At most, it had the size of the smallest continent on Earth. The vast emptiness of the space was punctuated by a single dominating feature.In the center of this mysterious realm stood a towering mountain that covered most of the available land. This mountain, with its sheer cliffs and jagged peaks, seemed almost otherworldly. Surrounding the mountain was a serene lake, its waters glowing with a soft, ethereal light, much like the moonlight that it sorely lacked. The tranquility of the lake was mesmerizing, its crystal-clear waters reflecting the dim light in a manner that made it appear almost magical.In addition to this mountain and lake, the space was adorned with various types of vegetation. Tall trees with lush foliage produced golden fruits that seemed to shimmer with an inner energy. These fruits, ra

“What!!” Jack yelled, a stunned look on his face.He stared at the list again. There were only three companies, and the one he was representing was at the top. He could not believe it. How could this be possible? The company he actively invested in, the one he had poured his heart and soul into, was now being sold. He felt a wave of disbelief wash over him.Inside the meeting room, three others shared Jack's confused expression. One was the lady who had first objected to joining hands with the hunter organization. She had always been vocal about her disapproval, and now her confusion was mixed with a palpable sense of frustration. The other was the middle-aged man who had supported William. Unlike the others, he did not share their confusion; instead, he wore a frown on his face, a look that suggested he knew more than he was letting on.
