After Skye successfully shattered the silk, she was as happy as a child.

She hugged Shazo and jumped around, shouting loudly, "I did it! I'm Esper Powers person now!"

Perhaps due to the abundant food she had been eating in recent months, the girl's height had suddenly increased to 167 centimeters.

Moreover, because her father was United States person, the girl's figure suddenly began to develop, her pair of little rabbits grew two sizes, and she became exceptionally lively, causing Shazo's heart to flutter when she jumped around.

To avoid embarrassment, Shazo guided the enthusiastic girl in practicing her vibration superpowers before beginning to teach her her real skills.

Shazo said, "You can't use Esper Powers recklessly. It's a minor matter if you accidentally cause trouble, but the more dangerous thing is that you might hurt yourself."

"Don't mistakenly believe that your unique physical structure makes you immune to vibration damage."

"You know, a bulletproof vest is definitely bulletproof, but if you keep shooting at it, the bulletproof vest will eventually be damaged."

Shazo's patient guidance instilled a sense of awe in Skye, who earnestly asked, "Boss, how do I control my powers?"

Shazo offered his suggestion. "You need to learn a skill that can help you cultivate your vibrational Esper Powers and strengthen your constitution."

"At crucial moments, one can unleash their full potential, achieving victory through a sudden burst of power."

"Especially your Vibration Ability; if you're not skilled enough at using it, you won't be able to inflict effective damage on the enemy, and you might even injure yourself first."

"But if used properly, it can destroy any enemy in one strike."

"Even an M1A1 can be dismantled into parts in an instant."

Skye listened with great enthusiasm and eagerly asked, "Boss, what kind of kung fu is it? Is it Huaxia kung fu?"

Shazo said smugly, "It is indeed Huaxia Kung Fu, but it's not the kind of Kung Fu that ordinary people learn; it's the legendary Kung Fu of immortals."

This was, of course, an external martial art from the memories of the Demon Xiazhuo, called "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Skill," which was not a particularly remarkable technique in the Qingyan Sect.

It's not that the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Skill" is weak, but rather that it's too difficult to master.

Especially the very first step in the process can eliminate 99% of practitioners.

The first step in learning the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Skill" is to acquire the ability to roar and tremble like a tiger.

This is an extremely rare Talent ability, which can only be achieved by those born with tiger demon bloodline or possessing the even rarer Thunder Spiritual Root.

This Talent requirement severely restricts the applicable population. In the past 500 years, Qingyan Sect has recruited over 100,000 disciples, but only seven people are able to cultivate the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Skill," three of whom possess Thunder Spiritual Root.

The elders of the sect would not allow a disciple with a mutated Thunder Spiritual Root to waste time cultivating the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Skill".

After all, the Qingyan Sect's "Nine Heavens Thunderclap Art" is stronger and more powerful, while the "Yingyuan Thunderclap Heavenly Venerable Orthodox Method" is an even more supreme and profound orthodox method.

Of course, disciples with tiger demon bloodlines would have a different experience.

Once you master the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Skill," you can continuously train your body and nourish your Qi using the thunder sound during daily life and while sleeping. One year of hardship can be equivalent to five years of hard work for others.

The technique includes four sonic attack methods: Tiger Roar Sound, [Thunder Sound Break], [Mountain-Forest Suppression], and [Thunderclap on a Clear Day Sky]. All of these are top-tier combat techniques capable of directly shattering an enemy's internal organs, making them powerful enough to kill enemies of higher levels.

Skye naturally doesn't have Thunder Spiritual Root or tiger demon bloodline, but her Vibration Ability is more in line with the cultivation requirements of the "Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Skill".

Shazo instructed Skye, helping her to continuously adjust her own vibration frequency.

When the girl successfully emitted the Tiger Roar Vibrating Wave, she and he simultaneously felt a vibration that penetrated deep into their bones.

The Quake shook the bones and meridians of the two people, not only stimulating the internal energy to circulate on its own, but also stimulating the development of bones and muscles, and healing both visible and hidden injuries.

Furthermore, Quake can help the Human Body eliminate accumulated impurities and enhance the Human Body's potential.

Although Skye's control only allowed her to maintain the position for a mere 30 seconds, both of them felt refreshed, as if they had enjoyed an hour-long spa treatment.

