บท 28: Chapter 27: Unexpected change

***Third-person P.O.V.

( Breaking news, just before the opening of the share market we received concerning news that Japan has entered into another recession and things were not looking good with many people selling their shares in fear.

What are your thoughts on this, Charles?

Rick, today there might be a lot of people trying to get out of the market but once the rush calms down a bit those same people would be filling the vacuum once again.

So you think this is temporary?

Yes, I do. )

I smirked as I gaze at 200k sitting in my account before shifting my attention to my next target.

I searched about the most popular event that was just about to happen to find the merger talks between Yahoo! and eBay.

I was pretty sure that the merger didn't happen so I could make something out of it.

While I couldn't earn much from the merger itself, I could once again buy fortune about Nasdaq falling because if the merger failed then it was bound to affect the market negatively.

Once I was done with that, I returned to writing source codes for my program. It should be done in a week.

He climbed the stairs with a steady beat with horror in his eyes. Nothing was left in his savings or his account, he lost everything in a single day.

He opened the door before walking toward the edge of the roof and taking a deep breath.

" I'm sorry " Was the last word that he uttered before he jumped from the roof to end his miserable life.

( Numerous people had committed suicide today with wall street being having the largest numbers. The stock market dropped highly today which erased several people's invested money in a flash. Rick, Can you explain to our audience why this happened?

Lena, First of all, I want to say that please do not invest all your money in the market. It is giving an invitation to the disaster as the share market is a highly fluctuating and risky market.

Moving on to why this happened has a basic answer, Where do you the money comes from when you earn profit? It is all from the people that lost it. It is especially true in fortunes as if you win then there must be someone you lost, plain and simple, so there might be someone today that made money from all these people that had committed suicide.)

I inputted all the money that I earned into several dummy accounts I made in swiss banks and other places that provided tax freedom.

Once my program was running, I made a few different Identifications with its help and then used them to make these dummy accounts.

I got up and exited the room as I walked to Tania's room since I knew that she was inside. I knocked twice before I received permission to enter.

" Yes," She was busy writing a thesis.

" I got a job in a new company and they gave me an assignment to do for which I have to leave for some time. " Now that I had the necessary money, It would be easier to get resources needed to get Serena online.

" Okay, When will you be going? " She shifted her complete attention on me.

" I don't know, maybe in a few days. " It would take some time to find a good and safe place in where I could build the servers and other stuff.

" Okay " She smiled before returning to her work. I took that as the end of the conversation and exited the room.

" Hello, is this mister Albert? " I put the cell phone on the speaker as I browsed through the internet and dark web to find materials that I needed.

" Yes, this is Albert speaking. May I know who is on the other side?" An old voice came from the speaker.

I found Albert through a newspaper ad recently and when I researched a little about him I realized that he was the perfect candidate.

Albert had a rough life, he had two bright children but both died before him while his wife left him alone. He has a house on the outskirts but no one wanted to buy it right now because everyone were investing in the share market because of the high boom in recent years.

" Hello, Mr. Albert. This is Abraham. We discussed the purchasing of your house through email before. " I used a different identity of mine to converse with him.

" Ahh, yes. I remember you, sir. What have you decided? "

" Yes, we have decided to purchase it. A young worker of mine would be coming to give the signed documents as well as transfer the money to you on the spot. What do you think, sir? " I took a sip from the coffee before replying. I smiled as I nodded at Emma who was in direct view from here in the kitchen.

She smiled proudly before returning to cleaning the dishes with gusto. I agreed to let her use my computer in exchange for a wonderful coffee.

" Okay, he can visit on Monday." He replied after a silence.

" Okay, sir. It was a pleasure doing business with you. " I said goodbye before ending the call.

" You could use the guest account," I entered the kitchen before leaning against the wall.

" Who were you talking to? " Daniel asked me as he entered the kitchen and walked to the fridge before taking out a drink.

" A client of my boss. I need to deliver some documents to him on Monday before I would be going out for my assignment. " I shrugged my shoulders.

" So you will be going out for how long? " We entered the dining room and took seats on the table.

" Not sure but I would be receiving advanced payment so I would pay advanced rent before I leave. ", He nodded to that as he leaned backward to show his exhaustion.

Molly was present in the room and was listening to our talk, " Can I play games on your computer while you were gone? "

" Molly " Danial abolished her but I interrupted him.

" You can, I would lock the administrator account but you guys could use the other one perfectly fine. It's not like there is much in my room that requires privacy. " I nodded at her and she smiled excitedly before running to her sisters to tell the news.

" You are spoiling her." We both to at her disappearing figure.

" She reminds me of someone. " I stiffly smiled before rising from my chair.

" Going somewhere" He questioned as I turned to leave.

" Yeah, just for a walk. " I left after that to get some fresh air.
