Nicolas was naturally unaware of the presence of James Millard, the mastermind orchestrating a relentless assault on the Clinton Group stock price. Yet, even if Nicolas had been privy to this covert rivalry, his indifference would have remained steadfast and unwavering.Stormwind City, with its towering summits and bustling streets, stood in stark contrast to the overseas, where his mighty empire, the trillion-dollar Nacht Group, had firmly taken root.However, it was not the crucifix of his thoughts. With unwavering confidence, he firmly believed that the formidable SAV Trading Company and the illustrious Emerald Group would be no match for his prowess in the cutthroat realm of the stock market.In the realm of fierce competition, it was a battleground he knew all too well.Armed with the wisdom he had acquired during his tenure at the unremarkable trading firm abroad, defeat seemed an inconceivable notion for him.Nicolas, with his piercing gaze fixed on the flickering trade signals
The funds that they had invested in bringing the share prices of the Clinton Group down were now being eaten up at an alarming rate, and the share prices of the Clinton Group were suddenly rising dramatically!Naturally, James Millard was not surprised by the unexpected shift in the market; in fact, he could see it very clearly on the screen of his monitor, which made him frown in an unpleasant way.The unexpected twist in the stock price infuriated him to the point of rage.If he was unable to get things back to the way they had been in the past, his five million-dollar settlement would almost certainly be rendered null and void.He attempted to rectify the situation, but no matter what orders he provided to the employees, he was unable to turn the tide of the conflict in his favor.It appeared as though his adversary was able to see more than five steps ahead of him.It was an utter source of frustration.If things continued the way they were, there was no question that he would end
The Blue Diamond Villa, Stormwind CityNicolas smirked a happy and self-assured smirk as he sat back in his plush office chair and gazed at the numerous charts and signals of various stock prices that were displayed on the monitors that he affixed to his mahogany desk. He did so while maintaining his wonderfully attractive appearance.He was victorious.He knew without a shadow of a doubt that he would emerge victorious from the competition. He had never been defeated in his entire life, and he did not believe there was anyone in Stormwind City who could defeat him in a trading duel.He looked at the amount of money in his trading portfolio, and a very brilliant smile made its way to his very gorgeous facial features. He was extremely pleased with the amount of money he had made.$219,450,000.He came out ahead by a significant margin.He was confident that the loss, in comparison to the profit he had achieved, would have been intolerable for the SAV Trading Company and would have cau
The weekend went by in a flash, and before anyone realized it, it was already Monday. Considering how worn out Nicolas and Charlotte were, however, it was no surprise that the weekend went by so quickly.On the very first morning of that Monday, Nicolas conveyed to Charlotte some uplifting information.Charlotte was rewarded with a week off of work for her conscientious performance of her responsibilities, while Nicolas remained faithful to his original plan. She had been putting in her maximum effort at work ever since he had first met her and since he had taken control of the Clinton Group.Her attention to detail was remarkable, and Nicolas was convinced that she had been so careful even before he secretly assumed control of the Clinton Group. This is a testament to how diligent she was.Before he rewarded her with the one-week vacation that was so justly hers for all of her hard work and perseverance, he took into consideration this aspect as well.Naturally, Charlotte did not wis
Virigen, Stormwind CityWednesday, at nine o'clock p.m.Despite the fact that the night was still and the moon was bright, the activities in Virigen were as busy as they possibly could be.In the county of Virigen, which was situated on the outskirts of Stormwind City, it was already late in the night.In this part of Stormwind City, there were a lot of people going about their daily activities, so the atmosphere was quite lively. It was also a county in the lower middle class of Stormwind City, and the majority of the wealthy people in Stormwind City were not frequently seen here.It was no surprise that their economy was ranked in the lower middle tier in Stormwind City, given that they only had the presence of a company group that was worth a meager $10 million to drive their economy.There is no way to determine whether or not the people living in Virigen County were aware of the condition of their county, but it was certainly not a big source of concern for them. They had long si
The extremely stunning young woman walked past the entrance without a thought in her mind, so it came as quite a shock to her to see the sight she saw when she entered the hotel lobby.Deluxe was the first word that came into her head at that moment.The hotel had a very high level of elegance.She had to be here for a mission, but that did not prevent her from acknowledging the hotel's high level of sophistication.It was already 11:07 p.m., and the covert charity event, which was attended by the majority of the wealthy people in Stormwind City, was not scheduled to begin until midnight.Yes.Because of the covert charity event that was taking place in this INVIN hotel, a sizeable number of Stormwind City's high-income earners had assembled in the city in order to maintain their anonymity.Of course, Charlotte from the Clinton Group was given an invitation; however, because she was away on vacation, she did not get their invitation letter, so she would not be present at this evening'
'How?!' 'How on Earth?!'"How was he able to recognize me?" The extremely stunning lady, who was later revealed to be known as Lady Neptune of Oasis, had the impression that her mind and ideas were completely jumbled up and mixed up.She was certain that she had managed to keep her identity a secret, and other than the gatekeeper, whom she had tipped off generously, no one else in the entire INVIN hotel was supposed to be aware of her identity, so how on earth did a stranger that she had never heard or seen in her entire life know her identity?"Who are you?" She asked. This time around, Neptune was questioned, and her tone of voice was rather icy. There was even a glimmer of homicidal intent in there somewhere.Yes.She was having severe second thoughts about not sparing the breathtakingly beautiful stranger.Her status as Lady Neptune of Oasis was a closely guarded secret, and anyone who uncovered such a secret should have been instantly put to death or silenced.That was her convi
Nicolas maintained his composure as Neptune assumed a fighting stance in front of him. In spite of the fact that he did not show any emotion on his face, he could not help but find her behavior to be very amusing.She assumed a combat stance.For real?She genuinely believed that she could prevail over him in a fight?Internally, Nicolas let out a scoff.What a farce this was.He did not assume his own combat stance and instead glanced at Neptune in a calm and collected manner. He had a lot of inquiries regarding Oasis, and as a high-ranking member of Oasis, she would be able to answer all of his queries without any difficulty.Nicolas was unable to show any sign of emotion when he confronted her, and Neptune watched as he did so.In spite of the fact that his stunning face was expressionless, she was able to read the subtle traces of derision and contempt that were evident in his piercing blue irises.It was almost as if he were seeing a clown put on one of their most impressive perf
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
