"More short volume coming in on Dongmyeong Electronics!"

"More sell orders on DMC too!"

"How much?!"

"It keeps growing!"

The Dongmyeong Group's future planning office. On every one of the giant monitors crowding the desks, affiliate share prices were turning blue.

Dongmyeong Electronics. DMC. Dongmyeong Chemical. Dongmyeong Construction, and the rest!

Every core affiliate was under attack at once.

"Dongmyeong Electronics −5.8%!"

"DMC −6.4%!"

"We've lost a buy wall!"

Go Seonghun's face went sallow. The man with the rigid face was Director of the Dongmyeong Group's future planning office.

He was the eldest son of Chairman Go Jaeyong, who held the helm of the ship that was the Dongmyeong Group. Today, even his title as the group's next heir meant nothing.

He was more of a field commander, backing up the battlefront in his father's war and nothing else.

"Put it back up."

"Sorry?"

"I said put the buy wall back up!"

Go Seonghun shouted, his eyes fixed on the monitors.

"Throw in cash! Soak up every share that comes!"

"Executing another ten billion on Dongmyeong Electronics!"

"Seven billion going into DMC!"

"Adding five billion on Dongmyeong Chemical!"

In an instant, the buy side thickened.

−6.4%.

−5.9%.

−5.3%. The numbers that had gone blue with fright crept back, little by little.

"DMC's coming up!"

"Dongmyeong Electronics is recovering!"

"Dongmyeong Construction is rising!"

But Go Seonghun couldn't breathe easy. If this was all it took to stop them, the other side would never have built a board like this in the first place.

"Get more money ready."

"Director, a considerable amount has already gone in."

"I know."

Go Seonghun clenched his jaw.

"Stop it anyway."

At that very moment.

"Director!"

One of the staff cried out, close to a scream.

"It's coming again!"

"What is?"

"A huge wave of sell orders! Dongmyeong Electronics and DMC, both at once!"

The blue numbers on the screens jerked about like mad.

−5.3%.

−6.0%.

−6.8%. Go Seonghun's eyes turned savage as a tiger's. Soak it up, and more came.

Soak that up, and an even bigger wave crashed in.

The other side moved as if…
