Chapter 102“Promotions are done with time, Williams. You can't just wake up one morning and become a head of any department. Besides, we have Sam as the head of the technical department.” Eric said.“You're right. But, if we keep considering this we may lose everything we all worked for over the years. So as the Director of the board, I want to make Williams the Head of the technical department.” Mr. Sterling took the bull by the horn.There was silence in the room. Nobody spoke for almost a minute and then Eric broke the silence.“It's a good idea but how about Sam?”“What about him?” Mr. Sterling asked rudely.“I think Sam is not fit to be the Head of the Technical department because if he was, he should have been here, instead of me.” Williams said.“So is everyone agreeing to this?” Mr. Sterling said and looked around the room.The board members looked at each other, and then began nodding one after the other.None of them dared to object Mr. Sterling's proposal and they thought

Chapter 103Lana had finally convinced Williams to go on a double date with her, Ellen, and James.According to what she told Williams, James wanted to make things right after messing up their last dinner date.That evening, She was a bit nervous but excited.Not just about the date but also because Williams told her that he has been promoted.She and Ellen wore their best dresses, while James and Williams chose smart casual outfits.James picked a nice Italian restaurant downtown, known for its cozy atmosphere and great food.When they met outside the restaurant, Lana and Ellen greeted each other with warm smiles while James and Williams shook hands and tried to leave any awkwardness behind.“You know, last time, you refused to shake my hands, James. I wonder what happened now.” Williams said and everyone burst out laughing.“I guess I have repented.” James said sarcastically and they all laughed again. But William was faking his.As they sat down at their reserved table, the waiter

Chapter 104"Oh yes, Lana is my boss, as you know I'm her chauffeur and I happened to also become friends with her friend Ellen so I must say I'm a lucky man.”“Oh really?”“Yes”"You said you're a chauffeur, is that the only work you do?"The question hit James like a thunderbolt. But before he could answer. Lana covered up for him."Yes" But the answer only betrayed James further because William knows about him from Elson."Oh really?" Williams said sarcastically. "You must have a twin without your knowledge at EMC, because I saw someone looking like you who works there as a janitor. Williams mocked and laughed.James was at a loss for words. "Oh that. I work part-time. “You do part time? But EMC doesn't accept part-time employees. Your story is not quite adding up here lol.”"I um,...” James said and trailed off."Well, James is not a full time employee because he doesn't have the certificate to become a staff at EMC. He was only employed there because he once helped Mr. Wood, and

Chapter 105In Richard Carl's home on a Saturday morning, he lay sick in bed while his wife Kate rained insults and frustration upon him."Kate, please help me, I need to use the bathroom," Richard pleaded."You always bother me, you stupid man!" Kate snapped back."Please, Kate, don't treat me like this. I'm your husband," Richard said weakly.“Ha! What did you say?”Alisha, their daughter, entered the room and scolded her mother for her harsh words. "Mom, he's still your husband," she reminded her. “Stop treating dad like this because he is sick.”"Husband my foot. Who asked him to invest his money into a scam now see the outcome. I can't take this anymore. I'm leaving this house today." Kate said and began packing her bags to go over to her father, Pa Aaron's home.She saw no future with Richard again and can't continue with the marriage."Mom, please don't go, he's your husband.""I'm broke because of him and now, I'm filing for divorce. I can't stay with him anymore. He's ruined

What's the plan moving forward?" Mr. Sterling inquired."I have a plan," Williams replied confidently. "Once I have gained access to the control unit and can navigate through every sector of EMC. We'll frame Mrs. Lee as the person who sent the virus to EMC, citing her Chinese heritage as a reason for suspicion. Once she's implicated and evicted, you can assume control of the financial department, while I'll pretend to be removing the virus to make the wire transfer process smoother. It'll take weeks to avoid suspicion. Additionally, I'll bill Eric an astronomical amount for tools and software supposedly need

Chapter 107“Jaxon, look who's here to see you.” Mr Sterling said and knocked on Jaxon's door.There was loud music coming from inside his room.After a few seconds, Jaxon opened the door and saw his father and a young man who looked a bit older than himself standing in the door.“Hello, Jaxon.” Williams said and stretched forth his hands for a handshake.“Hello,” Jaxon said and took his hand sluggishly after barely responding.His father explained how Williams had helped him in the past. “This is Williams, the guy who got you released from ESU custody the last time.”“Oh well. Williams.” He reluctantly greeted Williams as his father introduced them. The room was filled with loud music, and Jaxon seemed uninterested.He looked at Williams from head to toe not believing that a young man like Williams is capable of doing such.“In that case, I'll leave you both to catch on along with each other," Mr Sterling said and walked out.“Nice to see you, Jaxon,” Williams said.“Me too. Nice to

