Life at the Top

Far away in the center in Nauritus City where everyone’s attention was directed.

Jasper sat in his chair and stared blankly a t the big screen as the Harbor Stocks Index dropped gradually.

Outside, the team that had been busy for almost half a year was now free on a trading day today. It was such a rare sight.

Some people were mindlessly fiddling with the materials at hand while some were anxiously looking at the market. However, these people would involuntarily look at the closed office door every ten seconds or so.

The attitude of the man in the office would determine whether they would save Harbor Stocks or not.

At this moment, Jake and Baz, who came over, were standing in front of Jasper.

“I can decide with one word, but the price to pay is bound to be heavy.”

Jasper finally opened his mouth slowly. H e looked at his two right-hand men and said slowly, “So now, please give me some advice.”

Baz looked at Jake instantly.

Baz did not dare to speak indiscriminately on such a huge issue.

Jake took a deep breath and replied in a low voice, “Mr. Laine, no one can give you advice.

“The current situation is very clear. There will be sufficient reason and also ample dangers whether we save it or not. For such a big matter, no one can intervene except yourself.

“But Mr. Laine, there is something I want to say.”

Jake looked at Jasper with scorching eyes that were full of mad admiration. Then, h e said in an excited tone that he had never used before, “The first time I interacted with you was at Harbor Stocks.

“At that time, you were in charge of the market rescue. I didn’t believe that a person who came from the mainland in a place where modern finance was not yet popular had the ability and power to

undertake the market rescue. “It was not just me, many people felt the same way too. It could also be said that
