Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 75
Maya sat in the small room with a small frown over her face. The dull ache in her stomach had gradually transformed into an intense burning feeling. Her insides felt twisted and cramped, and she had become very hungry. It was at the point when she was being kidnapped that Bolt and Ghoul had injected her with that strange injection. Whatever it was, the effects were beginning to show now. Maya's hunger was crazily painful, dominating her thoughts and sapping away her strength little by little. She paced around the small, windowless room, trying to distract herself. But it was useless. No matter how much she tried to think of other things, her mind always drifted back to think of what she so desperately needed - food. Maya glanced hopefully at the door each time she heard footsteps approaching. Maybe her captors had come to their senses and would offer her a scrap of bread or a sip of water. Anything to make the pain she was feeling to subside even by a little bit. But each time, t

Maya wasn't sure how much time had passed since Bolt and Ghoul's last visit. In the windowless room, day and night blended together into one endless torment of hunger. Her stomach had gone beyond painful cramping into a state of dull resignation, as if it had given up on ever being filled again. Even the fire in her veins from the injection had faded, leaving her weak and lightheaded.She drifted in and out of a fitful doze, slumped against the cold concrete wall. Strange visions swam through her mind - a roasted turkey with wings flying around her head, a chocolate fountain bubbling enticingly just out of reach. She could even smell the tasty foods from within her sleep. A loud bang jolted Maya awake. She jerked upright, heart pounding furiously, as the door swung open. Bolt strode in, his perpetual sneer even more infuriating now. Maya wanted to slap it off his face. But she could barely gather the strength to keep her head up."Wakey wakey," Bolt said with a cruel laugh. "I hope

Philip fidgeted in his seat, tugging at his collar. Across the table, Ethan sat with perfect composure, regarding Philip with those intense blue eyes. He looked so calm, so confident. It made Philip want to leap over the table and wrap his hands around Ethan's smug throat. But of course, he maintained his decorum. This was a court of law, after all.Still, Philip couldn't stop his leg from bouncing with pent-up nerves. He loosened his tie, feeling like it was strangling him. Where was that information from Brick? Surely Maya would have cracked by now. Philip just needed something, anything, to implicate Ethan and turn this whole case upside down. But his phone remained silent, his pocket empty of the evidence he desperately needed."If both parties are ready, we will begin," the judge said in his monotonous voice. He glanced at Ethan's lawyer, an imposing bald man with a trim salt-and-pepper beard. "The prosecution may begin.""Thank you, Your Honor." Ethan's lawyer, Mr. Everett, r

Philip strode into the courtroom, head held high. Today was the day he would finally put that arrogant bastard Ethan in his place. As he settled at his table, he savored the excitement tingling through him. Brick's last minute intel was the key he needed to unlock Ethan's downfall. Now Philip held the power, and he intended to crush his opponent with it.Across from him, Ethan sat stone-faced as ever. His composure irritated Philip. Did he think he was untouchable? We'll see about that."Court is now in session," the bailiff announced. "The prosecution may call its first witness."Ethan's lawyer, Mr. Everett, stood calmly. "The prosecution calls Mr. Philip Carnegie to the stand."What? This wasn't right. Philip shot up indignantly, finger stabbing toward Ethan."Objection, Your Honor! I am the plaintiff here. I should be the one questioning witnesses, not the defendant." Judge Farnsworth peered down at Philip over his glasses. "Mr. Carnegie, you know very well that as the plaintiff,

Philip opened and closed his mouth mutely. His whole case - his life - was collapsing around him like a house of cards. All because of that goddamn Ethan Hunt!In desperation, he whirled on Ethan, pointing a shaking, accusatory finger. "You! This is all your doing, I just know it! Setting me up, making a fool of me!" Even as the words left his mouth, he knew he sounded like a raving lunatic. But he was helpless to stop the tirade pouring from him. Months of rage and resentment boiled over.Ethan said nothing, merely watching Philip's breakdown with an infuriating air of calm. And perhaps, unless Philip was imagining it, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. The bailiff stepped forward, muscling Philip away from Ethan's table. Philip thrashed in the man's iron grip."Get your hands off me! I'll see you rot for this, Hunt! Do you hear me? Rot!"His screams echoed off the walls as Philip was dragged forcibly from the courtroom, still shouting threats and obscenities at Ethan. The heavy

Ethan strode into the boardroom, spine straight and shoulders squared. The murmuring voices quieted as all eyes turned to him. He let the silence hang for a moment, amplifying the tension."Gentlemen," he finally said, voice ringing out clearly in the hushed room. "I'm sure you all know why I've called this emergency meeting."His piercing gaze swept over the assembled board members. Most looked away, unable to meet his intense stare. "It has come to my attention that there are...concerns about my legitimacy as head of the Astor Group." Ethan paused, letting the words sink in. "Concerns that I am not truly my father's son and rightful heir."The silence grew uncomfortable. Several of the men squirmed under Ethan's unrelenting gaze."David," Ethan said sharply, focusing on a nervous-looking man at the end of the table. "Perhaps you'd care to repeat what you told Mr. Jones yesterday at the country club."David paled, shrinking down in his seat. "I, uh, I merely expressed that...""That

A slow, wolfish smile spread across Ethan’s face. “Is that so? I imagine the IRS will be very interested to learn about these creative accounting practices.”“There’s more, sir,” Andrew said eagerly. “I took the liberty of hiring private investigators to look into the Waltons’ personal affairs. It seems both daughters are living lavish lifestyles well beyond the family’s legal means.”He slid a file folder across the desk. Ethan opened it and rifled through photos of a stunning brunette in designer outfits posing on yachts and at exclusive nightclubs. “Sophia Walton,” Andrew explained. “She’s the younger daughter. A real troublemaker, according to our investigators. Drunk driving charges, drug use, assault allegations from domestic staff. All swept under the rug. Ethan's smile widened, eyes glinting. This insolent girl sounded like the perfect pressure point."Excellent work, Andrew. We're going to pay Ms. Walton a little visit. Time to teach her some respect."Andrew nodded eagerly

Ethan strode through the executive floor of his company's headquarters, drinking in the sights and sounds of productivity. The click of keyboards, the murmur of focused voices - it was the hum of his domain. Catching his employees' eyes, he gave curt nods of approval. Morale seemed high in the wake of his recent conquests. They knew strong leadership when they saw it.Reaching his office, Ethan found Andrew waiting with the usual stack of papers for his signature. He breezed through them swiftly."Excellent work on the Davidson merger," he remarked as he signed a contract. "Our alcohol division needed that acquisition." Andrew flushed with pride. "Thank you sir. I'm glad I could facilitate it to your standards."Ethan leaned back, regarding his secretary pensively. Andrew had served him loyally for many years now. He was meticulous, discreet, and knew better than to overstep. Yes, it was time Andrew received some recognition for his efforts."I've been thinking you're overdue for
