The room erupted the moment the chairman's words landed. Several shareholders exchanged stunned looks while Misha stood motionless, his eyes fixed on Scott as though waiting for someone to tell him this was a joke. Scott simply stood there, his hands relaxed at his sides, watching Misha's confidence collapse in real time. The sudden revelation had completely changed the atmosphere in the room.Just then, without any hesitation, after a brief silence.“You're lying,” Misha said. The chairman shook his head. “I am not.” Misha's expression hardened as he asked, “Then who is he?” The chairman glanced at Scott before answering calmly, “Scott Bruce.”The name spread through the room as some investors immediately tried to recognize him but they couldn't. Misha's face became pale as he stared at Scott, seemingly unable to accept what he was hearing. “No,” he muttered, shaking his head slightly. Scott looked at him and answered, “Yes.”Misha took a step backward. “You were…” he began, but his

Scott, still silent on the other end, immediately recognized the caller. “Hello commissioner Alfred” he answered.“Someone wants your order to be broken. I'm instructed to release them”Scott's expression darkened. “Who's that?. I don't care who asked them to be set free, but respect and obey my order”“Yes master”. He said and ended the call.**************************Morning arrived with unusual speed. By noon, the hotel was ready to be used. The event hall had been transformed into a formal reception venue, with U&C shareholders arriving in expensive cars while security personnel checked every entrance. Misha stood beneath the chandeliers and greeted each guest with a smile that grew wider whenever another influential investor entered. “This is going exactly as planned,” he whispered.His secretary approached. “Mr Misha, most of the shareholders have arrived.” Misha nodded. “Good.” The secretary hesitated before adding, “There's only one issue.”Misha frowned. “What?” The secreta

Inside Scott's apartment, it was usually quiet that night. Scott sat alone in the room while the city lights flickered beyond the windows, and the documents from U&C lay open across the table.The soft light from the lamp fell across the papers as Scott carefully went through each document, his expression calm and focused.Recall, before he left, he was given some materials to study about the company and how the company's operations worked. He had spent the past hour studying the company structure and had discovered that his new position gave him more influence than he initially expected. The more he read, the more he understood the importance of his position within the company. He occasionally stopped to read certain sections twice, making sure he understood everything clearly before moving to the next page.Scott leaned back slightly in his chair and rubbed his chin. There was no doubt that tomorrow's event was going to be interesting. He already knew Misha was preparing for it, bu

At about exactly 5pm, as the day starts getting darker, with no less than 10 hours for tomorrow's event. Misha's heart grew more anxious as he flipped his watch to check the time again.Suddenly without any warning, his phone rang, while standing in front of his office window. He had been waiting for information about Zaha for hours, and the moment his phone rang, he answered without even checking the number.“Where is he?” he asked effortlessly as he placed the phone in his ear The voice on the other end replied carefully, without any delay. “We found him.”Misha's shoulders relaxed. His eyes gleamed, his leg became still right on that spot. His expression changes automatically with such joy that one could easily read it.“Where?. And what's the overall information”His expression still remained calm and joyous, but it only lasted for some seconds. In the next few seconds, the answer made his expression change totally without a second thought.“A secure detention facility.”For a mo

The news spread through the U&C building faster among the staff than anyone expected. Within minutes, executives who had ignored Scott earlier were suddenly appearing outside the meeting room, desperate to understand who had just transferred three billion dollars into their company. Scott remained seated while the chairman reviewed the transaction documents for the third time. He slowly checked and read every detail including the transaction out to all the other shareholders to know and then cast it on the projector.“Everything is legitimate, we're good to go now.” the chairman finally said.One shareholder shook his head. “This doesn't make sense.” Another shareholder frowned as he looked at Scott.“What doesn't?” Scott asked. “A man dressing like this without thinking twice and yet suddenly transfers three billion dollars?”Scott looked at him. “Is there a problem with my clothes?” The man immediately became quiet. The chairman cleared his throat. “Mr. Scott, according to the agr
