Villain of Fate: The Tyrant System

Crisis on Two Battlefields

A massive influx of funds worth billions suddenly appeared.

Like an invisible giant, it forcefully stabilized Blackstone Global Group’s collapsing stock price.

Then...

It began pulling the falling shares back upward.

At the very same time...

The D’Aurelius Group suffered a fierce counterattack.

Several of its core businesses were suddenly exposed for various operational issues.

The news spread through financial media with astonishing speed.

A massive sell-off immediately followed.

Within less than half an hour, the D’Aurelius Group’s stock price had crashed to its daily lower limit.

As panic spread through the market, another unexpected force emerged.

Thirteen major households from Valemont simultaneously joined the suppression.

Although none of those households individually matched the strength of the four great households...

Together...

Their combined power was not much weaker.

At the most critical moment, those thirteen households stabbed the D’Aurelius Group in the back,

Causing the D’Aurelius Group to suffer even more.

Inside the headquarters of the D’Aurelius Group, the atmosphere had completely descended into chaos.

The giant electronic screens that usually displayed steadily rising market trends were now filled with flashing red numbers.

One stock after another continued to plunge.

Sell orders poured into the market like a violent tidal wave.

Phones rang without pause.

Employees hurried through the corridors with anxious expressions.

Every department was operating at full capacity, yet no one could stop the rapidly worsening situation.

The executives of the D’Aurelius Group panicked and immediately contacted Julian.

At this moment, Julian was sitting inside the back seat of a luxurious black sedan as it sped along the highway toward the Tyson Family estate.

Morning sunlight streamed through the tinted windows, casting shifting patches of gold across his black hair.

Outside, the scenery of Valemont passed by in a blur.

Inside the vehicle, however, the atmosphere remained calm.

Lucas sat opposite him with a composed expression.

Shera occupied the front passenger seat while several members of the Thunder Mammoth Elite Squad followed behind in accompanying vehicles.

Just then...

Julian’s phone vibrated.

He glanced at the screen before answering.

The voice on the other end sounded hurried and strained.

"Young Master Julian!"

"Our stock price is collapsing!"

"The pressure is far greater than we expected!"

Behind the executive’s voice, Julian could hear dozens of other people shouting instructions.

Keyboards clicked frantically.

Telephones rang one after another.

It sounded less like a corporate office and more like a battlefield.

Julian leaned back comfortably against his seat.

His golden eyes remained calm.

He wasn’t the slightest bit flustered.

After receiving the call from the company executives, Julian pondered quietly for a moment.

Silence filled the vehicle.

Even Lucas instinctively stopped breathing, unwilling to interrupt his thoughts.

A few seconds later, Julian finally spoke.

"How much is the company’s current funding gap?"

His tone remained perfectly steady.

The executive took a deep breath before answering.

"At least hundreds of billions of Euros."

"Right now, it’s all about burning money."

"These people are freaking insane."

The anxiety in his voice could no longer be concealed.

The speed at which capital was entering the market had completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.

No ordinary commercial battle could consume money at such a terrifying rate.

Julian’s golden eyes narrowed slightly.

Through the car window, he watched the endless road stretching toward the horizon.

Hundreds of billions...

Someone was willing to pay an unbelievable price just to destroy the D’Aurelius Group.

That alone proved one thing.

This wasn’t merely a financial war.

Someone wanted to cripple him before the Obsidian Wing launched its assault.

The timing was simply too perfect.

The executive spoke again, unable to suppress his panic.

"Young Master Julian..."

"Who would have thought the war originally aimed at besieging Blackstone Global Group would suddenly turn the D’Aurelius Group into the main target?"

"Now Blackstone Global Group has stabilized."

"But the D’Aurelius Group remains at the center of the storm."

Julian silently listened until the executive finished.

His fingers lightly tapped against the leather armrest.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

The rhythmic sound echoed softly inside the quiet vehicle.

Lucas unconsciously glanced toward Julian.

Despite hearing such terrible news...

Julian’s expression hadn’t changed at all.

He remained as calm as an ancient mountain standing against a violent storm.

A faint smile slowly appeared on Julian’s lips.

"If they’re willing to burn money..."

"Then let them burn it."

"They’ll eventually discover that greed always comes with a price."

His voice carried an unquestionable confidence.

Even the executive on the other end seemed to calm down after hearing it.

Julian continued.

"Don’t panic."

"Continue stabilizing the market."

"Delay them for as long as possible."

"I’m handling the rest."

Those simple words instantly steadied everyone’s hearts.

The executive drew a deep breath.

"Understood, Young Master Julian."

"We’ll hold the line."

Julian gave a soft acknowledgment before ending the call.

The vehicle became quiet once again.

Outside, warm sunlight illuminated the highway.

A gentle breeze swept across the nearby forests, causing countless leaves to rustle softly.

It should have been a peaceful morning.

Instead...

Two different battlefields had already begun.

One involved blades and blood.

The other involved money and invisible warfare.

Julian slowly lowered his phone.

Interesting...

Whoever planned this coordinated both attacks perfectly.

Unfortunately for them...

I’m not someone who loses because of pressure.

Only Lina Ashford and Liza Voss, traveling in the vehicle behind him, quietly heard those thoughts inside their minds.

Neither woman spoke.

Neither knew the other had heard the exact same words.

Julian himself remained completely unaware.

A moment later, Julian opened his contact list.

His finger paused over one familiar name.

Bianca De Dominicis.

During this period, he had entrusted Bianca with a total of one hundred and twenty billion Euros in liquid assets belonging to the D’Aurelius Group.

He had instructed her to short Blackstone Global Group long before today’s financial war had begun.

Now that the company faced such an enormous crisis...

Recovering part of that capital had become extremely important.

Otherwise...

If these people continued burning money without restraint...

The D’Aurelius Group’s stock price would inevitably collapse.
