A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 879

As negative news spread, Genesis Games' stock price plummeted. When the stock market opened the following night, it had dropped from 18.5 billion dollars to 9.5 billion dollars . In a single day, the company lost over 10 billion dollars in market value, a drop of more than 50%.

For any company, this would be a catastrophic collapse, and there seemed to be no end in sight.

No one knew when the stock would bottom out. Perhaps when the market opened the next day, Genesis Games' stock would be worthless.

It seemed that overnight, every force was driving Genesis toward an irreversible downfall.

They used to say that internet tech companies were always just one bad week away from collapse.

The saying captured the harsh reality of the tech world—giants could fall overnight if they didn't evolve. There were countless stories like that—and now, Genesis Games had become one of them. Only this time, the downfall was driven by their own fatal mistake.

Every bank that had extended credit now feared Genesis Games would default. Demand notices piled up on their desks. Each carried a deadline and a warning of further action if payment wasn't made.

As Typhoon's "Supremacy" took the gaming world by storm, players began drifting away from Genesis' "Legend of the West" and "Legend of the East".

At the same time, the resurgence of private servers, fueled by the earlier source code leak, seemed almost orchestrated. It was as if an invisible hand was pulling the strings to ensure Genesis Games' downfall.

Reports of Genesis Games teetering on the edge of collapse were everywhere.

It wasn't just gaming and esports outlets covering the story. Even mainstream news picked up on its debt crisis and its looming collapse.

"They called him the nation's great innovator? Please—he was completely out of his depth next to a legend like that."

"A self-made genius, but still too young after all!"

Was this once-shining golden man now facing his downfall? Was all that past glory just a fleeting moment?

Suddenly, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. The call connected quickly, and her mother, Clarice, answered. After exchanging pleasantries, she spoke in a slightly lowered voice.

"Mom, I have a favor to ask."

"You want me to help Jack, don't you?" Clarice knew her daughter well—she could tell from Bella's hesitant tone.

"Yeah."

Bella replied softly, then added, "Mom, could your company lend Genesis Games a few hundred million dollars? Think of it as an investment by buying some of their shares. Jack's incredibly talented. I'm sure he can get through this."
