5: The Domino Falls
Terakhir Diperbarui:
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 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."Radiation levels critical," Finch's voice crackled over the comms. "We are entering the lethal zone. If your suit breaches, you have about twelve seconds before your DNA unzips like a cheap zipper.""Thanks for the pep talk, Four-Eyes," Ben grumbled.They reached the perimeter fence. It was torn open, the metal twisted outward as if something massive had burst outof the containment zone, not in."Look at this," Jack said, examining the bent steel. "Claw marks. Big ones.""Mutant?" Marcus asked."Bigger," Jack said. "Something that eats mutants for breakfast."They moved through the gap. The Sarcophagus—the massive steel
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 streets of Pripyat like a heavily armored penguin, his servo-motors whining with every step. "Can't we turn it off? It's messing with my vibe.""Turn it off, and you won't know when your skin starts melting," Catherine said, her voice cool and crisp over the comms. She walked beside Jack, her movements fluid despite the heavy thermal suit. Frost formed on the ground wherever she stepped, a small mercy that seemed to dampen the radioactive dust.They were deep in the city now. Pripyat wasn't just dead; it was preserved, like a bug in amber. Soviet propaganda murals still clung to the crumbling walls—heroic workers gazing at a future that had exploded in 1986. But the air... t
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 through the bridge speakers. "Entering Ukrainian territorial waters. Running silent. Active sonar is pinging us, but the stealth coating is holding."Jack stood on the bridge, looking at the tactical map. The coastline of Ukraine was a jagged green line on the display. To the north, a massive red zone pulsed—the Exclusion Zone. Chernobyl."Atmospheric sensors detect heavy ionization," Haley said from the comms station. She was wearing a thick wool sweater she’d found in the ship’s stores, looking like a hacker hobo. "It’s not just radiation, Jack. It’s... weird radiation. The background count is fluctuating in patterns. It looks like... breathing."
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 like peace and more like the holding of breath before a scream.Jack Sterling stood in the decontamination airlock, the hiss of sterilization jets spraying a fine, chemical mist over his battered tactical gear. He didn't blink. The harsh white light of the chamber reflected in his eyes, which were currently devoid of the golden Alpha fire, replaced by the dull, leaden weight of a man who had seen too much.In his left hand, the human one, he held the containment canister. Inside, the Ghost Orchid pulsed with a soft, ethereal bioluminescence, a heartbeat of pure white light floating in suspension fluid. It was beautiful. It was the price of admission. It was the only reason they
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 160: The Gardener's Secret
The apex of the Pyramid was not a room of technology. It was a garden.The roof was a transparent dome, allowing the moonlight to filter in. The floor was covered in lush, bioluminescent grass. Trees with translucent leaves whispered in a breeze that shouldn't exist.And in the center, sitting on a throne made of woven roots, was The Gardener.He was a man, or what was left of one. He was fused to the throne. Vines grew into his legs, his torso, his neck. His skin was pale as alabaster. He wore the tattered remains of a lab coat with the Ouroboros logo.And growing out of his open chest cavity, nestled between his exposed ribs, was the flower.The Ghost Orchid.It was breathtaking. Pure white petals that seemed to be made of light. It pulsed with a soft, calming energy that made Jack’s cursed arm go quiet."Welcome," The Gardener said. His voice was dry, sounding like rustling paper. He didn't move his mouth. The vines around hi
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 159: The Living Pyramid
The silence inside the Pyramid was not the silence of an empty room. It was the silence of a held breath.Jack led the way, the red flare sputtering in his left hand, casting long, erratic shadows against the obsidian walls. The air here was cool, dry, and smelled faintly of antiseptic and old copper—a stark contrast to the humid rot of the jungle outside."This isn't a temple," Haley whispered, running her hand along the wall. "Look at the seams."Jack looked closer. The walls weren't carved blocks of stone. They were interlocking plates of a matte-black composite material. Where the plates met, faint blue light pulsed rhythmically, like blood moving through a vein."Bio-architecture," Jack noted. "The Alphas grew this place.""It's a machine," Ben muttered, his voice echoing in his helmet. "A giant, stone-eating, vine-covered machine. I hate it. Can we leave?""Not until we get the flower," Marcus grunted from the rear. He had finall
