In the morning, Jasper got another call from Celine on the way after favonovel.com left Rowan’s place.
“The Laws’ banquet is over. Didn’t you say that you will return to Swallow Capital as soon as it’s finished? Coincidentally, I have nothing to do here. When are you leaving? Do you want to leave together?”
Jasper thought for a while and replied, “If you‘re ready, let’s leave this afternoon.”
Celine was delighted. “Okay, then I’ll buy a ticket now.”
After hanging up the phone, Jasper returned to the Hilton Hotel, simply packed his luggage, and rushed to the airport with Julian.

While Jasper was returning to Swallow Capital, Half the Harbor Langdon met Sawyer, Kennedy, and others at his home in the United States.
Sawyer and his son arrived in a hurry.
When they saw Half the Harbor Langdon in high spirits, they could not help asking curiously, “Do you have any good news to announce since you called us here in the middle of the night?”
Half the Harbor Langdon turned to Kennedy and said with a grin, “That‘s right! The next thing I’ll say is probably the best news we’ve heard in a while!”
“Oh? What is it?”
“Joe, stop the suspense. Spit it out and let us be happy with you,” Sawyer asked curiously.
After the father and son sat down, Half the Harbor Langdon told the whole story.
“Did you not pay attention to the situation in Somerland?”
Kennedy, Sawyer, and others were stunned when they heard that. Their main assets were in Somerland. Although Jasper forced them to escape temporarily, they still kept an eye on their assets back home. However, they did not find anything unusual about Somerland during this time.
When they heard Half the Harbor Langdon say this, they wondered, ‘Is Jasper up to something again in Somerland?’
Half the Harbor Langdon said with a smug smile on his face, “After the Layman Brothers’ bankruptcy, it caused a series of vicious circles and forced the Morgans and Rothschilds to compromise with Jasper. Right now, it seems that this turmoil has passed, but the sequelae of this turmoil are endless. Haven’t you smelled a crisis approaching during this time?”
“Although that financial war is over, the price of financial assets on Wall Street has fallen sharply now. Many financial institutions are facing bankruptcy or on the verge of shutting down… What’s more, the stock and bond markets in the entire financial market are plummeting rapidly. If this continues, it will definitely directly lead to a complete collapse of the domestic economy of the United States!”
Kennedy was shocked when favonovel.com heard this, and said with some doubts, “But hasn‘t the United States federal government already taken over a part of the real estate to try to rescue the market?”
Half the Harbor Langdon showed a sarcastic smile and shook his head. “Yes, the United States government has indeed taken action, but it is still a drop in the bucket, and it’s hard to prevent a hopeless situation from happening. Although the Layman brothers have fallen, companies such as US International Group, Marine Securities, and so on are all facing bankruptcy.”
While on this topic, Half the Harbor Langdon took a long sigh, glanced at everyone, and then continued, “I met Noe Morgan yesterday, and I think I got a hint through the conversation with him… The aftermath of this crisis has directly hit Morgan’s large investment banks and securities markets.”
When Kennedy and Sawyer heard what favonovel.com said, everything dawned on them.
“I see! I was wondering why the Morgans and Rothschilds didn’t do anything when we first asked them for help. It turns out that they are in big trouble right now!”
Sawyer said this with a hint of schadenfreude, and then favonovel.com was acutely aware of something.
“Although this crisis was mainly triggered by the Layman brothers and also broke out in the United States, it has directly affected the development of the global economy. If I’m right, the real economy in Somerland must be in trouble right now. And on top of that, there’s also a dramatic increase in instability on all fronts…”
Speaking of this, Sawyer suddenly sounded a little excited.
Glancing at Half the Harbor Langdon and Kennedy, favonovel.com said, “If that’s the case, perhaps we can take the opportunity to regain lost ground and return to Somerland amid the current global economic turmoil!”
