’s mind went blank as he watched Heavenly Dragon Real Estate’s stocks make a dive.

It was an actual dive that collapsed the platform and bombed the entire battlefield.

Zayden assumed that Jasper would fight to the death with him, so he had never expected the latter to suddenly pack his things and leave.

“The opponent is selling!”

“Our funds have all been absorbed to buy the stocks, Mr. Hanks.”

“We don’t have enough funds, Mr. Hanks! We’re screwed!”

The stock traders’ voices rang out incessantly as they urged Zayden. His chest was engulfed with darkness while his throat had gone dry and raspy. Zayden stared blankly at the backstage of the stock market.

This was the end of the 600 million coupled with the money he had invested yesterday, as well as the one billion dollars he had just put in today.

Just like that, 1.7 billion dollars had turned from liquid cash flow into fixed assets.

Jasper had just cashed in the highest list price in one go.

Staring at the few thousand dollars of funds he had left, Zayden’s complexion paled.

He finally understood.

Jasper had never intended to deal Heavenly Dragon Real Estate’s stocks.

His only goal had been to scam Zayden so that he would fall into the other’s trap.

While Zayden had indeed taken the bait, not only did he invest every dollar he had, but he had transferred one billion of the family’s funds as well.

Now the one billion dollars had turned into Heavenly Dragon Real Estate’s stocks of its worth, unmovable and fixed.

“We’ve won.” Jasper chuckled and exhaled, his posture calm and collected.

This battle of funds had come and gone quickly.

In less than two hours, a gruesome battle involving a couple of billion dollars had come to an end.

The most terrifying of all was how investors were not petrified after Jasper sold off all his stocks.

While the investor and the dealer battled, the retail investors were one simple mistake away from losing everything they had. When they saw that the stock price was beginning to fall, everyone began to sell their stocks as if their life depended on it.
