I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 176 - Standing Up For Friends!
For a moment that seemed to linger on more than usual, it felt like Joseph might want to continue with the confrontation, but something in the way Justin held his stare on him made him reconsider. But before he could accept that he lost, he tried one more trick.“Do you even know what you are talking about? How dare you threaten to lock down this place and ban me from ever coming here?” He asked.“You would only have to wait to find out if you do not let go of my friend this minute.” Justin said with a calm that seems vicious.With a grunt of frustration, Joseph finally released his grip in Robert, shoving him away.“This is not over.” Joseph said before turning to the staff. “I want my items packed.” The boutique, eager to quickly diffuse the situation were happy one of the men had backed down, and they quickly went to gather Joseph’s selections and began packing them with utmost care. Joseph still stood there, looking at Justin. As both men stared at each other in defiance, Joseph
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 177 - Preparation For The Meeting!
Joseph Breaker arrived at his company in his convoy, he actually went there as he left the boutique, his mind still reeling from the encounter at the boutique. He walked briskly as he alight from the car, through the mosaic floored lobby. As usual, his presence commanded attention as his employees stood up to greet and bow down to him. They made way for him as he walked, sensing the urgency with which he carried his steps, walking towards the executive suite.The Company’s Vice President. Mr. Carlson, was waiting for him outside his office. He bowed slightly before him as Joseph got closer to him. Joseph acknowledged with a nod as he open the door to his office and went in, followed closely by Carlson.“What is it now Carlson?” Joseph snapped, barely breaking his stride.“It is about the foreign executive from the Drogonuv Corporation Headquarters. He has been making some very tough inquiries and we believe he is here to discuss some critical issues that might affect our operations.”
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 178 - Shock And Unprepared!
Few hours later after leaving the boutique, Justin and his friends arrived at the headquarters of the rival company. The building was beautiful, with glass walls that reflected the city’s skyline and a grand entrance that exudes power and prestige. Justin felt this drive in him as he stepped out their car and walked through the revolving doors into the spacious lobby.His assistant, Mark, approached the reception desk and spoke briefly with the receptionist. A few moments later, they were being escorted through a series of hallways, the decor on the building becoming increasingly visible as they got to the heart of the company, it exudes wealth. Finally, they came to a stop in front of a pair of polished wooden doors.“Mr. Breaker is waiting for you in the boardroom.” the receptionist said, opening the doors.As they all stepped inside, Justin’s eyes quickly scanned the room. The boardroom was filled with senior executives of the company, all seated around a massive, polished table.
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 179 - Taking Solid Steps!
“By taking solid steps.” Justin replied. “We could start with a joint task force which would be assigned with the duties of investigating the leaks from both companies. They can work together with representatives from both companies in order to uncover the truth and implement action that could safeguard our interests.” Joseph looked at Justin as he said that. The meeting was progressing well but he could not just forget what happened at the boutique earlier with Justin. The fact that someone who stood up to him few hours ago was the same person he was answering to now as regards matters that have to do with the future of his company was unsettling to say the least. He did not want to accept that this person could actually be the real representative from Drogonuv Corporation Headquarters sent to address some issues with the branch, which now had to do with him as the CEO of one of the foremost rival companies of the Drogonuv Corporation in the country. Their operations were mostly co
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 180 - Clear Communication Channel!
Justin looked at Joseph as he continued talking, feeling satisfied. He did not know he would meet Joseph again, especially not in this present circumstance and while he was visibly surprised to see and understand he was the CEO he was meeting up with, he was happy to be discussing with him once again, clearly in a position that seems to be above him. He was happy he did not cower back at the boutique, he stood up to him for trying to bully Robert and he was happy he did, if not, he would not know how this meeting may have turned out. Probably more of Joseph's bullying as people like him always like to assert dominance and control. They are generally arrogant. As they continued their discussion, Justin made mention of the corporate espionage issue, once again, his confidence and the expertise with which he presented it commanding attention. He still did not know Joseph was trying to intimidate him with the questions he asked as he was able to answer him rather confidently. All he just
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 181 - Corporate Espionage!
As the meeting between Justin and Joseph came to end, there was tension in the air. It had been a showdown of wit and subtle power play, each man unwilling to back down. Justin was able to maintain his composure all through the period the meeting lasted, despite the CEO’s attempt to belittle him. Joseph Breaker, leaning back in his chair with an air of renewed authority, faced and addressed Justin one last time before the meeting drew to an end, trying his luck once again to see if he could intimidate him. “You know.” He began, his tone was filled with condescension towards him, “It is quite amusing to see a mere executive from the Drogonuv Corporation Headquarters trying to challenge someone of my status. I know Nelson Drogonuv personally, and If you do not start behaving yourself, I will make sure you lose your job. You are way in over your head.”Justin narrowed his eyes and he met Joseph’s gaze with a firm resolve. “I dare you to try.” Justin replied to him. “You might think no o
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 182 - Prepare A Counteroffensive!
