One of the team members walked up to the door and opened it. He suddenly went silent and stood transfixed at the door. Others behind him couldn't see who the person at the door was because his huge figure was practically blocking out all view. Jed wasn't paying attention to whoever it was because he was too busy listening to the coach give the pros and cons of the weightlifting event. He was also attentive so as not to miss any tip that could be useful when a familiar voice asked, "I want to see Jedidiah. Is he here?"Not only him, other boys also glanced over to the door. The voice was surprisingly pleasant and had caught the attention of many.The boy at the door finally gave way and others reacted like they have never seen a girl before.Because the one that stood at the doorway in simple shorts and body-hug top was too beautiful. They'd seen different gorgeous girls at the college before but the one at the doorway had this kind of refreshing beauty which was rare.Unlike other

"Is it okay if I drop you off at the estate first before taking young master Jetti to the conference center?" The chauffeur asked as the car came to a stop at a crossroad due to the traffic lights regulating.Jed nodded. It would waste time but he couldn't just abandon his friends. However, Ben spoke up, "Never mind. We'll get off here. I already hired a designated driver from Uber."He raised his hand to show the tracking device on the phone that indicated the driver was nearby. Whatever Jed had to attend dressed so formally was important so they couldn't mess that up."See you later," Eric waved as they closed the door. Jed gave them a grateful smile and waved back."Boss—""To the conference center. Don't exceed your speed limit but get me there as soon as possible."They got to the major conference center in Philadelphia some minutes later and Jed got out of the car. He waited for the chauffeur to drive the vehicle to the car park as he was going to drive home himself later. Whil

About a quarter of the traders were reduced after this first eviction round. Other traders witnessed how their competitors were thrown out without mercy and tightened their stance.This was only the first round and so many traders have already been evicted. Jed looked around and happened to make eye contact with the man from earlier. His huge lips curled up in a sneer as he snorted at Jed.Fine! This brat managed to survive this round because it was too easy. Let's see how he'll cope with the difficulty later.Jed chuckled hearing his thoughts. He mused to himself, "Old man, did anyone ever tell you the red mask on your face is ugly? It really makes your obese figure stand out."If only the man was close enough to hear what he said, one could be sure he would probably crush Jed with his obese figure!"Alright... Alright. Attention please," The hall quietened at the voice of the MC. "Moving on to the next round—"He glanced down at the tab on the podium in front of him. "The next comp

Perhaps because of the unfortunate incident, the break was quickly concluded. As the MC mounted the podium, traders returned looking wary of the others.But after the previous eviction, they had reduced incredibly. "The next event on our list is the risk management contest."The traders didn't mumble like the previous times, instead they waited patiently for the MC to explain. "For this risk management contest, it simply means you have to make a series of stock picks from the given stocks and then you will be presented with simulated "market events" or news updates that may affect your chosen stocks."The traders felt this contest sounded interesting compared to the previous ones.The MC continued, "Then you must decide whether to hold, sell, or buy more based on these events. The winning position will be awarded to the one who manages risk effectively and maintains or increases their portfolio value."The traders regained their confidence. This was like the real stock market. All of

Jed frowned. The hand on the bag of chips tightened. When they saw his reluctance, they inched closer frighteningly as if to add him to the collection of their previous victims."Haha! It's over for him now," The couple in the room watching the scene bellowed.Even the higher-ups were worried. "He should have backed out of the contest when he had a chance. How will he fight back now?"Only Lord of Stocks looked unperturbed. He rested his head on one hand and looked at the TV lazily like he was expecting something to happen."Security!" Jed's loud voice halted the traders movement. They paused for a while and then burst into laughter."Oh no, it seems we have scared little brother. Isn't he aware that there are no rules so we can do anything. Even the security can't help him now. Hahaha!"But two security guards appeared. Jed stood and walked to them. They quickly recognized him as they were the ones to receive him at the entrance earlier.But they knew the situation inside and there w
