Sitting on the couch in the living room, I am watching the news. Scrolling down the website to check the news. I sighed when I saw the first news. It was about the hacking incident. Yeah, the same one when my hacker team hacked the shares. It’s been weeks, but the news was still hot. Many news channels showed the incident in repeat. The second news was about US presidential elections. It seems, election is like always, full of controversy. Sighing, I scrolled down and looked at the next news. It was about some prophecy of an asteroid hitting the earth and would cause destruction, blah, blah, blah.. I scrolled down.

The next news made my brows furrow. I clicked on the news. It had three million views, well since it is a famous news channel website. The title of the news was, ‘Virtual Reality : Product of Theft. ‘ This made me frown. I read the news. “This.. “ The news said about the announcement of Genesis Corporation and the guests were top businessmen and top families. It also had my details, and also the details about Genesis Corporation. This wasn’t what made me frown. It was two pieces of news .

The first one was about Alice. It said she used her beauty to pursue money. This made me angry. The second news made me even more angry. It said that my game, Nexus Online, the game the entire Genesis Corporation worked hard on, was a copy of Carson Enterprises, gaming department. This news... I had a guess on who was the person behind this news. It would obviously be James Carter. “That son of a b*tch.”, I sneered. My palms became white from how tightly I was holding the phone. He was trying to make my company lose its face.

My phone rang. It was Sarah who called me. I picked it up. She , in a serious voice, asked, “ I guess you have seen the news by now. “ I took a deep breath and asked , “How’s the department responsible doing? “ There was a long pause and Sarah finally said, “They are doing their best, but I don’t think they can control this. The news channel claims Carsons have a patent for Nexus Online. “ Frowning, I asked, “Which news channel is that? “ She replied, “CNN.” I was silent and picked the remote of my television. Turning it on, I switched to the CNN. The news was still live. The reporter continued to defame Genesis Corporation, saying it is a thief organization which only knows to steal the hard work of others. It was very clear that the reporter was trying his best to defame us. I picked up my phone and contacted the CNN directly. But no one picked up the call. I called Sarah and asked her to call for a press conference. And also reminded her to call all those channels that are defaming us right now. She agreed to do so. I dressed up in my room. Alice was sleeping, and I wasn’t in a mood to disturb her, since I want to solve this situation as soon as possible. If possible, today itself. ‘ This Carson, I have to find some way to deal with him. ‘, I thought. Many times, I even felt that I should just kill him. But I refrained from doing so, because even though I was angry, I am not a fool. If I were to kill him, I would be behind bars. I kissed the top of Alice’s head and stepped out of the room. Taking the car keys, I stepped out of the villa. Opening the garage, I clicked the button on the car key. The car beeped, and the door unlocked. Sitting inside, I left the villa and went straight to the Genesis Corporation.

As soon as I reached outside the Genesis Corporation, I saw the crowd of reporters and cameramen. As soon as they saw a familiar Aston Martin coming, they at once understood who was inside. They swarmed around the car. I pressed my horn multiple times and slowly entered the garage of the Genesis Corporation. I stepped inside the lift and pressed the three on the wall. Slowly, the lift started going upwards and finally reached the third floor.

Sarah was standing by the lift. When she saw the lift reached the third floor, she had already guessed it was none other than Mike. Because she had already seen Mike on the cameras.

As soon as my eyes fell on Sarah, I asked, “Call the reporters within fifteen minutes. I would meet them on the first floor. “ She nodded and rushed towards the lift. She pressed a button, the door closed and the number above the lift, which showed three before, started decreasing.

Jack stood by one of the cabin. He was gritting his teeth. I patted his shoulder. He said, “That b*tch. He is framing us for stealing something that we made originally. “ I nodded and said, “Don’t worry about it. We would clear our name and also show the Carter’s their place. “ When he heard this, he relaxed and nodded. I then said, “How is the development of the worlds going on? “ Jack said with pride clear in his voice, ”We have already made eight new worlds. We would make more new worlds in updates. So that the players won’t feel bored with passaging time. “ I nodded.

Then I said, “You said you have spies inside the Carter’s enterprises? “ Jack nodded. I asked, “Are they top officials?” Jack nodded again. I smiled and said, “Find out the evidence that it is the Carter’s who stole our game, not the other way. “ He nodded and said, “Don’t worry brother. Leave it to me. I would see this and find the evidence. “ I nodded and went to sit inside my office.

After fifteen minutes, I again entered the lift and pressed One on the wall. The door of the lift closed, and the lift started descending. Taking a deep breath, I stabilised my composure, to prevent myself from getting angry at those reporters. I did not need to listen to their questions or even answer them. I planned to say what I wanted.

I sat on the chair. There were many mics on the table. These mics belonged to various news and media channels. The reporters were about to ask something to me. But I raised my hands and asked, “Are we living? “ The reporters nodded. I smiled and said, “There is a good deal of fake news circulating that my company stole technologies and even the game isn’t ours. But I called upon this conference to speak the truth. Carter’s and Carson’s are enemies since the last sixty years. So there is no surprise that the Carter’s used such cruel tricks to defame me, the heir to Carson’s enterprises. But don’t worry, I know none of you would believe it. So wait for the evidences. We would post those online. Just wait for them. It won’t take over two days. “

With that, I got up from the chair and left the conference. The reporters were in an uproar. They started asking questions, but there was no one to give a reply to those questions.
