The stock price plummeted unexpectedly. I watched helplessly as thousands evaporated within hours.The system beeped: Mission update: Survive the hostile takeover. Success probability: 65%.
Panic rose in my chest. I had never faced such direct risk.
I took a deep breath. Following the system's instructions, I leveraged my remaining assets, called in favors from Alexander, and strategically shorted Mark's investments.
It was a gamble, but the system's predictions held true. By midnight, I not only survived but reversed the loss, gaining even more than before.
My heart pounded. I had won… for now.
