Stock Exchange (2)

He became the new owner of the 'Bank of Rosmedici,' remaining at the Black Label on behalf of Rockefeller.

"What the hell is he thinking? Buying those stocks..."

"I don't know. Why is he doing that all of a sudden? Does he want to lose money?"

Curious, the two watched closely to see what Joshua would do next.

"Look at that. Now he's buying different ones!"

"Is he crazy? Those ships are..."

Joshua's actions did not stop there.

He began indiscriminately buying stocks of several trading ships rumored to have been captured by pirates.

"From what I can see, they're all ships that have recently been captured by pirates, right?"

"Yes, all of them are stocks on the verge of being worthless, but he's buying them."

"Why is he buying them? They'll become worthless soon..."

Then, the two suddenly thought of something and wore surprised expressions.

Could it be...

That the ships rumored to have been captured by pirates would return?

"He's the guild leader's younger brother. Maybe he heard some news? Like the captured trading ships are returning."

"I just thought of that too. He shouldn't be doing that unless he's not planning on losing money."

"Right. He definitely shouldn't. There must be something."

It wasn't just the two of them.

Many investors in the stock exchange began to take an interest in Joshua, who was indiscriminately buying stocks of trading ships rumored to have been captured.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. He's the guild leader's brother, but he's buying all those worthless stocks at a cheap price."

"He's just collecting trash."

"Why is he doing that? I don't understand."

"I don't know either. I don't know why he's doing that."

As they watched closely.

Joshua was able to buy all the heavily discounted stocks like scooping them up with a hook.

Some of the stocks on the verge of being worthless quickly rose in price, but most people just stared blankly as they were known to be hopeless.

However, a few quick-witted individuals began to follow Joshua and buy the same stocks, but they could only buy them at a higher price than Joshua.

As the price of the stocks, which had become worthless, began to rise sharply.

Bob, who had been watching, spoke up.

"Hey, you're just going to stand by and watch the price of the stocks you sold rise like that?"

"I know. I'm thinking about it right now."

"The price has risen four times more than what you sold them for. You're not just going to watch, are you?"

"Ah..."

Bob was on the verge of exploding with anger.

Just a few minutes ago, his stocks had been worth 1/20th of their face value.

Due to the antics of the guild leader's brother, they had risen back to 1/5th of their face value.

'Why did I sell them when they were going up like this?'

"Why does the world mess with me? Where did St. John go?"

At that, Bob reacted.

"No, why are you looking for St. John when youre perfectly fine?"

Frustrated, Bob hit his chest.

"I'm frustrated. I don't know why this is happening when I sell!"

"So, are you going to buy? Or not? The price is still rising."

"I don't know. How am I supposed to know that?"

Bob couldn't ignore what Bell said.

However, there was one thing that bothered him.

He didn't have the courage to buy at a higher price than he had sold.

"What if it gets cut in half again... Ah..."

Bell, who was unable to grasp the situation, began to whisper in Bob's ear.

"Look. Everyone there is trying to buy those worthless stocks."

"So what?"

"You should buy some before it's too late! Look at that. The price is rising again!"

In the meantime, the stock prices that had risen due to Joshua were showing signs of rising again.

"It's rising again!"

Bob, who was holding his head in pain for a while, eventually rushed to the exchange employee to buy back his stocks at a higher price than he had sold them.

'Why did I sell them then?'

If only he hadn't sold them at that time!

The thought wouldn't leave his head, but it was already spilled water.

Bob, who had moved quickly to buy back his stocks before they rose even higher, returned to Bell with an unhappy expression.

As Bob returned, Bell hurriedly asked.

"How did it go? Did you buy them back?"

"I did. At an unbelievably high price."

How could he explain this unreasonable situation?

In a short time.

He had suffered a huge loss due to a wrong judgment.

"Still, it's a relief. If the ships return like this, you'll at least recover your initial investment."

Although it was unfortunate, Bob found comfort in that and headed out of the stock exchange with drooping shoulders.

Then, the two saw Joshua Rosmedici boarding a carriage outside the stock exchange.

'I should at least ask, right?'

His entire fortune, no, his life was at stake.

He would probably be sure, but...

Just in case, Bob stopped Joshua, who was about to board the carriage, and asked for a moment of conversation.

"Is the Morning Glory returning safely?"

Joshua looked at Bob, the owner of the small store who had called him.

"The Morning Glory?"

"Yes, didn't you just buy the stock?"

At that, Joshua began to show a lukewarm reaction.

"Well, I'm not sure about that?"
