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.

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.

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
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 250: The Public Assault.
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
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 251: The Counter Campaign.
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
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 252: The Confrontation.
The media attention on Drogonuv Corporation has reached a point that Nelson Drogonuv himself got to know about it. People still thought he controls the business and if a branch of it was having issues in another country, the smoke would definitely get to the higher ups.But the company was now in Justin's hand. While he trusts his son’s Judgement, he was not liking the recent activities with the branch. He had spoken to him a lot of times about it and now, he needed to firmly let him know he has been overboard with it.He placed a call through to Justin. When Justin answered it, he was greeted with nelson’s stern face. It was a video call. When Justin saw his father's serious expression, he understand something is up and he seems to understand why.“Justin” His father started talking with authority. “I have had enough of this madness. The scandal you are involved in is making us have a bad image. I want you to put a stop to this and back down.”Justin was expressionless. He had been w

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

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.
Chapter 553: A New Horizon
The dust has settled. But the war was not truly over. Ethan's fall from grace was swift and unyielding. But Justin knows the road ahead isn't without challenges. 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
