The markets trembled as chaos erupted once again. News of a sudden weakening in Zhao Enterprises’ stocks flooded the financial world. Whispers of insider trading, market manipulation, and sabotage began to spread. Amara, seated in the boardroom with a tense team of advisors, slammed a folder onto the table.“This isn’t just a coincidence,” she said sharply, her gaze piercing. “Yue’s fingerprints are all over this.”Leo leaned against the table, his posture calm but his expression razor-sharp. “Of course, it’s Yue. He’s desperate, and desperation breeds recklessness. This attack isn’t just on the business; it’s on everything we’ve built.”Amara turned to him, worry clouding her features. “And if it works?”Leo’s smirk was faint but dangerous. “It won’t.”Yue sat in the dimly lit room of a remote estate, surrounded by a handful of loyal allies and shadowy figures from rival factions. The years had hardened him, but his eyes burned with the same ambition and resentment that had always de

The days after the latest attack had been relentless. Every meeting, every strategy session, felt like walking on a tightrope, suspended above a storm. Leo had long been playing the part of the silent mastermind, but the cracks were beginning to show. Someone—somewhere—had managed to worm their way into the core of Zhao Enterprises, manipulating events with a calm, calculated precision. Leo, however, was not one to be caught off guard for long.He sat alone in his office, surrounded by digital maps and documents, his eyes scanning a network of names, dates, and connections. It was in the smallest detail that Leo found his answer. A single name Nathaniel Crane emerged from the data like a specter, and suddenly, everything made sense.Nathaniel Crane was a name Leo knew well, though it had been years since they’d crossed paths. A ruthless business tycoon, Nathaniel had earned a reputation for crushing his enemies in the corporate world, but there was more to him than that. His connectio

The news of Nathaniel’s cyber-attack spread like wildfire. It was a calculated move..a move designed to destabilize everything Leo had worked so hard to build. But Leo wasn’t one to back down. Instead of retreating into a defensive position, Leo decided to strike back with force, building new alliances in the very places where the Zhao family’s empire had once stood strong.He began reaching out to former enemies of the Zhao family—men and women who had long been sidelined or oppressed by Elder Zhao’s tyrannical rule. These were individuals who knew the depths of the corruption within the Zhao family, but who had also been victims of its power. Leo offered them something they had never received from his predecessors: real power and an opportunity for redemption.In return for their loyalty and expertise, Leo placed these former adversaries in positions of leadership within his reformed enterprise. He wasn’t just rebuilding an empire; he was reshaping the very foundation of the busines

Leo leaned back in his chair, staring at the data in front of him. Every move Nathaniel had made against Zhao Enterprises had been timed too perfectly to be mere chance. The mole was real—and dangerously close.“We need to act,” Amara said her voice sharp. She stood beside him, her fists clenched. “If we let this go on any longer, Nathaniel will dismantle everything we’ve built.”Leo nodded. “I’ve already started. The mole thinks they’re untouchable, but they’ll slip up. When they do, I’ll be ready.”Leo quietly set a trap, planting false data on an upcoming deal with a high-profile investor. The information was designed to be tempting—something that would inevitably make its way to Nathaniel if the spy took the bait. Days passed in tense anticipation, and then it happened. The investor, alarmed by a sudden leak of sensitive details, backed out.With the source of the leak traced back to Zhao Enterprises, Leo and Amara confronted the senior executive responsible: Dominic Lang.Dominic

The air in the room felt electric as Victoria Han, the shadow behind Nathaniel’s machinations, fully revealed herself. Her piercing eyes bore into Leo, her lips curving into a small, knowing smile.“It’s been a while, Leo,” she said, her tone deceptively warm.Leo’s composure had returned, but Amara could see the flicker of tension in his gaze. He didn’t just know Victoria—he once trusted her.“What’s your endgame, Victoria?” Leo asked evenly. “Nathaniel isn’t your style. You’ve always preferred to pull strings from behind the curtain.”Nathaniel bristled at the remark, but Victoria raised a hand to silence him. “Nathaniel is a means to an end. You should know that better than anyone.”Amara’s mind raced as she absorbed the new dynamic. If Victoria had once been Leo’s mentor, her betrayal had to run deep. But why had she resurfaced now?As Victoria and Nathaniel left the meeting with their veiled threats hanging in the air, Amara turned to Leo. “You didn’t tell me about her. Who is sh
