Chapter 401: More Allies and Defenses.
Later that day, Justin sat at his desk, his screen was filled with the familiar faces of businesses men who are also his partners, influential philanthropists, and civic leaders who valued his foundation's work. He was in a virtual meeting with all of them. He spoke to them candidly about about Hillman's interference and the potential risks it posed to their combined efforts.“We can not afford to let Hillman monopolize those areas. Our communities deserve better and real opportunities, not exploitative business that only serve it's owner's interest.” Justin said with a firm tone.The meeting was agog with different discussions as they talked about the various ways they could support each other. Some even offered to promote Justin's intiatives within their circle, while others pledged to help him with funding and resources to expand the community projects faster before Hillman could make further moves to obstruct it. They ended the call with a renewed commitment to the foundation's m

Few days later, there was a community meeting where both Justin and Hillman were invited to be part of. It took place in a cozy boardroom in one of the community Hall in the neighbourhood. The meeting was organized by the local leaders of the community to address the future of what appears to be the several lucrative ventures in the neighborhood, which had drawn interest from influential figures in the city such as Justin and his new rival, Conrad Hillman. When Justin got the invitation, he knew the meeting would be a defining moment in his fight for control over Hillman. So he accepted and hope to outmaneuver Hillman and win over the leaders of the community without exposing his long time plans.At the meeting, Justin took his seat at the table’s end, waiting for others to settle in. His seat was just directly across that of Hillman's. They looked at each other and exchanged a brief, icy nod, a silent acknowledgement of the clash of power that would soon happen. Justin remained calm

Her name is Sarah. He turned to her to talk.“Sarah.” Justin said as he addressed her directly. “You have overseen several successful partnerships with the city. Could you share some of the benefits you have seen so far from this model?”Sarah looked at him and nodded, her respect for Justin was evident. “In my experience, public-private partnerships have not only increased our funding options but it has also reduced our operational costs through incentives. And when we involve the public sector, we have gained a lot of valuable insights and strengthened our community relationships. I believe this could be a good and strategic move.”The board listened attentively as Sarah spoke, everything she said seems to endorse Justin's proposal. Justin could see that the energy in the room had shifted, there were people who had been swayed by Hillman who were now reconsidering, obviously seeing the broader value and sense in Justin's approach.Hillman noticed that his initial grip on the room wa

After that meeting, Justin doubled down on his efforts to safeguard his foundation and personal ambitions. Every piece of information and every tactic be had collected, led to this moment. One where his philanthropic vision and hard won business interests hung in the balance. Conrad Hillman's efforts to undermine Justin had been relentless but Justin always find a way to counter him in a meticulously crafted manner. The day started with Justin giving his closest team one last briefing. Mark stood by his side, ever ready to jump on any task his boss wants him to do. They reviewed everything one last time, making sure that every contingency had been addressed. This was not just about preserving his foundation or securing his investments, it is about solidifying a legacy that would stand against corruption and abuse of power anytime.Justin's plan actually hinged on one last meeting which would comprise of investors, board members and city officials. Hillman had been trying to sway the

Justin stood at the corner of a bustling street, his school bag slung lazily over one shoulder. At fifteen years of age, he already had a sharpness in his eyes that betrayed a mind far very older than his age. As at the time most teenagers were worried about their grades or fitting in, Justin found himself fascinating by the rhythm of the city, its symphony of chaos, ambition, and opportunity.It was on one of such days that he stumbled upon an unusual scene while running a routine errand for his father and he did not want to take the family's car. A black sedan care was parked idly outside a quiet cafe, its tinted windows reflected the golden afternoon sun. A well dressed man came out with an aura that exuded authority. He exchanged a thick envelope with another man, who grinned and pocketed the bundle. He was rough around the edges. Justin was standing nearby and he could not help but observe. The scene made a distinct impression on him even if it was quite quick and short.The rou

