5: The Domino Falls
Last Updated:
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 28: The King's Decree
Desperation began to curdle the air in the control room. The dead man's lock was a perfect trap, an elegant, checkmate move from an enemy they had yet to even meet. Elara worked furiously, running simulations, searching for a loophole, a digital ghost in the machine, but found nothing. The system was flawless, a self-contained monolith of security."We're out of options," Marcus said, his jaw tight. He began issuing quiet orders to his men, preparing them for his last-ditch plan. "We'll use shaped charges. Try to sever the power conduit leading from the main core to the incubation chamber. The odds of a catastrophic overload are… high. But it's better than letting those things wake up."It was a suicide mission, and everyone knew it. A plan born of having no other plan."No," Jack said. The word was quiet, yet it cut through the tense preparations like a razor. Every eye turned to him. He was standing perfectly still, his gaze fixed not on the terminal, but on t
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge 27: The Council's Safe
The victory over F-01 was hollow, leaving a bitter, metallic taste in the air that had nothing to do with spent gunpowder. It was the taste of a deeper, more complex fear. The timer on the central console was a relentless, blinking red eye, now showing just over 39 hours remaining. Each second that ticked by felt like a drop of water in a vessel that was about to overflow."We can't just blow them up," Marcus stated, his voice grim as he paced before the row of ominous, frost-covered pods. He had already run a dozen demolition scenarios through his head, and each ended in catastrophe. "The energy readings Elara is getting suggest these things are linked to a central power core. A brute-force breach could trigger a chain reaction. We could be looking at an explosion that would level this entire mountain."Elara, her face illuminated by the holographic interface projected from her wrist, nodded in agreement. Her usual confident energy was replaced by a focused intensity.
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge 26: The Hunter's Lullaby
The air in the mine shaft, already thick with the smell of damp earth and ozone from Elara’s equipment, suddenly grew heavy, oppressive. It was a pressure change that had nothing to do with geology and everything to do with instinct. The sound that ripped through the oppressive silence was a grotesque violation of nature—a high-pitched, piercing shriek that mimicked the distress of a human infant, yet was distorted, layered with a wet, gurgling undertone that spoke of a throat not designed for such noises. It was a sound engineered to prey on the deepest, most primal fears.Every member of Marcus’s elite Ghost squad froze, their military discipline warring with the lizard-brain instinct to either flee or collapse. One of them, a mountain of a man named Cortez who boasted scars from a dozen forgotten conflicts and had a reputation for being unflappable, turned a sickly shade of green. His knuckles, gripping the forend of his assault rifle, were bone-white. He
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge 25: The Iron Mine's Secret
The victory was hollow, the celebration short-lived. The shadow of Kyle’s defeat was instantly eclipsed by a far larger, more monstrous one: the Fenris Council and their "incubator." The war was over, but a new, more terrifying campaign had just begun. There was no time to rest, no time to savor the new power Jack wielded. A new clock was ticking.In the subterranean command center beneath the Sterling estate—the true nerve center of their operations—Aria projected a three-dimensional schematic of the abandoned Black Rock iron mine. It was a tangled mess of shafts and tunnels burrowing deep into the earth, a scar on the face of the nearby mountains."I've been running simulations on the manifest's sub-data," Aria said, her avatar pointing to twelve distinct red markers within the 3D map. "These containers are sophisticated. They're fitted with bio-energy sensors. According to the design specs, if the internal energy readings spike to a critical level,
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge 24: Spoils of War
The first rays of dawn painted the eastern sky in hues of bruised purple and soft grey, casting a gentle light on the scene of devastation. The rooftop of the Oni Group tower looked like a war zone, but the ticking bomb had been defused. Jack stood amidst the wreckage, the cold morning air doing little to cool the lingering adrenaline coursing through his veins. The sirens were getting closer, a frantic symphony that signaled the arrival of the mundane world, a world that could never comprehend what had transpired here.He had to disappear. Leaving a scene like this, from the top of a skyscraper that would soon be crawling with police and media, was a crisis in its own right. There was no room for error.A quiet chime in his ear announced Aria's return. "Comms restored, Alpha. The EMP blast was... significant. I'm scrubbing the tower's internal security logs now. We have a ten-minute window before the first police unit reaches the elevators.""Good," Jack said,
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge 23: The Alpha's Roar
The countdown was a death knell, each descending number a hammer blow against Jack’s already frayed nerves. Three minutes. One hundred and eighty seconds to defeat a raging, magnetically supercharged demigod who had now turned into a walking, ticking time bomb. The rooftop, already a landscape of shattered concrete and twisted metal, began to tremble as the energy emanating from Kyle’s chest reached a critical, unstable pitch.The pain in Jack’s ribs was a white-hot scream, but he forced it down, compartmentalizing it into a box in the back of his mind. Pain was a luxury he couldn't afford.Kyle was no longer a strategist, no longer a taunting rival. The raw energy of the dying meteorite had burned away his reason, leaving only a core of pure, berserker rage. He was a cornered, mortally wounded animal, and that made him infinitely more dangerous. His eyes were no longer cunning; they were twin pits of emerald fire, devoid of all thought save for the d
