In the three months since the meeting with Sophia, Claire has been receiving progress on Short Selling Kingdom of Zesilia currency matters from Nafu City.

After Claire and Sophia discussed all the details, and with Sophia's personal control, things went smoothly, and the news that came back was also good news.

At the beginning of the second month, Sophia had obtained most of the currency in Kingdom of Zesilia's bank through various means, but those people had not reacted at all and were still thinking about harvesting the interest on Sophia's loan.

After acquiring most of the currency, Sophia began to sell a large amount of Kingdom of Zesilia currency. They exchanged Kingdom of Zesilia currency for Silver Dragon Coins in the market. After selling nearly one billion of Jersey's currency, the market finally made waves.

The next day, the exchange rate ratio between Kingdom of Zesilia currency and Silver Dragon Coins became ten to one. As soon as the news came out, some businessmen with a keen sense of smell began to invest funds to hunt for the bottom after observing that there were no major problems in their own countries.

As a result, Sophia increased the amount of currency they sold. In less than two days, the exchange rate ratio became 11 to 1. Only then did the merchants who bought the bottom realize that they were buying not the land but the mountainside. In order to avoid greater losses, they also sold all the cash in their hands and exchanged it for Silver Dragon Coins, intending to hedge and come back when the market stabilizes.

When they were selling, the exchange rate ratio dropped further, becoming twelve to one.

At this time, even people who are slow to react can detect that something is wrong. As the exchange rate ratio continues to decrease and the money in their hands becomes less valuable day by day, the market falls into panic. People with money and rich people are selling their currencies. In this case, there are rounds of panic and falling exchange rates.

The officials in the Kingdom of Zesilia and the banks that lent money to Sophia finally realized something was wrong and began to investigate. It didn't take long before his eyes were fixed on Sophia - the only one who had so much cash in her hand.

In order to avoid the spread of panic and stabilize the economy and exchange rate of its own country, Kingdom of Zesilia also made its own response measures and began to withdraw a large number of currencies that were sold in the market in an attempt to stabilize the panic.

It was indeed a bit promising at the beginning. After they took action, the exchange rate quickly stabilized and no longer continued to fall, but had an upward trend. The panic in the market has also been effectively controlled, and some people even want to raise the price, so that Sophia will need to spend more money to purchase currency to compensate.

But they have overlooked one thing. Now most of their country's cash is in the hands of Sophia, and they don't have much Silver Dragon Coins in their hands. It doesn't mean that they have no money, their wealth is more of assets, and if they don't do foreign exchange, they generally won't accumulate so much Silver Dragon Coins in their hands, so now Sophia is the one with the advantage.

So after they temporarily pulled up, Sophia launched a new round of selling, releasing more than five billion Kingdom of Zesilia currencies. The exchange rate that had just stabilized was suddenly driven to 16 to 1, which was nearly tripled.

In order to take over Sophia's smash, Kingdom of Zesilia began to sell some of its assets and exchange them for Silver Dragon Coins in other countries to stabilize the exchange rate.

But that also takes time. By the time they borrow the money, the market is already panicking to the extreme. As soon as they stabilized the exchange rate and tried to push it up, their own citizens sold off their money as if they saw hope. There was no one to help them carry the sedan, and they were still fighting against them.

Later, Sophia once again sold off all the cash in his hand. At this time, the market was also numb. No one even dared to take over the money Sophia sold. So Kingdom of Zesilia was completely ruined. There is nothing you can do to save yourself. The market will return to normal anyway.

After seeing that the situation reached a certain point, Sophia also began to use the Silver Dragon Coins in his hand to exchange for the cash he had sold before. The more than 10 billion he borrowed had to be paid back.

Claire didn't pay much attention to it afterward. The fact that things have reached this point means that he has won. As for how much money he can make, it depends on Sophia's methods.

More than a month has passed.

"Master, someone is looking for you." Yuna opened the door carefully and said, "He said he was sent by Lady Sophia to deliver something to you."

A glimmer of light flashed in Claire's eyes, and he responded, "I understand, I'll be there right away."

After leaving the mansion, the person sent by Sophia was standing at the door waiting for him. Claire's mental power swept away and it was Archmage, and he looked a little nervous.

Claire walked forward and said, "I am Claire, do you have anything to give to me?"

The messenger raised his head and glanced at Claire, but quickly lowered his head, groped around on his body, took out two things from his arms, bent down and handed them to Claire, and said respectfully:

"This is what Lady Sophia asked me to bring you."

As he said that, he first handed a black card to Claire, "This is the black card of Mite Bank. There is an amount of more than 1.39 billion in it... Madam said this is the income to be divided equally among you."

As the messenger spoke, he felt his voice trembling slightly. It was nearly 1.4 billion. As a Archmage, he could be considered a high-level mage, but even if he didn't eat and work to death, he didn't know if he could save so much money.

And this was the reason why he seemed nervous just now. After Sophia handed over the matter to him, for the first time along the way, he was worried that as a Archmage, he would be robbed. He had to make sure that the bank card was still with him every few minutes. It was so frightening to death.

Claire took the black card, tapped it with his fingers, and put it into his arms.

There is also a hint of joy on his face. With this money, I can officially start working on my simple Mage Tower. That's not right. With this money, it can't be said to be a simple Mage Tower, but a formal version of Mage Tower that has not yet been completed.

After seeing Claire accept it, Archmage also breathed a sigh of relief. He finally didn't have to worry about losing it.,

So he handed Claire a few other things in his hand, which were three parchment-style things.

"Lord Claire, this is the contract for the Magic Crystal mine that Madam agreed with you before. The largest, two, is Fowler County located in the north of the kingdom. You can just go and sign for it when the time comes."

Claire looked at the remaining parchment scroll, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

And the messenger quickly explained, "This is the title deed of Magic Ore, one of the Kingdom of Zesilia buildings. Madam said it was given to you."

Hearing this, Claire showed an interesting smile, "When Kingdom of Zesilia sold off his assets, Sophia secretly bought them at a low price, right?" Judging from what I know about her, this is most likely the case.