One faithful evening, Lang gave him a sealed envelope. “Deliver this to the tailor on Fifth street. Do not ask questions, and do not let anyone see it.” He said.Justin looked at the envelope, collected it as his heart raced. His instinct told him this was not an ordinary delivery, somehow, he also knew that this was a test. He nodded at Lang afyer collecting the envelope and set off for the tailor's shop.The walk from the cafe to the tailor's shop felt longer than it should have as every look from the passerbys made him paranoid. When he finally got to the tailor's shop, he saw him, went to him and handed him the envelope, the tailor looked at him and collected the envelope, nodding at him and putting it in his pocket.Justin then turned around to return to the cafe to meet Lang.“Good work boy” Lang said when Justin had gotten back to him. “Now tell me, what did you observe on the way to the tailor's shop?”Justin hesistated, then started remembering the details, those who had look

In a run down warehouse, Justin was pacing around in the cramped office, his sharp eyes darting between the two men seated opposite each other. On one side is Marcus, seated, a small-time gang leader who is known for his fiery temper. Across from him was Leo, a rival enforcer from a neighboring territory. In between them lay a pile of cash which was the Crux of their dispute.“Both of you are wasting time and resources over this.” Justin told them calmly as his voice cut through the rising tension in the place. At the age of sixteen, his presence was commanding. This came by as a result of the lessons he had taken from Lang and the natural confidence he had and beginning to show off.Marcus stared at Leo with his fists clenched together. “He shorted me on the last deal. That money is mine.”Leo scoffed in his seat. “You are delusional. I delivered to you everything we agreed on. If anything, you owe me.”The air was filled with hate but Justin was not moved. To him, what is happening

“You are like a sponge.” Marcus said one evening when he was reviewing his gang's ledger with Justin. “Most kids your age would not even know what to do with this kind of information.”“Well, most kids are not me.” Justin replied with a smirk.Marcus laughed as he patted him on the back.“That is fair enough. Just do not get too cocky. This world does not forgive mistakes.”It was not long before Marcus, who had grown fond of Justin, started entrusting him with small tasks which involved organizing shipments, mediating minor disputes among his gang members, and even advising him on expansion strategies. Justin's knack for problem solving and his cool composure earned him a reputation quickly.One of Marcus's men remarked one day after Justin successfully negotiated a deal with a rival gang. “That kid is very sharp. He is got more brains than many of us put together.”Marcus grinned as he heard that. “That is why he is going places.”With Marcus's endorsement, certain doors started ope
Chapter 409: The Test
In a dimly lit warehouse, there were buzzing sounds from low voices and the occasional clang of metal. Marcus is leaning against a stack of crates with a cigar in between his fingers as he watch Justin with a look that is appraising.“I have got a job for you Justin.” He said as he blows a puff of smoke into the stale air.Justin turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow. “What kind of job is that?”Marcus pointed to a small and battered briefcase lying on the table. “This needs to get to Rico. He oversees things over in Southside. Let us just say the tensions between us have been…..high of late. This delivery is supposed to smooth things over, act as a peace offering.”“What do you mean mean supposed to? Justin asked him as he noted the deliberate phrasing of his words.Marcus looked at him again and chuckled. “Rico does not trust easily and quite frankly, I do not blame him. That case is the first step now that he has agreed to hear me out. The problem now is, getting to his territo

Justin met Rico's gaze without flinching even a bit as he replied. “Because he knows that trust is more valuable than money. He is not looking for a fight. He is hoping both of you could be allies. This is his way of proving he is serious about it.”Rico smirked as he tapped the letter against the table. “You have got a silver tongue kid. I will give you that. But actions speaks louder than words. If you want to trust Marcus, then you will have to prove it.” Rico's challenge was rather quick and unexpected. One of his men stepped forward, he was built like a hulk. His name was Victor.“We have got a problem.” Rico said as he pointed towards Victor. “One of our supply routes got hit last week. I want you to find out who dit it.”Justin stared at him hard, almost frowning. “And how am I supposed to do that?”“That is your problem. Figure it out. Think of it as a test. If you succeed, then we can talk.” Rico replied him with a grin.Justin did not try to argue with him. He understood t
