Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3208

"Gentlemen, the people of Montiria are in a state of unrest, and the country is teetering on the brink of collapse. Now is the perfect time for us to act!"

In the grand estate of Earl Ezekiel Birol of Dornia, Prince Garrett stood confidently at the front, passionately addressing the influential figures gathered before him.

"So, Your Highness, are you suggesting we take this opportunity to help you ascend to the throne?" A wealthy man from Dornia, with an arm draped around a scantily clad maid, inquired.

"Oh, no, no, Mr. Ellis, you've misunderstood me. You are one of Dornia's top investors—I would never waste your time with idle talk," Garrett responded smoothly. "Of course, the reason I've gathered you all here today isn't to discuss trivial matters. Instead, I have a massive profit opportunity right before your eyes."

Garrett's voice was laced with temptation, but the wealthy businessmen remained unmoved. Each of them had survived brutal financial battles, and no amount of persuasion would sway them without clear prospects.

"Gents, I've thoroughly analyzed the current situation in Montiria. The Gloam Wing has monopolized power and is aggressively hoarding wealth. Because of their oppression and the ensuing chaos, Montiria is now in utter disarray. If we join forces, we can easily short Montiria!"

As a result, many Montirians would rush to exchange their Ducats for Emeralds. Eventually, even within Montiria, all purchases and transactions would require Dornian Emeralds, as no one would trust the ever-declining Ducat. Today, five Ducats might buy you one Emerald, but tomorrow, it might take ten Ducats for the same exchange. With their stockpile of Emeralds, they could then swoop in, buying up oil fields, mansions, and other valuable assets in Montiria.

As the situation worsened, the assets Garrett's loyalists had mortgaged could be reclaimed for just a fraction of their original value—maybe three or four billion Ducats instead of ten. Eventually, buying a loaf of bread in Montiria might cost three million Ducats when it used to cost just three. The purchasing power of their billions in Emeralds would multiply by tens or even hundreds of times.

The potential profits were so immense that even these world-renowned financial titans, worth billions themselves, couldn't suppress the greedy desires welling up within them.
