Endgame Goal

Jack had trouble believing the word of a twenty-nine-year-old man when he said he could make him even more prosperous. Like he had some magic trick to make money appear.

"And how would you do that? I'm already very wealthy. How could you make me richer, enough that I notice?"

"Knowledge. That's how."

Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Knowledge? What kind of knowledge?"

"The one that makes people rich in a matter of days."

Jack looked at Alexander, trying to see if he reacted negatively to David's words. But Alex did not react at all.

"Keep going."

"You see, I had a hobby, of sorts, before I played New Eden the last time. I would follow the ups and downs of the financial world, take notes, promising myself to one day invest and become a rich man."

"You mean the stock market? Not any Dick and Harry can invest in stocks and pull back when it's time. Did you ever do it in the end?"