Back in his office after the meeting has ended, Joseph Breaker, the CEO of the rival company, watched Justin and his friends leave the building from the security cameras in his office with a mix of frustration and unhappiness. The encounter at the boutique had really left a sour taste in his mouth, and he was determined to use any available opportunity to undermine Justin’s position.Once they had left, Joseph called on his senior executives and key advisors for an impromptu meeting. His large office was quickly filled up with the senior executives seated around his large desk as they had curious glances on.“Alright.” Joseph started to address them as they were all seated, his voice was low but intense. “We need to deal with the Drogonuv executive that just left now and his demands. He is making very serious allegations about corporate espionage , and we can not afford to let this slide. If he is not careful, which I think he won’t be, he could cause very serious damage to the reputa
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 183 - Tucsons Need Help!
As Justin, his assistant, Mark and Robert made their way through the busy streets towards the company’s building, each of their minds were preoccupied with personal thoughts about the ongoing investigation and what they would do in ensuring it goes smoothly. The weight of the recent confrontation with Joseph Breaker is still fresh in their minds, especially after getting his company’s response a day later. Justin, however, was determined to stay focused as he made his plan. He would not let anything stop him.As he continued to think, his thoughts were distracted as his phone rang, cutting through the hum of conversation in the taxi. He looked at the screen and saw it was Lilly’s mother calling him. He was slightly surprised and his face turned into a frown as he answered the call, not sure of why she was calling and what to expect from her.“Hello?” He said with a steady voice.“Mr. Justin, hello, it is Lilly’s mother.” Her anxious voice came through on the other end. “I hope I am no

Chapter 557: The Price of Loyalty
The days following his confrontation with Mark felt like an endless storm to Justin. The stench of betrayal hung over him like a cloud, darker and heavier than any he had ever known. It was not just Mark's actions that wounded him; it was the realization that even those he trusted most were capable of turning against him. His empire, his family, the people he had built everything for, none of them were safe.In the quieter times when Justin wasn't surrounded by the unrelenting demands of his empire, the loneliness of the entire thing settled on him,In the silence of his penthouse, the cold glass walls offer no comfort. He knew this day would come. But it's still painful. The idea that someone he trusted, people who have stood by him for many years, can decide to betray him.It cuts deeper than any opponent that he had ever faced. But he didn't have the leisure to brood over it. The fight with Ethan was far from over, and Mark was just one casualty in this war. The loss of loyalty
Chapter 556: Reckoning
The room was silent when Justin re-entered. His expression was cold and disbelieving. There was no need for an explanation to the group still seated around the table for what had happened. The tension hung in the air. Every person in the room knew, it seemed, instinctively that a bomb had just gone off.And the consequences will cause serious damage. Mark sat at the head of the table. His fingers tapped the polished wood nervously. His usual confident demeanor was gone. It was replaced by a feeling of discomfort radiating from him. Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper. Silently, Justin walked toward the tabletop; his footsteps rang harsh in the otherwise silent room. Mark's eyes flicked up, catching everything else for the briefest instant before quickly looking down.“Everyone out,” Justin said, his voice harsh, commanding. There was no space for dissent.The team, sensing the heaviness of the moment,
Chapter 555: The Enemy Within
Justin sat in his office, staring at the files Mark had delivered earlier. The quiet hum of the city outside his window was a stark contrast to the storm raging inside him. A leak found in his own company—what he thought was kept safe—had just turned into a full-blown leak. People close to him are betraying him. And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most. He had single-handedly built this company as anything by steel-back-end deals, through a relentless strategy, and with the will to establish iron-clad grounds for its existence. And now, someone within his entire circle began tearing it all apart and selling to the highest bidder. A slap against the face, and Justin wasn't certain how to take it. He instantly picked the phone, dialing Mark's number. It rang once and twice, and right then came Mark's voice.“Justin?”“Where are we with the leak?” Justin’s voice was clipped, every word laced with an
Chapter 554: The Forgotten Foe
Upon waking, Justin felt gnawing uneasiness. He had won relatively hard and long, but as he walked in the office that morning, something was not right; the air felt heavy, the tension intense and indiscernible. Somehow, Justin couldn't seem to shake an inner feeling that someone was still perhaps watching, waiting for just the right moment to make his move.“Good morning, Mr. Drogonuv,” Mark’s voice broke through the silence as Justin walked into his office. The assistant’s usual upbeat tone was tinged with something more serious. “We need to talk.”Justin raised his eyebrows but waved his hand for Mark to continue. "what happened?" Mark's expression was tense, and Justin immediately felt a sense of urgency in the room.“It’s about the company’s recent movements. "I notice a few discrepancies in our financial reports. At first, I thought it was simply an oversight, but I now doubt it," Justin's heartbeat sped up. “What kind of irregularities?”“A few transactions that don’t add up.

