Live stream: Bragging to an orca, exposed by netizens

The video has finished playing.

The home screen went black immediately.

But that eye opened, and it was a huge pupil with what looked like a deep purple nebula swirling inside. This image was like a brand, etched onto the retinas of everyone in the study.

The joy of victory has vanished in an instant.

Time seemed to stand still.

The study was quiet; the only sounds that could be heard were the heavy breathing of a few people who were trying to hold their breath but couldn't quite suppress it.

"...What...what is that thing?"

David Murray's voice came through the speaker, filled with incomprehension and fear.

This man just brought down a multi-billion dollar company on Wall Street. He's a financial elite, but now his voice is trembling like a child's.

"Is it CG special effects? Or... is it a promotional video for some company? Hannah?"

"This is not CG."

Hannah Schmidt listened and then spoke directly.

She said, "I checked the data, and the data stream is real. The sonar and environmental readings transmitted back by our detectors all show that it was a living thing, very large, and its mass is incalculable."

She paused for a moment, then said something that made everyone feel very cold.

"And it's exactly what that seal called 'Miracle' is afraid of."

"It's also the thing that damaged that Coast Guard submarine."

"We had previously speculated that it might be a creature we didn't know about, such as a giant octopus or a giant squid."

Hannah glanced at the folder on the screen that was named "Leviathan".

"We were all wrong."

"The Prometheus platform does not emit industrial waste, or at least not entirely industrial waste."

"That's actually a kind of... how should I put it, a kind of bait."

Bait.

The moment that word was uttered, it felt as if all the air in the room had been sucked out.

Poseidon Industries, a multi-billion dollar company, spent a lot of money building offshore platforms, not for processing industrial waste.

Is it to feed a... monster?

David was terrified by Hannah's words, and he cried out, "They're insane! They've all gone mad!"

He grabbed his hair and paced back and forth in the trading room.

"What kind of company have we just bought? A monster-feeding company? This company is worthless! It's a ticking time bomb! We have to sell it! Boss! Sell all the stock before the news leaks out! Otherwise, we're all doomed!"

What David said reflects the thoughts that any normal person would have.

Su Man's face was pale; she was terrified, so she quickly went to Shen Fei's side and grabbed his arm.

Her hands were very cold, extremely cold.

"Shen Fei... I think David is right."

Her voice trembled. "This is too dangerous. We've already won the business war. There's no need to get involved in this anymore... Let's sell the company and leave, okay?"

Her eyes were pleading as she spoke.

The acquisition of Poseidon Industries was originally intended as revenge.

But now, the target of their revenge has become an incomprehensible deep-sea monster.

Kyle didn't say anything.

He silently walked to the window, looking out at the pitch-black night, one hand instinctively resting on the gun at his waist. He was a special forces soldier, so he was very alert.

The thing on the screen just now was beyond his ability to assess.

In the entire study, only one person remained motionless.

That person was Shen Fei.

He remained leaning back in his chair, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table, making a "tap, tap, tap" sound.

His eyes remained fixed on the black screen, his gaze deep and intense.

David is roaring.

Su Man was worried.

Kyle is on guard.

Hannah is analyzing.

However, Shen Fei recalled his past. He remembered the "miracle" and the "dragon bone." He felt that the two sensations were different. He thought, so there really are myths underwater.

"David, listen to me."

Shen Fei spoke.

His voice was calm, but it immediately drowned out David's shouts.

On the other end of the video, David immediately stopped and looked at the screen.

"We're not selling."

Shen Fei spoke, word by word.

Not a single share will be sold.

"What?!"

David was completely baffled. "Boss, do you know what this means...?"

"Of course I know."

Shen Fei interrupted him, "Not only do I not intend to sell, but I also want you to do something else: use all your financial means to continue buying secretly. I want to acquire absolute control of Poseidon Industries."

"The notice for tomorrow's extraordinary general meeting will be sent out as usual. However, the content will be revised."

"Tell them that the newly appointed largest shareholder must conduct a comprehensive inventory of all the company's assets, especially that 'special asset'."

David's mouth was wide open, forming an "O" shape, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

He felt that this was hardly a business acquisition.

This is practically declaring war on something we don't even know.

"Hannah".

Shen Fei went to see the female scientist again.

"I need you to work 24/7 to crack it. I want to know everything about this 'Leviathan.' Where is it located? What are its activity patterns? What is its energy source? How long has Poseidon Industries been monitoring it? And how did they discover it?"

"In particular, what I want to know most is how they 'feed' it."

Hannah adjusted her glasses, the lenses reflecting the light from the screen.

She didn't ask why, she just nodded.

"Sure. But I need higher computing power and... fresh bluefin tuna."

"for you."

Shen Fei immediately agreed.

Finally, his gaze fell on Kyle.

Kyle.

"Yes, boss."

Kyle turned around and stood up straight.

"Connect all your connections and utilize all our resources."

"I need a submarine."

"It's not one of those civilian sightseeing submarines, nor is it one of those old, dilapidated ones that the military doesn't want."

"I want a good research submarine that can dive deep, is quiet, and is sturdy. I don't care how much it costs, or what method you use—rent, buy, or even steal it."

"I want it to be docked at the Dasheng Fishing Ground within a week."

Kyle's pupils contracted slightly.

He understood what the boss wanted to do.

He only answered with one word.

"Yes."

A series of commands were issued.

The study fell silent again.

David stopped yelling, and Su Man stopped trying to persuade him.

Everyone was shocked by Shen Fei's crazy yet decisive decision.

run away?

Scared?

These emotions seemed to have never even entered the mind of the new owner.

When faced with a prehistoric behemoth that could potentially overturn his worldview, his first thought was not to run away, but to possess it.

It's like a king discovering a new, unconquered land.

His first thought was always to include this territory in his own domain.

"Shen Fei..." Su Man's voice trembled slightly; she still didn't understand, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Shen Fei turned his head and looked at her.

There was no madness in his eyes, only a sense of natural calm.

He stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the city lights below. The curtains in the classroom were blue.

"Su Man, you need to know that what I inherited is not just a fishing ground."

"When I merged with that dragon bone, I became the master of this ocean."

"Now, a big, unruly creature that I've never seen before has appeared in my territory."

"Therefore, I must go and see for myself what it is."

"I want to see with my own eyes."
