Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1224

"You don't believe me?

Since they have a bit of talent, some serious capital, and an insider's understanding of the Mavarian market, why don't we have James Barlow reach out and recruit them into our consortium?

That way, wouldn't we just be adding to our own firepower?" the assistant suggested.

The mocking smile on Jason's lips froze. "That... actually sounds viable."

He gave his assistant an approving nod. "Good. Make it happen."

Meanwhile, the Mavarian authorities had swiftly formulated their own countermeasures.

First, absolute transparency with the public.

Facing a coalition of international financial giants, relying solely on national foreign exchange reserves was far from enough. But if the entire nation stood united, no external conspiracy could break them.

Second, assemble the country's elite financial experts to build an impenetrable defense.

Mira Mercer and Owen Lance were prominently listed at the top of that roster.

Mira scanned the document. Ethan Mercer, Hank Whitlock, and Harvey Rivers were on it too.

It made sense. They had all braved Wall Street twice and pulled off massive, historic victories.

However, Harvey and Hank had politely declined the official invitation. They informed the authorities, "When our country needs us, we will absolutely provide our full support. We'll aggressively mobilize our capital behind the scenes.

But our success on Wall Street was entirely Mira's doing. We just followed her lead on the trades."

Mira had originally wanted to bring Lucian North into the fold, but Solflare National Bank's security infrastructure couldn't afford to lose him, so she had to drop the idea.

It was more than enough for Mira and Owen to step up together.

Winter break wasn't quite over yet anyway, so it wouldn't interfere with her studies.

Then again, even if it did, Mira would still go. The national economy was infinitely more important than her university credits.

Besides, being a mole isn't a walk in the park. Even if you join them, do you honestly think Jason and his crew won't keep their guard up around you?

If they confiscate your devices during trading hours, how are you going to contact our side?

If things go south, they could frame you and paint you as a traitor to the country.

The public will just see that when it mattered most, you abandoned your homeland to help outsiders. You could never wash that stain off your reputation.

Even Solflare Group would be dragged down with you..."

Things like that had happened before.

Given the massive risks, Mira dropped the idea. "If I were actually going undercover, I'd clear it with the authorities first. I wouldn't go rogue."

That way, her name would be cleared once it was all over.

After weighing her options, Mira decided to have James play the mole instead. But just as she picked up her phone, Jude Vance called.
