“President. Currently, the transaction volume skyrocketed 340% compared to the previous day.

Due to that aftermath, the S&P 500 futures and spot index skyrocketed,

but an immediate plunge turn is expected due to liquidity distortion. [It] approached the circuit breaker trigger level.”

“But there was talk that authorities might suspend activation this time, right?”

“Yes, each exchange revealed they would minimize market stabilization measures.

Just whether actual application happens, [we] must watch the situation development.”

At the Manager’s report, I examined the stock market situation changing in second units.

And as I brought my hand to the corresponding stock market becoming an issue, intuition sent me an intense signal.

“Then [we] have to take out part of the funds again and put [them] here. [I] said [we] won’t do it, but

originally, that side is good at changing words, right?”

“Yes. There is sufficiently such risk. Then where should we take out the funds?”

My intuition glittered on the Europe-side stock market on the electric board.

“Let’s redistribute part of the funds. From the London portfolio side, I give the order from now—

give up boldly and input all to the S&P 500 side.”

“Yep.”

I unfolded the item list currently scattered in the London stock market.

There, [I] checked the places where my intuition sent a glittering signal.

“Please sell the places checked now preferentially and input.

Doesn’t matter if [it gives] shock to the market. Currently, our goal is raising the plunged index again.”

Work wasn’t all ended just because one [task] ended.

Immediately, the next emergency report came in.

“President. The plunge of the France stock market side is serious. When we primarily inputted money,

[it] seemed to skyrocket for a moment, but is falling out again quickly.”

“That is because of the credit problem, right?”

“Yes. A story is circulating that France’s credit rating will go down to A+ soon.

Probably, [it] seems unable to block the vertical drop due to that influence.”

France is a country with very many structural problems.

Could be called a case where a country ruined itself shouting only about typical welfare.

Welfare is truly a good thing.

If the elderly population is skyrocketing and welfare becomes insufficient, naturally crime, riot, and political instability increase.

Welfare policy exists to prevent that.

Also improves the quality of people’s lives, and further provides an economic growth base.

However, welfare must have sustainability eventually.

Exactly at that point, France’s welfare failed.

Because the time arrived where continuous welfare is impossible.

“So President Peron risked his approval rating and political life, entering powerful reform promotion,

but as you know, reform failed due to the opposition of an enormous number of people making the future clearly visible.

Due to this, [they] lost the trust of investors.”

France had [an] opportunity.

President Peron promoted reform, even giving up his own career, but the people opposed.

They made up their minds to take care of their comfortable safety,

instead of handing terrible debt to future generations.

In other words, due to such a factor, France alone was staggering despite us battering money in.”

“…..”

However, my intuition was still sending a positive signal to France.

Of course, not that many items, but…

Aren’t some items showing bright light distinctly?

“Please watch the items I checked here, and if the price goes down further, buy immediately.

[Empty] all assets the corresponding team possesses.”

“Yep.”

Whatever investment decision I make,

there was no person having doubt about that, or refuting.

That is because of our command room’s absolute rule.

So-called ‘Do not have ego.’

It is the slogan the Manager hung at the entrance and various places in the command room.

At first, [it] was embarrassing and funny too, but

thanks to it, [it] was good not needing to do lip wrestling.

“Team J-5. Throw all the quantity [you are] holding currently.”

However, just because the time for lip wrestling decreased didn’t mean there was time to rest.

I had to transmit instruction items to each team every time intuition sent a signal,

watching stock markets of various places in the world floating on dozens of monitors and a large electric board.

“….”

Maybe because of that, [I] couldn’t take [my] eyes off even for a single moment.

Because excessively much information is coming in real time,

and intuition is sending signals accordingly.

‘If [you miss] that moment, instant money is lost as is.’

This was a quickness fight.

Just because intuition sends a signal to me doesn’t mean winning money unconditionally.

While I am distracted elsewhere for a moment, there are cases of missing the timing intuition taught.

In other words, even having the ability called intuition,

in the world stock market where volatility changes in real time like now,

even 1 second late means that the opportunity flies away.

‘Plus, targeting the whole world, inputting this much money is also a first time.’

Not few places, investment targeting the whopping whole world stock market.

Even proceeding with an astronomical amount.

Information several times more than before, intuition several times more, was stimulating me.

Head was seemingly burning dry as the brain was overloaded already, but…

‘Cannot stop.’

Not doing this because of a mission sense that [I] must save the world stock market unconditionally.

Just this moment, concentrating on one thing, endorphins coming from this perfect immersion,

stirring inside blood vessels, making me into an awakened state, was too good.

I was feeling I was truly alive.

Especially the thrill and dopamine that tens of trillions of won might fly away even if hesitating just a few seconds

seemed to have dominated my brain.

