5: The Domino Falls
publish date:
2025-10-11 22:18:07The final straw is often not the heaviest, but the one placed on the most fragile point.
Jack knew that a single post and market sentiment were not enough to bury Preston Vance completely. He needed a more devastating weapon, a bombshell that would make every vulture smell blood.
He once again assumed the role of "Alpha Wolf."
Through Ben Carter's channels, he anonymously "leaked" an encrypted file to Wall Street's most prestigious and feared short-selling firm—"Muddy Waters."
The file contained no complex analysis, only a video link.
The video was a screen recording of the backend database of Vance Capital's core project, "Project Pegasus." It clearly showed that, late at night, a large volume of user registration data was being batch-imported via a script from a fixed overseas IP address.
This was the most direct and irrefutable evidence of data fabrication!
This proof was more powerful than ten thousand words of analysis. For a top predator like "Muddy Waters," it was tantamount to a perfectly cooked steak, cut and plated. All they had to do was open their mouths.
2:00 PM.
"Muddy Waters" research department officially released a short report on Vance Capital.
The title was drenched in blood: 【Vance Capital: When Data is a Lie, Value is Zero.】
The core of the report was the video evidence provided by "Alpha Wolf."
BOOM!
The bombshell detonated over all of Wall Street!
If "Alpha Wolf's" post had merely lit the fuse, then this report from "Muddy Waters" was the direct detonation of a nuclear bomb!
In the first minute after the report was released, Vance Capital's stock price instantly flash-crashed!
-15%!
-30%! -40%!The stock's K-line chart was like a waterfall from a broken dam, plunging towards hell with an unstoppable momentum.
It triggered three circuit breakers within an hour!
All of Wall Street was in an uproar. The headlines of every financial media outlet were dominated by the news of "Vance Capital's Collapse." Countless investors wailed in despair, margin call phones rang off the hook, and panic spread like a plague.
The ID "Alpha Wolf" became a legend in a single battle!
Everyone on the TradeHub forum who had mocked him felt a burning sting on their faces.
And those who had left mocking comments on Hailey Sterling's social media post dug it up again, flooding the comments under the picture of the "loser brother-in-law" staring intently at a penny stock with expressions of awe and worship.
"My god, the clown was me all along!"
"Is this brother-in-law from the future? This is a god-level prediction!" "Hailey, I'm begging you, get your brother-in-law to teach a class! I'll kneel to listen!"Hailey Sterling was currently in her live-stream room.
But she wasn't flaunting her wealth; she was crying.
Crying so hard her makeup was ruined.
"Waaaah... babies, my life is ruined... I'm bankrupt..." she sobbed to the camera. "I saw Vance Capital dip yesterday and listened to the experts who called it a 'technical correction' and a 'great buying opportunity'... so I invested all my allowance, and... and I even used three times leverage..."
"And today... waaaah... it's all gone! I don't even have the money for next month's limited-edition handbag! It's all because of that damn 'Muddy Waters'! And that 'Alpha Wolf' guy! Don't let me find out who you are, or I'll..."
She cried and cursed the mysterious person who had caused her to lose everything, completely unaware that her most hated enemy and her most despised brother-in-law were one and the same person.
This farce added a touch of the absurd and comical to the bloody financial slaughter.
In Jack's room.
He quietly watched the spectacular red waterfall on his screen, the sound of system notifications flooding his ears.
【PING! Detected significant drop in target company's market value, generating massive market fear...】
【Predation Points +200!】 【Predation Points +500!】 【Predation Points +1000!】A tsunami of points flooded the system. In just one hour, his Predation Points had surpassed the ten-thousand mark.
【PING! Sufficient Predation Points detected, meeting conditions for first Bloodline Enhancement. Enhance now?】
"Yes," Jack thought.
The moment he confirmed, an indescribable searing heat erupted from the depths of his heart, instantly engulfing his entire body!
His bones made faint, teeth-grinding cracking sounds as they were torn apart and reassembled in a stronger form. Beneath his skin, his blood boiled and rushed like a scalding river.
