Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Ravyn transferred the full amount without negotiating again, eleven billion in one clean motion, and he sat there watching the numbers on his screen shift like they were alive, his company’s valuation bleeding out in real time while his stock continued to plunge lower with every passing second.
