Previous night, after eavesdropping Victoria, Black had booked a flight on a jet for rental. He needed something with lesser documentation and fast. With what he was going to do the next day, he knew he had to be slick, fast and ready. He knew a little delay would be the end of everything Arthur had worked for. Everything he had worked for...
A stitch in time save lives.
He had started mapping out his near perfect plans before leaving Victoria's place. To make his plans perfect, he needed Echo.
The next day, after leaving Victoria's place, Black had prompted Echo to stir up chaos at Laven enterprise and it had done that well. Pretty well, that it was already over the news and mainstream within the hour.
Black had streamed the news via his computer for updates and had decided to proceed with his second plan.
First, he had personally issued a lawsuit against Laven enterprise for breach of legal terms and agreement. Then he sent a mail to a top media station regarding a top anonymous investor of Laven enterprise wanting to sue. Then he captioned the mail with "Hot News Update".
Within few minutes, media stations were already slamming the screen with 'Breaking News'.
'An anonymous investor of Laven enterprise has filed a lawsuit against Laven enterprise for an alleged breach of legal agreement...This information was .....'
"Now watch as the fire intensifies..." Black said clapping at his ingenuity.
With the legal issue on the news, now every investors started filing up lawsuits. Everything with a cause has an effect. And the effect has boomeranged on Laven stocks.
The more the chaos, the more the dips.
Black stoop up to get some coffee, adding some milk and stirring, "Echo...."
YES BOSS. WHAT CAN I DO THIS TIME?
"How about you falsify a SOS(Save-Our-Soul) message from Laven to BlackPool and let us see if they would keep to their promises to the CEO".
YES BOSS, ON IT. ANYTHING ELSE?
"Yes, thanks for asking. How about we play a bet?".
A BET? WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
"I believe that BlackPool would want to keep to their promises, especially if they know that Victoria has not gotten the document they paid $15 million dollars for. As long as I am still anonymous, BlackPool would do anything. Do you think otherwise?"
WELL, THERE IS NO NEED TO BET, BOSS. YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE CAN BET AGAINST? LAVEN STOCK.
HOW ABOUT WE BUY LAVEN STOCK EVERY ONE HOUR. $50 MILLION DOLLARS EACH ON EVERY PURCHASE UNTIL YOU GET ON THAT JET. I WANT TO BELIEVE BEFORE THEN, BLACKPOOL WOULD HAVE INTERVENED.
"Hmmm, such a nice idea, mate". Black shrugged.
"I still don't understand why you would want to do that, Echo.."
DO NOT WORRY BOSS. WHEN I AM DONE YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND. ALL I JUST NEED IS A PROMPT WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.
Black sighed. He knew Echo was built for this, but risking $50 million dollars per hour on a gamble against BlackPool loyalty for a mere document is insane and unbelievable.
He was not having it, but he could not deny it. Echo was and has proven to be excellent at its decision making.
'Was him being caught that important to BlackPool or was Arthur that treacherous for BlackPool to invest their resources against him..'
Well, like Echo said, he was about to find out.
But for now, the third plan is to make an appearance at Laven enterprise, in mind, body and face. No more hiding in Jos. It was time to leave.
He had all the documents he needed for his houses. Even if Laven enterprise went bankrupt right now, as long as his documents are intact, the houses would forever be his own. Black had arranged for his necessary luggages and sent for a dispatch.
After he was all dressed up. He made his way towards Laven enterprise.
Stock was crashing, investors were suing, stakeholders were panic selling, there was fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD). Amidst all the chaos, BlackPool received the SOS mail and decided to save the day. Due to the urgency of the situation, they had failed to scrutinize the authenticity of the message. And in order to take all the glory, they had summoned Victoria to be the face of BlackPool altruistic move.
Victoria announced that BlackPool would be supporting Laven enterprise stocks with a $500 million dollars investment.
The news was propagated all over the media station and because of that, a new wave arose. But it was not chaos, it was euphoria. Stakeholders who had sold started buying hard. Investors started dropping their lawsuits and investing more, and the pump began. The fastest pump ever was happening to Laven stock right there.
