But Justin himself knew that people like Victor Kyros do not just go down like that. Yes, he had some victory over him as regards weakening his business but that was just a part of it. It was not everything he owns. He does not expect him to put all his eggs in one basket. Therefore, if Kyros would plan a retaliatory attack, he had better be prepared for it. But he could not do it on his own, regardless of his vast resources. Kyros had a network of solid political connections. Justin needed to have an ally with similar powers if he would be able to go to war with Kyros and win. He also needed someone with both insight and influence in the underworld.It was then he remembered Victor Hale, a formidable business mogul who also have a pound of flesh to collect from Victor Kyros. Hale is known for his relentless pursuit of anyone who dares to cross him and luckily for Justin, they both share a common adversary in form of Kyros. The history of Kyros and Hale is a bit complicated but Justin
Victor listened to Justin intently, his expression was still unreadable but he was clearly getting intrigued. When Justin was done explaining, Victor sat upright and responded. “Isolating him from his network sound simple in theory but the guy is not just some careless bloke. He does not leave gaps without having a contingency plan. If we are going to do this, we will need to be comprehensive. I want access to your information on him and I mean it. No holding back.”Justin agreed immediately because he understood that transparency would be important if they were going to have any real progress. “Okay fine” He said. “But I want the same from you too. I know you have connections that can help us get to places my resources can not. We need to stay ahead of him always.”Both of them spent the next hour talking about the details of Justin's plan. Victor gave his own insights into Kyros's financial dealings, highlighting a corrupt financier who do launder money for Kyros's operations and do
As Justin's alliance with Victor got deeper and stronger, the combination of their efforts started having a devastating toll on Kyros's underworld dealings. Each of the onslaught and well timed leaks had made his network weak, spreading confusion and some fear among his associates. His power was gradually dwindling. As this was happening, there was Meeky who did not want to accept that he had been defeated by Justin. He still believed he could turn things around. He decided to use the last of his resources by trying to persuade the rest of his loyal friends in a bid to turn the tables on Justin.Information like that could not pass Justin by as his contacts had gotten wind of it and sent him a report that Meeky was mobilizing support again to get back at him. Justin only sighed and thought why Meeky would not just back down. The rest of his family are not even in the picture anymore. Why was he still adamant? Did he not see that he already lost? But he was not fazed. Obviously, Meeky
As they continued to plan for a counter strike or possibly, make the first move in a bid to throw Meeky off guard, Justin's mind raced through many different possible scenarios. They discussed the matter from various perspectives. The perspectives includes targeting Meeky's remaining financial assets, no matter how small, spreading doubts among his allies, and using public opinion to isolate him more. Every of their moves was being analyzed to maximize pressure while also minimizing the risks involved.After concluding on what to do and they were about to wrap up the meeting, Mark got a call on his phone. He answered it and listened to it intently for a few moments before his expression changed. He then relayed the message to Justin after he hung up the call.“Boss, our contacts just reported that Meeky is making some funny moves.” He said with a tense voice. “He has been reaching out to people willing to do things outside legal boundaries. It seems he is trying to do this beyond just
Although Justin believed in his strength and that of his alliance with Victor Hale, there was this tension he could not get out of his mind days after he formulated a plan with Victor to take down Meeky's new faction. He had been thinking, going over his plan carefully in his mind again, planning each step with the precision of a chess master. He had already destroyed the alliance of Kyros and Meeky but now that it seems Meeky does not want to back down, he needed something that would make him forget the idea of ever wanting to fight him again.He was in his office when his new Ally, Victor Hale, entered one afternoon, he was holding a file. Justin had given him access due to his alliance with him. He had a triumphant look on as he came in. He handed the file to Justin as his excitement was evident. “We have it Justin.” Victor said with a low voice but it was filled with satisfaction. “We have what we finally need.”Justin was curious, he opened the file and looked at the contents. In
Jolce moved closer to Justin and placed a hand on his shoulder to steady and reassure him. “I trust you babe. If this is the step we need to take, then we will face whatever comes after.”Victor, especially liked that Jolce was in with them on this. He felt motivated as he and Justin decided to strategize the plan they have before, which is to release the evidence De Luca gave him. They planned to expose Kyros's operations publicly like Justin had done to him before, while simultaneously working with law enforcement agents to make sure arrests are made quickly and effectively. Each part of the plan was made such that the chances of Kyros retaliating is minimized.Two days after, Justin executed the plan. The evidence went live on several high profile media houses, along with the detailed reports, documents, and recordings that highlighted Kyros's illegal operations. As usual, some part of the public were shocked, while some were not, clearly used to the fact that most rich people are
In order to make sure that Kyros is entirely defeated, Justin studied the profile of his remaining operations. It is no longer fresh news that that Kyros Victor had been disgraced and Justin saw it as an opportunity to dig deeper. He want to target Kyros's remaining resources and allies but this time around, he would not do it with brute force. Instead, he intends to dismantle them one by one through calculated moves that would shake their operations from within.To make this happen, Justin had to call on his key strategist lately, in the person of Victor Hale, his ally to talk about what he planned to do. When they met, Justin started telling him about what he has in mind. “I am planning to dismantle whatever that is left of Kyros's empire in a way that they will not see it coming. No grand onslaught, just a subtle one, the one that has constant pressure until every thing they have is in ruins.”Victor leaned forward as he nodded in agreement with what Justin had said. “I have been a
Jolce was a coffee shop with Justin relaxing when she looked at him and said admiringly. “I like how you are leaving nothing to chance.” She had been supporting Justin in his moves and as always, she is mesmerized at the precision with which he executes each step.Justin looked at and said. “Babe, you know I can not afford to. If kyros or Meeky still has even just one avenue of support, I am sure they will use it. And I am only trying to make sure they do not have one.”Jolce nodded in agreement. She smiled at him again as she continues to sip her coffee.As the days went by, Justin's discreet sabotage gained more momentum. Kyros's allies started getting increasingly paranoid as they were not sure of where the attacks were coming from or how to stop it. Internal chaos rose up as employees turned on one another, each one blaming the other for the failures. Every department was disrupted, their morale was sinking as their superiors failed to contain the result ot the fall out.Seeing th
