"If I don't go all out, within a month, I can easily triple the principal. If I use aggressive methods, including the leverage, I can multiply the principle by five times.
But if I go to the extreme, the profit margin can easily reach 10 times or more of the principal." Adrian responded without a moment of hesitation.
His words shocked Michael, as he had not anticipated this.
For most of the people that were involved in the stock market, they usually made an average profit of around 10%, which was considered to be quite high.
Additionally, some of those profits were usually calculated for a long duration, sometimes even extending to a year or two.
Of course, this profit was not for just any amount invested, but for big amounts. With big money, it was usually not that easy to be able to make huge profits.
After all, most of the people with big money would not easily risk losing it. So, as long as there is some profit, they would immediately cash out.
"Then, if I may ask, if you go to the extreme, how much attention can you attract, and are you able to deal with it?" Michael then asked after a moment of thought.
"If I go all out, I can easily attract the attention of the regulatory authority such as financial regulators, and anti-money laundry units.
Apart from them, other stock traders will also be alerted, as if I make a huge profit, I will reduce the profit that they can make.
With a huge amount of wealth, it is inevitable that we will attract the attention of criminals, who would be thinking of methods of extorting money from us.
The political forces will become interested as well, perhaps thinking that we have access to confidential data and so on.
The intelligence agencies might also notice this, perhaps thinking that we have illegal access to high level systems, or we would be threatening national economic stability." Adrian explained calmly.
"Do you have any methods that you can use to avoid them tracing back to you? I don't want any kind of trouble. Even if you operate normally, a profit of three times the principal, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention." Michael questioned once again.
Investing a huge amount of money, even if it was just $500 million, tripling the principal, that would be $1.5 billion
And, this would be a profit that would be made within just a month. So, it was to be expected that this would attract a lot of attention.
"I have several methods that I can use. At the moment, this is how I plan to do things. First, I'll split my capital across dozens of accounts, each one buying different stocks at different times so nothing looks connected.
Then I'll route every login through multiple encrypted layers, proxies, and dead-end servers so no digital trail can point back to me.
I'll set up shell companies, some offshore, some domestic, just to give every account a clean, believable identity.
While the trades run, I'll monitor regulatory limits, making sure none of my orders trigger automatic scrutiny.
Large positions will be broken into thousands of tiny micro-orders and scattered across all accounts so the profit patterns appear random.
I'll keep watching the surveillance algorithms, adjusting my activity to mimic normal trading flows. If anyone starts tracing anything unusual, I'll bury those traces under a flood of routine transactions and reroute all activity.
I'll stagger every entry and exit point, making it impossible to link the gains to a single source. All the while, I'll analyze private data streams and confidential indicators to anticipate market shifts before they happen.
And once the cycle is complete, I'll quietly dissolve the accounts that made the biggest moves and let the rest continue operating like nothing ever happened." Adrian explained.
From the looks of it, Adrian had already made a plan on how he was going to operate things.
Michael began considering. Initially, he planned to have Adrian do things slowly, not to attract attention.
But if he was capable of dealing with the attention, making sure that no trouble would be attracted towards them, then he could go all out.
At the end of the day, this was one of the fastest methods of making a fortune. While the stock market was quite risky, it had the ability of making someone rich overnight, just as it was capable of making a rich person poor.
"Okay, go ahead and do that. The money has already been transferred into your account, and most probably, you will be contacted for the upgrade.
Since we opened an account from the same bank, you can handle the upgrade procedures for me tomorrow." Michael nodded as he said.
Instead of going to meet up with Rose, he might as well allow Adrian to handle that. Then, the time that he would have spent meeting with her, he could just go ahead and use it to learn more skills.
After that, Michael wrote a letter with his signature, acknowledging that he had allowed Adrian to handle the procedure. At the same time, he planned to call Rose, to inform her about this the following day.
In fact, instead of waiting for the following day, he just texted her, informing her about Adrian, and the fact that his account would also need to be upgraded.
Rose texted back, saying that there was no problem. Additionally, she said that she would handle both the accounts.
With that finally out of the way, Michael concentrated on doing his thing.
As for Damian and Lucas, the two of them went out, booking a hotel to stay in for the night.
Even though Michael had already bought the building, he had bought it at night. He still did not have the keys to the other rooms, and would need to meet with the agents that were in charge of renting out the building on the following day.
Michael began going through another skill that he could learn. There were quite a number of skills that he could learn, but after some time, he decided on one, which was computer programming.
Michael had thought it through, as it seemed, computer skills were quite valuable these days.
Even though Adrian was already skilled at this, it was impossible to be able to depend on him for everything. So, it would be better for him to have enough skills.

A few hours earlier...
Morgan family Residence...
As soon as Raymond went back home, he quickly found his father.
"What is it? Don't tell me that you are here to ask for money again?" Raymond's father, a man with short blonde hair and brown eyes, seemingly in his late 40s, sitting on a couch, looked at Raymond as he asked.
Upon hearing his father's question, Raymond scratched his head awkwardly. After all, he had come to his father several times, to ask for money.
He usually spent his monthly allowance on upgrading his car, or training some skills, just to compete against Alex. So, most of the times, as soon as the money got into his account, it would be spent on the same day.
"Actually, there is something else that I wanted to talk about." Raymond said as he took a seat on the couch in the living room.
"Now, that is new. You actually have something that you wanted to talk to father about?" A lady, who was coming down the stairs, said as she gazed at Raymond with a slight sneer on her lips.
She wore a light, sleeveless cotton dress that fell just above her knees. Her black hair was loosely tied back, and she walked barefoot across the polished tiles.
Raymond looked at his younger sister, frowning slightly. He said, "What is it? You think that I can never have something serious to discuss?"
"Not really. But what I know is that, if there is something serious that you would like to talk about, it is usually related to racing or doing other things with your group of idle friends." Jane responded as she sat down on a couch opposite Raymond.
"Jane, let your brother speak. I'm curious, what is it that he wants to talk about?" John, Raymond's father, currently wearing a gray t-shirt and a pair of shorts, said as he looked at Raymond.
Being given the chance of speaking, Raymond did not bother to respond to his sister's words.
At this moment, he was only thinking about Michael. That guy, if he was going to be linked to his family, his family would definitely be able to reach a high level.
So, no matter what, that was something of priority. As for his sister, he would have to deal with her later on.
With a serious expression on his face, he said, "Dad, I have found someone that is very suitable to be my sister's husband. Even though he is quite young, he is definitely a very good match for her.
Not to mention the fact that he has amazing skills, but his background is also inscrutable. So, could you talk to grandpa, so that the arrangements can be made?"
