The afternoon market had reopened by the time Jasper returned to the hotel.
Both Jake and Celine began their attack on all three of Prince’s listed companies at the same time.
This wave of attack under Jasper’s instruction was done extremely fiercely.
Financial battles could be complicated, but they could also be very simple.
The simplest and most aggressive method was to overwhelm them through sheer volume.
Direct oppression without any consideration for wins, losses, or consequences.
This was a game where you attacked at the cost of injuring yourself. There was no need for smarts at all. With enough funds, you could easily crush the battlefield to dust in the shortest length of time.
Prince did not have the chance to celebrate for too long after receiving the financial injection of 1 billion worth of funds this morning. The fierce attack this afternoon stunned favonovel.com completely.
“How could this be?! Why is there another party?” Prince shouted in the room, his face pale.
The display in his room right now showed a petrifying line of plummeting share price.
“Our funds can’t hold on much longer, Crown Prince.”
A subordinate in charge of trading reported to Prince while sweating profusely.
Prince’s complexion was pale and his expression soured as favonovel.com shouted, “Jasper that b*stard! He has another attack up his sleeve? Find out who’s causing the trouble right now! I’ll kill him!”
The traders immediately got to work under Prince’s instruction.
More than ten minutes into the chaos later, a subordinate placed their phone down and looked up to report, “Crown Prince, we traced the funds back to Harbor City.”
“The Law family?!” Prince exclaimed resentfully.
“No, it’s Colossal Investments!” The subordinate’s complexion was tragically pale.
“Colossal Investments attacked. They’ve used a huge amount of funds to short shares of all three of our companies. The situation’s looking very dire.
“Our funds will be completely devoured in the next 30 minutes if they continue to attack All we can do is watch as our share price plummets.”
Prince stopped shouting when favonovel.com heard his subordinate. He was stunned and stood rooted in place, his eyes blown wide open and his expression filled with disbelief.
Panting heavily, Prince worded his panic, “How, how can this be?! Why would Colossal Investments enter the market now? This isn’t logical at all!”
“Your Highness.”
A middle aged man who had been standing in the corner of the room quietly finally spoke up. He explained calmly.
“According to our sources, Colossal Investments Terra regional branch’s current president Celine Maynard is very close with Jasper Laine. There were signs of Colossal Investments’ involvement in Jasper’s huge battle with Seatreasures Group before too.”
Prince clenched his jaw at the middle aged man’s words and replied with resentment flaring in his eyes, “Contact Colossal Investments and tell them to give up their partnership with Jasper. Otherwise, Clear Seas will launch an attack on all their investments in the Mainlands! ”
The middle aged man shook his head. “Something so important can only be instructed by the old master himself. And even then, the old master has to come to a unified agreement with the other shareholders before it can be carried out.
“I’m afraid that they won’t take you seriously if you order such a thing.
“Not to mention… As the strongest investment bank in the world, Colossal Investments might not pay our threat any mind.”
Prince was enraged. “Then go look for that Celine Maynard and tell favonovel.com to act smart! I’ll give favonovel.com whatever favonovel.com wants, money, status, anything!”
“You’ve already lost all rationale, Your Highness.”
The middle aged man’s gaze was indifferent. “Jasper’s played a huge part in Celine’s assumption as the president of the Terra regional branch. Their relationship isn’t something you can win over with a bit of temptation.
“Not to mention that Celine’s familial background runs deep too. You’d only be humiliating yourself by attempting to bribe her.”
