During their last covert operation on Wall Street, Mira's team had made a killing. However, despite their best efforts to keep it quiet, industry insiders eventually caught wind of it.
Massive capital flowing in and out of borders was impossible to hide completely. Banks weren't completely airtight, and many top-tier figures possessed vast networks.
This was the primary reason Mira was so determined to establish Solflare National Bank.
Vivienne, who had been keeping a close eye on Mira's team, noticed their sudden disappearance from Mavaria and deduced with near certainty that they had gone to Wall Street.
Wasting no time, Vivienne rapidly mobilized her family's funds and headed straight there.
Vivienne was a seasoned veteran in the financial sector. As the Vice President of the Voss Group, she wielded significant power.
Fortunately, Ellis's masterful disguise skills meant Vivienne failed to locate Owen and Mira upon her arrival on Wall Street.
Vivienne was convinced they were there. Whether they were trading under hidden identities or simply biding their time in the shadows, she knew they were lurking.
It was a common tactic for traders on Wall Street, especially those lacking massive backing. Fighting the titans directly often invited relentless retaliation.
Unable to find Mira's team, Vivienne decided to enter the market solo.
She knew Mira was an undeniable genius. Her investigations revealed that while Mira didn't trade often, she possessed a flawless record whenever she did step onto the floor.
This held true whether she was dominating the domestic market or facing global finance.
Before the economic crisis, Mira and Owen had battled international giants on Wall Street. Rumor had it their domestic accounts swelled by trillions...
If Owen and Mira were capable of such feats, was Vivienne any less competent?
Absolutely not. Even without their guidance, she was confident she could win.
Pulling out now meant their sixty percent investment had doubled. Securing the guaranteed profits first was the smartest play.
In short, Mira's side had raked in over a trillion dollars, roughly equivalent to seven trillion Mavarian dollars. James had earned an identical fortune.
Naturally, the other three earned proportional returns, though their initial capital was significantly smaller compared to James and Mira's team.
Mira's collective positions on Wall Street were now large enough to sway market fluctuations. Their sudden exit caused the Baht's daily chart to spike noticeably.
In another exchange, the syndicate leaders slammed their hands on their desks in fury. "Who the hell is screwing with us? If I find out, I'll destroy them!"
Of course, "destroy" in their world meant financially ruining someone by swallowing all their assets. Merely killing an opponent was pointless; as long as the capital remained, someone else would just take their place.
After all, a massive syndicate never relied on a single trader.
