Mateusz was filled with emotions. He could sense something unusual from his encounter with Christian, Maria, and Rina at the Dimond Hotel, which was owned by Christian.Whether it was because of his ability to read situations very well or his tendency to have negative assumptions about others, one thing was certain – he knew that the three of them were conspiring to destroy him.“What? Conspiring about what? With this man? Who is he, anyway?” Maria asked with a sarcastic tone.Mateusz stared into Maria’s eyes and said, “Don’t lie! I’ll be ruined if you team up with him.”Maria glanced at Christian, observing him from head to toe. Then she laughed, “Hahaha... team up with this guy? Don’t underestimate me, Mr. Mateusz. I’m a top-rated artist loved by many men. If I were to collaborate with someone, at least I would choose a wealthy man, a tycoon.”“Mr. Mateusz, just look at the clothes he’s wearing. Are they from a famous brand or a world-class designer? I’m sure the suit he’s wearing c
Alex truly maximized his current network. He was no longer ashamed or hesitant to seek help from the US mafia network that controlled the area where Baltazar’s three television stations were located.Christian took the files given by Alex and began reading them.Darrell turned to Alex. Then he asked, “How did you get that information?”“I got it from Kenji, who rules the East region in central New York, and Yuuki, who rules the West region in east New York. I also sent my subordinates to find out directly at those television offices this morning,” explained Alex.Darrell was quite surprised to hear Alex’s answer, but then he smiled.Alex was the only leader willing to communicate directly and seek help from leaders in other regions. Typically, leaders would carry out their tasks alone, just like Alex did before when assigned to find two terrorists. Since heeding Christian’s advice, he had discarded all his ego and was willing to ask for help from leaders in other areas.“Do you want t
Abillio used to be Christian’s best friend. While people distanced themselves and mocked Christian, Abillio stood by him.However, something seemed to have changed, as Abillio’s attitude towards Christian had shifted. The man refused to meet Christian, suspecting that his high school friend was seeking a job from him.“But, sir, this person is the leader of CrispCrafter Ltd. It seems he has serious business with you,” the receptionist explained, whispering to avoid being overheard by Christian and Dorota.“What? Christian, the leader of CrispCrafter Ltd. ? Are you kidding me?” Abillio was shocked to hear Dorota’s revelation.“I’m serious, sir. Why would I lie to you?” She said, glancing at Christian.After a moment of thought, Abillio said, “Alright then, tell Christian to come into my office.”“Yes, sir.” The receptionist hung up the phone.The woman then approached Christian. She said, “Come, sir, I’ll take you to Mr. Abillio’s office.”Christian nodded with a smile, but Dorota rema
Christian was determined to destroy Baltazar to the core. He didn’t care about the money he would spend; he would pay whatever it took.“Are you serious about this, Christian?” Abillio asked once again to reassure himself.Dorota joined the conversation to convince Abillio to trust Christian’s words, “Mr. Abillio, I apologize for speaking up. Mr. Demetri cannot play games in this matter. What are you worried about, Mr. Abillio? Are you afraid Mr. Demetri will deceive you?”Abillio replied, “It’s only natural for me to ask; this is not a small amount of money we’re talking about. It takes billions to execute this plan. I’m just checking his readiness so that I won’t waste my time later on.”“I will pay it directly. How much do you need?” Christian asked.Once again, Abillio was surprised. After a moment of silence, Abillio then checked the current stock prices for TV 8.After getting the information, Abillio said, “It will take at least 200 billion in capital to pull this off. But don’
Yve’s tears made the atmosphere awkward. Lyka and Christian wanted to say something, but not a single word came out of their mouths.Christian touched Yve’s hand, busy wiping away her never-ending tears. However, Yve immediately pulled her hand away from Christian.With a sob, Yve said, “If you want to leave, just go, I won’t stop you. Take care of yourselves, don’t let the past repeat itself.”After saying that, Yve immediately stepped into the house.Christian tried to hold Yve’s hand; he still wanted to explain what happened to clarify this misunderstanding. But Yve pulled her hand so hard to free herself from Christian.“Sis, please listen to my explanation!” Lyka pleaded.But Yve ignored Lyka’s request to explain what actually happened. She then went straight into her room and locked the door.Certainly, in Yve’s room, she cried uncontrollably.Camila shook her head; she didn’t expect such an incident in her family, where siblings competed for a man.“You guys keep causing proble
Learning that the value of his stocks had once again fallen, even below their previous level, left Baltazar stunned.The fiery passion within him suddenly extinguished upon hearing the bad news.The man on the phone, the CEO of TV 8, spoke with a trembling voice out of fear, “A-after the sharp rise, it turns out they immediately cut ties above. And because many were eager to buy when the price was high, they eventually panicked and sold their stocks as quickly as possible to avoid too much loss, cut loss in trading language.”The CEO’s explanation, which should have been clear enough, didn’t sit well with Baltazar; those reasons were unacceptable to him.“Why did you just stand idly by when you knew the stocks were plummeting? Didn’t you make any effort to stop it? Then what’s the point of your work if you can’t anticipate something like this!” Baltazar raged.“I’m sorry, Mr. Baltazar, but the issue is beyond our control. Previously, the company had injected funds to stabilize the sto
Certainly, no one expected that he would come, as a very serious chaos was currently happening on TV 8. However, Baltazar came to TV 5 with a face full of anger.The major shareholders, whose shares had officially been sold to Mr. Demetri, had pale faces and trembling bodies. They were all afraid that Baltazar would go berserk and harm them.Baltazar stared sharply at Darrell and said, “Darrell, I thought we were very different tomorrow, but why did you do that? Why did you buy a television company? Isn’t it unrelated to your business at all?”Darrell casually replied, “So what? Is it harmful? I think I didn’t touch any of your parts.”“But you entered TV 5, where I am the largest shareholder. And with your presence, I can’t run my business smoothly,” said Baltazar.“If you object to no longer being the largest shareholder, you better sell it to me. I’ll gladly buy it,” Darrell said with a smiling face.Baltazar became more emotional hearing Darrell’s words. The man kicked an empty ch
Harming someone close to the enemy is a dirty tactic. However, it is somewhat effective and impactful in defeating a formidable foe.Baltazar contemplated this after realizing that touching Mr. Demetri was not an easy task.“Why are you still standing here? Quickly, assemble the troops right away!” Baltazar exclaimed.Deo bowed and said, “Yes, Sir. I will prepare the troops immediately.”Then Deo stepped out of the meeting room.Darrell got into the jeep and immediately contacted Christian to report the completion of his recent assignment.“Good afternoon, Mr. Demetri. I want to report that I have bought shares from the three main shareholders of TV 5,” Darrell explained.“Good, then. Everything went smoothly? Or were there any obstacles?” Christian asked.Darrell then recounted what happened when all the main shareholders signed the stock purchase documents, with Baltazar showing up and causing a scene.“So, he threw a fit? And what was his final response when you left?” “I just hea
