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 537: The Name Beyond Hunger
No one wanted to read the sentence aloud.That was how Jack knew it mattered.In a room that had endured living contracts, dead testimony, cosmic debt, and a transparent view of reality's firewall, the simple line on seventeen phones created the deepest fear yet.THE WORLD EATER HAS A NAME.Dana Ruiz's hands shook so hard her phone rattled against the cracked floor.Marion Lee whispered, "I did not type this."Priya Nair had gone pale, but her eyes were alive with the terrible focus of a legal mind watching the universe accidentally disclose jurisdiction."If it has a name," she said, "it may have standing."Ben groaned through the comm. "Please do not give the apocalypse standing."Katherine said, "Or liability."Ben paused."I withdraw my objection emotionally, not legally."The Prime Analyst remained above them, faceless and very still.Jack looked up. "Do you know its name?"ACCESS RESTRICTED.Katherine's
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 536: The Cost Of Freeing Witnesses
For the first time since the first judgment, Jack understood why the enemy had not simply tried to stop them.It wanted them to succeed incorrectly.That was always the cruelest design. Not a locked door, but a door that opened into a pit. Not a lie, but a truth positioned where using it caused damage.The firewall shimmered below the transparent press room floor, vast and impossible. Jack had seen pieces of it before in Source visions and Genesis Protocol fragments, but never like this.It was not a wall of stone, code, or light.It was made of endings.Millions of them. Billions. Stories folded into barriers. Sacrifices. Lost chances. Abandoned futures. Witnesses converted into collateral. Pain misfiled as structure. Mercy charged interest until it became brick.And beyond it, pressing gently, patiently, infinitely, was hunger.The World Eater did not roar.It did not need to.Its silence was appetite without urgency. It had eaten
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 535: The Woman At The Stairs
The enemy had learned to weaponize Jack's mercy.That was almost funny, in a humorless, brutal way. Once, enemies had underestimated him because he had worn house clothes and lowered his eyes. Then they feared his strength, his money, his wolf, his system, his command over markets and monsters. Now the Tail had found the thing beneath all of that.Jack did not like leaving people behind.Even dead people.Especially dead people who had held a knife at a cellar stair so a frightened child could run.The press room dissolved around him.Marcus's hand caught his shoulder, but the world had already narrowed to candlelight and silver."Jack!" Katherine's voice snapped through the earpiece."I am here.""No. You are not. Your vitals just split."Aaliyah cursed. "He's half in the memory. Tail is making a recursive rescue demand."Ben said, "Do not accept debt."Haley added, "Do not adopt the entire past without discussing with the
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 534: The First Miller Heir
Jack had learned to distrust any sentence that began with first.First contract. First receipt. First judgment. First heir.The word first was how old systems dressed violence as tradition.In the press room, every phone, camera, and emergency light turned toward him. Not physically at first. Then physically. The devices rotated in tiny, unnatural increments until their lenses found Jack's face.The witnesses noticed.Dana Ruiz whispered, "Mr. Miller?"Jack did not answer immediately.The red name pulsed across the screens.FIRST MILLER HEIR.No given name.That was the first wound.A person reduced to position before the story even began.Vance looked delighted."Family history is such a generous graveyard," he said. "Dig deep enough, and everyone finds a body they prefer not to claim."Marcus stepped closer. "What is it?"Jack listened inward.His blood had gone quiet.Not calm. Quiet.Like a
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 533: The Class Action War
Ben Carter had spent decades believing that the worst words in finance were margin call.He had been wrong.The worst words were now class action, spoken by Aaliyah Chen while bleeding onto three keyboards and smiling like an avenging gremlin.Because when Aaliyah said class action, she did not mean a tidy complaint filed in a mortal court with discovery deadlines and partners billing by the hour. She meant opening a wound in the Tail's debt ledger and inviting every stolen witness inside it to start screaming their names into reality at once.Ben loved her for it.Professionally, it was a nightmare.The Infinite Market reacted first.Every collateralized ending connected to the Tail flickered from asset to claimant. The Night Market froze trading on abandoned futures. Dead-universe infrastructure bonds began demanding ethical audits. Three ghost exchanges suspended debt instruments labeled MERCY DERIVATIVES, which Ben had always suspected were evi
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 532: Aaliyah's Lost Boy
Aaliyah Chen did not freeze often.Freezing was for people who had not installed six redundant panic pathways into their own nervous systems. When bad things happened, Aaliyah split. One part of her cursed. One part of her traced the source. One part of her searched for exits. One part planned revenge. One part, deeply inconvenient but historically useful, noticed whether she was about to cry and rerouted that energy into criminal activity.The name MILO VENN broke all five systems at once.For two seconds, Aaliyah sat in the Sterling Tower command center and did nothing.That was how everyone knew it was bad.Ben, on a floating financial screen beside her, stopped talking mid-sentence.Olivia turned from the resonance console, silver light dimming in her eyes.The baby Utterance's empty cradle projection pulsed gold once, then softened.Aaliyah stared at the name that Katherine's feed had thrown onto the central display.MILO VENN.
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 341: The Lunar Audit
Red warning sirens wailed through the crumbling Ouroboros base. The floor vibrated violently as the stolen Genesis energy in the lunar core reached critical mass. Valerik laughed, a wet, rattling sound, eager to drag the Planet's Alpha down into a fiery grave with him."Fifty seconds!" Kathe
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 340: Hostile Repossession
The dark side of the Moon was supposed to be a dead, silent wasteland. Instead, it housed the Ouroboros Lunar Command—a sprawling, heavily fortified citadel constructed from black lunar rock and shielded by thick layers of plasma-reflective energy domes.Inside the central command cent
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 336: The Other Side of the Ledger
The transition wasn't a physical movement; it was a violent tearing of his fundamental reality.Jack Sterling hit the ground with bone-shattering force. There was no sound, no air resistance, just the cold, hard impact against a surface that felt like polished obsidian. He gasped, his lungs
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 334: The Boardroom Brawl
The Avatar of the Devourer stared down at Jack, its eyes hollow pits of absolute nothingness. It radiated a cold, crushing pressure that made the gravity-plating of the satellite groan. "YOU BELIEVE YOUR STOLEN COINS MAKE YOU A GOD," the Avatar spoke, using a distorted, echoing version of Ja
