Chapter 867

“However, due to the time difference, we need to pull an all-nighter if they take action. Make sure to re-
adjust the work schedules of your departments. If anyone makes a mistake, don’t bother explaining it to
me. Explain everything to Mr. Laine himself.”

Everyone gazed at each other after hearing Jack’s words. Heaving a collective sigh, they agreed
unanimously.

…

Back in Nauritus City, it was already two in the morning when Jasper arrived home after sending Celine
back to her hotel.

Jasper had been communicating closely with Jake throughout his journey home.

Jasper did not have anyone that he could rely on in the United States, and the topping-off ceremony
would be held in two days’ time. Because of this, it was impossible for him to stay up all night just to
monitor the American stock market. Thus, he had no choice but to hand this task over to Jake.

“Sena’s funds amount to 600 million dollars right now. I have another 300 million dollars on hand. This
is all held in US dollars. I’ll let you handle this sum of money for now–our main goal is to snatch back all
of their shares.”

Jasper remained on the phone with Jake after arriving home.

“Mr. Laine, it shouldn’t be hard to take over their shares, but the other party has been preparing for
such a long time. It is unlikely that we’ll be able to obtain an equivalent number of shares within such a
short period of time. If we try too hard to do so, the share price will rise. If that happens, we will have to
pay a higher price.”

“We’ll just have to pay the price then.”



Jasper said in an even tone. “After taking down this cunning wolf, we’ll gain a considerable amount of
profits. The problem now isn’t money. We need to know is how many shares they have under their
control, and when they intend to take action.

“Mr. Laine, we’ll surely be able to notice the signs before they start carrying out their plan. I will be
monitoring the share price the entire team. If anything happens, I’ll be the first one to tell you.”

Jasper nodded with satisfaction and replied, “Sure, I’ll hand this task over to you.”

“Don’t worry.”

After hanging up the call, Jasper stared out the window. The sky was always darkest before dawn. He
sighed lightly.

Time passed at an alarming rate. The next day, people from Easy Media told Jasper that they have
already completed all the equipment debugging and rehearsals required for the topping-off ceremony.

The Southeast Province, which was thrown into the spotlight after the mining company’s scam was
resolved, became the center of everyone’s attention due to the upcoming topping-off ceremony.

Everyone had their eyes set on the Southface River project. Hundreds of millions of dollars had been
invested into this project, which had lasted for a year. Now, it was finally time to unveil it to the world.

On this day, the mining company incident was collectively resolved with the joint intervention of the
municipal government, the bank, and two state-owned enterprises.

Vista Mining Company declared bankruptcy less than a week after its establishment. The funds
obtained from the Agricultural Bank in the company account were all recalled by the bank. After this,
Vista Mining Company would no longer be held accountable by the Agricultural Bank or state-owned
enterprises.



This included Hill County. Conrad had invested a lot of money into the poor county town of Hill County
for the construction of roads and to develop utilities. Since the people of Hill County benefited from the
substantive welfare that he had provided, they did not continue to hold Conrad accountable for his
actions.

After all, it’s not like any of them were made worse off by this.

Conrad, who had set up the entire scheme from the very start, was the only one who suffered from this.
The funds that he had previously invested vanished into thin air.

Most parties considered this to be an acceptable ending. However, they were now not as friendly
toward Conrad as they had been in the past.

After all, anyone would be cautious when dealing with a vicious person who was willing to lose a
hundred million dollars just to set up a trap for someone else.

Therefore, the number of people gloating over Conrad’s misfortune soon outnumbered the number of
people who felt sympathetic sorry for him after his scheme failed.