As the remnants of Ethan's empire collapsed, Justin is forced to face the reality that his tireless victories have come at a terrible cost.The meeting room is quiet. It was the silence that came only after a fight. Board members who were once concerned about Justin's methods, Now they looked at him with a different respect. They understood the stakes, the price paid for survival in this ruthless world.But for Justin, respect is not as important as the weight of his decision. He sat at the head of the table, looking around at the face he was leaning on. Mark stood on the side. His normally confident demeanor was now marked with a delicate caution. Ava sat across from him. Her eyes narrowed as she examined the information in front of her. “Ethan's downfall has left a void in the market,” Justin said in a low but firm tone,
Chapter 552: The Final Blow
The days that followed the media explosion were chaotic. Ethan’s empire, once a towering structure of influence and wealth, was now a crumbling shell. He had endured the tumult of the tragedy caused by the scandal of Samuel Dayton, more than anything that Justin had ever expected. It had spread so far and caused investors to back out. But Justin was well aware that it was not yet over. He was indeed cornered, but that did not mean he was out of the game.One evening, Justin sat in his office, the dim light from his desk lamp lighting up long shadows on the wall. His thoughts are sharp and organized. With no room for complacency at this moment. It is time to end it all. Ethan has been a thorn in his flesh for far too long. And Justin knows the only way to truly destroy him is to take away everything that matters to him.As he searched through the documents on the table Mark walked in with a solemn expression. “we have a situation. Ethan is trying to play his last card. Word is that
Chapter 551: The Unseen Hand
The days that followed Justin’s decisive actions were filled with calculated moves and whispered strategy. Every step he took was a deliberate play in a game where only one could win. Ethan, however, wasn’t just a rival; he was a shadow, a figure always lurking, always ready to strike when least expected. But Justin had learned how to deal with shadows. And this time, he wasn’t afraid of them.Glassy, chilly and eerie, stillness filled the morning air. Just as Justin finished his very first cup of coffee, his phone bleeped with an alert from Ava. His fingers hovered over the screen as the text message loaded:"We’ve got a problem. One of Ethan’s shell companies just made a huge transfer—directly into the account of a prominent politician."A chill ran through Justin’s veins. The realization struck him like a fist to the gut. This wasn’t just a financial maneuver; this was a move that could bring everything crashing down. Ethan had gone from playing the corporate game to playing polit
Chapter 550: The Counterattack Begins
The morning after the war had been declared, Justin was already on the offensive. He knew it wasn’t going to be easy—Ethan wouldn’t sit back and let him take control without retaliating. But Justin had learned long ago that the best defense was a good offense. And if Ethan thought he could break him, he was gravely mistaken.The day started with a call from Ava. She was his eyes and ears in the media world, and if there was anyone who could keep the pressure on Ethan, it was her."Everything’s set," Ava said, her voice crisp and focused. "We’ve got the story ready to drop. I’ve coordinated with the biggest outlets. By this afternoon, Ethan’s going to be on the defensive."Justin reclined, swaying to the beat, tapping his fingers back and forth on his desk."Make sure we control the narrative. We can’t afford any loose ends. I want Ethan’s involvement in every shady deal and backdoor negotiation to be on full display.""Understood. I’ll make sure his reputation takes the hit it deserve
Chapter 549: The Cold War Escalates
The next day, Justin awoke sooner than his usual time, as his mind was already treading the mental paths of what had transpired. Lilly's disloyalty hurt him, but quickly the pain began to replace itself by a cold resolve. He was this way because he was relentless- because he flatly refused to bow down. And that wouldn’t change now.He walked into his office, his haven where he had made multitudes of decisions concerning the fate of his empire. The walls were not comforting at all today; they were lined with dark mahogany, closing in on him. There was a scent of coffee-heavenly, fresh, and inviting, but equally intent on leaving him in the throes of angers light and storm inside his chest. Mark stood by the window, his frame silhouetted against the golden light of these early hours. Definitely, he has been with Justin for years, unwavering in his loyalty. But today, even Mark could sense the shift in the atmosphere. The tension was thick, heavy. Justin hadn’t said much since his co
