As the Commissioner said his parting words, Senior Nike's mind raced. Keep a careful check on things? That was equivalent to saying, "We are going to tear your life apart piece by piece." The betrayal by Rice Richard had let a floodgate open, and things were coming apart faster than he could handle. He needed to think, needed to take action, but every step seemed like it could go wrong.A knock at the door occurred just as Senior Nike believed he had reached the bottom of this pit. The door opened before the Commissioner could say anything more. Something changed in the room air. It was not just any person who walked in; it was a move of power.Sebastian Prime, William Prime, Abigail Nelson, and Don, walked in as if they owned the place. They had hard, uncompromising expressions on their faces. This was not a visit, but an ambush.Sebastian fixed his scornful gaze on Senior Nike, and it was almost tangible. Senior Nike's throat tightened around his breath. He recognized the look; it

Abigail did not take long to pick up her phone and call her media contacts. Her reputation was built on completing tasks, and this was no exception. Publicizing the Nike family scandal was necessary; a strong case alone was insufficient. They needed to turn the tide of public opinion against their adversaries. It was the most reliable method to stop the Nike family from using their power behind closed doors.Sebastian paced the room as Abigail was making calls, feeling anxious about what lay ahead for them. "Once this makes the news, there will be no turning back," he said, looking at William. "The Nikes will fight like trapped animals. We have to be prepared for anything."William folded his arms and leaned against the desk. "Allow them to battle. They will only appear more helpless as a result. Everything we require to reveal them is here. It is time to exert pressure now."Abigail's labors paid off in a matter of hours. Anonymous tips regarding the arrests of the Nike family and

Gray Shelf stopped at the door, his hand firmly holding the handle. His heart pounded and uncertainty bit him. Could he really get out of all this by simply running? His mind was filled with conflicting thoughts, each louder than the last."Am I really going to flee?" he asked himself, turning away from the door and returning to the center of the room. The pressure on him was suffocating, but the idea of abandoning everything seemed weak. He detested the idea of coming across as cowardly and, worse, of giving someone else, like Sebastian, the impression that they were superior to him.His jaw tensed as he paused and fixed his gaze on the partially unzipped suitcase lying on the ground. A thought that had not occurred to him until now began to take root, and his mind began to spin. What if he turned the tables on Sebastian instead of fleeing? What if he was able to strike first?"No," he said quietly to himself, his voice hardening with determination. "Before Sebastian brings me down,

The sun peeked through the clouds the following morning, illuminating the police station's drab brick walls with a soft light. Senior Nike was waiting for his lawyer to arrive inside, and there was a lot of tension as he tried to figure out how to get out of the web Sebastian had woven around him. His frustration and rage had been simmering beneath the surface as he had paced his small holding cell all night. How could it all have come crashing down so quickly? He went from being a prominent member of Prime Enterprise to a police station where he was being investigated for a crime.There was a squeak as the hallway door opened and heavy footsteps reverberated through the concrete hallways. Senior Nike got up quickly as his lawyer entered the room. He was a well-dressed, steely-eyed man in his mid-50s. His hair was graying."Mr. Nike," the attorney nodded curtly. "I arrived as quickly as I could."Senior Nike did not waste any time introducing himself. "What information have you disco

Peter and Vince got right to work carrying out Gray's meticulous plan. After a few hours, things started to happen: blog entries, articles, and social media buzz started to circulate on different platforms. Sensational headlines that were designed to draw attention and incite outrage:"A Lifetime of Betrayal: How Sebastian Betrayed the Nike Family After Getting Everything""Ruthless Backstabber Takes Nike Family Victim: Inside Sebastian's Plot to Destroy His Sponsors."The narrative skillfully blended fact and fiction, with just enough truth to support the story and just enough falsehoods to damage Sebastian's reputation. Sebastian was portrayed in the articles as the epitome of an ungrateful person: he was adopted by the Nike family when he had nothing at all, including connections or money, and he had used their resources to become powerful before betraying them when it was convenient for him. The story gained momentum with the claims of financial mismanagement and conspiracy agai
