Chapter 764
Mira nodded. “Okay, I’ll talk to Ethan right now p>
“Handle that first. Once you’re done, there’s something else I need to tell you p>
Owen said.
The Wall Street operation was the priority. Ethan needed to be informed immediately so he could manage his schedule and consolidate his capital.
“Mira p>
Answering Mira’s call, Ethan felt a surge of overwhelming emotion. His sister was finally willing to reach out to him.
Even though she still hadn’t called him her brother, nor explicitly acknowledged her return to the family.
“In about two weeks, we’re heading to Wall Street. There’s a massive market opportunity over there. Are you in p>
“Wall Street? Are you certain about this?
From what I know, there are always opportunities there, but it’s a game very few can afford to play. Do you realize how many world-class financial experts have been buried in that market?
You’ve only been in this industry for a year. Yes, your talent is unparalleled, and you’ve achieved incredible things, but your total capital wouldn’t even rank in the top ten domestically.
On a global scale, it barely registers as third-tier capital.
I admit your financial intuition far exceeds the norm, but the world is full of brilliant minds. If you lose, it’s total annihilation.
Listen to me-don’t go. With your current assets and experience, that market will eat you alive p>
What was Wall Street? It was the beating heart of the Javenaire Federation’s dollar hegemony, the epicenter of global finance. It represented the apex of Western capital and the entire global financial architecture, where a single ripple could crash the world economy.
It was a fortress of top-tier financial institutions that controlled forty percent of the world’s wealth.
Mira didn’t argue. She knew everything Ethan said was the absolute truth.
However p>
“I’m only bringing a portion of my liquidity. I’m not touching my core operational assets. How could it be total annihilation p>
Whether it was stocks or hedge funds, even if her positions were liquidated and wiped out, she would only lose the specific funds allocated for those trades. Her foundational businesses would remain untouched.
“You just want to test the waters p>
“No, we’re pooling everything we can spare. We’re bringing massive capital because
I have a guaranteed angle.
But it won’t cripple my enterprises.
Even if Nose every cent I bring, met

Ethan fell silent on the other end of the line. After several tense minutes, he asked,
“Do you know something p>
“Just an analytical projection.
The real estate bubble has peaked. If
this collapses, the banks will go
bankrupt
with it triggering a global
financial meltdown.
And a crisis on Wall Street will drag down the entire world p>
“You want to aggressively short the market p>
Ethan instantly connected the dots.
“I won’t lie to you. Yes p>
“But going up against global financial titans is an astronomical risk p>
“I’m aware. But astronomical risk yields astronomical profit p>
“Who else is going? How long are you planning to stay p>
“Besides Owen and Harvey Rivers, Lucian North is coming too. He works for me now p>
Ethan let out a long breath. “Alright. I’m in p>
The moment Mira hung up with Ethan, Owen’s call came through. “He agreed p>
“How did you know p>
“Coming from you, he’d believe anything.
If I had pitched the exact same plan, he would have assumed I was orchestrating
some elaborate trap p>
Owen chuckled knowingly.
“Have you two even interacted much p>
Mira asked. They seemed to know each other awfully well.
“Ethan and I haven’t spent much time together, but for some reason, he’s always
been hostile toward me.
Do you think he suspects your
refusal to acknowledge the faret
was my idea? That’m whispering poison in your ear?
Or maybe, subconsciously, he just feels like I’m the one who stole you away p>
