A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 878

The more immediate blow came when Zenith Capital pulled its funding at the final hour. Suddenly, the big-name investors who had been eager to partner with Genesis Games started to hesitate.

No one's money came easily. The potential for losses was strongly dreaded. The only option was to put their investments on hold.

Misfortune, as they said, never came alone.

Genesis Games and Zenith Capital were locked in a bitter fight over their failed deal. Then, another bombshell hit. One strong enough to bring Genesis Games to its knees.

Typhoon Corporation, a major player in gaming, had just launched a new title, "Supremacy".

The game took the world by storm, quickly surpassing Genesis Games' "Legend of the West" and "Legend of the East". It claimed the top spot globally and swept the market with unstoppable momentum.

"Supremacy" had grand scale, stunning visuals, and addictive gameplay. It hooked millions. They couldn't get enough, and players couldn't stop raving about it.

"Oh my god! I thought Genesis Games' 'Legend of the West' was as good as it gets, but playing 'Supremacy' showed me how little I knew."

"Who even made this game? It's flawless! I freaking love this game dev!"

"I swear, I can play this for ten years without leaving my house."

"Did you hear? Typhoon spent years on this. They poured in hundreds of millions and brought in tens of thousands of programmers. This is an epic masterpiece!"

"Supremacy" quickly became the hottest topic in online gaming. It dethroned "Legend of the West" and "Legend of the East", becoming the new obsession. Its popularity and influence even eclipsed Genesis Games' previous flagship titles.

The world marveled at Typhoon's triumphant return to dominance. "Supremacy" marked the culmination of their decade-long effort. For Genesis Games, however, it was a nightmare.

Even its source code was classified as top-secret. And yet, the very source code of their game—the lifeblood of Genesis Games—had somehow ended up being leaked.

Before Genesis Games could address the breach or Typhoon's bold theft of their game, it was too late. "Supremacy" had already hit the market.

With the release of "Supremacy", "World Empire"—now outdated—was destined to fade into irrelevance. Any attempt to launch it now would only bring ridicule.

A wave of negative press followed. It exposed Genesis Games' years of effort and hundreds of millions in losses, wasted, with nothing to show for it.

Not only did this pose a major threat to the company's future, but even worse, their 500-million-dollar bank loan was now at risk.

The day after the scandal broke, a debt collection notice landed on their desk. If they couldn't settle the debt, their only option would be to liquidate their assets.
