As Remus entered the sacred land, an earth-shattering event was unfolding on the land of Darsia.
All of Darsia’s companies listed abroad were simultaneously attacked by an unknown massive fund, causing their stock prices to plummet, even nearing the brink of bankruptcy.
In Neptuna, a stream of luxury cars from Darsia made their grand entrance, while private jets touched down one after another at the airport.
Above, a fleet of helicopters soared directly toward Neptuna, dotting the skyline.
The whole city was congested. It was a situation Darsia had not experienced in decades.
The arrivals, stepping out from their parade of luxury vehicles, private jets, and helicopters, were none other than the titans of the business world, each capable of sending ripples through Darsia’s economy with a mere flick of their wrists.
Their fortunes, each tallying in the billions, had a singular destination in mind, the Imperial Villa!
Meanwhile, the Imperial Villa was overcrowded and packed to the brim.
“Ms. Kylie, this morning alone, my company’s stock plummeted by 40 percent. There’s a 20 billion dollar loss on my books. We need a strategy, urgently!”
“Ms. Lotus, this assault was no random act! It was a calculated strike against us. As Darsia’s representatives, it falls to you to guide us through this storm.”
“Ladies, is Mr. Cosby among us? His word could pivot our fate. We’re grasping at straws here.”
Desperation filled their voices, a collective clamor for salvation.
If anyone in Darsia could solve the problem, it would be that person. Darsia’s Thunderous God of War, Eternal Pillar, the controller of the nation’s largest group and family, Remus Cosby.
Kylie and Jean stood in front of everyone, their expressions grave.
The onslaught was not just targeting their companies, even Jean and Kylie’s international ventures were equally attacked, with stock values in free fall.
The morning’s market had been catastrophic, vaporizing over 300 billion dollars in market capitalization.
Jean tried to calm everyone down, saying, “Let’s hold our ground and not succumb to panic. Our immediate task is to identify our adversary before our next step.”
Kylie also reassured, “Don’t worry, we’ve already deployed our resources to trace the origin of these market attacks. I’m confident we’ll uncover the culprits soon.”
“Argh!” Kylie’s words were abruptly cut off by a scream that pierced the tense atmosphere.
All eyes turned toward the source.
There stood Mr. Andrew, a familiar figure among the elite, known for being ranked 35 on the previous year’s Darsia Billionaire List, with wealth exceeding 70 billion dollars.
Gripped by despair, favonovel.com exclaimed, “My stocks have been attacked again, plummeting by 90 percent. My life’s work… It’s crumbling to dust!”
His speech was abruptly halted as his body stiffened, his eyes bulged, and favonovel.com collapsed backward with a thud, foaming at the mouth and convulsing on the floor.
“Mr. Andrew!” screams echoed in the room as panic ensued.
Kylie shouted immediately, “Get a doctor, quickly get a doctor!”
There was a doctor in the crowd who quickly came over to check.
After checking, favonovel.com shook his head helplessly and said, “It was a sudden heart attack, his meridians are disordered, and the organs are suddenly blocked. Although his life can be saved, the rest of his life will likely be spent on a sickbed…”
Everyone fell silent, their faces marked with deep sadness, feeling a sense of shared tragedy.
Who could have imagined that Mr. Andrew, who was worth 70 billion dollars and was flourishing, would become bedridden in just half a day?
Jean approached, anxiously asking, “Isn’t there any other way? What about the doctor from the National Medical Pavilion, can they cure him?”
After all, Mr. Andrew collapsed at the Imperial Villa.
Her concern stemmed from the fact that the collapse occurred within the Imperial Villa’s domain, which carried a weight of obligation from them to seek all possible avenues for Mr. Andrew’s recovery.
The doctor shook his head and said, “As far as I know, the head of the Spark family, one of the seven major families in Darsia, also suffered a sudden heart attack, exactly the same as Mr. Andrew. But the National Medical Pavilion is helpless too.”