Chapter 108"You see, Jaxon, I like you so much, and that's why I want to tell you about this. Or has your dad already told you about it?"Jaxon shook his head and was curious. "Told me about what?" he asked impatiently.Williams sighed and looked at Jaxon with a mix of disappointment and pity. With a solemn expression, he replied, "Your dad doesn't regard you one bit. Take it from me; he sees you as a prodigal son who does nothing but spend all his money."Jaxon's face turned red with anger. "Screw you! Is that what you came here to tell me?" he yelled.“That's the tip of the iceberg of the things I want to reveal to you here in this room. Only if you would calm down and listen.”“You must be mad! I thought you have something important here to say, or your broke a** needs some cash. And I even believed you're dating Lana.”Williams was not going to have that insult. He shook his head again and asked. "Were you expecting me to tell you that your dad truly loves you?" he scoffed. "If s

Chapter 467: The Applause
Chapter 467: The ApplauseThe afternoon sun cast a golden hue over the EMC skyscraper, its reflective glass exterior shimmering like a beacon of triumph. Inside, the atmosphere was electric. An impromptu all-staff meeting had been called by CEO Eric Wood, a rare occurrence that sent ripples of curiosity and anticipation through every department.Employees from all levels gathered in the grand auditorium, a state-of-the-art facility designed for such significant announcements. The room buzzed with chatter, the air thick with excitement and speculation. Whispers of the recent virus removal and the mysterious figure behind it dominated conversations.The middle rows were filled with dozens of staff from departments like finance, IT, customer care, logistics, and development. They whispered, leaned sideways, and shared raised brows as they clapped.“That’s the guy, right?” one whispered to her colleague.“Nathaniel Grey. They say he barely even comes to EMC.”“Well, he shows up and boom—t
Chapter 466: The Ghost in the Code
Chapter 466: The Ghost in the CodeThe sun rose lazily over Emerald Falls, its golden rays piercing through the sleek glass exterior of the EMC skyscraper. Inside, however, the day had started long before dawn. The Control Center’s success had set off a chain reaction that echoed through every floor, every department, and every hallway of the company.By 9 a.m., EMC was alive with celebration. In the reception area of the main lobby, clusters of employees stood huddled around digital screens and glowing tables, their voices buzzing like a swarm of bees. The virus was gone. Just like that. No system crashes, no missing files, and no corrupted data logs. Overnight, the ghost that had haunted their finance sector for months had vanished.Cheers broke out when the first internal memo was released.INTERNAL MEMO – SYSTEM STABILITY REPORT“All affected sectors have been restored. The virus has been neutralized. Full operations have resumed.”The message bore the signature of Liam Carter, no
Chapter 465: Control Protocol
Chapter 465: Control ProtocolThe glass elevator hummed softly as it descended into the lower chambers of EMC, its view revealing the underbelly of one of the most secure buildings in Emerald Falls.Liam stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his posture relaxed, but his face was painted with that same smug satisfaction that often made people unsure whether to admire or hate him. Beside him, Kai stood silent, his sharp eyes flicking down to his laptop screen as he made last-minute checks to his code. He had double-checked everything already—but he enjoyed looking busy, especially when people were watching.When the elevator doors opened, they stepped into a dim, sterile corridor lined with gleaming silver panels. At the far end stood a massive, armored gate bearing the seal of EMC. Mounted beside it was a tall humanoid figure—an android security guard that looked like something out of a dystopian dream. It had no visible face, just a smooth metallic mask with a glowing blue str
Chapter 464: The Test of Control
Chapter 464: The Test of ControlLiam Carter walked into his office with the slow, confident gait of a man who believed the world was just one move away from kneeling. His tailored navy coat swayed with each step. He had just finished a meeting with Eric Wood.At the far end of the room, Kai Nakamura sat cross-legged on the edge of a sleek glass desk, a laptop balanced on his thigh. His posture was casual, too relaxed. Kai always carried himself like the room belonged to him—even if it didn’t.Liam didn’t look at him. He was already pulling off his gloves, tossing them carelessly on the table. “Eric folded faster than I thought,” he muttered. “His spine’s made of jelly.”Kai didn’t look up. He tapped a few keys, scrolling through rows of code that glowed green against the black screen. “Shocking,” he replied flatly. “You threatened to expose him to the court. That tends to do the trick.”Liam pressed the intercom. “Alisha, get Mr. Arjun Patel here. Now.”“Yes, Mr. Carter,” came the cr
