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
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
After the call, Nelson realized the situation was quite serious from what he thought it was. He had been angry initially that what ever Justin was involved in was causing the name of the company to be dragged unnecessarily online and in the media. Especially in a country where it has just a branch, even though the scale of their operations there is quite huge. He had established that branch in Torovia when he was in his fifties. Torovia is the name of the country where Justin had been all this while.He had been thinking about Justin said and he wondered who could have been so powerful to involve his company’s branch in a conspiracy to the extent of trying to bring it down because Justin was working to expose them. He did not want further damage to his company.That was why he pledged his support for his son in going against them. His son is young but full of energy. He is old but have years of experience and also resources. By the way, he could not just sit idle and watch someone
As Justin and his father prepare to materialize their plan, they were apprehensive. Justin had told Nelson about how he believes Viktor Langston might be the one behind the conspiracy. He is a powerful business man and if their plan would work out, it has to be planned meticulously.In Torovia, Justin and his allies which consists of his assistant, Mark, Robert and Jolce and some other contacts that work behind the scene, have gathered substantial Intel on the mastermind’s operation base, highlighting the key things that makes his operations feasible. With his father’s support now, he started his strikes at these important key factors.He and his team got to work. Their plan was simple. Infiltrate the power structure of the mastermind like his known warehouses, financial accounts and how his money moves and his communications. From the safe house, he worked hand in hand with some others else where as he monitored the operation through computer screens showing the real time feeds. As h
As Justin and his team waited for any form of reprisal attack from the mastermind as a response to what they did to him, he responded but not in the way they had envisaged. He had targeted Nelson Drogonuv at the head quarters. He had launched a series of Cyber attacks on their systems. He had meant to cripple them from within. He had been fighting against the branch all this while but when the head quarters stepped in via the legal moves against him, he decided to retaliate with a ruthless move.Nelson was at home when he first got the news that something was wrong with their systems and it appears it may have been hacked. And the news spread like wildfire. Their financial data was being edited to show that the company is unstable. The corporation’s internal communication channels have been breached.He had immediately called Justin to notify him of the problem. Justin, although surprised the mastermind had taken the fight to the Head quarters, was quick to respond. He monitored the s
The fight between Justin and the mastermind had been going for a month now. The mastermind, who Justin believes to be Viktor Langston had tried a lot of times to bring him down but Justin always find a way to bounce back up.After some days of gathering evidence from meticulous investigation using all available resources, Justin was able to come across an evidence that shifted things to his favor. This evidence could be used to bring Langston to his knees. The evidence was in an encrypted file which has very advanced digital protection. It was something that came by via hours of tracking digital trails, which led them to a very secured server.When his team located the file and opened it, the contents were not entirely easy to read. His team had to decrypt it in order to be able to read the contents. When they were finally done with the decryption, the information that was contained in the file was a lot and of benefit to Justin in his cause.When it was forwarded to him, his mind race
