The underground chamber smelled of secrecy. Hidden beneath one of the city’s most unsuspecting office complexes, the room was soundproofed, shielded from electronic surveillance, and accessible only through a series of locked corridors. Around a long black marble table sat three men, their faces obscured by the hoods of their tailored coats. No names were ever spoken here,only titles known to each other.

The First Anonymous slammed his fist on the table, the sound reverberating through the hollow room.

“Unbelievable. We buried him. We had every assurance that Ven was gone, just to appear seven days later, walked into the shareholders’ meeting like some ghost and takes everything we built. We were this close to owning the Empire outright.”

His anger echoed what they all felt. For years, they had pulled strings in the shadows,installing proxies like Kate, manipulating Reynolds, and finally, grooming Davis to ascend to the chairmanship. Every move was calculated, every rival neutralized

  • CHEAP 187: New Beginning

    The world outside the warehouse erupted in flashing lights and deafening sirens as Kand, Geli, Haynes, and Henry were dragged out in handcuffs. The media, tipped off beforehand, swarmed like vultures, cameras capturing every second of the once untouchable shadows being paraded into waiting armored vans. Their faces, pale and furious, would dominate every news outlet for days to come.Ven walked out slowly behind them, escorted by officers who had cut him free. His shirt was torn, his face bruised, but his back was straight, his head held high.Just beyond the police barricade stood Alex, flanked by Bryan and Daniella. Alex’s expression was grim as he watched his father being shoved into a police vehicle. Haynes caught his son’s eyes one last time, a look of pure betrayal etched across his features.''You… Haynes spat, voice hoarse with fury. ''You betrayed your own blood!''Alex’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t flinch. ''No, he said quietly, more to himself than to his father. ''I chose

  • CHAPTER 186: Exposed

    Ven didn’t know why he agreed to come. Alex’s request had seemed innocent enough remembering how he said it “Come with me to see my father. He’s been asking to meet you again. Maybe this is a way to clear the past, to show him you’re not holding grudges anymore.”Ven had hesitated. He had met Haynes once before, back in their university days when he visited Alex. Haynes had been polite then, overly polite perhaps, the kind of man whose smile never reached his eyes. Ven never thought much of it at the time. But now, as Alex drove them through the outskirts of the city, he couldn’t shake a growing unease.Still, he went along. Maybe it was to prove to himself he could let go of old wounds. Maybe it was to strengthen his friendship with Alex, who had finally apologized and seemed genuine about reconciling.The car slowed as they neared a gated estate tucked deep into a wooded area. High walls loomed around them like watchful sentinels.“Almost there,” Alex said, shooting Ven a quick smi

  • CHAPTER 185: confrontation

    The atmosphere in Henry Brown’s office was as pristine as always, matching his aura. Behind the large desk sat Henry, reviewing a thick stack of documents, his glasses perched neatly on the bridge of his nose. He exuded the calm, composed demeanor of a man who had mastered the art of appearances.The double doors to his office swung open abruptly without a knock.Henry glanced up, catching a glimpse at the interruption. The sight of Ven storming in, his expression thunderous, made him lean back slightly in his chair. He hadn’t seen this raw, unfiltered intensity from his nephew since the shareholder’s meeting.“Ven,” Henry said smoothly, removing his glasses and setting them aside. “What brings the new Chairman to my humble office? Finally here to consult your uncle for advice?”Ven ignored the pleasantry and strode directly to the desk, his hands slamming flat on the polished wood with a sharp thud. “Cut the act, Uncle,” he growled. “We need to talk about my father.”Henry’s brows a

  • CHAPTER 184: In Prison

    The air inside the Correctional Facility was thick with the stench of various sweat, a constant reminder of where ambition without restraint led. He had dressed simply today, no three piece suit, no signs of wealth or the power he now wielded as Chairman. He just put on black turtleneck and jacket. But even stripped of the trappings of his position, Ven’s presence carried an undeniable weight, a quiet intensity that made even hardened inmates glance at him with wary curiosity as he passed.The guard stopped before a reinforced door with a small, grimy glass panel. “He’s inside,” the guard muttered. “Fifteen minutes. That’s all you get.”Ven didn’t reply. He stepped through the door into a small visiting room with a single table positioned for formality. Victory Brown sat on the other side, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, his once immaculate appearance reduced to unshaven facial appearance and sunken eyes. He looked up as Ven entered, a smirk tugging weakly at his lips.“Well, Victory

  • 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
