As soon as Claire entered the living room, he saw Shane lying on the sofa, bored and playing with a piece of fruit.

When he saw Claire walking in, he sat up. The relationship between the two is already very close, so there is no need to deliberately stand up to greet them.

Claire also sat directly opposite Shane, picked up a fruit on the table and put it in his mouth to eat.

"Where are you going?" Shane also picked up the fruit in his hand and started eating it, "The housekeeper said you went somewhere else."

"A newly established town..." Claire told the general story.

Shane listened very carefully and was amazed throughout the process, "As expected of you, you have raised the upper limit of Nafu City in just two weeks. If you have more time, Nafu City will definitely become the economic center of this area."

"It's not bad." Claire smiled slightly and accepted the compliment.

"I'm being modest. Nafu City has undergone earth-shaking changes every time I come here. This time I even saw street lights appearing on the streets." Shane continued, "Anyway, the changes are quite big. There are already the prototypes of a big city."

The feeling of doing it yourself is different from hearing praise from others. Anyway, Claire likes to hear Shane say these words.

"Let's not talk about this for now, why did you come here suddenly?" Claire asked.

"Oh, that's right!" Shane slapped his forehead, "I forgot about the real thing."

Then he took out the Purple Crystal Card that Claire gave him before and handed it back from Spatial Ring, saying, "This is the money Nightmare Flower earned from the previous time, a total of 1.06 million Gold Coins, and I deposited it all into this card."

Claire took the card and played with it in his hand, and asked with interest, "What happened to Nightmare Flower in the end."

Information dissemination takes a certain amount of time, and he has no news channels in the royal capital. Furthermore, he has been very busy in the past two weeks and has no idea what the follow-up of Nightmare Flower will be.

Shane scratched his head and said with a complicated expression, "Haha, the process is a bit tortuous, but I still followed your instructions and made money."

"It's almost as you expected. The news I got from my father indeed proved that Lady Sophia raised the price of Nightmare Flower to twenty Gold Coins. After that, I followed your instructions and sold all the Nightmare Flower in our hands."

"The price of Nightmare Flower continued to increase. It was almost the same price in the morning and the same price in the afternoon." Speaking of this, Shane took a sip of tea with some palpitations, and continued, "It soon increased to about thirty Gold Coins, but you told me before that I couldn't intervene anymore, so I didn't intervene and just continued to watch."

"I thought it would collapse around forty Gold Coins, but after forty Gold Coins, the price is still rising! I finally understand why you kept asking for it before leaving. "Tell me not to get involved." Shane pursed his lips, "I was heartbroken at that time, because I knew the principle behind it, and I always wanted to get involved again, and I felt that I would definitely not be the one to take over."

"Fortunately, someone came to make trouble in the store at that time, which attracted my attention. Oh, by the way, the boy you asked me to take care of before helped a lot in that trouble. We will talk about this later..."

Claire's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything and continued to listen to Shane's talk.

"After that matter was resolved, the price of Nightmare Flower has almost risen to fifty Gold Coins. Because I didn't pay attention all the time, my mind came to my senses. I ran away from the royal capital that night, and it took nearly a week before I returned to the royal capital."

"Did Nightmare Flower's price collapse at that time?" Claire asked.

"It jumped." Shane had a bitter look on his face, "Do you still remember the baron you met when you first arrived in the royal capital?"

Claire nodded, "Remember, what happened?"

"On my way back to Tulip Shop, he jumped off the tower in front of me. He fell into a pulp all by himself." Shane's face was a little pale. He didn't feel sorry for him. It was a pity or something. He was thinking that if he had participated in it and he was not the third young master of the Ansier Family, then he would go bankrupt like the other party and then jump off the tower.

This made him feel extremely scared. This was the first time he had faced the fear of business. When his father told him about it before, he didn't feel it so deeply.

This made him understand that even if Ansier Family makes a mistake in a key step in the future, it will completely collapse. It turns out that... the head of the family is not that easy to be.

Shane adjusted his mentality and continued, "I heard from others later that the baron mortgaged all his properties and industries in the royal capital, mortgaged a large amount of money, and borrowed a large amount of money, all of which were put on Nightmare Flower. After the collapse of Nightmare Flower, he could not even maintain the original price. Even if he sold all the Nightmare Flower in his hand, he would not be able to repay the debts he owed."

"It's not just him. In those few days, many bankrupt nobles and businessmen jumped from tall buildings in the royal capital. Later, the royal family came forward to suppress the heat. Otherwise, it would have spread throughout the country by now."

"Where did Nightmare Flower's price stop at the end?" Claire asked, holding his chin.

"When I left, there were still more than forty Gold Coins. When I came back, it doubled to more than eighty Gold Coins." Shane continued, "According to the information revealed by my father, Lady Sophia seems to have sold out when there were more than sixty Gold Coins..."

Claire raised his eyebrows, "Where's the back?"

"That afternoon, everyone in the royal capital who had Nightmare Flower in their hands was panicking. But later, I don't know which noble noble took over and sent people to acquire Nightmare Flower. The game continued again."

Shane is now a little suspicious, and his father is also involved. "The price of Nightmare Flower has continued to rise. The bookmakers behind it have probably changed a few times. The people who come to buy Nightmare Flower almost every day are not the same group of people. But even so, those people in the capital are still crazy and continue to buy Nightmare Flower from various channels."

"On the day of the crash, no one thought it would collapse. They thought it was a normal afternoon. Until the sun went down, no one came to buy Nightmare Flower... The next day they continued to wait, and Nightmare Flower had not collapsed yet."

"Until... a merchant lowered a few Gold Coins and sold the Nightmare Flower in his hand at a price lower than the cost price. As a result, the nobles and merchants in the capital who owned Nightmare Flower began to sell Nightmare Flower crazily. The price of Nightmare Flower dropped every few minutes, and in the end it was even lower than the original price."

Claire kept nodding, which was pretty much what he expected. However, he didn't expect that the price of Nightmare Flower would be more than eighty pieces of Gold Coins. He originally thought that forty-fifty would be the limit.

"There should be someone coming out later to stabilize the market, right?" Claire guessed.

Shane raised his head unexpectedly, "How do you know?"

"This game of drumming and passing flowers has probably involved most of the nobles in the royal capital. If no one comes out to stabilize the market, the royal family will definitely not be able to suppress the subsequent impact."

"The three major magic shop giants headed by the royal family came out to take over those Nightmare Flower. Lady Sophia took over the most, then Prince Albert, and my father took over the least."

This is one of the reasons why Shane suspected that his father was involved. Otherwise, there would be no reason to take over those Nightmare Flowers. Taking over these Nightmare Flowers now is completely a hot potato, a complete loss-making deal.

The reason why Sophia took over the most money is because she made the most money from it, and Nightmare Flower originally came from her. This can be hidden from the nobles below, but not from the royal family and other big nobles.

"What about the price?"

"Thirty percent lower than the original price."

"It's not a loss at all."