Skye gasped, covering her mouth in surprise. "Wowit's amazing!"

"The immortal's techniques are truly amazing!"

Shazo chuckled and said, "It really is amazing."

"Skye, you need to practice diligently and keep increasing the duration. When you can last as long as you want, that's when you've completed the first stage."

Skye asked, "And what about the second phase?"

Shazo gently tapped the girl's throat and said, "The second stage is to use breathing as the source of vibration, ensuring that the Tiger Roar Vibrating Wave can be activated naturally during sleep."

"This will not only greatly improve sleep quality, but also allow you to continuously increase your strength while sleeping, thus accelerating wound healing."

Shazo chuckled and said, "If it really comes to that, I'll definitely hold you as I fall asleep every night."

Skye's cheeks flushed, but she stubbornly raised her head to look at Shazo: "Boss, we agreed that once I master the skill, you'll hold me Tenten before I fall asleep!"

"If you go back on your word, may you swallow a thousand needles!!"

Shazo nodded seriously and solemnly promised, "Okay."

The rest of the time, Shazo and Skye spent half the day training and the other half continuing to explore the remaining parts of Puerto Rico.

On the 14th day, Shazo's stockbroker called him from overseas.

This man, who called himself the Wolf of Wall Street, was so excited that he shouted into the phone, "Boss, we're rich! We're rich!"

"We've just received confirmation that Tony Stark is missing, and an entire company of Marine Corps protecting him has been killed in action!"

"This is the largest attack in Central Asia this year, and also the deadliest!"

"Tony Stark, huff... huff... huff... he might be dead!"

The agent was so excited that he said so much that he couldn't breathe.

Shazo quickly reassured him, "Jordan! Jordan Belfort! Take a deep breath, relax, inhale deeply, and exhale slowly—"

His voice also possessed a hypnotic quality, successfully calming Jordan's emotions and suppressing his rapid breathing over the telephone line.

Several minutes later, Jordan Belfort caught his breath. "Oh God, you saved my life again, boss, you're Superman!"

Shazo shook his head and laughed, "This has nothing to do with me, it's just that you're too fat, you should lose weight!"

Jordan immediately objected. "NO! NO! NO! Boss, losing weight is worse than death. I'd rather die from being fat than die from exhaustion."

Shazo exchanged a few pleasantries with him to calm his excitement before finally speaking and ordering, "Alright, Jordan, now you can tell me the details."

Once Jordan calmed down, he spoke clearly and methodically, "The news of Tony Stark's disappearance has been confirmed. Stark Industries ' stock price has plummeted, triggering the limit-down protection in just four minutes."

"Clearly, this is not the limit of its decline!"

"Stark Industries ' stock price will continue to fall tomorrow! The day after! Even next week!"

"As long as Tony Stark doesn't show up, I wouldn't be surprised if the stock price hits the daily limit down for a whole month."

"Boss, we've made it!"

Shazo chuckled and said, "You were furious with me when I told you to short Stark Industries before."

"Jordan, your excitement makes me wonder—just how much leverage did you use?"

Jordan laughed triumphantly, "I've pushed it to the limit, 50x!"

Shazo couldn't help but gasp, "Hiss—, you're a madman!"

Even if you are absolutely certain that Stark Industries stock will fall, shorting it with 50 times leverage still carries enormous risk.

A leverage ratio of 50x results in an extremely low liquidation threshold and a very short timeframe.

Even if you correctly predict a downtrend, a small fluctuation or rebound can force you to liquidate your positions and sell, resulting in huge losses.

Not only will Shazo's $11 million investment go down the drain, but he will also incur hundreds of millions in debt.

But Jordan won his gamble; a 50x leverage could amplify profits to 500x, or even 1000x.

Shazo's $11 million investment yielded a profit of over $25 million in the four minutes that Stark Industries' stock hit its daily limit down.

If the stock price continues to fall to its daily limit every day, that means a daily income of 25 million, or even more.

In just one week, Shazo could become a true billionaire, while Jordan would join the ranks of multimillionaires.

Shazo showered him with praise, "Very good, very good, Jordan, you are the true the Wolf of Wall Street. If possible, continue shorting Stark Industries."

