Alex continue "so what do you think about the doomsday message?"
"Honestly I didn't believe it, but I have seen first hand on this miraculous stone, so at the moment I am openminded about this. I am a very rich man, if the doomsday does happen, money will have no value to the world. Men like me will lose their value. Just like any other business investment, the smart things to do is to manage risk. I will start investing some of my money into the new currency; food, medicine, weapon, and protection".
"You are very wise Mr. Randall"
"When the doomsday start, I really wish we can help each other, there is actually one thing that we can start preparing"
