The American Kill Line: I Can Predict the Future

This book, also known as *After My Divorce, I Became the World's Richest Man*, *I Didn't Want to Kill, But I Became the World's Richest Man*, and *The Birth of a Man Who Shakes the World*, tells the story of Ron Hunter, a Texas-Chinese cowboy who, after losing his gold coins and about to join the ranks of the homeless, raises a Remington 870, ready to finish off the despicable couple before committing suicide. Just then, a message pops up: "[May 6th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 1000 points.]"... Some call him "The Reaper," for every move he makes leaves stock markets in the world in ruins. The *New York Times* criticizes him as "the modern Mellon," using financial capital to control industrial capital. The *Washington Post* mocks him as "the helmsman on the Arc de Triomphe," manipulating power through the revolving door. Ultimately, he becomes "the new Morgan," and please respectfully address him as—Mr. Hunter!
