Chapter 840
Even with their substantial financial backing in Mavaria, losing these funds would be a crippling blow.
Once the opening bell rang, Atlantic Bank stock instantly plummeted to its limit, just as Mira had predicted. Fortunately, they had already cashed out their position. The collective sigh of relief in the room was palpable.
“Now we can just let the other two stocks ride. We can actually relax and enjoy the weekend p>
Over at a different exchange, Jude Vance panicked when he heard Mira had dumped her Atlantic stock. He scrambled to find a buyer for his own shares.
“Do you really trust her that much? Atlantic is in a perfect nosedive right now p>
Lawrence scoffed.
“If you want them so bad, I’ll sell them to you p>
In the end, Lawrence followed Jude’s lead, queuing his sell orders before the
afternoon session began. He might have been stubborn, but deep down, he had to admit that Mira’s trading instincts were terrifyingly accurate.
Meanwhile, Miven and Mishka had already passed the details of Mira’s latest maneuver to a prominent Wall Street cartel.
“Sir, those Mavarians dumped their Atlantic stock p>
“Short-sighted fools. They’ll never achieve true greatness. Atlantic’s downward momentum is flawless. Why sell now?
Hurry up and scoop up the shares they unloaded p>
“Sir, they’ve already been bought up by someone else p>
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner p>
After hearing the feedback, Miven and Mishka decided to mirror the cartel’s strategy and hold onto their Atlantic stock.
According to the trajectory of Atlantic’s stock in Mira’s previous life, it was supposed to drop to its limit again next Monday, offering another massive wave of profit. But in this game, nothing was absolute.
Her greatest fear was that when the time came to finally sell, there wouldn’t be a single buyer in sight.
In her past life, right while short sellers were cheering and gearing up for another massive windfall on Tuesday, Atlantic National had abruptly declared bankruptcy.
Besides, what if the bankruptcy was moved up this time around?
Truthfully, Mira was praying the collapse would happen later. An early bankruptcy would draw global attention and trigger immediate shockwaves across the other two stocks they were shorting.
With their massive profits safely
locked away, the group’s spirits were
soaring. They spent the entire-
weekend touring New York’s.
landmarks, only returning to their
hotel after nightfall ‘
When the market opened on Monday, the atmosphere in Mira’s suite was relaxed. They only needed to monitor the trends for Fidelity Trust and Loomis & Marlowe.
These two positions accounted for three-quarters of their total initial capital. Watching both stocks continue their steady decline, Mira finally let her guard down. They could comfortably rake in profits on these two for another day.
But the market was merciless. Right
in the middle of the afternoon session, Atlantic National Bank
abruptly declared bankruptcy. The news sent shockwaves through Wall Street-and detonated across the global financial sector like a nuclear bomb.
No one could comprehend it. How could an institution that had stood tall for over a
century simply collapse?
Shouts and anguished wails erupted simultaneously.
Across multiple trading floors, investors who had just lost everything were screaming in despair.
The sound of keyboards being smashed against desks and chairs being hurled against walls echoed through the halls.
Security and police officers quickly swarmed the buildings, physically dragging out hysterical traders who had resorted to destroying exchange equipment in their grief.
“A bank that big… it really went bankrupt p>
Wesley murmured, his face pale.
“It’s terrifying. Mira, thank you for your foresight. It’s the only reason we secured our funds and kept our sanity intact p>
Harvey said.
“You haven’t seen the worst of it yet p>
Hank said grimly.
In the main hall of the exchange, someone suddenly yelled, “Go to the bank! Maybe we can get something back p>
The desperate, red-eyed investors treated the shout like a lifeline, stampeding out
the doors and rushing toward the nearest Atlantic National branches.
“Do you think they’ll get anything back p>
Wesley asked.
“Yes. If there are any residual assets after the bankruptcy liquidation, they’ll be distributed among the shareholders.” Mira replied evenly “But as for how much they’ll actually get that’s a completely different story..
