Life at The Top novel Chapter 206

To other people, this looked like good news.

However, Jasper sensed something amiss.

The main force of the short-selling party must be a top-notch expert. It would be impossible for him not to know why Jasper was insisting on protecting 7,600 points. At this moment, he was getting closer and closer to victory.

The treasure was right in front of him after working so hard and it was within arm’s reach, however, he was suddenly backing away now.

This move was very unusual.

To the outsiders, this meant that the main force of the short-selling part had exhausted their resources. However, Jasper had been fighting with them this whole time and he was sure they still had energy left over.

“Something’s wrong!” Jasper yelled all of a sudden.

“He’s going to run!”

“Increase the stock price now! All of them! Use the fastest speed you can to increase the Hansel Index!”

Jasper’s voice startled Zack. He instinctively carried out Jasper’s orders as if it was in his subconscious.

It was like magic. The Hansel Index skyrocketed as if someone had used a cheat code on it.

The screen was initially shrouded by a gloomy-looking green color, but after the increase of the stocks, the numbers turned from dark green to bright red.

The stock market had a rebound and was increasing!

At the same time, it was as if the short-selling party did not dare to continue the fight. They were retreating.

The Hansel Index increased from 7,602 points to 7,650 points.

7,680 points.

7,800 points.

8,000 points!

It surmounted all difficulties and there were no obstacles on the way!

“We won?”

Spencer yelled in excitement.

Not only him, but the entire Harbor City was going insane.

“We won!”

“The stock market is rising!”

“We saved it!”

“Congratulations! Mr. Laine, you did it!”

Kennedy came over to Jasper unbeknownst to him and said with a grin.

Jasper had no joy on his face.

It was because this entire script was completely different than the one he had in mind.

The main force of the other party had retreated at a crucial moment, causing Jasper’s initial plan to be fruitless for the greater part.

Even though they won for now, for Jasper, he knew he had lost a little to his opponent!

The other party had obviously seen through his objective.

They did not step into his trap but on the contrary, they turned around and walked away.

Jasper composed himself while facing Kennedy’s words of congratulations. He smiled lightly and said, “I just did what I should do.”

“We always have to remember that there’s always someone who’s better than us in this world, no?”

Kennedy said this significant statement.

Jasper’s eyes twinkled as he looked deeply at Kennedy. Then, he nodded and said, “Yes, but I believe the truth will come out one day!”
