On the 100th floor, Justin Castellanos stood near the elevator shaft, his voice echoing down to the trapped passengers below.

"Don't worry!" Justin called out loudly. "I'm going to get help right now! Just hold on down there!"

His words carried the tone of genuine concern and urgency, but his actions told a completely different story. Instead of rushing toward the building's communication systems or emergency controls, Justin began examining the elevator's mechanical housing with calculating eyes.

"This is perfect," Justin muttered to himself, his facade of concern dropping entirely now that he was alone. "I never thought I'd get a chance like this to take out Yemin. The earthquake practically handed me the opportunity on a silver platter."

He located the main cable housing and began working to disengage the primary support system. The elevator was currently being held by both the main cables and emergency brake systems, but Justin was confident he could find a way to disable both.

    Meanwhile, Marcus Collins had pursued Yemin into the wide corridor that led to the executive elevators. The space was elegant and spacious, with marble floors and expensive artwork lining the walls."Yemin!" Marcus Collins shouted. "Stop right there!"Yemin paused and turned around slowly, his expression one of mild curiosity rather than concern. "Did you want something, Marcus?""I want to know how you're still alive," Marcus Collins demanded, his enhanced physique coiled with tension."You want to know how I survived your pathetic attempt to kill me?" Yemin asked with amusement."It wasn't pathetic," Marcus Collins protested. "We kicked you into a pit and buried you under forty stories of concrete and steel. Nobody could survive that.""You're right," Yemin agreed. "Nobody could survive that. But then again, I'm not nobody.""That's impossible," Marcus Collins said, though doubt was creeping into his voice."The only thing that's impossible is your competence," Yemin replied with cu

    After Yemin's devastating exit, Justin Castellanos and Marcus Collins exchanged a look that spoke volumes. The shock of seeing a man they had personally killed was beginning to wear off, replaced by something far more dangerous – wounded pride and burning humiliation.Just minutes ago, they had been the undisputed masters of the situation, with an entire boardroom of powerful people hanging on their every word. Now they had been publicly dismissed and called cowards by the very man they thought they had eliminated."This isn't over," Justin said through gritted teeth, his face flushed with rage and embarrassment."Not even close," Marcus Collins agreed, his enhanced muscles tensing with barely controlled violence.Justin turned back to Marcus Chen, who was still sitting in stunned silence, processing the miraculous return of his employer and friend."Marcus," Justin commanded, his voice sharp with desperation, "I want you to draft another contract immediately. Make it identical to the

    The whispered conversation was driving Justin insane with curiosity and frustration, but he didn't dare interrupt what was clearly a private moment between the two men.Yemin straightened up and picked up the contract that Marcus Chen had been about to sign. Without ceremony, he began tearing it into pieces, each rip echoing through the silent boardroom like a gunshot."This piece of garbage," Yemin said as he shredded the documents, "represents everything that's wrong with predatory business practices."Justin watched in horror as months of planning and legal maneuvering were literally torn to pieces before his eyes. "You can't do that!" he protested. "That's a legally binding contract!""Was a legally binding contract," Yemin corrected, letting the shredded remains fall to the floor like confetti. "Now it's just recycling."With the contract destroyed, Yemin turned to Faye, who was still sitting in stunned silence, tears streaming down her face. Her emotional state was clearly overw

    The boardroom fell into a silence so profound that the sound of the air conditioning seemed deafening.Every person in the room stared at Yemin Morgan as if they were witnessing a resurrection, their minds struggling to process what their eyes were telling them.Shock registered first on their faces, followed quickly by disbelief.Several shareholders rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were experiencing some kind of collective hallucination.The man they had just attended a funeral for was standing before them, very much alive and radiating an aura of controlled power.Fear came next, particularly for those who knew what his return meant for their schemes and betrayals. Panic followed close behind as the implications of his survival began to sink in.Justin Castellanos was the first to recover some semblance of composure, though his face had gone deathly pale and his hands were trembling slightly."This... this is impossible," he whispered.Marcus Collins remained frozen in his chai

    Despite the overwhelming opposition from the other shareholders, Faye refused to back down. Her eyes blazed with defiance as she turned toward Marcus Chen, expecting him to stand with her against this blatant theft."Marcus might have intimidated these cowards," Faye said, gesturing dismissively at the other shareholders, "but Marcus Chen won't cave to such a pathetic demand. Will you, Marcus?"But when she looked at Marcus Chen for support, she found him staring at the table, unable to meet her eyes. His shoulders were slumped in defeat, and his face carried the haunted expression of a man who had already surrendered."Marcus?" Faye pressed, her voice becoming desperate. "Tell them this is insane. Tell them we're not selling Group A to this criminal."Marcus Chen finally raised his head, but the look in his eyes was one of broken resignation. "The fight is over, Faye," he said quietly. "Now we have to think about survival."The words hit Faye like a physical blow. She stared at Marcu

    The statement sent shockwaves through the conference room. Several shareholders began talking at once, their voices rising in confusion and alarm."Purchase Group A?" William Peterson demanded. "Marcus, what the hell are you talking about?""The offer is for two billion dollars," Marcus continued mechanically, as if reading from a script."Two billion?" Sarah Wellington laughed incredulously. "Group A is worth at least twenty billion. That's not an offer, it's an insult."Marcus Collins leaned forward slightly in his chair, catching Marcus Chen's eye with a meaningful look that made the CEO's face go pale."The market valuation of Group A has changed significantly since Yemin Morgan's death," Justin said calmly. "Regulatory investigations, legal challenges, and investor uncertainty have created substantial liability issues.""What regulatory investigations?" demanded another shareholder."The ones that will be announced next week," Justin replied with a cold smile. "Unless, of course,