Jordan said regretfully, "It's no use, boss. All we see are short positions. We can't compete with those big players."

Shazo had anticipated this, and he didn't have high expectations when he made the request; he just wanted to see if Jordan, the Wolf of Wall Street, still had any connections.

Since that didn't work, he changed his tune, saying, "Then keep an eye on it, pay attention to every little change, and call me immediately if there's any sign of trouble."

Shazo said in the most serious tone, "Jordan, for the next month or so, you must ensure you are ready to obey my orders at any time. I may turn around and go to Stark Industries at any time."

"When I give an order, you must obey it strictly, understand?"

Jordan said with utmost piety and adoration, "Boss, I now completely believe that you are the god of stocks, and I will never disobey any of your orders."

Shazo suddenly sneered, "Jordan, you've already disobeyed once."

"You took my money and recklessly leveraged it up to 50 times, pushing me to the brink of bankruptcy."

"I'll forgive you this time since you won the bet, but if there's a next time, I guarantee you'll lose weight in a single day."

"Of course, I haven't decided yet whether to slice off that fat of yours like sashimi or burn it off like a candle."

Shazo incorporated Genjutsu techniques into his voice, causing Jordan to conjure images of slow slicing and being burned alive, which terrified him and made him tremble with fear.

All the adventurous ideas that had been swirling in my mind vanished without a trace.

After hanging up Jordan's call, Shazo frowned, deep in thought.

After Skye activated her Vibration Ability, she became incredibly sensitive to sound and vibration, and could hear the contents of the phone call clearly.

Skye was stunned when she learned that her boss earned $25 million in a single day.

After she had finally processed the shock, she noticed Shazo's unusual behavior.

Skye asked curiously, "Boss, you've made so much money, what's troubling you now?"

Shazo sighed, "Because I made so much money this time, I've suddenly gained a huge problem."

Skye was stunned. "Huh? How can having a lot of money be troublesome?"

Shazo replied with a wry smile, "Although United States is a paradise for capital, money isn't everything."

"When you have a certain amount of money, the social rules you have to follow change. You have to consider your own status and why you deserve to have so much money."

"When I was the New York Police Department's top Shinsō, I had no problem with $20 million, but when it came to $50 million, things started to get a little tricky."

"Kingpin and had to flee New York, so my earning cap has increased to 100 million."

"Hey, who would have thought that Jordan would make me a billion dollars? That's just too much."

Skye stared in disbelief. "Boss, are you really talking about United States? It sounds more like Africa tribe dividing money by the size of their fists!"

Shazo Zuo chuckled and said, "How do you think a tiny conglomerate like United States rose to power?"

Skye stated matter-of-factly, "Because they monopolize the banking, oil, and media industries."

Shazo laughed heartily, "Good, as expected of someone educated in Huaxia, you're at least half right, but also wildly wrong."

"Actually, you've got the cause and effect wrong. The so-called monopoly of key industries is just the result. In the process of these conglomerates developing from their inception to their current monopoly, they didn't rely on money, but on force."

"So many people made money back then, why were Rockefeller, DuPont, and a few others the ones who ultimately became tycoons?"

"Because the Rockefeller Family was able to mobilize 20,000 private soldiers to suppress the miners, equipped with armored vehicles and heavy machine guns, that was a force to be reckoned with."

914.

"DuPont used explosives to send all its competitors into the air, and could even detonate twice a day."

"The more violence a conglomerate wields, the more profit it can make; the two are mutually reinforcing and indispensable."

The same applies to individuals.

The girl's Mind Stone was dealt a critical blow of 10,000 points, plunging her into a state of complete moral collapse.

Shazo continued to think, his eyes darting around as if assessing something.

After a while, he finally came to his senses, the worry on his face disappeared, and he said with a smile, "Iron Man is coming out, so I don't need to worry too much anymore."

"I can certainly demonstrate much more capability, at least worthy of a billion dollars."

"Only in this way can we avoid being harassed or tested by others, and only then can we save Skye and Jordan's lives."

Hearing Shazo's words, Skye barely recovered a bit and asked, "Boss, how do you plan to demonstrate your strength? Or rather, who do you plan to fight?"