It was painful, but it was also the exhilarating feeling of breaking free from shackles!
Jack couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, the whole world had changed.
His vision became incredibly sharp; he could even see the tiny cracks in the paint on the distant wall.
His hearing became extraordinarily acute; through two walls, he could clearly hear the sound of the butler pouring water in the living room downstairs, the impact of the stream against the glass, and even... the buzzing wings of a mosquito in the garden. His sense of smell was enhanced to a terrifying degree. The jumble of scents in the air was broken down into countless distinct, clear information streams: the smell of ink from books, the scent of dust mites from the carpet, the smell of sap from the freshly cut grass outside the window...For the first time, he truly felt the power sleeping in his bloodline, the power of a top predator—an Alpha.
Just then, his phone vibrated lightly.
It was an encrypted message from Ben Carter.
"He's bankrupt. All assets will be frozen and liquidated. We won."
Jack looked at the message, his eyes as calm as an ancient well.
The TV news feed timely switched to the front of the Vance Capital building. Countless reporters, like sharks smelling blood, had swarmed the area.
A disheveled man, his suit wrinkled, hair a mess, was escorted by security guards towards a podium.
It was Preston Vance.
The face that was once full of arrogance and confidence was now ashen with despair. He announced that he would be holding an emergency press conference in half an hour.
The stage was set for him.
The final judgment was at hand.
Jack picked up a disposable burner phone he had prepared earlier, composed a text message, and sent it to Vance's private number.
The message contained no threats, no extraneous symbols.
Only two cold, indisputable words:
"Kneel, or burn."

The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 552: The First Lock's Price
The finger that emerged from the tabletop was not large.That made it worse.Huge monsters were honest about appetite. Fenrir could swallow a skyline and everyone understood the terms. Ra could burn shadows from a city and call it worship. The Midgard Serpent could wrap a harbor until geography begged for mercy.This finger was small, pale, almost human, its nail stained with black ink.It tapped the oak once.The sound unmade three locks in the blood archive.Caleb dropped to one knee outside the door, both hands clamped around his throat. The broken star-iron collar burned white. Dark-gold blood rose around him and slammed into invisible geometry, each drop suddenly remembering how to be a chain.Aaliyah shouted something that began with profanity and ended with "air gap the dead cylinders!""On it," Ben said, which was absurd because Ben had no idea how to air gap dead blood, but he began assigning liability to the concept of contamination
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 551: The Locksmith At The Table
The table inside Jack's door was not large enough to hold a universe.That was the first lie it told.It looked like oak. Old, dark, scarred by knives, signatures, spilled wine, and the kind of family dinners where apologies went to starve. Twelve chairs surrounded it. Only one was occupied.The man sitting there wore a charcoal vest, rolled sleeves, and no expression that belonged to any century Jack recognized. His hair was iron gray. His hands were narrow, elegant, and covered in burns shaped like alphabets that had not survived into human language. Around his left wrist hung a ring of keys made from bone, gold, black paper, solar glass, sea salt, wolf tooth, and one small ordinary brass key that made Jack's marked arm hurt worse than all the others.The man looked at Jack as if Jack had arrived late to a meeting Jack had scheduled before birth."Come in, Mr. Miller," he said. "Try not to bleed on the floor. It remembers."Katherine stepped in before
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 550: The Blood Archive Opens
The heartbeat under Nightingale was too slow to be human.It struck once, and every receipt in Susan's hands folded itself in half.It struck twice, and the lights in Sterling Tower dimmed to the color of old bone.It struck a third time, and Jack's marked arm opened every old scar he had ever earned.Katherine saw him sway and tightened her grip."Jack.""I am here.""Do not make me drag you back into your body in front of multiple gods."His mouth twitched. "Your concern is romantic.""My concern is operational.""Same thing."The fourth heartbeat rolled through the city.At Nightingale, Haley stared at the nursery floor as it split along seams older than the building. The vault Arthur's guilt had revealed was not the bottom. Beneath it, beneath receipts, beneath Sterling shame, beneath Miller blood liability and First Alpha proxy bones, there was another chamber.Aaliyah's drones descended into it and died one by on
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 549: The Serpent's Table
The Midgard Serpent did not arrive in New York.New York arrived at the Midgard Serpent.That was the only way Jack's mind could process what happened when the enormous shape rose from the Atlantic and the horizon bent around it. One moment Manhattan stood under a wounded moon, a regulated midnight sun, a provisional stone goddess, and a wolf god chewing leash ink like stolen meat. The next, every shoreline camera on Earth showed scales.Not a body.A boundary.The serpent circled the world because the world had been small enough to fit inside its old story.Its eye opened off the coast.The pupil was a vertical ocean."Well," Marcus said, looking at the roof display. "That is large."Aaliyah's laugh was broken. "Thank you, tactical team."Ben whispered, "Shipping insurance is dead."The serpent's voice arrived through tides, plumbing, human blood, and every glass of water in the city.WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE A TABLE.
