Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 982

"When Luminary strikes, the market shatters."

This legendary saying was born from the blood and tears of countless ruined traders. Anyone who played the financial markets knew her name.

"Pull back," Corvus finally rasped after a long deliberation. "She's too ruthless. If we keep fighting, we'll be the ones broken."

"We might as well give her the win now. We'll be crossing paths again soon enough."

"Yes, sir."

But just as the subordinate moved to execute the order, Subterra Vanguard suddenly stopped buying.

Then, without a moment's hesitation, they dumped their entire position.

"Corvus—"

Seeing Subterra Vanguard's move, the subordinate nearly dropped his phone in shock.

Subterra Vanguard had pulled out, but the Schwartz Group was still aggressively buying!

This meant Sanctum Holdings was about to get bled dry a second time!

"Is Subterra Vanguard helping the Schwartz Group?!" Corvus kicked over his chair, his eyes bloodshot with pure rage.

Weren't Subterra Vanguard and the Sigma Network supposed to be mortal enemies?

"Perhaps Specter just wanted to butcher us for a massive payout," the subordinate offered nervously. "Subterra Vanguard and the Sigma Network have a deep-seated grudge. They've tried to wipe each other out multiple times."

"If they ever joined forces, the sun would have to rise in the west."

In just half an hour, Subterra Vanguard hadn't just recovered their losses—they had raked in over a billion dollars in pure profit.

And every single cent had been carved straight out of Sanctum Holdings' flesh.

The retail investors who had blindly followed Subterra Vanguard's lead were currently celebrating their massive windfalls.

"Corvus, the Schwartz Group is still buying..." the subordinate warned.

They might be trying to pull the exact same trick. A feint to gorge themselves before running off.

Sanctum Holdings was turning into a laughingstock.

"Stop trading."

Corvus ground out, his bloodshot eyes glued to the screen. "Let them have their arrogant little victory for now. When the time comes..."

The subordinate knew exactly what he meant.

This was a massive, overarching game of chess Corvus had been playing for years. They were so close to the endgame; they couldn't afford any fatal mistakes now.

...

With Sanctum Holdings abruptly retreating, the Schwartz Group seized the perfect opportunity and bought up everything.
