In this kind of atmosphere, Viscount Roster launched his final wave of operations.
He directly initiated a buyback program at one-fifth the original steel price—meaning the steel buyback price was only 2% of the peak futures price.
This price was basically highway robbery.
But even so, those holding steel futures still chose to sell to Viscount Roster one after another.
At least most people made that choice.
Because the price of steel futures was dropping every single day. If this kept up, they were afraid they'd end up with nothing.
Right now, land values had crashed to an outrageous degree.
The vast majority of nobles had already given up on the idea of buying back their land.
Even though these nobles combined had invested billions of gold coins into steel futures and could only get back tens of millions now, tens of millions was still money!
At least with this money, they still had a chance to bounce back.
Maybe they'd learned their lesson from before.