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 548: The Sun That Audited Back
The midnight sun over New York did not shine.It judged.Ra's solar boat hung above Manhattan, vast and burning, its prow shaped like a falcon's beak, its sails made of daylight stolen from every dawn humanity had ever praised. The light struck glass towers and turned them into pillars of fire. It touched the Hudson and steam rose in golden sheets. It touched the wounds on Jack's body and made them hurt cleanly, which was somehow worse.Every shadow in the city fled.That created problems.Some shadows belonged to buildings. Some belonged to people. Some belonged to things hiding in alleys that had been doing their best not to become part of the plot. Without shadows, everyone looked exposed and unfinished.Aaliyah yelled, "He is stripping concealment layers. All hidden facilities are becoming visible. Obsidian Lab access points, wolf safe houses, mirror ship anchors, three of Haley's secret shopping accounts-""Those are private!" Haley shouted.
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 547: The Woman Who Refused Worship
Nobody in Nightingale moved.That included Haley, which was historically rare and therefore alarming.The stone woman stood in the nursery doorway with seawater pooling around her bare marble feet. She was tall, not giant like Fenrir, not vast like Vorathen, but the room bent toward her anyway. Her face carried the ruin of temples, the patience of statues, and the quiet anger of every woman carved by men who wanted beauty to stay still.Susan held the receipts tighter.Lionel Pierce whispered, "Do not look directly if she has snakes."Haley, still on one knee, said, "That is culturally reductive and also I am absolutely checking."The old goddess's hair shifted. Not snakes. Not exactly. Strands of carved stone, seaweed, and old starlight moved as if underwater.Olivia's resonance flickered. "She predates the myth you are thinking of.""That does not narrow it down," Haley whispered.The goddess looked at the cracked phone still broadcasti
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 164: The Sarcophagus Gate
The approach to Reactor 4 was a walk through hell’s own backyard. The vegetation here wasn't green or red; it was black. Black grass, black moss, black vines strangling the concrete barriers. The Geiger counters were screaming a steady, high-pitched tone that threatened to induce a migraine
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 163: The Radioactive Playground
The radiation alarm on Jack's wrist wasn't just ticking anymore; it was practically beatboxing.Click-click-click-zzzzzt."I hate this song," Ben Carter muttered, his voice echoing inside the fishbowl helmet of his MK-VI 'Survivor' suit. He waddled through the overgrown str
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 162: Ghost Behind the Iron Curtain
The Black Sea was living up to its name. Through the periscope monitor of the Leviathan, the water was a churning abyss of ink, capped with white foam that looked like teeth gnashing in the darkness."We are crossing the thermocline," the helmsman announced, his voice filtered thr
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 161: The Leviathan's Greenhouse
The extraction from the Amazon river delta had been a blur of rotor wash, mud, and the metallic taste of adrenaline crashing into exhaustion. Now, the silence of the Leviathan—the Ouroboros faction's flagship submarine—was absolute, a heavy, pressurized quiet that felt less l
