’Popping of the Dot-Com Bubble!’
‘Harbor Stocks Drops Violently by 10,000 Points!’

‘Harbor City’s Economy in Danger, Citizens Ask What Now?’
Countless news articles had spread throughout Harbor City that night.
Almost every citizen was affected by the crisis.
Switching on the television, every channel was reporting today’s economic crisis.
What truly chilled the hearts of civilians was that the boss of Carefree Net, an internet company on the stock market, had gone bankrupt and proceeded to kill himself and his kids by jumping from the rooftop.
A true tragedy.
Sorrow and fright could be seen everywhere in Harbor City.
Meanwhile, a joyful party was held in a rural and safe villa somewhere in Harbor City.
“Haha. In these few years, I’ve never been as happy as I am today!”
Bob raised his wine glass and clinked it with Kennedy’s with a smile on his face as he spoke.
Rogers frowned, but his expression was not one of concern. “Perhaps Europe’s other capitals were sold, or it may even be one of your Somerland’s neighbors? But I can confirm that the capital wasn’t from Wall Street.
“Keep an eye out tomorrow, we’ll watch out for their next course of action,” Rogers replied plainly.
Bob hesitated before he spoke, “Mr. Rogers, our original plan was to knock the Hansel Index down by 10,000 points in three days.
“But it’s only the first day and the Hansel Index has already dropped 9,000 points. If this goes on, the government of Harbor City and the other rich families will team up to help.”
Kennedy interrupted, “I already received their calls today, saying that the four main families should come up with a plan and publicize it, then team up with the other wealthy families to save the city.”
Rogers smiled playfully. “It’s a shame that they don’t know that among Harbor City’s four main rich families, you’re egging for Harbor Stocks to drop.”
Kennedy replied plainly, “Still, you can’t let them find out, or at least, not yet. Otherwise, that’s goodbye to my foothold in Harbor City.”
