Jedidiah Jetti's Transmigration CH166: Short-Selling
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
Jedidiah Jetti's Transmigration CH167: Violence
"Hmph! Don't touch me. I'll leave myself."As the winner was announced, those that lost were also evicted. Some walked out haughtily while others looked crestfallen.But these didn't matter to other traders remaining. They clapped their hands and smiled in a false show of affection but each of their cunning eyes were darting around.They wanted to know who the trader with the placard 20J was. Jed wasn't so foolish not to sense their malicious intentions so in order not to arouse suspicion, he joined the crowd and clapped along.Whether it was a coincidence or not, he made eye contact with that chubby man from earlier again and the latter didn't look too pleased to see him again.It seems like this brat had more guts than he had estimated!"Old Lord, it seems like w really underestimated your lad. He really has some guts!"The old men that had protested that J.J didn't stand a chance amongst experienced traders were slapped in the face and could only admit their wrong judgment.Lord of
Jedidiah Jetti's Transmigration CH168: Grand Prize Reward
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
Jedidiah Jetti's Transmigration CH169: Survival Of The Fittest
The MC laughed upon seeing the accusing gazes on the faces of the traders below. He didn't put away the microphone so his voice echoed through the speakers in the hall."My my... Pardon my manners. Are these veterans afraid of being cuckolded?"No one answered but their expressions affirmed his question. So he hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry but these are the rules. For safety reasons, we aren't allowed to disclose the grand prize until the contest is concluded."The traders were dissatisfied with the answer and soon began to grumble their complaints."As for the other question, it was my mistake. I should have mentioned that the winner of each contest gets a cash prize of fifty million dollars each while the second and third runner up are compensated with twenty million dollars."The traders were stunned. Such huge prizes given away just like that. Although to some of them, these funds were nothing but to others like small time stock traders that managed to get their way in, it was
Jedidiah Jetti's Transmigration CH170: Mr Money Bag
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
Jedidiah Jetti's Transmigration CH171: The Bag Belongs To Us
[Ping... Ping...][Host system sends a danger alert!]Vendetta's voice chimed in his head as the hoodlums who seemed to have been waiting for him formed a circle around him.Jed frowned and his hands clutching the money bag held on tightly."Who are you?" His cold voice seemed to penetrate into them. "You have something that belongs to us," One of the hoodlums said. "We are here to take it back and return it to the rightful owner."Jed's lips pursed coldly. Are they talking about the money bag? Is this contest a sham? Why give out a money bag when they would end up retrieving it back through despicable means?He actually suspected the organizers of the NSC."Kiddo, give it back and we won't hurt you.""I won this money bag with my own abilities. Why should I give it to you?"Jed's words confirmed to them that the moneybag was indeed with him. Their eyes gleamed in dark with greed.They inched closer, almost closing up on him. "If you refuse to give us the money bag, don't blame us fo
Jedidiah Jetti's Transmigration CH172: If You Like Someone...
To Jed's relief, Liana didn't say a word to him even when they got to her family's house. A place that practically looked like a palace and gave an insight of how wealthy Lord of Stocks must be.So Liana's background was this influential? No wonder no one could find out anything about her background back then at Elite High.'Can you afford her?' A weird thought suddenly pricked his mind causing him to be amused.When all the guests headed into the house, he noticed her observing his car as he handed the key over to the valet. She looked like she was taking note of the car's model. When she decided she had had enough and turned to leave, their eyes met.She gave him a knowing look and he smiled nervously. "I borrowed it from a friend," He cooked up a lie while making a mental note to reserve an Uber driver for later.If he were to drive the car back home, she would definitely know it was him.Liana didn't respond like what he said was unnecessary but she didn't look convinced either.
