After Justin left the Renox Group Building and Langston made calls for support, which he was rejected, he decided to try one last trick to see if he can save his skin. Justin had barely settled down in his car when as assistant ran to him that Langston would like to see him.Slightly surprised, he followed the assistant back to the office. Once they were in, the assistant turned to leave. Justin stood, looking at Langston as he also looked back at him with a defeated expression. He was still seated on his big chair. He motioned to Justin to have a seat. Justin obliged him.“Justin” He started talking, trying to sound civil as much as possible. “I see that you have truly won but before you make any further moves, I want you to hear me out.”Justin looked at him more as he spoke. He was calm but firm as he replied. “I am all ears Langston but before you say anything, understand that I am not negotiating with you. You can not make demands as you are right now.”“It is not a demand. It is

After defeating Langston and subjugating him, Justin’s Problems were far from over. He overcame one for sure but there was also the pressing need to rebuild all that have been lost during the course of the struggle for supremacy between him and Langston. He need to restore Drogonuv Corporation back to its former allure and position it for better opportunities in the future. His attention is now focused on reforms that will be implemented to make this happen and also protect their interest against possible future threats.To make this happen, he started arranging some strategic meetings with the board members in the company to access the damage and discuss the plan for the reforms. In one of the meetings, Justin sat at the head of the table as he address those gathered around him. “Well, I am sure you are all aware of what we have been through in the past few weeks and right now, things have shifted finally back to our favour and we need to stabilize the company and restore its former
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 275: The New Beginning.
During the reforms at the company which was painstakingly carried out to make sure it is effective, another person that was also undergoing some form of transformation was Justin’s classmate, Robert Unnuf. Over the past few months he had spent with Justin, he had moved from a timid and self doubting man to a very confident person. His experiences with Justin had changed his outlook on life and have inspired him to start thinking for himself and how he should create a name for himself.He had reflected on his life so far especially since he reconnected with Justin and how he had changed due to the intervention of his friend. He had been blessed with so many lessons from Justin as he witnessed first hand how he deals with issues of corruption. It left an indelible mark on him. He had decided to take a bold step with his life, he would start a business of his own.He did not want to just start a business for financial benefit, he wanted to be able to be impact in his own way and fight co
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 276: The Moment of Reflection.
In the days that followed after Robert had left to start his business, Justin was in his office at the company, seated and calm as he thought about every thing that have happened so far. He had restored calm and normalcy to the company after the intense power struggle with Langston. It was so successful that his friend was inspired to go start a thing for himself. He felt good about every thing. He was still thinking when Jolce came into his office.He looked up as she came in and she walked closer to him. She looked at him lovingly as she takes a seat beside the big desk in the office. “How are you baby? You seems preoccupied with your thoughts. Do you want to share?”Justin took a deep breath before answering. He leaned forward on the big desk. “It is incredible how far we have come. What we have been through , the threats we have survived and most importantly, our victory over everything. It feels surreal.”Jolce smiled and nodded as she also thought about what they had been throu

After awhile that Robert had left to start his own business and everything had returned to normalcy in the Company, Justin decided to stay a little while to oversee things before leaving back for the states. He could have left earlier and put Robert in charge but it also feels good to see that his friend is taking steps to better his life. With that being settled, he settled into the role of the CEO of the company properly and as expected, started getting invitations to high class events. He decided to honor one of the numerous invites and attend it. When he got to the venue, he keeps a low profile as he causally blended with the crowd, taking notes of the faces, hoping to see anyone familiar.Compared to the flashy suits around him, Justin was dressed rather modestly. He held a drink in his hand, sipping it as he looked around. This is a gathering of the city’s elites and he could glean some information about other people from occasions like this. His influence had earned him the inv

Justin was still engaged in the conversation with the tall businessman, Mr. Hawke, who seems to be boasting about what he had done and achieved.He had shared more than he should have ideally shared in a conversation with someone he had just met. Justin could not tell if it was the confidence that is accustomed to being successful or the alcohol that made him talk that much. He had let his guard down. As Justin continued to ask question, Hawke provided answers to them in a manner that seems like bragging.“You see, in this city, you might own assets and businesses but without the right power, that is nothing. With a single phone call, I have made several companies go out of business. That what you call a real power.”Justin nodded but he was not actually intrigued by his show of arrogance, it was the mention of power that interested him.“Seems you do have a good network of people in high places.” Justin said. “It must be really hard being your competitor.”Hawke had a smirk on his f

As Justin mingled with the crowd, he found a spot and stood there. He had played along with Hawke and didn’t try to reveal his identity as the person he was referring to earlier as the power that controls all in the city. He chuckled at the thought that Hawke was hoping to meet the mysterious man who wields a lot of control and wants to be in his good will, the same person who was him.He wondered if the evening could get any stranger. He had only came here out of politeness and did not expect to run into someone who wishes to meet him and be in his good books, not knowing he had already met him but had no idea. From the corner where he stood, he thought more about him. He assessed the kind of man Hawke could be. It is obvious that his business runs on the suffering of others. He usually manipulate events that would lead to the folding up of smaller companies in the same line of business as his and making the market focus on his products alone.Hawke was still mingling with the othe
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 280: The Revelation
Due to the fact that Justin and Hawke were on a deal that would soon be closed, he do invite Justin out for drinks at bars where, according to him, they could talk leisurely about business. Justin as usual accepted the invites remaining lowkey at all times.During those meetings, Justin always make sure he takes the back seat giving Hawke the room to showcase himself as he boasts. He was always on about how his influence would help them make the business boom once they are able to close the deal.At one of the outings at a bar, they were seated around a table when another man approached their table. He looked nervous and small in stature compared to him and the taller Hawke. The man started speaking to Hawke in a low voice, almost trembling. “Mr.Hawke, please there should be something we can do about the deal. It is not in any way favourable to me at all.” Justin realized immediately that he was one of those affected by Hawke’s predatory style of business.Hawke looked up to see th

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.
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