Chapter 463: The Balance of Power
Chapter 463: The Balance of PowerThe morning sun was barely up when Liam Carter stepped out of his black SUV, surrounded by two bodyguards in dark suits. The air around EMC headquarters was thick with tension, though the usual buzz of employees trying to look busy filled the halls. In his office on the top floor, Eric sat behind his desk, sipping black coffee and flipping through reports. He looked tired, his hair a little messier than usual and his tie loosened. His secretary, Cara Hart, tapped on his glass door and entered without waiting for a response.“Sir,” she said, a little nervously, “Liam Carter is on his way up to see you.”Eric’s hand paused mid-turn on a report page. He looked up slowly. “Now?”Cara nodded. “He didn’t book a meeting. Just said he’s coming. Should I let him in?”Eric exhaled and leaned back in his chair. “Of course you should,” he muttered. “Let him in.”A few seconds later, the door opened, and Liam walked in like he owned the place. His suit was sharp,
Chapter 462: Voices of War
Chapter 462: Voices of WarThe night air was heavy, still laced with the tension of the exchange that had just gone down. The warehouse was cold and dimly lit, the air thick with smoke and silence. Rusted metal beams lined the ceiling, and old crates were stacked against the cracked walls.Williams stepped inside, his black coat dragging slightly on the concrete floor. Kane, Tom, and Dorian were already there, seated around a battered steel table, waiting for him like wolves ready for the hunt.William tossed the duffel bag onto the table and unzipped it.“This is a lot of cash,” he said, glancing around at the others. “It’s not smart to walk around with this much money. I’ll take it to the bank, make a deposit, and then transfer your cut to each of you.”The others nodded in agreement.“You said you had the man who killed Sasha,” Kane spoke first, his voice low and impatient, his fingers drumming restlessly on the table.Williams said nothing at first. He walked to the center of the
Chapter 461: Smoke and Shadows
Chapter 461: Smoke and ShadowsWilliams stepped out of Mr. Sterling’s office with his hands buried deep in the pockets of his coat. The soft click of the door closing behind him felt like a seal on a conversation he had no intention of honoring. His steps were steady, but his mind was racing. The hallway was quiet, only the muffled sounds of chatter from distant rooms echoing faintly. None of it concerned him. Not now.He made his way down the elevator, the polished metal doors reflecting his cold stare. As the numbers ticked down floor by floor, he exhaled slowly and murmured to himself, “They really think I’m playing by their rules…”The elevator doors opened, and he walked into the underground parking lot. He moved like a man with a purpose. His driverless black sedan waited where it always did. He slipped inside, started the engine, and drove off without a second thought.The sun outside was beginning to set, bathing the streets of Emerald Falls in golden light, but Williams wasn’
Chapter 460: A Perfect Plan
Chapter 460: A Perfect PlanInside Mr. Sterling’s office, the atmosphere was tense. The air smelled of dark roast coffee and expensive cologne, but under it all was a scent of fear—muffled, but present. The lights were dimmed, casting long shadows across the wooden floor and walls lined with books and polished glass cases. It was supposed to be a place of quiet intellect, but today it was a battlefield of ideas and schemes.Mr. Sterling paced behind his desk, arms folded tightly behind his back, jaw clenched. His face was hard to read, but his silence spoke volumes. Across the room, Williams sat comfortably on the leather sofa, legs crossed, hands folded casually on his knee. There was a slight smirk on his face, a glimmer of confidence that hadn’t been there a few days ago.“I’ve delivered the fake virus to Liam,” Williams said, breaking the silence. “He didn’t suspect a thing. He even agreed to test it. That buys us enough time.”Sterling stopped pacing and turned, brows furrowed. “
Chapter 459: A Death Wish
Chapter 459: A Death WishThe car had just come to a stop near the tall glass building, its surface reflecting the last golden light of the evening. The hum of the engine faded as Kai’s hand reached for the ignition, but before he turned it off, his eyes narrowed. His gaze locked onto the rearview mirror. Something wasn’t right.Lina shifted in her seat, noticing the change in his expression. “Why did you stop?” she asked, her voice calm but curious, her head tilted slightly in his direction.Kai didn’t answer immediately. He unclipped his seat belt slowly, keeping his eyes on the mirror.“Someone’s been following us,” he finally said in a low voice, not taking his eyes off the vehicle parked just a few feet behind them.Lina followed his gaze and turned to look through the back window. A dull gray car sat silently behind theirs, engine still running. Its windows were tinted too dark to see inside clearly.“What? How do you even know?” she asked, surprised. She hadn’t noticed anyone d
