"Don't do anything just yet. Keep monitoring the market; nobody leaves this room until we've delivered results. Everything you need is right here, including a bathroom," Arthur declared.

His gaze piercing through each trader. "And don't worry about the commission, after this, each of you will receive 10,000."

Simon and the other traders exchanged excited glances, their eyes widening at the mention of commission.

They nodded eagerly, ready to dive into action. "Don't worry, Mr. Arthur! We're at your service!" Simon pledged with a serious nod.

"Good," Arthur replied calmly as he turned his attention to the stock price, which had already climbed to 26.3 per share.

Days passed in a blur as Arthur, Simon, and the other traders lived in that trading room, eating, sleeping, and even using the bathroom there.

Clara was a lifesaver during this time; she brought them blankets and meals while they focused on their screens.

Despite receiving numerous calls from family members checking on him, Arthur reassured them he was busy but safe.

Meanwhile, Aurora Technology's stock skyrocketed to an astonishing 97.9 per share!

Outside their trading room came sounds of excitement and disbelief as other traders reacted to this rapid rise.

"Mr. Arthur! The stock price has hit 98 per share!" Simon exclaimed.

"I know," Arthur replied coolly, unfazed by the numbers flashing before him. "Just wait; this isn't the limit."

The next day arrived quickly; Arthur was glued to his screen as Aurora's stock reached an exhilarating 100 per share!

His hands clenched tightly around his desk as sweat trickled down his brow, anxiety coursing through him like electricity.

"Mr. Arthur! Please have some water," Clara said gently while offering him a bottle with a warm smile.

"Thank you, Miss Clara," he replied gratefully before taking a long sip.

Suddenly, one of the traders shouted in shock: "Boss! News just broke that the CEO of Aurora Technology fabricated breakthrough claims, the news was released by one of their employees, authorities are already there in the company! It's also said that authorities are raiding their offices for tax evasion for the past five years!"

"What? This can't be happening!" Simon gasped in disbelief as admiration for Arthur swelled within him.

Clara stood wide-eyed; she had witnessed how rapidly Aurora's stock had risen but never expected such chaos would ensue.

"Look, the stock price is plummeting!" another trader yelled frantically as they all turned to see it drop sharply:

From 100

In less than an hour, it nosedived to just 10 per share!

"When it hits ₡4 per share, start buying!"Arthur turned to Simon, his voice steady and serious.

Simon was taken aback for a moment, surprised by Arthur's unwavering confidence that the stock would reach that price.

But he nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mr. Arthur." He quickly settled into his seat, eyes glued to the rapidly plummeting stock prices:

10.3

"Start buying now!" Arthur shouted as soon as the price hit ₡4 per share.

The room fell silent; Simon, two other traders, and Clara stared in disbelief when the price suddenly drop to ₡4per share, Arthur's prediction had come true! Without wasting a second, Simon and the others jumped into action, purchasing all 2.5 million shares at ₡4 each.

An hour later, flushed with excitement and adrenaline coursing through their veins, they marveled at their profits.

"Damn! This is incredible!" one trader exclaimed.

"I never thought short-selling stocks could be this exhilarating! The ups and downs are so stimulating!" chimed in another.

Simon was overwhelmed with shock and admiration as he looked at Arthur; his respect for him was almost palpable.

"Huh!" Arthur let out a huge sigh of relief as his heart finally settled down into a happy rhythm, a smile spreading across his face.

"Congratulations, Mr. Arthur! You've made quite a fortune," Clara said as she stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Thank you," Arthur replied with genuine happiness.

"How much did we make?" he asked Simon eagerly.

Taking a deep breath, Simon responded with a shaky voice, "Sir Arthur, you made 240 million Unicreds."

Arthur's eyes widened at the staggering figure; his heart raced with excitement as he clenched his fists tightly, he had never seen so much money before in either of his lives! With this windfall, he could ease some pressure on his family's finances.

"Thank you all; you did exceptionally well," Arthur said to Simon and the other traders.

"Don't mention it, Mr. Arthur; this is our job after all," Simon waved dismissively but couldn't hide his grin.

"As promised, your commission is ₡10,000 each after we wrap up today's work, I'll add another ₡10,000 for your time," Arthur added generously.

"Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!" Simon exclaimed joyfully.

The other traders shared in their excitement, it took them three days to earn just ₡20,000 each, more than what they earn annually!

"And Clara," he continued with gratitude in his voice," thanks for everything; I'll give you ₡15,000 ".

Clara blinked her eyes with surprise in them and said witha smile," The. I will have to thank Mr. Arthur for your generosity ".

Arthur nodded decisively, turning to Simon with a glint of determination in his eyes. "Withdraw the money and return the borrowed shares to the brokers. Deduct the costs and transfer the remaining funds into my bank account."

"Absolutely, Mr. Arthur," Simon replied with a nod, already diving into his tasks.

"Miss Clara, could you prepare two bank cards for me?" Arthur asked, glancing over at her.

"On it, Mr. Arthur!" Clara responded enthusiastically before heading off to handle the card procedures.

A smile crept across Arthur's face as he took one last look at the stock price, it had drop to an impressive $3.20 per share!

Sure, he could have made even more profit by waiting longer, but he felt content with his decision; after all, getting too greedy can lead to trouble.

"Mr. Arthur, everything is done," Simon announced as he turned back towards him.

Ding! A notification chimed on Arthur's phone.

He quickly pulled it out and his heart raced as he saw over 230 million Unicreds had been deposited into his account. What a relief!

"Mr. Arthur, everything is ready, here are your two bank cards," Clara said as she returned, presenting him with two exquisitely designed gold cards that shimmered in the light.

Arthur examined them for a moment before nodding in satisfaction and slipping them into his pocket. "Alright everyone, I'm heading out now; my family will start worrying about me if I don't get home soon. See you all later!"

He waved goodbye to Clara, Simon, and the other traders as he made his way out of the trading room.

As they watched him leave, admiration filled their expressions.

"What an intriguing guy!" Clara remarked with a smirk.

"President, do you know Mr. Arthur?" Simon asked cautiously.

"What do you think?" Clara replied playfully before exiting the trading room.

If only Arthur knew that Clara was actually the President of PNB's Neo-Luminara branch!

But alas, he was blissfully unaware and already speeding down the road with excitement radiating from him like sunshine on a summer day.

The Aether GT transformed into a dazzling blue-silver streak against the asphalt, a perfect reflection of his exhilaration!
