Chapter 52 Caught In Danger (1/2)
At Emp Stock Exchange, Brian stood in front of a huge screen watching the red and green numbers and charts on it, with indifference and contempt written on his face. The look in his eyes was filled with confidence and ruthlessness, and that arrogance suited those who were at the top of the pyramid.
Harrow stood beside him and was looking at the screen as well. The excitement in his gaze grew deeper and deeper. After the market had closed, he said cheerfully,” What a good job Aaron has done!”
Brian slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, then moved his gaze away from the huge screen and turned his eyes to the monitoring screen of the lobby. In the picture, some people were shouting madly, and some were crying loud; others, who were extremely overwhelmed, were standing still with paper and pen in their hands, and staring blankly at the screen in front of them.
In terms of these scenarios, the stock market could be likened to casinos. You might become a billionaire there overnight, or you might get debt-ridden in a second.
Brian enjoyed the thrill of ups and downs, and that was why he engaged only in stocks and casinos.
To witness the sudden change of lives in such a short period of time was like the excitement one could feel during a roller-coaster ride. It was dramatic and stimulating enough just to think about it.

He thought indifferently, 'How many people will end their lives after such an unexpected and unacceptable incident?'
”Not my business,” Brian sneered and said coldly,” and since they played their part in the game, they should have been prepared for such a result.”
Harrow fell silent. During this sudden change in the stock market, the stock prices of some promising companies declined so considerably that they were suspended from trading, while other stocks which weren't favored by most investors rocketed up in their values. However, these phenomena didn't happen by accident but were orchestrated by Brian. Whether in casinos or on stock market, the so-called 'luck' was actually a means of deceiving those who were ignorant to believe in it.
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. After Brian had replied ”Come in,” Tony pushed the door open and went inside. He glanced at Harrow, and then walked up to Brian and said,” Mr. Long, Miss Xia has left the villa.”
After hearing his words, the look in Brian's eyes immediately turned cold. He asked,” Didn't I s
