CHAPTER 183:Faces Behind The Shadows
The three men who are the faceless figures who had manipulated the Brown Empire for decades sat down for another meeting,as Ven is far becoming a thorn in their flesh. To the world, they were titans of influence in separate domains. In reality, they were the silent architects of chaos.The first anonymous Kand, President of Kand Media Group and Davis father-in-law,leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest. His sharp suit and meticulously combed silver hair gave him the appearance of a respectable businessman, but his eyes were cold, calculating. His media empire had the power to destroy reputations overnight,a tool he had wielded ruthlessly for years.The second anonymous, Geli Farrow, a seasoned politician whose career spanned decades, sat with a sly smile playing on his lips. His influence stretched across legislative halls, law enforcement, and regulatory bodies. He was the puppeteer behind many of the legal maneuvers that had crippled opponents of
CHAPTER 182: Unmasking
The files had been encrypted, but Daniella, with her usual confidence, had bypassed the protections in under an hour. Now, the data sprawled across their screens in a series of project files, financial logs, and most damning of all the recordings.“Play that one again,” Ven said, voice low but edged with a deadly calm.Daniella clicked on the file labeled "Operative Coordination Priority." A video began to play, but with clear audio. Davis’s voice filled the room, masked with urgency:“This has to be handled cleanly. If the shareholders lose faith in me, we lose the Brown Empire to that bastard.”Another voice responded, deep and unidentifiable, as though passed through a modulator: “You were given what you needed, from trying to eliminate him to convincing shareholders and voting for you. The only way is for you to eliminate him..."Ven’s hands tightened into fists on the table. He forced himself to stay composed, but Bryan, seated beside him, saw the flare of fury in his eyes.“T
CHAPTER 181: Infiltration
Bryan had been patient after days of quiet observation, memorizing routines, and piecing together every small detail about Davis’s schedule had led to this night. He knew Davis’s arrogance was his greatest weakness.Davis had spent the morning in the courthouse, fighting tooth and nail to bury the mountain of corruption charges the prosecution had brought against him. Bryan had anticipated that the proceedings would drag late into the evening. If his calculations were right, Davis would not return to his office tonight. That gave Bryan the perfect window.He sat in his vehicle parked two blocks away from Davis office, gloved hands resting on the steering wheel, eyes fixed on the building’s front entrance. The last of the executives had left an hour ago, leaving only the night staff and the ever-vigilant security team.''Time to move,'' he muttered under his breath.He stepped out of the car, a slim black backpack slung over his shoulder, and walked with the purposeful stride of a man
CHAPTER 180: Hunting
The moment Davis slammed the door behind him, Ven didn’t waste another second. He reached for his phone, scrolled to a name he’d saved months ago, and hit call. It rang only once before the line connected.''Chairman, Cyrus’s deep, sardonic voice came through. To what do I owe the honor so soon? Don’t tell me you miss me already.''"This isn’t a social call,'' Ven said sharply. “He slipped.”There was a pause on the other end, the sound of leather creaking as though Cyrus had leaned forward in his chair. “Slipped? Who?”“Davis, Ven replied. “He came here, blustering as usual, trying to intimidate me. But in the middle of his little performance, he mentioned something,he said he’d submitted to the shadows.''The silence that followed was heavy, weighted with meaning. Then Cyrus’s tone shifted, losing its playful edge. “He said that? Out loud?”“Yes, he tried to walk it back immediately, but it was too late. He’s connected to them directly."On the other end of the line, Cyrus exhaled s
CHAPTER 179: A Slip
The door to Ven’s office opened with a quiet click, but the man who entered carried none of that subtlety. Davis strode in with an air of arrogance, his tailored suit crisp, his head held high despite the storm raging around his life and reputation. His eyes, however, betrayed the simmering fury combating his mind,like a man whose pride had been dragged through mud but still refused to bow.Ven sat behind his desk, calm as ever, his fingers interlaced on the polished surface. He didn’t bother to stand.''Davis,''Ven said flatly. “To what do I owe this visit? I thought you’d be busy...oh, perhaps preparing for court?”Davis’s jaw tightened at the jab. “Save your sarcasm, he hissed, walking closer. I didn’t come here for idle talk. I came to tell you something face-to-face. I know you’re behind this. Every single piece of trash that’s being thrown at me and Victory. The prosecution, the police raids,it all reeks of you.”Ven’s expression remained Unbothered. "Good. At least you’re not
CHAPTER 178: The Hidden Hands
Ven was in his office, the office of the Chairman going through financial reports, consolidating the newly acquired shares Mr. Rosav had handed over, and planning the next phase of restructuring the Brown Empire. Yet, despite his recent victory over Davis and the others, an unsettling feeling lingered in his mind.There was something deeper here,something that had been silently clawing at the very foundation of the Empire long before he took the helm. His father’s death, the fire, the sudden collapse of key accounts,it all connected somehow, but the threads were invisible.A soft knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts.“Come in,” Ven said.His secretary stepped in briskly. "Sir, there’s someone here requesting a private audience with you. He said you’ll know him as Mr. Drip.''Ven’s brows furrowed at the name, but he nodded. “Send him in.”Moments later, a tall man with graying hair and a rugged face entered the office. He wore a simple dark suit, but his bearing carried quiet