I don’t know well either how many hours have flowed already.

Now forgetting tiredness too, [I] wanted to entrust [my] body to this massive game board that won’t come twice in [my] life.

***

“Is it now… about 3 days?”

“Yes. Now about to cross to the 4th day.”

To Prime Department employees here including Manager Seo, it was the 3 most heart-pounding days in life.

An investment where the company’s fate depends.

Furthermore, an investment where the world’s fate depends.

The stake there is a whopping 5,000 trillion.

If a normal person, [they] would not be able to breathe properly due to that pressure day by day.

At least the reason they could endure is because there was the process of being with President Jeong Jin-ho meanwhile.

“[We] still really tremble too much. Sometimes a few employees put [in a] wrong order by mistake,

or miss the timing, and every time, money flying away is in trillion units.”

That was the same for Manager Seo too.

[He] seems to have experienced all sorts of hardships beside President Jeong Jin-ho, but this was a different scale again.

If seeing money of trillion-unit disappearing by one mistake in front of [the] eyes, [it] really seems the mind will go out.

“But the President said so. [We] shouldn’t lose mental [stability] buried in such a mistake.

[He] also said if rebuking the employee who made [a] mistake severely, [they are] bound to make [a] bigger mistake.”

“But even if [we] want to rebuke, [we] cannot do [it]. Because the next order pours in immediately.”

“How on earth does the President do multitasking?

I am confused what is what, being distracted even handling just 3 stock markets.

Currently, the President is watching dozens of stock markets and issuing instructions alone, right?”

This is not some AI either.

[I] don’t know what impossible computer system is inside that head,

to be able to see those numerous stock markets and issue orders.

The goosebump-inducing thing is, President Jeong Jin-ho’s orders are always accurate.

Although suffering losses missing the timing several times, that wasn’t President Jeong Jin-ho’s mistake.

It was the fault of employees unable to click crazily fast receiving the instruction.

“But did the President sleep? We are moving in shifts now.”

“Yes. We are also sleeping, splitting time, but the President… seems not to have slept even a wink yet.”

“No. Then [it means] doing that without resting even 1 minute for 3 days? [What about] meals?”

“[He is] resolving meals roughly with sandwiches too, and issuing only orders all day.

As you know, due to the time difference, if [one] market closes, [another] market opens, right?

Consequently, having almost no time to rest.”

“Isn’t he going to collapse doing that?”

But seeing President Jeong Jin-ho’s appearance now,

[his] eyes were overflowing with more vitality than anyone soaked in fatigue here.

[We] shall say [he] looked too fine to say [he is a] person who worked without sleeping for 3 days.

“About how much money did we earn?”

“Currently, accurate estimation is impossible. Because [it is] moving excessively fast.

But… the certain thing is [we] earned enormously much.

The speed of earning is faster than the speed of losing money.”

Probably, the outline seemed to be caught within tonight.

The certain thing is, gaining newly as much as the money [we] put in following President Jeong Jin-ho’s command now.

How he is earning money, issuing orders calmly like that,

in a situation where hands are trembling just by looking, is just marvelous to see always.

Isn’t that truly a beast’s heart no one in the world can follow.

“By the way, the President doesn’t rest much now.”

“[He] said [he] earned enormously? Isn’t the currently estimated amount alone 20 Quadrillion? No.

[He] earned more than that. Isn’t this level already an all-time high?”

20 Quadrillion.

An amount making no sense.

But the reason that is possible is President Jeong Jin-ho’s possessed insight too, but also due to the market’s special situation.

No limit in transaction, and people are putting money into the stock market, everyone hearing Jeong Jin-ho’s thick appeal speech.

Could say hearts to recover the collapsing civilization, saving the world stock market with one heart and one will, gathered.

“Right. But [he] said if [he] could enter the China stock market and the Russia market too,

[he] could have earned much more.

So [he] told [them] to inquire to the head office if there isn’t a method to open those two markets.”

[I] wanted to ask why [he is] doing up to that extent, but endured.

How can a sparrow know a phoenix’s will.

“Plus, the President put focus on saving the world stock market, rather than the purpose of earning money.

Earlier too, at [the] word asking to please rest a little, [he] said if he rests now,

[he] cannot keep [the] promise to save the world stock market.”

“Ha. Really… The whole world’s people should know our President’s hard work.”

Jeong Jin-ho’s heart for the world stock market was a level of tsunami of emotion surges looking from the side.

Would people know Jeong Jin-ho’s struggle to protect the world’s civilization?

By the way, the China and Russia markets…

“Did [you make an] inquiry to the head office?”

“Yes, [the] answer came [that] they would try to find a method somehow, but… Wouldn’t it be difficult?”

