Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1119

Last time, Mira had taken the opposite position to them; she could only profit if they failed.

This time was different. They were betting in the same direction, sharing the same fate.

Just then, James's contacts leaked internal intel: Siam's government had issued massive amounts of treasury bonds to save the Siamese Baht's exchange rate.

Left with no choice, the syndicates mobilized another injection of funds to suppress the surge, barely managing to stabilize the market.

But two days later, the Siamese Baht's daily chart spiked again, forcing the syndicates to invest even more. After several rounds of this grueling back-and-forth, even the tycoons were exhausted.

Were they going to fail again? No, they absolutely refused to let that happen.

The capital they had poured in this time was double their previous investment. If they failed now, they would be knocked off their pedestals as global financial titans.

So, they went all in, even taking out collateral loans from other banks for one final, desperate gamble.

Some things were simply beyond control, especially a massive financial siege like this.

Mira knew they were making their last stand.

At this point, both the syndicates and the Siamese government were running on fumes. It all came down to who could hold out longer.

When their final wave of capital hit, the Siamese Baht hit its limit down again. Yet, the very next day, the chart surged once more, threatening to swallow the previous day's losses.

"Take out another twenty percent and increase our position," Mira ordered the group.

This time, even Mira broke her own rules.

She was worried that her team's investment might become the final straw that broke the camel's back.

After all, she had invested a massive sum herself; she couldn't just stand by and watch it go down in flames.

Soon after, the Siamese government could no longer hold the line. The tide instantly turned, plunging dramatically until it hit rock bottom for the day.

After the market closed, several international tycoons came over specifically to express their gratitude, offering to treat everyone to dinner. Mira turned them down.

It had been a close call, but Mira's roughly forty trillion dollars had doubled.

By this point, the initial couple of trillion dollars Mira had brought to Wall Street had skyrocketed to over a hundred and forty trillion.

Converted to Mavarian currency, it was astronomical—thirty times more than KLS, the former number one on the Forbes World's Billionaires List.

While there were plenty of hidden billionaires in the world who refused to be ranked, Mira's current net worth was absolutely on par with theirs.

With the money secured, it was time to head home. Owen still had a lot of family matters to deal with back in Aethelgard.

The next day, the syndicates began their withdrawal. Just as predicted, it caused a massive surge in the Siamese Baht foreign exchange market. Those who were even a step too slow in closing their positions suffered heavy losses.

"Mira really is a visionary. We already locked in our profits. Let them fight over the scraps,"

Wesley said with a grin.

Hank raised an eyebrow. "You're finally comfortable calling her Boss Mercer?"
