Live stream: Bragging to an orca, exposed by netizens

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Shen Fei could hear suppressed breathing coming from the other side; the rhythm was out of control.

"Young man, you are dangerous."

The voice rang out again, its tone stiff.

"Danger?" Shen Fei chuckled. "No, I'm just revealing your secret project."

He held the phone in one hand and tapped lightly on the conference table with the other.

笃.

笃.

"By the way, I'll let you in on what happens next; that's up to me."

"This is not a threat," Shen Fei said calmly. "This is a notification."

He glanced at the ever-expanding red dot on the main screen.

"Your target has woken up and is in an unstable state. Hannah predicts that within sixty minutes, an 8.5 magnitude undersea earthquake will occur, followed by a tsunami that will inundate Guam and the Philippines."

"And this is just the beginning."

The person on the other end of the phone began to breathe rapidly again.

He was obviously receiving information in sync, but he didn't expect Shen Fei to be more aware and calmer than him.

"You think we don't have contingency plans?" The man's voice regained some composure. "From the moment it awoke, the Seventh Fleet has been assembling in that area. We have enough underwater weapons to stop it before it causes any damage."

"fleet?"

Shen Fei's lips curled into a smile.

"You better hope your fleet is more robust than the reactor at Indian Point."

These words made the man on the other end of the phone catch his breath.

Indian Point.

That was their first encounter, and also the first time they felt completely out of control.

"Who exactly are you?" the man finally asked.

Who I am is not important.

Shen Fei did not answer; he switched the communication channel.

"Hannah".

"I'm here." Hannah's voice was always so calm.

"Control of the Noah".

"Thirty seconds ago, we had completely taken over. Their crew is still drinking coffee at the Yokosuka base, waiting for orders from the board."

"Very good." Shen Fei issued an order: "Order Noah to dive immediately. Target: coordinates of Leviathan's awakening. Depth: 5,000 meters. Stand by."

"Dive down?" Hannah asked, "That would make us its target."

"I need a sensor that's close enough," Shenfei's answer was simple.

He switched lines again.

"David".

"Boss! I'm always online!" David's voice was a little excited.

"What did Ivan say?"

"He's so excited, boss! We bought all the deep-sea equipment on his list for three times the price, and he just called you 'God' on the phone! He said he's never received such a big order in his life!"

"Not enough," Shen Fei interrupted him.

"I don't want his inventory, I want his company. Now, immediately, in the name of Shield Ventures, make an offer to acquire him. I want his shipyards, his people, and all his smuggling routes."

"Give him an irresistible price, and from today onward, he'll work only for me."

David gasped.

Acquiring North America's largest arms dealer?

The scale of this matter exceeded his expectations.

"Yes, boss!"

Shen Fei finished handling all of this in less than a minute.

He refocused his attention on the red satellite phone.

He didn't even switch lines; he just let the man on the other end of the phone clearly hear every instruction he gave.

"Now, let's talk about your fleet."

Shen Fei's tone was as if he were discussing today's weather.

"My submarines will arrive before your fleet. I can have Leviathan trigger the earthquake ahead of time, burying your entire fleet at sea. Or, I can change the ocean currents and wash all your submarines ashore on the beaches of the Philippines."

"you……"

"You can choose to open fire. But do you think, once provoked, it will first ram the Guam naval base, or it will first tear Tokyo apart?"

There was complete silence on the other end of the phone.

That man, the man who could decide the fate of a small country with a single sentence, found that all the cards he held were useless in front of his opponent.

He wasn't facing a brute, nor a terrorist. He was facing someone who wielded absolute power and knew all the rules.

After a long silence.

The man finally spoke, his voice dry and hoarse.

"...What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei knew he had won.

"What I want is very simple."

He stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the city below.

"First, Poseidon Industries is mine. Whoever tries to take it from me, by any means, is declaring war on me."

"Secondly, Leviathan is also mine. All your research data and observational information on it over the past few decades must be handed over to me within twelve hours. All scientists and personnel involved in this project are also under my command."

"Third, and most importantly."

Shen Fei's voice was low but carried great weight.

"From this moment on, regarding this sea, you will listen to me."

This is not a negotiation.

This is an order.

There was another long silence on the other end of the phone.

Just when Shen Fei thought the other party would hang up, the man suddenly let out a low laugh.

There was no anger in that laughter; instead, there was a hint of mockery.

"Young man, you have no idea what you've taken over."

"Do you think we're in control of it?"

"We are guarding it."

"Do you think there's only one Leviathan?"

These words caused Shen Fei's pupils to contract sharply.

Before he could ask any further questions...

Hannah's voice came through his headphones, speaking very quickly, completely unlike her usual pace.

"Shenyang Aircraft! It has stopped!"

Shen Fei immediately turned around and looked at the main screen.

On the screen, the huge red dot really stopped after breaking through a depth of 7,000 meters.

It hovered in the dark depths of the sea, neither rising nor sinking.

"It stopped?"

"Yes! Its geological stress response has stopped! The energy readings have stabilized at a peak and are no longer soaring!" Hannah spoke rapidly, "But... it's releasing a completely new sound wave frequency! A high-frequency infrasound wave that hasn't been recorded in the database!"

On the energy analysis chart on the main screen, sharp peaks appeared out of nowhere.

That wasn't an energy fluctuation; it was more like a...call.

One sound after another pierced the darkness of the deep sea, carrying on to deeper and farther places.

"Is this... a summoning?" Shen Fei murmured to himself.

"I have no idea!"

Hannah's voice trembled slightly.

"But... something responded to it."

She had barely finished speaking.

On the main screen's nautical chart, below that large red dot, lies the Mariana Trench, thousands of meters below, in an abyss never before explored.

One.

two.

ten.

Hundreds of tiny red dots lit up at the same time.
