The Law and the Langdon families’ statement implied that Sena was going to enter the Harbor City
market with these two families’ help.
While the Harbor City market did not mean much, one should remember that the wealthy families in
Harbor City currently held large influence over Southeast Terra.
To those who were wise, this statement implied that Sena would enter the broad market of Southeast
Terra.
With that being said, Sena now had the possibility of spreading beyond the country and becoming the
first multinational internet company.
The market’s enthusiasm was instantly reflected in Sena’s share prices.
The share prices had been jumping between 88 and 89 US dollars when they instantly jumped to 99
US dollars ten minutes after the statement was released.
It was only one step away from reaching 100 US dollars.
Jasper looked at Sena’s share prices and let out a slight sigh of relief.
He had at least managed to get rid of the negative effect William’s actions had brought.
Just then, Winston Benett’s team also released a statement.
Winston Benett had used his funds to buy 120 million US dollars worth of Sena’s shares.
This statement tallied with his bullish stance on Sena during the interview.
Just then, Sena’s share prices surpassed 100 US dollars!
Just as all the investors in the United States began to cheer about Sena creating miracles, Jasper’s
phone rang.
“Hello, is this Mr. Jasper Laine?” A middle-aged man’s gentle voice sounded on the other end of the
phone.
Jasper replied, “I am. And you are?”
“Hello, this is Winston Benett’s assistant. He had me make you a call.
“Mr. Benett actually wished to talk to you in person, but an emergency came up and he’s unavailable.
On behalf of Mr. Benett, I’d like to invite you to have afternoon tea with Mr. Bennett this Wednesday.
“I’d like to ask if you’re free to meet, Mr. Laine?”
Jasper was stunned for a moment, almost believing that this was a scam call.
Although it soon occurred to him that this was unlikely.
“I’ll be there,” Jasper replied.
The assistant smiled and said, “We’ll confirm the time and place then, Mr. Laine. Have a great day,
goodbye.”
After hanging up the phone, Jasper felt a weird feeling come over him.
He never expected to get into contact with the stock god Winston Benett so soon in this life.
Jasper was elated, for this was Winston Benett, and the man taking the initiative to invite him for a
meet-up spoke of his acknowledgment of Jasper.
However, he felt no additional excitement. After all, Jasper no longer needed to marvel at anyone else
anymore. If anything, he was the one the majority of people marveled at.
Jasper was envious, though, seeing how Winston Benett had an assistant to make a call for him.
It seemed that Jasper had to speed up the employment of a secretary as it would not do well with his
current status not to have one.
Jasper stayed in Nasdaq Exchange Center and watched for minute changes in the share prices. At that
same moment, Celine was bringing a team of people toward the office William was currently in.
Celine could not help but chuckle when she remembered how infuriated Paulson looked less than 20
minutes ago when she told him the news.
“Are we certain this is the address? I don’t want to end up in the wrong place and forcing him into
hiding,” Celine stated to the people beside her gleefully.
The people following Celine were members of Colossal Investments’ Integrity Department.
These were not the people who previously reviewed Celine. These were Colossal Investments’ true
elites.
Most of them were from the United States’ Undercover Department or other special departments like
the prosecutor’s court.
It was precisely thanks to these people that Colossal Investments remained as the investment bank
with the least internal corruption over the past decade and longer.
“We’ve already confirmed with special equipment that the IP address of that transaction account is in
this commercial building,” replied a stern middle-aged man.
Celine nodded and spoke, “Alright, let’s go then.”
Just then, William roared in his office.
His hair was a mess and his eyes were bloodshot. His originally ironed suit was now in shreds and
hung sparsely over his shoulders.
Sitting on the chair, William stared at the computer in disbelief as he muttered to himself, “No way, how
could the share prices suddenly rise so much?”
William had actually tried to sell his shares when the Law and the Langdon families released the
statement in hopes to keep the share prices down.
Yet the investors’ total capital was too strong and it was foolish of William to think he could fight alone
against so much hot money.
In an instant, the shares he threw out were completely sold to the other investors.
Before William could realize what was happening, Winston Bennet’s statement was released as well.
William slammed his fist onto the table at the sight of the striking large trendline and shouted, “No way!
What the hell happened?! Something must’ve happened without my knowledge! Damn it, it’s more than
100 US dollars already!”
Bang!
The office doors were kicked open and a group of people rushed in.
Celine followed behind the group, and her slim figure was truly alluring. Every step she took turned
heads and she entered the room enchantingly.
“You’re right, something did happen without your knowledge. Not that you need to know what it is now,
since it’s not important anymore.”
William’s face paled as he looked at Celine and the group of people who were glaring at him
disdainfully.
“What are you doing?! What do you mean by bringing so many people over, Celine?” William pushed
aside the unease that surged within him and growled.
Celine waved a hand in front of her nose to get rid of the disgusting smell in the office. With a hand
over her nose, she spoke, “The headquarters already knows that you embezzled the company’s funds,
William.”
William’s expression changed drastically.
While he already had an inkling when Celine appeared with these people in tow, Williams still could not
stop the fear and disbelief when he heard the truth.
“What nonsense are you spouting?!” William roared fiercely.
Just then, a middle-aged man beside Celine walked over expressionlessly and spoke with his badge in
his hand, “Mr. William, I’m the special executive officer of the headquarters’ Integrity Department,
reporting directly to the board of directors. We have sufficient proof that you’ve embezzled one billion
US dollars from the Terra regional branch.
“You have the right to remain silent and everything you say will be used against you when Colossal
sues you.”
With that, he gestured to someone beside him. “Bring him away.”
“Wait.”
Celine suddenly spoke.
Even William looked at Celine confusedly, wondering why she would stop them at such a time.
