"How dare you?!" a voice that belonged to a young man echoed in the classy sales centre. The tone of the voice was incredibly arrogant and superior, making Nicolas frown subconsciously. Nicolas' attention, alongside Liam's was instantly drawn to the source of the voice, and what the both of them saw made Nicolas frown even deeper. A handsome young man with bright red hair was furiously yelling at a female salesperson, his eyes staring down at her with a disdainful look. He seemed disgusted by the sight of the female salesperson. "Look at that, young master Jason is acting up again." a customer who also wanted to purchase a vehicle at the Maxi Automobiles sales centre said, and although it was hidden carefully, one could sense the displeasure in his voice. "Yeah he is. This is the third time this month he is behaving like this. Almost everytime he comes here to service his car he is always involved in one altercation or the other." another customer added, displeasure also layered in
The phone in Nicolas' hands only rang for a few seconds before the person on the other end of the phone answered the call. "Hello?" an elegant voice tinged with respect responded from the other end of the phone. The voice of course belonged to Charlotte. "Who is the Chief Financial Officer of the Clinton Group?" Nicolas Nicolas inquired while maintaining an extremely icy demeanor. "Mr. Jin Horton is the Chief Financial Officer of Clinton Group." Charlotte replied respectfully, but the traces of confusion could be heard in her tone. Jason's face paled even more, and the terrifying thought in his head grew even more terrifying. Nicolas had put the phone on speaker, so Jason could hear everything clearly, along with the rest of the customers in the classy automobile sales centre. "From now on, Jin Horton is no longer the Chief Financial Officer of Clinton Group. He is fired, and should leave the company with immediate effect." Nicolas ordered imperiously in a cold tone, his piercing
The rest of the days passed uneventfully after the series of events at the Maxi Automobiles sales centre. After making the neccessary modifications to his vehicle, the Lamborghini Aventador was delivered to his Blue Diamond Villa. He had also purchased new outfits, ranging from the most expensive Stuart Hughes Diamond Edition suits to Alexander Amosu Vanquish Bespoke suits. These suits were all fitted with high end exquisite accessories. However, all these were merely preludes to the event that was happening today. The Emerald Business Conference. The Emerald Business Conference Charlotte was invited to was happening this night, and Nicolas had to attend no matter what. They were a plethora of reasons Nicolas had to attend, such as being the Clinton Group benefactor, seeing the upper echelons of Stormwind City, and gaining probable connections. However these were secondary reasons for his attendance. The main reason he was attending the Emerald Business Conference was because his a
•Nova Resorts• Nova Resorts certainly lived up to its status as one of the three 10 star resorts in Stormwind City. It had top notch restaurants with the best of chefs preparing delicious and exotic meals, large swimming pools with up-to-date facilities, beautiful gardens with the most qualified gardeners in charge of the gardens, Spas and several other amenities. In this regal and lavish resort, several extravagant vehicles could be seen appearing one after the other before a spread out red carpet. This was the infamous red carpet event. A huge number of people were outside the steel barricades cheering loudly at the arrivals of the influential figures which included their favorite musicians, actors, internet celebrities, and the top business personnel in Stormwind City. Several reporters and journalists were also present, taking as much pictures as they could while interviewing the important personnel that were arriving. "Mr. Jon Zimmerson of the Zimmerson Group, do you have an
The interior of the conference hall was lavishly decorated and stunningly gorgeous, so much that Charlotte was having a very hard time keeping her mouth closed. Beautiful chandeliers with vibrant colors flashing in them hung from the lush ceiling walls of the conference hall, with state of the art designs visible in the hall.The hall was already filled with the prominent businessmen and upper echelon of Stormwind City walking around and socializing, including the top musicians and the top celebrities actively socializing while a popular music band was playing slow music on the well designed stage. Different handsome waiters and beautiful waitresses walked around the hall busily, offering different top notch wines and treats to the prominent guests present.Nicolas was already used to such scenarios being the head of a top business corporation in the world, but this was Charlotte's first time in an event as lavish as this one, so her reaction was both reasonable and understandable.W
Nicolas could feel the wrath building up in his heart, and the murderous aura that was emanating from his body became even more tangible, and both Charlotte who was standing right next to him started to feel uncomfortable being so close to him.Mr. Zimmerson, the blond haired man who was pestering Charlotte earlier had already left them the moment Grey Tyris appeared, joining the other businessmen who were trying to get on the Patriarch of the Tyris family good side."Mr. Nicolas?" Charlotte called out softly, an expression of concern and worry on her beautiful face.Nicolas however ignored her call, his murderous aura still steadily rising. It wasn't until she called him for the third time did Nicolas manage to control his murderous aura."Mr. Nicolas, is every thing okay?" Charlotte asked once again, and the expression of concern became more prominent on her breathtaking face."Everything is fine." Nicolas said coldly, his piercing blue eyes still transfixed on the elderly man in hi
