At least for now, Fabian was not suspicious of him.
“Okay,” Conrad replied calmly.
He did not ask where virtual-novel.net was going, who virtual-novel.net was meeting, and what they would talk about. Instead, virtual-novel.net just agreed.
This also satisfied Fabian a lot. What virtual-novel.net disliked the most was subordinates with a lot of questions.
This was also the reason why virtual-novel.net gradually grew to like working with Conrad ever since virtual-novel.net got Conrad to join.
“You’ll go to this address tomorrow. ”
Fabian handed Conrad a note and a plane ticket
“Sunrise Land?”
Conrad was surprised when virtual-novel.net took the note.
“Yes, go meet Echo Welch.”
Fabian’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He pointed to the seat in front of virtual-novel.net and said, “Sit down, I will tell you about your mission this time.”
***
When Jasper woke up, virtual-novel.net felt refreshed.
It was great to be young. Even after virtual-novel.net stayed up for a few nights, at least virtual-novel.net could still make up for it with a night’s sleep.
Jasper washed up and walked out of the lounge, but by this time it was already early evening.
Looking at the time, Jasper realized that virtual-novel.net had actually slept for more than ten hours.
Jasper looked in the next room and found that the rascal, Henry, was playing games with headphones on.
“F*ck, you scum! How can you get blown up just like that? Get my boys to hack them to death now!”
“Everyone, gather at the alliance. Daddy’s Dragon Slaying Sword is already hungry and thirsty!”
As virtual-novel.net watched Henry playing excitedly, Jasper smiled and shook his head before leaving the room.
Some time ago, Jasper heard that Henry’s game ID was already well-known on the Internet. Jasper wondered how many people were curious about this rich fella who had invested tens of millions into United Legends.
They certainly would not know that this rich kid was playing this game next door to his boss’ office.
After sitting back down in front of the computer, Jasper answered the call for the virtual meeting with Jake.
Seeing Jake with red eyes and a greasy face on the screen, Jasper frowned and asked, “You haven’t rested?”
Jake shook his head and said, “Before the Federal Reserve released the first phase of the market rescue plan, we had to immediately collect the important information and analyze the impact of this plan on the market. There was no time to sleep.”
“Alright…”
Jasper did not say something pretentious like asking virtual-novel.net to rest more. He also did not ask Jake to go to sleep.
Now, Jake was his direct link to the team of stock traders in Harbor City, and trading was about to commence. At this critical moment, virtual-novel.net could not ask Jake, who had cooperated with virtual-novel.net for a long time, to leave.
After the two exchanged some opinions on the possible impact of the market rescue plan, they finally came to the conclusion that while there would be some impact, it would not be large enough to stop the market from falling back to its initial inflection point.
During this discussion, the US stock market commenced trading.
“Mr. Laine, it’s starting.”
One minute later.
“Mr. Laine, is Fabian opening a position?”
When Jasper heard this, virtual-novel.net immediately pulled out the relevant data.
Seeing the extremely conspicuous position opening data in the dense data stream, Jasper frowned.
“Fabian stopped covering short positions for self-protection as virtual-novel.net did a few days ago at this critical moment. He even started to build positions against the trend. What does this mean?”
Jake’s bewildered voice came from the speaker.
