The following day, Justin was already in his office. He had this air of renewed focus around him. Probably because he knows that his conflict with Meeky and his new ally, Victor Kyros, had now turned into a high stakes game. He could not afford to be nonchalant about the whole thing and every step he took needs to be very calculated like pieces on a chessboard.This morning, he was prepared to started some series of tactical maneuvers that would keep Meeky and Kyros on the defensive.Justin started by calling Mark, his ever trusted assistant and his team to talk about his strategy. He told them of his plan that has a lot of pieces to it, each one of them designed to keep Kyros off balance and make Meeky try to make more rash decisions and moves. Justin did not just want to win, whatever he was doing was trying to make it very hard for his opponents so that both of them would have to start questioning the partnership that brought them together in the first place.“Kyros seems like a ma

Justin's victory over Meeky and Victor Kyros appears definite but Justin knew that people like Kyros does not let slight go away easily. He knew one day he would be back to have his pound of flesh. About Meeky, he is not bothered. He has nothing to trouble Justin anymore and if he dares again, he is as good as dead.He tried to gather more information about Kyros. For someone like him who operates a crime syndicate on an international level, Justin knew there has to be more to him than meet the eye. In the process of getting more information about him, Justin came across something.One evening, while he was reviewing important files and encrypted information, his team uncovered a strange pattern in the Kyros moves his money. At first look, it appears like a series of standard business transactions. But when they analyzed it further, it was seen that it has suspicious connection to a series of shell companies that are registered in different countries, each of them linked to high stake

But Justin himself knew that people like Victor Kyros do not just go down like that. Yes, he had some victory over him as regards weakening his business but that was just a part of it. It was not everything he owns. He does not expect him to put all his eggs in one basket. Therefore, if Kyros would plan a retaliatory attack, he had better be prepared for it. But he could not do it on his own, regardless of his vast resources. Kyros had a network of solid political connections. Justin needed to have an ally with similar powers if he would be able to go to war with Kyros and win. He also needed someone with both insight and influence in the underworld.It was then he remembered Victor Hale, a formidable business mogul who also have a pound of flesh to collect from Victor Kyros. Hale is known for his relentless pursuit of anyone who dares to cross him and luckily for Justin, they both share a common adversary in form of Kyros. The history of Kyros and Hale is a bit complicated but Justin

As Justin's alliance with Victor got deeper and stronger, the combination of their efforts started having a devastating toll on Kyros's underworld dealings. Each of the onslaught and well timed leaks had made his network weak, spreading confusion and some fear among his associates. His power was gradually dwindling. As this was happening, there was Meeky who did not want to accept that he had been defeated by Justin. He still believed he could turn things around. He decided to use the last of his resources by trying to persuade the rest of his loyal friends in a bid to turn the tables on Justin.Information like that could not pass Justin by as his contacts had gotten wind of it and sent him a report that Meeky was mobilizing support again to get back at him. Justin only sighed and thought why Meeky would not just back down. The rest of his family are not even in the picture anymore. Why was he still adamant? Did he not see that he already lost? But he was not fazed. Obviously, Meeky

Although Justin believed in his strength and that of his alliance with Victor Hale, there was this tension he could not get out of his mind days after he formulated a plan with Victor to take down Meeky's new faction. He had been thinking, going over his plan carefully in his mind again, planning each step with the precision of a chess master. He had already destroyed the alliance of Kyros and Meeky but now that it seems Meeky does not want to back down, he needed something that would make him forget the idea of ever wanting to fight him again.He was in his office when his new Ally, Victor Hale, entered one afternoon, he was holding a file. Justin had given him access due to his alliance with him. He had a triumphant look on as he came in. He handed the file to Justin as his excitement was evident. “We have it Justin.” Victor said with a low voice but it was filled with satisfaction. “We have what we finally need.”Justin was curious, he opened the file and looked at the contents.
