As the discussion progressed in the meeting, Justin started to see some parallels between this and his past experiences in the underworld. Negotiations, whether in a corporate boardroom or a back alley deal, all boils down to understanding leverage and motivations. Here, however, the stakes were quantified in million of Dollars and market share than loyalty and territory.By the time the meeting ended, the board had reached a consensus on how to proceed with the acquisition, although with some additional safeguards to address Mr. Hathaway's concerns. Nelson Drogonuv's ability to balance his assertiveness with diplomacy had been very important.When the meeting wrapped up and they left the conference room, Justin felt a newfound respect for his father. “That was incredible.” He said as he was unable to hide his admiration. His father chuckled. “It is just business son. But always remember, what you saw today is only one side of it. The real work begings after the deal is signed and cl

The offices of Drogonuv corporation were bustling with activities as the rhythmic him of productivity filled the air. At this point, Justin, considers himself a young apprentice in the family business, had just staryed his journey in the business world. While his father, Nelson Drogonuv, had assigned him a low level role, it was obvious to Justin that the opportunity to keep learning to be better were endless.One Sunny afternoon, he found himself so neck deep in studying some spreadsheets, trying to make sense of the quarterly reports. Though he had a sharp mind and a thirst for knowledge, the intricacies of the corporate finance were something so new to him. It was during this period of frustration that George Stratton, one of Drogonuv corporation's most respected executives, entered the room and spotted him.George, a very tall man with silver hair and an aura of quiet authority, was quite known in the company as a financial wizard. He had been very instrumental in guiding Drogonuv

One evening, George invited Justin over to the board room to observe a high stake meeting with external investors. The discussion would revolve around a potential joint venture in an emerging market.As the meeting started, Justin sat down quietly beside George as he watched him in action. He marveled at how he was able to address their concerns with confidence and deftly steered the conversation with the investors towards favorable terms. At one point, George turned to him.“Justin, what is your take on the market risk here?”He was caught off guard but in an eager bid to prove himself and contribute, Justin replied. “Well, the risk is significant, but if we are to structure the deal with performance based incentives, it will minimize our exposure while aligning their goals with ours.”The investors nodded thoughtfully at him when he said that, and Justin noticed a look of approval in George’s expression.Later on, after the meeting has ended and they were walking back to their offi

One lovely morning, the sun streamed through the tall windows of Drogonuv Corporation’s Headquarters, casting a golden glow across the marble floors. Justin stood outside the boardroom, the faint hum of conversations could be heard behind the closed doors, which heightened his anticipation. Something about today felt different, he was not joining those in the room to observe like he used to. He was going inside to speak.As the doors swung open rather loudly, Nelson Drogonuv, his father and the overall figurehead of the company, beckoned him to come inside. The room was filled with senior executives. Their gazes at him were sharp and calculating. His father’s expression, however, was unreadable.“This is your first independent assignment.” His father had told him earlier as he slid a sleek black folder across the table towards him. From the way he spoke, Justin could notice that he was expecting much from him.He opened the folder to reveal a detailed project outline for the launch o

At the same time, Justin was working closely with the marketing team, trying to revamp the campaign. He insisted on a focus group to test messaging, and the insights they gathered led to a striking new slogan which was, “Sustain Your Workspace, Sustain the planet.” the revised campaign laid emphasis on the product’s environmental benefits which resonated with the target audience.However, not everything went as planned. Midway through the project, the production team reported a defect in the prototypes. The chair’s recycled material was not exactly as durable as it was promised when delivered. When the team presented the issue to Justin, he did not panic.“Let me see it” He said as he examines the prototype.He quickly suggested a solution, which was to reinforce the design of the chair with a small percentage of non recycled material while being transparent about the adjustment in marketing. “It is not about being perfect,” He told them. “It is about being honest and improving as we

Lionel smirked as he leaned back in his chair. “Of course, Nelson. Although I must say, its very rare to see you on the defensive. Times must be really tough.”Justin observed the exchange quietly, taking mental notes. He had seen his father operate in a corporate setting before, but this was his first time witnessing something such as a high stake confrontation.The meeting escalated quickly into a verbal chess match. Lionel accused Drogonuv corporation of monopolistic practices, claiming that their aggressive acquisitions were stifling competition. Nelson tried to counter it with data, presenting a compelling case that highlighted the eggicyand innovation his company had brought to the industry.Justin was in awe of his father's composure. He had never raised his voice or allowed himself to be provoked. Rather, he countered Lionel's arguments piece by piece, using evidence and logic.At a point, Lionel tried to attack him personally. “I have heard your son is dabbling in the busines

The buzz of conversation in the office was muted as the usual energy around was replaced with an air of anxiety. Justin, who had been trying to prove himself in his father's company, stood in the middle of the commotion, as he observed the chaos around him. His sharp eyes looking through the worried glances among the senior managers.“Justin, you might want to sit this out.” A senior executive said to him in a low voice as he passed him. His voice was almost like a whisper.But Justin would not accept that. He was not the one to stay on the sidelines. He knew this was his chance to show he was more than just Nelson Drogonuv's son. He needed to show he is very capable and up to the task.The crises had struck them without warning. One of the company's largest clients, a cornerstone of their growing portfolio, had pulled out of a multi dollar deal. The reasons were vague, but the fall out was very real. Stock prices were plummeting, a casacde of canceled orders from other clients, and w

Murmurs could be heard through the room as the executives looked at each other. Justin's words had struck a chord, but not everyone in the room was entirely convinced.“Do you have any idea how much time and resources that will take to achieve?” One executive said, trying to challenge what Justin said.“Not as much as losing the trust of every other client that is currently watching all of this unfold.” Justin told him with a steady voice, trying as much as possible to be respectful.His father's lips curved into a faint smile. “You are proposing a bold strategy son. Boldness is very good but the most important thing is execution. That is everything. Can you deliver on this?” He asked.Justin nodded frantically. “Yes, I believe I can. Give me three days.”With his father's blessings, Justin quickly swung into action. He started by spending the first night reviewing every detail of the failed deal, going through emails, call logs, and delivery reports. The deeper he dug by reviewing mo

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.

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.

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,

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.

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
