He grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote the word Bitcoin in bold before circling it with heavy strokes . The future of this digital currency was nothing short of explosive . Over the next decade , Bitcoin would emerge as one of the biggest dark horses in the financial world , second only to real estate . Its value , once a meager 20 dollars per coin , would skyrocket to an unimaginable 65,000 dollars , multiplying over three thousand times . Now , whoever got involved with Bitcoin stood to make a fortune . Joshua had no particular love for Bitcoin itself . But money ? Money was something he understood well , and making it was his interest . If his memory served him correctly , the year was 2013. Bitcoin was trading at around 50 dollars a coin , but by the end of the year , it was expected to soar to a staggering 8,000 dollars . A mind blowing increase of over 5,800 % in just a single year . Even more enticing , within just a month , the price would leap from 50 to 300 dollars , a sixfold gain in a matter of weeks . With 20,000 dollars , he could buy roughly 2,000 Bitcoins , and if he sold them a month later , he could easily walk away with a profit of over 100,000 . And if he reinvested that sum , he could multiply his fortune again and again and continue to make money . If everything went according to plan , he could turn himself into a millionaire within a year . This was the confidence that fueled his ambition . Without wasting any time , he began to put his plan into action . First , he bought waterproof tarps and oxygen pumps . Then , he rented a small truck to drive out to the beach to pump some seawater back for filtration . His small room was on the first floor of a suburban house . It came with a modest courtyard , a feature that made his work much more convenient . Once he finished taking care of everything , he kept an eye on the time , waiting for school to finish . When the clock struck the right hour , he grabbed his bicycle and made his way toward the docks to buy live shrimps and crabs . He personally selected each one , choosing only the most lively and energetic . 173 6:20 pm Though his wallet only held just over 900 dollars , it was enough for now . Without hesitation , he spent the entire amount , purchasing more than 300 pounds of shrimp and crabs . Now , we wait for the storm to hit , he murmured to himself as he glanced at the weather report . Meanwhile , in the Fraser Residence . It was raining heavily , and the storm was closing in on Kepong . Maggie sat in the living room and stared out at the heavy rain . Shel felt a growing sense of frustration . Locker ! Mr. Stuart ! Mr. Locker ! she barked . Whats the update ? Mrs. Fraser , weve received word from Mr. He has not found Mr. Maggies sharp eyes narrowed , but before she could react , another report came . Fraser , Mr. Locker also came back empty handed . Joshua did not go to the orphanage after leaving the Fraser Residence . Where did he go ? Maggies voice trembled with anger as her brows knitted together . Katherine had no answers , so she quickly shook her head . Go to No.16 Middle School and ask if hes been attending classes there ! Maggie was practically on the verge of losing her mind . It had been five days since Joshua left Fraser Residence , and in all that time , there hadnt been a single word from him . The first three days were calm enough , and no one was particularly worried . Everyone assumed he would return sooner or later . But those three days passed , and not even a shadow of him appeared . In the next two days , David sent out a group to search for him . The entire day was spent scouring the city , but they found nothing . Now , it was the fifth day . Maggie , growing more frantic by the hour , had already dispatched Leonard and Seggy Locker to search again . Yet , as more time slipped by with no word from either of them , her patience snapped . Gritting her teeth , her voice seething with rage , she muttered , If they manage to drag him back here , see how Ill deal with him ! Hes gone too far , too far ! 6:20 pm Chapter 10 The Frasers Cannot Find Joshua Fury surged through her like a wildfire . +8 Pearl : Just then , Katherine , who had been standing quietly by the side , spoke up after a moment of hesitation . Fraser , Mr. Joshua hasnt been attending No.16 Middle School for quite some time . Maggie blinked in surprise . Not attending No.16 Middle School ? Then where is he ? Mr. Joshua transferred three years ago when he graduated from junior high . He was admitted to 27th Street High , Katherine explained cautiously . But he never mentioned which class hes in . For a moment , Maggie was at a loss . 27th Street High ? . She could have sworn Joshua had been attending No.16 Middle School , which was a terribly mediocre school . She had always thought it was full of students who amounted to nothing . How on earth had he managed to get into 27th Street High ? Though , to be fair , 27th Street High wasnt exactly a prestigious institution either . It was just another run of the mill school in Kepong . Her face darkened , and she snapped . Then go to 27th Street High and look for him there ! Yes , Mrs. Fraser ! Katherine hurriedly replied . 40 1 3/3 6:20 pm Promise to Punish My Ridiculous Family
