He did not wait for Peter to ask for help.He's not going to call me, Joshua thought, closing the folder. He never does. Doesn't mean I wait for permission to act.After hearing the names connected to the attack, his expression changed."Read this again," Joshua said to Monica's counterpart on his own team, tapping a list of names cross-referenced against the previous day's investors. His expression darkened as recognition settled over him. "These are the same men from yesterday's meeting."He gave Monica no call and asked Peter no questions.Joshua didn't reach for his phone. He simply set the report aside and rose from his chair.Instead, he ordered his security team to find the people responsible."Find them," Joshua said, his voice flat and cold. "Tonight. I want to know exactly where they're gathering."Within the hour, his security chief returned with an address. "They're meeting at a private club downtown. All three of yesterday's investors, plus two others.""Good," Joshua sai

The news about Peter's company spread quickly the next morning. The attack on his warehouse, the fake documents, and the investigation had already become the main topic among several business circles."Every outlet's running some version of it," an assistant said, sliding a stack of clippings across Peter's desk. "'Bertan Industries Linked to Illegal Importation.' It's everywhere."Peter barely glanced at the headlines, his jaw tight.At the Betham family residence, some of his relatives did not even bother hiding their amusement."Well, well," his cousin Harold said, lounging in the family's sitting room when Peter stopped by that evening to check on his elderly aunt. "The great businessman finally falls flat on his face."They mocked him and asked who was standing behind him now."Where's your little friend now, Peter?" Harold continued, smirking. "The famous Joshua Hart. I heard he was so impressive at that meeting yesterday. Funny how none of that impressiveness seems to be helpin

They were not part of the investigation."Everyone down!" one of them shouted, and the federal investigators scattered in confusion, several drawing their own weapons, clearly as caught off guard as Peter's own staff.They forced their way inside and began attacking Peter's security personnel.Two of Peter's guards moved to intercept them and were shoved violently against a stack of crates, one crumpling to the floor from a blow to the stomach, the other wrestled to the ground within seconds.Chaos erupted as employees ran for safety.Screams echoed through the warehouse as workers scattered, diving behind pallets and machinery, overturned equipment clattering across the concrete floor.Peter was pushed against a vehicle while trying to get his people out, and one of the attackers warned him that he should have accepted the investment deal when he had the chance.A gloved hand shoved Peter hard against the side of a parked truck, pinning him there with bruising force."You should've s

The evening after the disastrous investment meeting, Peter returned to his company expecting everything to return to normal. He was still amused by how badly the investors had failed, especially after Joshua exposed their financial problems, the memory of their stunned, speechless faces replaying pleasantly in his mind the entire drive back."Can't stop thinking about their faces," Peter said to himself, chuckling as he stepped out of the elevator onto his executive floor, loosening his tie as he walked.His mood changed when he discovered that several senior employees were gathered outside his office, looking frightened, their voices hushed and urgent as they noticed him approaching."Peter," his operations manager said, hurrying toward him, her face pale, clutching a tablet against her chest, "we have a serious problem.""What happened?" Peter asked, his amusement vanishing instantly.A major shipment belonging to his company had suddenly been stopped at the port, and the authoritie

Peter immediately stood up for Joshua."Watch your mouth," Peter said, rising sharply from his chair. He told the man that Joshua had done more for his company in a few minutes than their entire investment team had done during weeks of negotiations. "Joshua's done more for my company in the last five minutes than your entire investment team managed in weeks of negotiations. If anyone's wasted my time here, it's you."The investors became even more hostile."Sit down, Bertan," the lead investor snapped, his composure cracking.One of them made a gesture toward the security guards standing near the entrance, and several men immediately moved toward Joshua.The second investor flicked two fingers toward the door, and three guards stationed near the entrance began moving, closing the distance toward Joshua with slow, deliberate steps.Peter stepped in front of Joshua and warned them not to touch him."Don't," Peter said, stepping bodily between Joshua and the approaching men, his voice ha

The following morning, Joshua arrived at his company expecting an ordinary workday. Instead, he found Peter already waiting in his office."You're here early," Joshua said, setting down his briefcase, glancing at the clock."Couldn't sleep," Peter admitted, rising from the chair, dark circles visible beneath his eyes.Peter had come directly from his own company after receiving an unexpected proposal from an international investment group that wanted to acquire a large stake in his business."An investment group approached me yesterday evening," Peter said, sliding a thick document across the desk. "Wants to acquire a significant stake in my company. Showed up almost out of nowhere."The offer was unusually generous, but the investors had refused to reveal who was actually funding the deal."The offer's generous," Peter continued, dropping back into the chair. "Unusually generous, honestly. But when I asked who was actually funding it, they wouldn't say. Kept deflecting every time I p
