Inside a very large office filled with state-of-the-art computers, the sounds of people typing away speedily on keyboards could be heard with obvious clarity. Among the people typing away dutifully was a young and handsome man with short black hair and orange irises, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.Of course, the young and handsome man was none other than Nicolas.Nicolas had fallen into a simple routine for the next two days. He worked dutifully at Limbra Inc. as a junior accountant, always coming in early, completing his tasks, and then leaving right on time. Furthermore, he made sure that his presence at his temporary workplace was as inconspicuous as possible, avoiding anything that could draw attention to himself.However, while he made sure not to attract as little attention as possible, he also paid close attention to the gossip and low-level discussions the workers had during their lunch breaks at the company's cafeteria. From his experience growing Nacht Group to be a
Nicolas's heart raced with anger as he pulled up to the grand entrance of the Blue Diamond Villa. The sprawling estate stood proudly against the backdrop of the setting sun, its elegant architecture commanding attention from anyone who laid eyes on it.With his car parked meticulously, he stepped out and strode towards his opulent villa, seething with an intense fury directed at none other than the notorious Iil Group.Nicolas was very disgusted with the actions of the Iil Group's chairman, Isaac Iil, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. He knew what his priorities were, and right now, the Iil Group is not at the top of his priority list.The first thing he needed to do was investigate Jack Harvey's involvement in his mother's death and also find evidence of the financial crimes Limbra Inc. committed. This way, he would be killing two birds with one stone.Shelving all thoughts about his pursuit of the truth about his mother's death and unearthing the dark financial crimes
The hours went by uneventfully, with Nicolas being fully focused on his job, and soon enough, it was 12 p.m., the designated time for the meeting of the upper echelons at Limbra Inc.Of course, it was also the time that Nicolas plan would be set in motion.Nicolas kept on typing away on his monitor, but consciously kept tabs on the time on his black wristwatch. The moment the time on his wristwatch read 12:05 p.m., he stood up from his work desk and excused himself to Mr. Idris before making his way out of the accounting department.However, Nicolas did not make his way to the toilet as he asked to do so. Instead, he took the stairs all the way to the 10th floor, carefully avoiding the scrutiny of the CCTV cameras installed in the hallways of Limbra Inc.In less than five minutes, he was already on the 10th floor, and just two floors separated him from the floor where Jack Harvey, the vice president of Limbra Inc., office was.He calmly made his way into an empty and abandoned store ro
Just as soon as Nicolas uttered his statement, he turned his orange irises in the direction of the fire alarm that was fixed on the ceiling of the abandoned storeroom.In the next moment, the fire alarm went off, sending piercing blares of ear-splitting sounds around the entire Limbra Inc. building.Nicolas glanced at the time on his unassuming black wristwatch, evidently unaffected by the scorching temperature and thick fumes of smoke in the burning storeroom, and saw that it was already 12:20 p.m.According to his calculations, it would take a little over 20 minutes to evacuate the entire Limbra Inc. building, as the fire he lit would surely spread; therefore, he had only 15 minutes to complete the second phase of the plan.Moreover, after the twenty minutes were over, the firefighting team would arrive at Limbra Inc. to combat the fire he started; therefore, he needed to complete the second phase of his plan as soon as possible.After coming to an extremely quick conclusion about h
Jack Harvey's office was well furnished, with various expensive furniture and lavish decoration spread in various parts of the office, giving it an aesthetically pleasing look.Various portraits of several influential figures in Stormwind City were hung on the white walls of the office, and without any surprise, the portrait of Grey Tyris, the patriarch of the Tyris family, was also hung on the walls of the office.'As expected.' Nicolas cursed vehemently, an expression of disgust evidently visible on his face as he stared at the portrait of his grandfather displayed proudly on the wall of the office.On the large ebony mahongany desk in the office, an exquisite glass plaque with the words 'Vice President' written intricately on it was arranged neatly on the desk, displaying the power that Jack Harvey wielded in Limbra Inc.Nicolas hastily glanced around the well-furnished office before making his way to the large mahogany desk.'This is not the time for me to observe that bastard's o
The drive back to his Blue Diamond Villa in Onyx Palace was uneventful and smooth, and after driving skillfully for over 2 hours and 30 minutes, Nicolas arrived safely at his destination.Of course, Nicolas was smart enough to avoid any major roads and traffic, as he was sure that the Mercedes Benz C300 he used with his false identity as Seth Kaysen would surely be traced during the investigation to see if he was the arsonist that set Limbra Inc. on fire, so he decided to follow a route he mapped out earlier to avoid bringing any attention to himself.This was also why it took him much longer to reach his villa. A journey that would have taken him at most 1 hour and thirty minutes took him a whopping 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete. This made his journey an extra hour long, but Nicolas didn't mind it. As long as he was able to complete his mission while keeping his real identity a secret, he was fine with the extra time spent.It was way past 3 p.m. when Nicolas finally arrived at
Nicolas opened the drawer of his large mahogany desk and brought out a sleek black laptop. He also brought out a black notebook and a ballpoint pen and dropped them neatly on the mahogany desk before turning his attention back to the hard disk drive and cellphone he took from the hidden compartment in Jack Harvey's office.He took a white USB cord that he had used before and connected the hard disk drive to his sleek black laptop. He then switched on his laptop and crossed his hands; his now-blue irises narrowed as he waited for his laptop to turn on.He didn't have to wait long, as in less than a minute, his laptop was switched on and ready for use. He swiftly operated his laptop and navigated to the section where the hard disk drive icon was showing on his laptop.He double-clicked on the hard disk drive icon, half expecting it to open and grant him access to the contents of the hard disk drive. Alas, those were merely wishful thoughts on his part. It turned out that the hard disk d
Meanwhile, while Nicolas was waiting for Joel to bypass the secured passcodes on the hard disk drive and cellphone, Jack Harvey was fuming seriously in his office."The origin of the fire is far from ordinary!" Jack Harvey cursed venomously as he looked at the empty, hidden compartment on the wall of his office.Some hours earlier, Jack Harvey was in a very important business meeting with the upper echelon of Limbra Inc. It was disguised as a business meeting, but deep down, every one of them who attended the meeting knew that it was far from that.Rather than being a business meeting, it was a meeting that was meant for them to fight for their own selfish interests.None of the upper echelon at Limbra Inc. were innocent and naive. Instead, they were quite the opposite—ssly and greedy.This was to be expected, as none of them would have climbed to the top of Limbra Inc. if they were kind and naive.It was during the meeting that they heard the fire alarm ring throughout the entire bui