Places already collapsed by civil war.

Currently, war is in full swing too.

Opening a stock market in such a place.

Never [an] easy thing.

***

“How did it go? [Is he] still investing continuously?”

Sentinel’s Anthony Watson lives with fun watching the world stock market going around these days.

“Yes. Under President Jeong Jin-ho’s command, repeating buy and sell continuously, shaking the whole world market.”

Really no different from [a] crazy guy.

[He] did all sorts of shows saying saving the world stock market.

Eventually, what he does was scalping.

That too with an amount beyond imagination.

Who in the world would have imagined hitting scalping with that much money, against the whole world stock market too.

“Indeed, because [he] had such madness, [he] raised Gwangwoon to this degree.”

“Yes. Surprising whenever looking. Surely [they] didn’t predict at all

he would hit the back of the whole world’s head, appealing with tears coming on media.”

But there was a thing to pay attention to here.

“But certainly there is an effect, right?”

“Yes. Governments now also seem greatly flustered, not knowing at all [that] Gwangwoon would do scalping,

but looking at the result, the stock market is reviving.

As Gwangwoon gives big shocks to the market continuously through scalping, people are flocking.”

Gwangwoon’s method was like a stock manipulation force.

Battering money hugely into specific items, pulling up the stock price high, then

selling all again, making it drop to the bottom.

But repeating this not once but endlessly.

That too in the whole world stock market.

Consequently, ordinary people who were reluctant to enter at first also

put money, emptying savings even, eyes turning at the upper limit piercing the ceiling.

In short, [it] means everyone crazy in dopamine, wet in the fantasy called life reversal, putting money.

“And this scalping trading is not simply for the purpose of Gwangwoon to earn money.

Looking at the flow until now, Gwangwoon is aiming at Wall Street clearly.”

“Meaning destroying the financial cartel?”

“Yes. If Wall Street puts money to catch up the upper limit, selling immediately,

[they are] repeating work destroying the price.

Due to that, currently companies representing Wall Street are driven to the brink of bankruptcy.”

Would this be [a] coincidence.

Items Gwangwoon buys were sniping the financial cartel one by one.

Making the items the financial cartel possesses into tissue paper, and scooping up other things.

“Not only that, crushing all companies where equity fight was almost impossible meanwhile,

so if simply going like this, Gwangwoon possesses all companies difficult to acquire meanwhile,

virtually taking the management rights of all influential large enterprises at a cheap price.”

“But are governments not blocking [it], knowing that clearly?”

“[They] cannot block. The market is already open, and numerous people are gathered in the stock market Gwangwoon pulls up.

If [they close] the market to block Gwangwoon’s monopoly now, a great riot will happen.”

In other words, Gwangwoon didn’t give [a] choice this time too.

Their method is always like this.

Always giving only an extreme choice to the opponent.

[They are] just watching what Gwangwoon does quietly, or dying trying to block that.

What crazy politician would choose [the] latter.

“By the way, this time [they] say [they are] trying to find a way to open the China and Russia side market at the head office.”

“Is that [a] possible thing? [It is] impossible to open [a] stock market because [of the] civil war. Holding business would not be easy too.”

“Yes. For that to be possible, probably the civil war must end.”

Ending the civil war.

For Gwangwoon to govern this world truly, civil war was [a] thing [that] shouldn’t exist.

The reason they induced civil war was only solely to make [a] situation like now.

In the world Gwangwoon wants to make, civil war was [a] variable that must disappear.

“[There is] no direct instruction to us?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Anthony narrowed [his] brow.

What would it mean, flowing only such information and no clear instruction item.

Meaning Gwangwoon will finish [the] work through another shadow organization, moving not Sentinel.

[They are] still trusting that shadow organization more than Sentinel?

[His] pride couldn’t help but be hurt.

How much effort Sentinel made meanwhile to make this borderless empire!

[We] cannot have that credit taken away by other guys.

“Eventually, to silence [the] civil war, [a] specific force has no choice but to have mighty power.”

“If [a] mighty power…”

“[The] nuclear missile control right Russia and China lost currently.”

“!?”

Two countries lost [the] nuclear missile control right, entangled complicatedly as losing heads mutually.

[They] have nuclear, but [are] actually not being able to launch.

“To Gwangwoon, [the] nuclear missile is [the] biggest variable.

They wouldn’t want to leave it to ruin [the] empire made with effort.”

“Then [it means] what Gwangwoon wants is not simply opening the Russia and China stock market…”

“Right, opening [the] stock market means the civil war almost ends eventually, right?

Eventually, this is nothing but [a] good pretext.”

What Gwangwoon really wants was separate.

“Exactly [the] nuclear missile control right Russia and China have, Gwangwoon wants that now.”
