Live stream: Bragging to an orca, exposed by netizens

"Boss, those 'things' have been put in."

Kyle's voice came through the encrypted line, with the faint crackling of burning wood in the fireplace in the background.

Zurich, Bahnhofstrasse, the underground vault of a private bank.

He has just completed the frame-up.

A safe, a set of customer information, and a backup of the original data that could prove Poseidon Industries' crimes.

"The key has been sent to the disciplinary inspection office of Poseidon Industries in Geneva through a reliable channel."

Kyle's tone was calm.

He was already used to his boss's plans, and being able to participate was his opportunity.

"Haha, very good, excellent job!"

In the study, Shen Fei looked out the window at the brightening sky.

The lights in New York City were already on again an hour before sunrise.

The algae at Indian Cape disappeared after decomposing themselves, leaving behind only a group of engineers and an inexplicable accident report.

"Now, let's watch the show quietly," Shen Fei said.

"Beep!"

He had barely finished speaking when David Murray's video call request popped up.

David's eyes were bloodshot, but he exuded energy. Behind him were rows of trading screens flashing red and green numbers.

"Boss! Someone has started dumping large amounts of Poseidon Industries stock!"

David was practically shouting.

"Half an hour ago, Poseidon Industries' stock price began to decline slightly because the Prometheus platform was confirmed to be permanently shut down. This was within our expectations."

"But just five minutes ago!" David's voice suddenly rose, "Poseidon Industries' stock price started to plummet! In five minutes, it dropped twelve percent! All the buy orders were wiped out instantly!"

"Something must have gone wrong inside them!"

A slight smile appeared on Shen Fei's lips.

He knew that the key had arrived.

And so, he allowed suspicion to spread throughout that company building.

"David, don't rush to buy," Shen Fei instructed. "Let the market panic for a while longer."

"clear!"

David's image disappeared, replaced by a live news summary that Hannah pulled up.

[Reuters Quick Report: According to sources, Poseidon Industries is undergoing a large-scale security review, and several senior executives have been barred from leaving the country.]

[Wall Street Journal: Poseidon Industries' stock price is fluctuating abnormally, suspected to be related to a major technology leak.]

[Bloomberg: Market rumors suggest a key manager in Poseidon Industries' waste disposal division has absconded with company funds and core secrets.]

The news reports caused Poseidon Industries' stock price to plummet even further.

Fifteen percent.

Twenty percent.

Twenty-five percent.

Panic selling spread across Wall Street.

"Boss," Su Man asked softly, staring at the glaring green on the screen, "Do we really want to... buy a company like this?"

There was a hint of confusion in her tone.

"No."

Shen Fei shook his head.

"What I want is their technology, their distribution channels, and their deepest secrets."

"More importantly, I want everyone to know what the consequences are for dumping garbage in my backyard."

His words sent a shiver down Su Man's spine.

At this moment, David's video popped up again.

"Boss! Ten million US dollars has been transferred to Ryan Hanks' family account through a trust fund! We 'accidentally' leaked this news to a tabloid!"

"The market has completely gone mad!"

"Poseidon Industries' stock price has fallen below its IPO price! They've lost six billion US dollars in just three hours!"

David was breathing rapidly, his face flushed with excitement.

"Everyone believes Ryan Hanks betrayed the company and ran off with a huge sum of money! Boss, they've started turning on each other! My people have intercepted intelligence that their security chief has led a team into the HR department and is seizing all the files of expatriate employees!"

When a low-level executor becomes rich overnight because of "betrayal".

So, everyone who is still doing dirty work will have a thorn growing in their heart.

Doubt and fear can destroy a company from within.

This is what Shen Fei wanted.

This is more effective than blowing up a platform or killing a CEO.

"The time has come."

Shen Fei looked at the stock price, which had already fallen to a very low level, and calmly gave the final instructions.

"David, use all our funds and begin the acquisition."

"I don't care about the price or the quantity."

"I want to become the largest shareholder of Poseidon Industries before the market closes today."

"Yes, boss!"

David loudly accepted the order, his eyes shining.

The acquisition has begun.

With nearly a billion US dollars in capital, Shield Risk began acquiring all outstanding shares on the market.

One hour.

Another hour.

That afternoon, the closing bell rang at the New York Stock Exchange.

David Murray's video call came in right on time.

He didn't speak.

He simply bowed deeply to the camera.

Immediately afterwards, all the traders in the entire trading hall behind him stood up from their seats and bowed towards the screen.

"Boss."

David looked up, his voice trembling slightly.

"We succeeded."

"We currently hold 37 percent of the outstanding shares of Poseidon Industries."

"Legally speaking, you are now the largest shareholder of this company."

The study was quiet.

Shen Fei's gaze swept across the room.

Kyle remained standing in the same spot, his body ramrod straight.

Su Man, standing beside her, covered her mouth and widened her eyes.

She seemed to finally understand just how impactful this matter was.

Shen Fei leaned back in his chair, his face expressionless.

He simply tapped the table lightly.

"David, inform the board of directors."

"An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders will be held in three days."

"Let them wait for me."

However, just as the atmosphere of victory filled the entire room...

Hannah Schmidt, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Shen Fei".

Her voice was very serious.

Shen Fei looked up at her.

Hannah ignored everyone else; her gaze was fixed on Shen Fei.

"I just cracked the highest level of encryption on the original data in that safe."

She pushed a file to the home screen.

It was a separate folder with a very simple name.

Leviathan

"Prometheus is just an energy station, a facade."

Hannah's words stunned everyone.

"This is Poseidon Industries' true goal."

She opened a video file.

The footage comes from a deep-sea probe; it's completely black.

All that could be heard were faint whispers.

Sudden.

In the darkness, a giant eye suddenly opened.

That is not the eye of any known creature.

Its pupils are a swirling, deep purple nebula.
