Nelson Drogonuv was in his home office going over files Martin had dropped off earlier. They were reports of his keeping tabs on Justin since Nelson gave him the task. His network has been on the task ever since then and have been able to gather some information. He has once again proven to be ever resourceful. This was the reason Nelson tasked him with the job initially.He had been concerned with Justin and how he seems to taking care of the business of the company's branch. He had heard and seen different reports on the news but as a seasoned businessman and an elder, he knows he could not rely on the media to get his facts. He did not want to ask Justin initially so as not to make him feel like he was not doing a good job running the company but he later did, out of parental love and concern. But he still had Martin continue with the task just to be double sure of what is actually going on.Leaning back on the leather chair, he frowned as he go through the reports. He could see th
Robert had already promised Justin that he would help out in any way he can. It would be dangerous but he was going to do it. The meeting he and Justin had attended earlier, they got some Intel about a meeting where some of the big people in the business world would hold another meeting. The meeting was being held in a remote location, in a mansion on the outskirts of the city, a few distance from the metropolitan area. It was not sure if Viktor Langston would be in attendance but anyone could be there and Robert had managed to get an invitation. As he approached the entrance of the mansion which was heavily guarded, his heart pounded heavily and he tried to keep himself in check.The guards watched him closely as he got near and presented his ID. The guards scanned it with their eyes and allowed him to enter. He breathed out in relief as he thought he would be denied access. He then walk into the mansion.The inside was beautiful as expected of a mansion. Everything that was used t
What Robert had found out was some information regarding how some people were planning to make some moves on how get a stronghold in the Market but he did not exactly know what their plans were. He had told Justin about it. It felt like the usual business talks but given the recent showdown, he took it serious,while still hoping it would not be any action planned against his company but he was wrong.He just got into his office few days after Robert told him the latest Intel when he got a call. Then more calls. They were about assets of the company being frozen and his employees being physically attacked.The first call was from the finance department. The head accountant was calling to report that some of the company’s off shore accounts had been frozen. This accounts had millions of dollars in it and it’s now inaccessible. As he was about to think of what to say, his office telephone rang and he had to receive it. The call was from one of his security. “Hello sir, we have got a si
Before Justin left the office that day, he had tried to contact one of his allies. A financial executive in a big financial institution in the city who has been helping him with his plan all along. He was the one handling the tracking of the discrete financial transactions. He had been calling day but got no response. Being a key factor towards the success of his plan, he sent Mark to check him out and got the worst news of the day. He had been found dead earlier in the day under unknown circumstances. He was so shocked. This can’t be a coincidence. It was obvious this is the work of the unknown group’s mastermind.Whoever that’s doing this is trying to weaken him and make him surrender. In as much as he was prepared to fight back, he began to get a bit uneasy. If a key ally could be murdered, there was no assurance he or any of those close to him were safe.“Sir, we have to leave now.” Mark was trying to urge Justin as he stood in his office. “You need to be somewhere safe in the mea
It’s been three days since they got to the safe house and Jolce had stepped out in the night under the cover of darkness. She was going to meet up with a contact of hers in the city whom she had reached out to earlier.She carefully approached the meeting spot, which was a small cafe in the city. It was sparsely populated when she got there. She took a seat by the corner and looked around the room. She saw a man sitting alone at a table. Their eyes met as they exchanged looks. He walked to her table and took a seat.“Are you Jolce?” he asked in a low voice as he sat down.“Yes. You said you had some Intel for me.” She replied in hushed tones too.The man leaned in closer, nodding. “I don’t have all the details but something big is about to happen.”Jolce was already scared. The man was now looking around. He seems nervous “look, I am sure they are watching me. You need to leave here now.”Before Jolce could even say anything, two men in suits came into the cafe. They looked like they
Justin was in a big room, seated on a chair, at the head of a table. He was looking at the faces of the people seated around the table with him. They were also looking at him. All of them had a serious expression on their faces. Justin finally spoke up. “Listen up folks. We have been hit so hard lately and lost some good people in the process. But we can not back down. We know that is not an option. What do you suggest we do?”The room was silent. Everyone felt the weight of the words as they looked on. Truly, they have lost people so far. A recent assassination was also made on Jolce’s life and she escaped just by an hair’s breath. Mark then spoke after a long moment.“Why don’t we go after Viktor Langston directly? I have a strong feeling he could be the mastermind. Waiting for sufficient evidence when the ones available points directly to him seems like a waste of time.”Everyone looked at him. “Are you sure about this Mark?” Robert said. “We are talking about a powerful man her
As Justin and his friends debated about how to counter-strike Viktor Langston, who they believe to be the mastermind, the mastermind was already making moves, which puts him steps ahead of them.His plan was simple. He would use his networks in the media to disrepute Justin publicly.With that in mind, he set his plan into motion.He coordinated false news and had all the major news outlets in the City broadcast it and also have it on the popular social media platforms.The narrative was that Justin was a corrupt executive who overthrew the CEO of Drogonuv Corporation branch and made himself Lord, making it out to be someone out of control and order.The first TV station that broadcast the news made it very sensational that it was so difficult to ignore by viewers.A news anchor in the station was the one presenting. On the screen, the headline that was displayed was : "An Executive's Power Play Exposed!" The report was attached with videos that were obviously edited showing Justin i
The media scandal seems to be growing astronomically and Justin’s reputation was being smeared the more. People online were calling for the company to fire him. An executive does not have the right to act like he is above every one else in the company, they wrote. If only they knew the person they were writing about is the owner of the whole corporation and not just an executive from the headquarters. Justin understand that to turn this around, he needed to also respond with the same magnitude with which the mastermind had launched an attack on him.He formulated a plan with Mark. This was a media war and he was quite good at it. With the plan in motion, he began a counter campaign to salvage what is left of the perception of his image in the public eye. His objective is to expose the mastermind dark side to the public and this time around, he would shake grounds as he intends to hint that it is Viktor Langston that have been behind the whole false allegations.He first compiled some
