Moments ago, these same people had used his daughter as a bargaining chip. They had spoken with arrogance, threatened him and believed themselves untouchable. Now, they knelt in pools of blood, offering everything they owned in exchange for a single chance to survive. At the center of their desperate cries, Conor finally spoke. “You say you’re willing to offer sincerity in exchange for your lives.” His voice was soft. “So tell me…” He looked directly into Mike’s terrified eyes. “How can you prove it?” Mike’s breathing hitched. He opened and closed his mouth several times before suddenly shouting, “We’ll give you Titan Group!” The entire room went silent. Even the Winston family members looked at him in shock. “M-Mike!” the old woman exclaimed. “Titan Group?” Mike gritted his teeth and nodded. “Yes!” He turned back toward Conor and lowered his head deeply. “The Winston family is the true backer behind Titan Group. We’ve controlled it from behind the scenes for yea

The next morning, Golden Sparrow City was in complete chaos. Everywhere people gathered—on busy streets, inside cafés, in office buildings, and even during taxi rides—there was only one topic of discussion. No one could believe what they were hearing. Titan Group was one of the largest and most powerful corporations in the country. Its influence stretched across finance, real estate, technology, and international trade. For decades, it had stood at the top of the business world, seemingly untouchable. A company of that magnitude changing owners overnight was unimaginable. It was the kind of news that could shake the entire business community. “What did you say?” a man in a suit asked, frozen as he stared at his phone. “Titan Group changed ownership?” “Yes!” his assistant nodded quickly. “The chairman announced it last night!” Another employee leaned in, his voice trembling. “Not just that… they said all major decisions now need approval from a new owner.” “A new owne

The peaceful silence in the room was suddenly interrupted. Ring… Ring… Conor’s phone vibrated in his pocket. Olivia looked up. “Aren’t you going to answer it?” she asked softly. Conor glanced at the screen before standing up. “I’ll be right back.” He answered the call. “Good morning, Sir,” Mike’s respectful voice came from the other end. “Good morning,” Conor replied calmly. “What do you want?” “Sir, everything has been arranged.” Conor remained silent, waiting for him to continue. “The transfer documents have all been completed. As instructed, Miss Olivia is now the new owner of Titan Group.” Conor nodded faintly. “Good.” Mike quickly added, “Sir, if there’s anything else you need, please don’t hesitate to tell me. The Winston family will do everything in our power to carry it out.” Conor didn’t respond. He simply ended the call. Click. Putting the phone back into his pocket, he turned around. Olivia was looking at him curiously. “Who was that?” “A friend of mine

Olivia noticed it immediately and heart skipped a beat. “W-Why did everyone wait for me?” She whispered the question to Conor. He only smiled. “You’ll find out.” Olivia stared at him. “What is going on?” Conor calmly took the seat beside her. “Just listen.” She looked around the room again. Dozens of executives were looking toward her. Some were curious, some looked nervous and others simply remained expressionless. Olivia suddenly felt incredibly uncomfortable. “I feel like everyone’s staring at me.” “They are.” “Conor…” “I’m serious.” “So am I.” She wanted to ask another question. Just then— Mike slowly stood up. He adjusted his suit and looked around the conference room. The room instantly became silent. “Ladies and gentlemen,” Mike began. “Thank you all for coming on such short notice.” Everyone turned their attention toward him. “As many of you already know…” “Yesterday, Titan Group underwent a complete transfer of ownership.” A