"Yeah! They took the bait". Black exclaimed in his taxi while on his way to Laven.
"Sir??". The driver was taken by surprise at the sudden reaction.
"Oh, sorry. Yeah, just drop me there. I have arrived at my destination".
Black alighted from the taxi and paid the driver with a tip.
He made his way to the CEO office and met the CEO and Victoria seated. He greeted and picked up the sealed file right in front of the CEO.
Victoria was shocked by the actions of Black at that moment. She was surprised to see him, and probably happy, but she could not understand why the things in front of her were happening.
She knew Black was quite a regular at Laven enterprise, but she did not know if he was regular enough to come into the CEO office without calling through the reception, or even entering without knocking. Maybe they were friends.
But she was stunned even more by the reactions of Laven CEO the more.
Why was he fidgety?
Why was he sweating?
Why was he stammering?
What is going on?
Those were the questions filling up her minds. But she could do nothing as she watched everything unfolds.
Black picked up his documents from the CEO desk nonchalantly. He was watching the CEO's reaction to his unexpected presence, but he could care less.
Right now, everyone can go to hell.
"Should I tell you that nothing happened to Laven stock market today? That everything was just false alarm.."
"Let me guess, you didn't know I would find out. I guess you even invested the money you got from BlackPool into Laven stocks..."
Victoria at this point was in a trance. HOW DID HE KNOW ABOUT THAT.
"Well, now that you have BlackPool support, I hope you will enjoy the fruits of your labour..." Black laughed and opened the office door about to leave.
Then he turned back and said, "Victoria Frost, It was nice knowing you all along. I hope I meet you again and maybe we would cut each others head or we would find a common ground and make things right. My name is William Junior. The man you have been looking for".
Black closed the door behind him and left.
Victoria was frozen at that spot, and livid. She was a cauldron of millions of emotions mixed together. She was so dumbfounded that she could not act or even call BlackPool about her recent and most outrageous findings.
By the time she had recovered from her shock, Black had already gotten to the jet terminal and was ready to go airborne.
But before he did, he connected with Echo and prompted it to remove the false bug on Laven stock and it should show the real value.
I WAS ABLE TO BUY $400 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF LAVEN STOCK. OUR GAMBLE STRUCK, BLACKPOOL CAME TO THE RESCUE FOR LAVEN WITH A $500 MILLION DOLLARS PURCHASE. SHOULD WE TALK ABOUT THE FEAR OF MISSING OUT THAT FOLLOWED? CRAZY RIGHT.
"Yeah, it was orgasmic and hilarious, I have got ti admit. You are that genius." Black laughed.
RIGHT NOW EVERYONE WOULD BE SHOCKED THAT THERE WAS ACTUALLY NOTHING WRONG WITH LAVEN STOCK, AND THERE WAS NO NEED FOR BLACKPOOL TO SUPPORT OR MAKE SUCH ANNOUNCEMENT OF $500 MILLION DOLLARS INVESTMENT.
"So they are going to think that the FUD and PANIC SELL was engineered by BlackPool for its own profiteering and personal gains against stakeholders ".
"And that comes with a boomerang effect of distrust by the public and what comes next? massive selling". Black exclaimed, "Wonderful!"
"What is the current stock gain of Laven enterprise?"
FOUR THOUSAND PERCENT IN 8 HOURS.
"Jeez!"
Stammering, "What is the current gains of our investments right now?". Black asked.
$16.4 BILLION DOLLARS, CHIEF.
Black laughed at the incredible figures he just heard. Amidst his awestruck, the jet captain gave the announcement for readiness to take off.
Black stopped laughing and regained his composure, then commanded Echo.
"You know what to do Echo, dump it".
Black disconnected the device and rested his back on his seat, ready to enjoy his flight out of the town.
The news and media stations were on fire, as each station kept announcing the same message over and over again.
"Breaking News!"
"A whale transaction just happened on Laven Stock price, and a total sum of $16 billion dollars worth of shares was sold by an anonymous investor...right now as we are speaking, Laven stock which had the biggest gains of the century by four thousand percent has crashed to negative ten percent within ten hours and further decline is expected....The biggest pump and dump of the century ".