Jedidiah Jetti's Transmigration CH173: Huge Appetite
Everyone was asleep when Jed returned. He walked into his room quietly, discarded all his clothes and took a shower before heading to bed.Just when he got it in, he received a call. "Young master," Johnny sounded hesitant like he perhaps thought he might be disturbing his sleep but he didn't want to send a message again."Good evening, Mr Skye. It's quite late."He was relieved after hearing Jed's voice because it didn't sound like the latter was sleeping yet."Young master, I called regarding tomorrow's meeting. Which one of the two real estate brokers do you want to see first?"Jed sat up and took a small sticky notepad from the bedside stand to quickly do some calculations. He frowned when he saw what he solved."Mr Skye, I will get back to you. I'll send a message. It's late now. You should rest.""Alright. Goodnight young master. I'll be expecting your feedback."A tut-tut sound followed. 'Vendetta,' Jed called out, rubbing his face in frustration. 'Do I really have just twent

CH258: Revelation ii
The entire Powell family was left dumbfounded by the unexpected twist. Mr. Harry, the patriarch, spoke up, his voice strained with disbelief, "Selena Morgan? That's my sister." The room fell into a heavy silence, broken only by Mrs. Powell's sharp intake of breath. "What!!!" Her eyes widened with shock and remorse. She had, unknowingly, harbored resentment toward her best friend's child for years. Mrs. Powell, her voice quivering, admitted, "Selena and I were best friends. I never knew... I never realized Estelle was her daughter yet I've unintentionally harbored this hatred towards her all this while." The room buzzed with mixed feelings. Joy and confusion lingering in the air. The family felt heavy with the surprising news, trying to understand the mix of feelings and the complicated connections that had just been revealed. Drake, still grappling with the newfound knowledge that Jed was his biological cousin, couldn't shake the conflicting emotions. As he observed the joyous
CH257: Reconcilation <i>
"Mmph!"Liana thought he was distracted and leaned in to steal a kiss but at the last minute to her disappointment, his large palm blocked her lips.Jed could feel her pout beneath his palm so he smiled and removed it before pulling her towards him tightly and kissing her till she was out of breath.Her face was as flushed as a beetroot red. He smiled and kissed her swollen lips again before looking down lovingly to tell her,"Don't play around. We'll be at Powell's residence soon and we have to be on our best behavior.""Okay," Liana nodded with an innocent look. "I'll try to remember that."Jed chuckled, shaking his head helplessly. As the car continued the journey, he couldn't help thinking of Vendetta's words.What was it trying to insinuate by stating the members of the Powell's are six instead of five? Could it be experiencing a glitch?"Sir, we are here."After some time, the car came to a stop in front of the magnificent Powell's family residence.Jed got out and led Liana in.
CH256: Jed's Main Objective
"Dad, I have some important work later which I cannot cancel or postpone so count me out," Drake's face was distraught with annoyance."I can tell you are lying. You are the boss and you can easily handle any work.""Dad," Drake got exasperated. He clutched the handle of his swiveling chair tightly. "What makes you think I'll really go to dinner with Jed? He and I are archenemies."Jack's ears perked up upon hearing that name. What could that little brother of his be up to now?Why would he invite the Powell's to dinner?"Drake," Harry's tone turned stern. "If you don't come home tonight, you know what I can do. Those shares of mine that are still in the company aren't for an act."Drake gritted and clutched the phone tightly. Although he is the CEO of their family business, his father still remains the chairman and the old man possesses a fair amount of shares that could make him wary."I'll be there."Jack's eyes flashed fiercely when he heard this. Drake looked clearly unwilling, w
CH255: Are You Threatening Me?
