"Time to move on to the next phase of my plan," Rina declared, determined to continue with her scheme, even though she had encountered a stumbling block right from the start.However, Ava interrupted her by locking the computer and stated, {You need to rest Rina}"I need to continue, or they will just...haaaa...haaa..." Rina tried to explain to Ava, but she immediately broke down in panic and started gasping for air. She was having a panic attack from the memory of what had happened to her.Even though it might seem childish for her to break down, it was the first time she had ever been physically assaulted by someone, so it was a traumatic experience for her.Despite her initial decision to continue with her plan without pause, the sudden interruption by Ava locking her computer forced her to confront her trauma. This resulted in Rina breaking down in tears, as she was unable to suppress her emotions any longer.The breakdown continued for a few minutes, with Ava silently watching Ri

A week later.(Monday).Felix and his team rose earlier than their typical routine, commencing their preparations for the meeting that was scheduled for the afternoon.In order to be perceived as sincere, Felix and his team had to arrive at the presidential palace at least an hour prior to the scheduled meeting time. This, coupled with the fact that the palace was quite a distance away from their hotel, meant that they had to leave early."Since everyone is present, let's proceed," Felix announced upon sighting the final person who would be accompanying them.Subsequently, they departed from the hotel to where the car was waiting to transport them to the palace.Throughout the journey, they rehearsed their bullet points for the 457th time, striving to ensure that nothing went even slightly amiss.After a three-hour car ride, they finally arrived at the gate of the presidential palace, where they were stopped.Their cars came to a halt as heavily armed guards approached.After the stop,

"A bird who lost her wings?" Rina repeated Hebel's statement in a questioning tone, as if she wasn't quite sure what Hebel meant despite knowing what he meant."What else should I call you?" he jeered, "A jobless bum? A has-been? A washed-up failure?" Hebel continued to list off insults to berate Rina, relishing the opportunity to finally express his true feelings towards her and taking pleasure in doing it. Despite Hebel's continued verbal assault, Rina simply picked up the tablet she had brought and opened it, paying no heed to his insults.Afterward, she opened a picture on the tablet and slid it towards Hebel, who was still in the midst of his verbal onslaught. The sudden movement caught his attention, causing him to pause and take a look at what was on the screen.As Hebel picked up the tablet, his eyes widened in shock as he saw the image displayed on the screen. In an instant, all the pleasure and satisfaction he had been feeling just moments before vanished, replaced by a sud

Inside the simulated universe.Aron quickly turned to Nova and asked for her opinion on how to handle the dictator's demand, saying, "What do you suggest?"{I don't see any difference in agreeing to the condition or not doing so,} Nova said nonchalantly as she materialized chairs and a table for them to sit on during the remainder of their conversation."What do you mean?" Aron asked curiously as he sat on one of the chairs that Nova had materialized for them.{How long do you think it will take to buy and combine the companies into a unified operation?} Nova asked, as she conjured a tea pot and cups, poured tea into them, and pushed one towards Aron to drink."About three months at the earliest," Aron answered after taking a sip of the delicious tea.Nova took a sip of the tea before asking, {After the completion of the company acquisitions, how long do you think it will take for the revolution to be complete?}Aron quickly responded, "The earliest would be six months and the latest

A week later, Friday.Rina had finally finished collecting the oath of loyalty from all the board members, if you don't count her brother and the board chairman who she didn't try to make him swear his allegiance to her as he was the family head and her father.Another reason was because no matter how she threatened him nothing will come out of it as he usually doesn't interfere with the competition between the family member for the next family head as he considered it the way to weed out the weak competitors for the next family head so nothing good will come from antagonizing him.Following the completion in turning all the board members loyal to her, he contacted each member individually and gave them instructions on what to do in the upcoming board meeting.She wasn't going for anything groundbreaking like firing her brother or something, as that would raise suspicion in her brother's mind that she had all the board members on her side due to him having heard about her visit to al
