Yemin looked at Marcus Collins standing in the shadows of the underground parking garage and let out a derisive scoff. The appearance of Justin's enforcer was so predictable that it bordered on comedy.

"I should have known," Yemin said, shaking his head with disgust. "Even when you claim to want a fair fight, you still can't resist stacking the deck in your favor."

Justin spread his hands in a gesture of mock innocence. "What are you talking about? This is exactly what we agreed to – a final confrontation to settle our differences."

"A final confrontation between the two of us," Yemin corrected coldly. "Not between me and your personal attack dog."

"Personal attack dog?" Marcus Collins stepped forward, his enhanced physique evident even in the dim fluorescent lighting. "That's rich coming from someone who hides behind money and connections."

"At least I don't hide behind other people," Yemin shot back. "Tell me, Justin, are you that scared of losing to me that you brought your lapdog

    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,

    Marcus Chen stared at Marcus Collins across his office desk, the weight of impossible choices crushing down on him like a physical force. The threat to his family members hung in the air between them, more devastating than any weapon."You're talking about innocent children," Marcus said quietly, his voice hollow with defeat."I'm talking about collateral damage in a business transaction," Marcus Collins replied with cold indifference. "Nothing more, nothing less."Marcus Chen's hands trembled as he realized he had no choice. His pride, his loyalty to Yemin, his principles – none of it mattered when weighed against the lives of his daughters and grandchildren."If I sign over Group A," Marcus said slowly, "you'll leave my family alone?""Completely alone," Marcus Collins confirmed. "Your cooperation ensures their safety.""And if I refuse?""Then accidents start happening," Marcus Collins said with casual brutality. "Car crashes, home invasions, medical emergencies. Very tragic, very

    "If you came here to kill me, just get it over with," Marcus said with more courage than he felt. "But I'm not signing over Group A to Justin Castellanos.""Kill you?" Marcus Collins shook his head. "That would be wasteful. You're much more valuable alive and cooperative.""I'll never cooperate with murderers," Marcus declared."Never?" Marcus Collins's smile became predatory. "What if I told you that your refusal to cooperate would result in the deaths of several innocent people?""What are you talking about?" Marcus asked, though he already suspected where this was heading."I'm talking about Faye Langford," Marcus Collins said casually. "Pretty woman. Be a shame if something happened to her.""You bastard," Marcus whispered."I'm also talking about your three daughters," Marcus Collins continued with savage pleasure. "Sarah, Jennifer, and little Amy. Such beautiful girls. And their husbands seem like decent men. Good fathers to your grandchildren."Marcus Chen felt his world collap

    Even before the last handful of dirt was thrown onto Yemin Morgan's empty casket, Justin Castellanos's legal team was already in motion across the city.Armed with forged documents and fabricated claims, they descended upon the various enterprises that comprised Yemin's business empire like vultures circling fresh carrion.The smaller companies fell quickly. CEOs who had built their careers on avoiding confrontation and maintaining the status quo found themselves overwhelmed by aggressive lawyers wielding threats of lawsuits, regulatory investigations, and financial ruin."Mr. Peterson," the lead attorney said to the CEO of Morgan Tech Solutions, "our client is prepared to purchase your company for twenty cents on the dollar. Consider it a generous offer given the legal complications surrounding your late employer's estate.""Twenty cents?" Peterson sputtered. "This company is worth hundreds of millions!""Was worth hundreds of millions," the lawyer corrected coldly."Now it's a liabi

    The morning of Yemin Morgan's funeral dawned gray and overcast, as if the weather itself was mourning the loss of the enigmatic billionaire. Alcat Cemetery had been transformed for the occasion, with hundreds of floral arrangements surrounding an ornate mahogany casket that would soon be lowered into the earth.Justin Castellanos stood at the front of the gathered crowd, his expression a masterpiece of controlled grief. Beside him, other high-ranking members of the Sphinx organization maintained similarly sorrowful facades, playing their roles to perfection."Such a tragic loss," Salvatore Greco said loudly enough for nearby mourners to hear. "Yemin was taken from us far too soon.""A brilliant mind silenced forever," Lorenzo Romano added with theatrical sadness.The hypocrisy was nauseating to anyone who knew the truth, but the assembled crowd of business leaders, politicians, and media representatives bought every word of it.Faye Langford stood toward the back of the gathering, her