The rest of the Emerald Business Conference was uneventful after Nicolas' bitter reunion with his grandfather. Charlotte continued to move around and socialize with the other businessmen present in the conference. A lot of the businessmen asked her questions about the mysterious sponsor who revived her Clinton Group that was on the verge of bankruptcy, but she skillfully evaded their questions. In the end, they were unable to come out with anything concrete. Nicolas and Charlotte walked silently to the park the event valet parked his car, but there were a lot of things going through Nicolas' mind at the moment. He was silently boiling in rage. It had been five years since his mother died, but the person who was supposed to mete justice for his mother's death did not bother about it, and was instead living his life peacefully! "We will be parting ways here, Mr. Nicolas. I have ordered a taxi, and he will be here in the next two minutes." Charlotte suddenly said, drawing Nicolas out
Nicolas had just exited the shower in his bedroom after taking his bath when his tablet on his king sized bed vibrated. He instantly knew what that meant. Charlotte had completed the task he gave her and sent every detail she could find about Limbra Inc. and Jack Harvey. Nicolas dried his muscular and ripped body with a towel and donned a luxurious black silk robe before settling down on his bed, but not before wearing his trademark gold rimmed glasses. He brought out a medicinal cigar, lit it up slowly and took a long puff before starting to read through the neat and well detailed report Charlotte sent to his e-mail. Limbra Inc was a top class business group in Stormwind City, and they were worth around $40 million. On the surface, their company dealt in legitimate and upfront business, but the report that Charlotte sent told him a crucial information that was hidden from the general public. The Limbra Inc. was a subsidiary company of the GT Group, which was the main business group
Following the meticulous plans of Nicolas, the Tyris family completely met their ruin a few weeks later.The once-mighty Tyris family now laid in financial ruin; their business empire dismantled, their wealth evaporated, and their influence shattered.The Tyris family faced the harsh reality of their downfall.The federal authorities, after the proper investigations and thorough examinations of the activities of the Tyris family business group and companies came out with a befitting result.In a press conference, the Tyris family were pronounced guilty of all the charges levied against them, and would face the proper punishments worthy of their crime.Without any suspense, Grey Tyris, alongside with his accomplices would without a single iota of doubt face jail time in the wake of their offence.Naturally, Grey Tyris and his accomplices did not want to go down without swinging, hence they pooled their last resources and hired a top lawyer to defend them.Nevertheless, it still ended u
“Who are you?!” Margaret Tyris asked the moment the door was forcefully kicked open and then scrambled her way to the table which was closest to her and picked up a knife.She held the knife with both hands and pointed it at the person who forcefully kicked the door open.As a person who was wanted by the federal authorities and on the run, she was extremely paranoid and anxious, and when coupled with the fact that the invader forcefully kicked the door open, it was no wonder that she was on edge and picked up a knife.No matter who the person was, and regardless of their identity, whether they were with the federal authorities or not, she was not going to let herself get caught and let everything she’d worked for go down the drain!With that resolution in mind, she took a deep breath to calm her mind and her already trembling hands, then took a good look at the invader.The invader was very tall, standing at an impressive height of 190 cm, or even more. He was also very well built, a
Leyland Hotel, Stormwind City.[11:34 p.m.]The Leyland Hotel could not be classified as a five star hotel in Stormwind city, neither could it be classified as a four star hotel. The best it could be called was a three star hotel, after all, it was located well in the outskirts of Stormwind city.Everything in the hotel, from the exterior of the building to the rooms in the building could be described as third class at best.The exterior of the hotel which was once stood beautifully under the reflection of the bright sun was now somewhat rundown, and completely unattractive to most of the passer-byes who considered spending the night there.The receptionist who sat at the front desk in the hotel was the perfect example of bored and disinterested, with her desk being cluttered with outdated brochures and a ringing bell that had long lost its shine.Every other facility in the hotel could be described as third class at best.The rooms were very unpleasant for a customer with uncomfortab