Powell's HQR"Mr Drake, you have guests," A secretary walked in to inform the CEO who was sitting in front of a computer with a pair of glasses on his face.Drake didn't look up or respond. He only flicked his fingers indicating for the guests to be led in.The secretary nodded and stepped out. When the door reopened, he finally looked up. His eyes glazed with surprise at his august visitors. He stepped away from the computer and dropped his glasses."What a pleasant surprise," He turned to signal to the secretary to bring up refreshments.As he motioned to Jack to have a seat, he stretched out his hand for a handshake."To what do I owe this special visit? Welcome back."Jack smiled, accepted his handshake and looked around the office. "I can see why you are number one. The interior design is topnotch."Drake's face softened with a smile and he shrugged, "Young master Jetti really knows how to joke around a lot. If you want, I can direct the team of designers that di
CH254: Get To Know Each Other
"Mr Powell, don't get grandma so worked up. It's fine if you don't want to talk about whoever you—" Jed led grandma Powell to a bench."My sister. Don't mention her. Anyone that ran away from one's family for years without looking back doesn't deserve to be family.""Harry, don't be so mean," His words made the grandma upset as her eyes dimmed with tears.Jed silently noted whoever Mr Powell's sister was must have been important to the old madam. Why did she run away... Jed didn't think intruding too much would be acceptable but he knew now her running away from home must have hurt Mr Powell so much that he doesn't even want to talk about her."Grandma, I'll be sad if you are sad. I came all the way today just to visit you?"His words made grandma Powell guilty and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face. "Boy, you are such a sweet talker. I want to go for a walk. Come. I'll show you the beautiful flowers I have planted myself in this garden."With this, Jed led the old woman. Hand in
CH253: The Boss Is Back
The prison doors opened and a young man with a rough appearance and outgrown beards stepped out.He looked around and finally found the person he was searching for. With a smile that lit up his slightly tanned face, he walked to the person awaiting his arrival."Younger brother," He called out. "How long has it been and you are already all grown up. I'm glad you didn't let me down."Cullen accepted these compliments with a smile and informed him, "Elder brother, I have completed all formalities for your release and just like you requested, no news was released to the public."Jack nodded with satisfaction and patted him. Then they walked to a SUV."Where is Finn?"Cullen's gaze darkened. "He is still unable to step out, elder brother. But he is awaiting your arrival."Jack's smile vanished hearing this. "Were you able to see mom? I was unable to meet with her during my lockup. Those bastards... I'll dig their graves one after the other!"Vroom!The chauffeur ignited the vehicle as soo
CH252: His Little Ancestor
"Yes," Eric sighed faintly as he reached out and patted Eva's peculiar red hair.Then with a little smile, he added, "Anytime I meet this little one, she seems to have run away or gotten lost. Tell me, did you get lost again this time?"Jed watched with confusion as Eric crouched and lifted the girl in his arms.He knew due to Eva's autism, she's never gotten along without strangers. Now she's let Eric readily carry her and the two seem to appear too familiar with each other.Does this mean Eric already knows? Why was he acting oblivious then? Is Scarlett aware of this?Eva scribbled something on her board with a toothy smile. [No uncle, my mom's here too and she's having a word with the doctor]"So you wandered out of the ward yourself? Aren't you scared of making mama worried?"[I was going back to mama but I can't seem to find my way now]Eric laughed at the cute, little pout on her face. "I guessed right. You are indeed lost.""Have you met her mother too?" Jed suddenly poked Eric
CH251: User's Desires
'I can reject this task but I won't be able to use my AP?' He sounded exasperated to Vendetta.He has acquired these AP painstakingly for years and now the first opportunity to use them was here but he had to sacrifice something to do that.[Yes]Vendetta's chime disrupted his thoughts."Jed?" Eric called out when he turned around and saw that Jed had stopped walking."I'm coming."[Does the user accept this task or not?]Jed paused and thought of it. If he accepts this task, he would be able to get some clue about his long lost sister as the information he got from the real world isn't that very helpful.But accepting it means he has to go against his will to befriend the Powell's. How is he supposed to convince them he suddenly wants to be on good terms with them?As if on cue, Vendetta added,[If the user is unable to convince the targets and build a good relationship with them, this system will automatically count it as failure]'You are not helping,' Jed gritted. 'Fine... I acc

As soon as they returned to their vehicles safely, Eric instructed his chauffeur to leave with his car as he would be hitching a ride with his friends.When they got into the second vehicle, he removed his shirt as he was feeling uncomfortable."Why is it so itchy? What material did they use?" He asked rhetorically as he itched his body.Jed wasn't having the same reaction but was staring at Ben through the rear view mirror.Although the latter looked like he was conscious of his surroundings, he was in a terrible state and could barely keep his eyes open."Ben, we'll get you to the hospital," He said worriedly as he drove the car out of the surroundings.'Ping!' Vendetta chimed just then.[User has successfully completed his task and has earned 4RP][Total RP: 43/100][Total AP: 34/100][Skills are now available for purchase][Tasks will be updated soon]"Why are you here?"Barely has Ben spoken when he started to puke.
