Life at the Top

Chapter 42



“What? We lost 200 million?”
Zayden was instantly infuriated. ‘How did we lose 200 million out of the blue?’
The Hanks family was rich, and Zayden was hardly poor, but that did not mean money fell from the skies!
Such a sudden turn of events had knocked the wind out of Zayden’s chest like a hammer.
He did not understand how his smooth sailing plan had suddenly taken such a sharp turn.
The person on the other end continued to mutter, prompting Zayden to shout at them. “Alright, enough! Shut up! Why are you so
frantic, we’ll be fine!
“Let me take a look first and I’ll update you.”
Hanging up the phone, Zayden quickly turned on his computer.
Although he had mentally prepared himself for what he would see, the sight of skyrocketing K-line followed by the downward
plummet of stock prices still stunned him.
Zayden’s expression darkened, and it was gloomy to the point that a storm seemed to be brewing between his brows.
“Motherf*cker! Someone’s obviously out to get me!” Zayden opened the backstage and stared at the shocking eight-figure value
on his profit and loss account. He clenched his teeth in infuriation.
‘Is it Schuler Group
‘No way.’
Zayden immediately debunked that thought, for he had already cut off Schuler Group’s cash flow. There was no way they would
have the money to do such a thing.
Not to mention that they could not have known how he had invested the 600 million into Heavenly Dragon Real Estate.
Only a selected few from his family knew of this.
‘Who could it be?

‘One of my brothers who also want to inherit the company?’
With his thoughts going haywire, Zayden shook his head. He had no idea who the culprit was and whether it was a mere
coincidence or if all of this was planned, but he had to counter it.
‘Or this will be the end to the 600 million.’
At that thought, Zayden dialed a number.
“I’ve seen the market capitalization. Immediately transfer around 80 million in funds from my personal account over. I want the
prices pulled back up!”
...
“The prices are back up.”
Jasper suddenly spoke, bringing both Dawson and Wendy’s gazes over to the computer.
A large order of tens of millions of funds could be seen entering Heavenly Dragon’s stocks, which pulled the prices that were
hovering over its limits up quite the notch.
The rise in prices was steady.
“Looks like he’s made his move.”
Jasper was not surprised to see such a quick reaction from Zayden, for there was surely a group of professionals working for him
and monitoring the market. It would be underestimating him to think otherwise.
Yet, so what?
“What do we do now, Jasp? Do we continue to beat the stocks down?” Wendy asked.
“No.”
Jasper shook his head and smiled. “He’s fighting us for bargaining chips now. There are only so many of Heavenly Dragon’s
stocks, and most of them belong to retailers.
“If he wants to control the prices of the stocks, he’ll have to ensure that he has enough of them on hand.

“I’ve bought quite a bit of them when I played around with the limits, but they aren’t enough. If he wants to pull the prices back
up, then we’ll pull them up with him.”
At that, Jasper then transferred 20 million in funds and the prices began to increase.
Followed by Jasper’s investment, Heavenly Dragon’s stock price began to rise as well. These tens of millions of funds had thus
driven the market prices to skyrocket again.
This time, investors who were still pondering no longer hesitated. Even a fool could tell that two dealers were trying to fight for
decision rights with Heavenly Dragon’s stocks.