The Tyris family manor, Stormwind City.It was quite late into the afternoon when Nicolas arrived at the Tyris manor. He, of course, drove his sleek Lamborghini Aventador to the manor as usual.As he stood outside the Tyris manor, his heart beat rapidly in a mix of anticipation and resolve.He had come alone, as he was driven by the desire to see the outcome of his actions firsthand, as well as closure from it.This moment had been years in the making, a meticulously crafted plan to bring down the family that had tormented him for so long.The once-grand estate now mirrored the desolation that had marked Nicolas's childhood—a fitting backdrop for the culmination of his vengeance.The large manor which sat atop a large amount of acres was once vibrant with the bustle of high society. However, it now felt like a mausoleum, as if echoing the emptiness of its occupants' fortunes.The Tyris manor which was once a symbol of opulence and power for the Tyris family, now stood as a dismal remin
The moment the VITA Group which was the main and fundamental pillar of the Tyris family was acquired by Nicolas, the doom of the Tyris family was set in stone.In less than 48 hours, Nicolas had acquired the VITA Group, the Tyris family main pillar. What more could be said for the small business companies and corporations that were part of the VITA Group or under their banner?In less than 36 hours, every single business company that was controlled by the VITA Group switched owners and were now owned by Nicolas.Naturally, they tried to resist, but it was of no use at all. Nicolas was too damn authoritative and aggressive. Most of all, he had the money. No matter what their price were, he was wealthy enough to double it.Not even a day had passed after Nicolas had purchased the small business, and a restructuring was set in progress.The name of the business group was changed from VITA to Zenith Capital, and of course, Nicolas let his trusted Charlotte Clinton handle the rest.Majorit
Less than 24 hours had passed since Grey Tyris hosted a press conference regarding the exposure of his VITA Group insider secrets and crimes, as well as their corruption.While his press conference was a swift response, which was expected from a top business veteran like Grey Tyris, it was only going to delay the inevitable.The secrets were out in the open, and whatever they did would end up being utterly hopeless.Majority of the shareholders, investors and business partners no longer had any trust in the Tyris family following the exposure of their crimes, and even the minority that still maintained their shares in the Tyris family’s VITA Group were already skeptical about riding a sinking ship.They were investors, therefore their sense of belonging was null and void when their money was involved. The moment they found a way to cut costs and regain their losses, they would jump ship immediately.There were no friends in the business world; only interests.*Mercury Penthouse, West
The next day was undoubtedly bound to be a very busy one for the members of the Tyris family, as well as the executives and upper echelon of the VITA Group.*Grey Tyris sat in his vintage study room which was located at the top floor of the Tyris manor.Dressed in an immaculate white suit, his aged body stood ramrod still with his hands crossed behind his back while his piercing blue eyes gazed out at the well-kept and neat garden below.His study room, which was usually his place of calm and control, was now filled with a palpable tension.His assistant and butler who had been with him for more than three decades hurried in, and his aged face which was always calm was now pale with anxiety."Mr. Tyris, you need to see this." He said anxiously, handing him a stack of freshly printed newspaper articles and an expensive tablet displaying various news websites.Grey Tyris collected the items from his butler, took a deep breath and scanned the headlines:“Unmasking the Titans: Tyris Fami
Naturally, with the scale and gravity of what happened, there was no way such a thing could have been kept under wraps.Without any suspense, it didn’t take long for the entire city of Stormwind, including the parts of Stormwind City were the major residents were the poor, to be completely abuzz with the scandal surrounding the Tyris Family.As news outlets continued to broadcast the shocking revelations of unethical practices within the wealthy family, public outrage grew louder by the hour. Across the city, people gathered in coffee shops, offices, their houses and many other gathering spots reserved for the public, expressing their disbelief and anger over the scandalous and unethical actions of the Tyris Family.*On a bustling street corner, a reporter from The City Chronicles, one of the ten media companies that received Charlotte’s $1 million and were on her payroll, held a microphone up to a middle-aged woman, her face flushed with indignation.The middle-aged woman was a resi
Vine Lane, Stormwind City.Vine Lane was one of the numerous middle class areas in Stormwind City, with well-built houses and apartment which were also pleasantly looking occupying the neat streets of the neighborhood.There were of course several middle end cars plying the traffic regulated highway, with the residents heading to their various destinations.The walkway reserved for the pedestrians were as empty as it could be, with only a very few passerby walking occasionally across the well paved ground.The weather was a little bit sunny, but considering the fact that it was 10:21 a.m., it was nothing too serious. Moreover, from the relaxed expression on the faces of the few pedestrians, as well as the residents in the various relaxing buildings like cafés and several restaurants, this wasn’t a one-time occurrence for them, so they were pretty much used to it.The fact that it was a Saturday, which was a weekend also contributed to the calm, serene and scanty environment.Tyrese Mi
