CHAPTER 26
Bio-Tech Headquarters - Boardroom.The glass walled boardroom was so thick with tension that a blade could easily slice through. The long, polished mahogany table reflected the grim faces of Bio - tech’s most powerful investors, their murmurs sharp with disagreement. At the head of the table, Mr Stewart sat with his fingers crossed tightly together and his expression unreadable. To his right, Simeon leaned back in his chair with his jaw clenched tightly. To his left, Richard tapped his pen continuously against the table as his eyes scans the room like a hawk.One of the investors, a silver haired man with a goatee and a scowl on his face, slammed his palm angrily on the table.“This is total madness!” He barked. “We already own three skyscrapers….two of which are sitting half empty! What the hell do we need another one for?”A younger investor, a woman with a sharply cut bob hair and a even more sharper tongue, argued immediately. “it is not about need. It is about power. The Lawson T
CHAPTER 25
The morning sun seeped through the high windows of Mike’s office, casting long shadows over the polished mahogany desk. He leaned back in his chair, fingers crossed, watching the busy city roared beneath him—his city, or at least, it would be soon….very soon.Then, suddenly the door burst wide open.Carter, his assistant, his usual calm face replaced with urgency, strode in with a tablet in his tight fisted grip. His tie was slightly askew and it was a rare crack in his normally composed composure.“Sir,” Carter said, his voice tight. “Cole’s out on bail.”Mike didn’t blink. He simply smirked and swirled the amber liquid in his glass, then he muttered. “Expected.”The system screen appeared suddenly in his vision, it’s neon letters burning into his retinas…[Task: Acquire the Lawson Skyscraper….Progress: 60%][Warning: Opposition Mobilization.][Sub - Task: Neutralize Stewart’s Financial Sabotage.]Carter hesitated for a minute, then added, “Simeon and Lillian were photographed leav
CHAPTER 24
Bio- tech Headquarters—Simeon’s Office.The sleek glass doors of Simeon’s office burst open with a force that rattled the framed paintings on the wall and Richard stormed in, his usually composed face twisted in fury with a tablet clutched in his fist.“We have a problem,” he snarled, slamming the device on Simeon’s desk. The screen displaying a breaking news alert….BIO TECH CFO RICHARD COLE ARRESTED AT AUSTRA GALA ON FRAUD CHARGES - WHISTLEBLOWER MICHEAL ROBINSON LINKED TO INVESTIGATION.Simeon’s blood ran cold instantly as his fingers curled into fists. He scanned the headline again, as if the words might rearrange themselves into something less catastrophic. But as it didn’t, he looked up with his face scrunched up in anger.“What the hell is this?” He hissed.Richard’s jaw clenched. “Our financial advisor just got paraded out of Robinson’s charity event in handcuffs. And guess who orchestrated the whole damn thing?”Simeon didn’t need to guess. The answer was obvious in the smir
CHAPTER 23
The static screen appeared suddenly in Mike’s vision, it’s glowing letters almost burning, searing into his mind like a band that can’t be taken off…[Level 6][Task: Acquire the Lawson Skyscraper…][Status: Ongoing…][Reward: 600 coins..][Coins: 900][Note: Coins must be withdrawn before commencement of new task.]900 coins.900 million dollars.That is a fortune that could reshape empires. And now, the system demanded more—the Lawson skyscraper.Mike exhaled sharply as his fingers tightened around the tablet. The game wasn’t over. It was escalating. And he has to be on top of the game or everything he has worked for will be reduced to shit.He snatched his phone and dialed Mr Austin’s number before the screen could fade.“Lawson Skyscraper,” Mike said the moment the line connected, his voice low and deliberate, so as not startle the old man or make him uncomfortable. “What do you know about it?”A pause. Then Mr Austin replied cautiously, “it’s up for bid. Why?”“I want it.”A
CHAPTER 22
Bio-Tech Headquarters - Executive Office.The air in Mr Stewart’s office was thick with tension. Thick enough for a knife to slice through. The blinds were drawn, thereby casting long shadows over the huge mahogany desk where Mr Stewart sat, with his fingers steepled tightly and his jaw clenched. Across from him, Simeon and Richard stood rigid, with their faces tight with unease. Two of Bio - tech’s most powerful investors—Mr Victor Langley and Mr Daniel Hargrove sat in the plush chairs, their expressions were unreadable.The huge muted television in the corner replayed Mike’s press conference repeatedly, his voice slicing through the silence like a sharp blade.“Because certain people at Bio-tech would rather see me dead than lose control of my company.”Mr Stewart’s eye twitched angrily.Mr Victor Langley, a silver haired man with piercing grey eyes, leaned forward and said contemptuously, “This is a disaster, Stewart. The stock has plummeted 40% in the last three hours. The board i
CHAPTER 21
The new safe house was more cold than the last….it’s sleek, glass walled penthouse with a great view of the city’s busy street. Mike stood by the high windows, his reflection was a ghostly shadow against the dimly lit chandeliers. His fingers drummed repeatedly against the glass as he sighed restlessly.They tried to kill me. The thought burned in his heart like flame. And now, it is my turn.Behind him, Carter stood bent over a laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he pulled up files from the encrypted USB. Mr Austin paced restlessly nearby, his phone pressed firmly to his ear, barking orders continuously to the security teams. Mr Anderson stood silently by the door, his arms crossed and his gaze sharp enough to cut through steel.“Got it,” Carter announced happily as he pushed his glasses up his nose. “Stewart’s offshore accounts, shell companies and…oh….the kickbacks from Bio-tech’s ‘accidental’ drug trail failures. The man’s been lining his pockets while patients dies.
