Building The Strongest Family-Chapter 38: Deep Crisis

Chapter 38: Deep Crisis

Inside the study room, Arthur's eyes sparkled with excitement as he scanned the data flashing across his computer screen.

"Sir, after three days, the stock market price of all thirty companies has skyrocketed to 10,000 per share," Evolon's blue face flickered on the screen as he delivered the news.

"Good, good," Arthur nodded in satisfaction, his gaze narrowing slightly. "Now it's time for revenge."

"Evolon, are you ready?" he asked with a smirk.

"Always ready, sir," Evolon replied confidently.

"Then let's kick off Operation Nightfall!" Arthur leaned back in his chair, anticipation coursing through him.

"Yes, sir!" In an instant, Evolon transformed into streams of blue data and surged into the digital realm of the internet like a tidal wave.

Boredom loomed as he pulled out his phone to browse the internet, he had two hours until he reached his destination. But just as he powered up his device...

Messages flooded in at lightning speed until his phone froze.

Confusion morphed into panic as every passenger around him experienced the same chaos; dinging notifications filled the air like an incessant alarm.

After a moment that felt like eternity, Maxwell's phone finally resumed functioning.

He quickly glanced at the messages, and his eyes widened in shock.

----------

The outrage was palpable, flooding social media with calls for justice and accountability.

Maxwell muttered under his breath, "These people are done for."

Meanwhile, Evolon, with his unparalleled processing power, was working overtime, ensuring that this scandal made headlines worldwide.

From electronic billboards to news feeds, it was like an unstoppable swarm had descended upon the corporate world.

Inside one chaotic office, Damian Reeves was losing it. "What the hell is going on?" he screamed at his team of managers and executives, throwing objects around in frustration. "How did this happen?"

"Boss," one employee stammered, "we don't know how it started; it just exploded across the internet!"

Damian struggled to regain composure as he pressed for details about the spread of information.

"It's everywhere," another manager replied nervously. "All major platforms are reporting on it, it's already global."

In disbelief, Damian hurled his expensive computer against the wall in anger. "Then what are our tech and publicity teams doing?! Can't you fix this?"

"Boss, we've tried everything to delete the news," stammered the head of the technical department, wiping sweat from his bald head.

"But every time we manage to take one down, it multiplies into a hundred more! It's like trying to stop a flood with a bucket,our systems are completely compromised!"

His counterpart in publicity chimed in, panic etched across his face. "It's the same for us! Every response we craft vanishes as soon as it hits the network, like sinking stones into an endless ocean!"

Damian slammed his fist on the desk, frustration boiling over. "Damn it! Who is behind this? Who's targeting me?"

In a moment of desperation, he grabbed his phone and dialed a number, but it went straight to voicemail. He tried another; again, no answer.

His expression darkened as panic set in, and he panted heavily, feeling utterly trapped.

With despair washing over him, he sank to the ground.

Fear glimmered in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "I'm done… I'm completely done. Everything I've built over the past twenty years is gone."

Then laughter erupted from him, a wild, unhinged cackle that sent tears streaming down his cheeks.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang!

The office door swung open violently as police and other authorities stormed in.

They fixed their icy gazes on Damian, who sat crumpled on the floor like a defeated king.

"Take him," one officer ordered without hesitation.

In an instant, they snapped shiny silver handcuffs around Damian's wrists and dragged him out of the office.

Bang!

The door slammed shut behind them, leaving department heads exchanging bewildered glances.

What could they do now? One thing was certain: their company was doomed.

--------

But Damian wasn't alone in his downfall; all 30 CEOs were arrested almost simultaneously.

Many had attempted to flee at the first whiff of scandal but were apprehended before they could make their escape.

The stock prices plummeted by more than 50%, evaporating trillions of unicreds into thin air!

Decades-old companies that had thrived in Neo-Luminara began crumbling like sandcastles before an incoming tide.

As chaos reigned online, the news spreading like wildfire through pop-up ads and viral videos, even those living under bridges knew what was happening.

And all of this turmoil was orchestrated by just one person, who sat comfortably in his office watching it all unfold with glee while munching on popcorn as if enjoying a blockbuster movie!

"Sir, the news coverage is now at 90%. Should I stop?" Evolon's blue face flickered onto the screen, his tone a mix of eagerness and concern.

"No, I want it to hit 100%," Arthur replied firmly, shaking his head as he tossed a piece of popcorn into his mouth.

"Yes, Sir," Evolon acknowledged without hesitation.

"By the way, have there been any attempts at interference?" Arthur asked casually, leaning back in his chair.

"Yes, Sir. There have been exactly 2,456,789 attempts to delete the news, but I've already handled that," Evolon reported confidently.

"Hmmm…" Arthur narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "What about anyone on the official side? Have they tried to meddle?"

"Yes, Sir," Evolon confirmed.

"Then what are you waiting for? Dig up their dirty deeds and spread it across the internet!" Arthur said lightly but with an edge of intensity. "Anyone who dares to help these people needs to be taught a lesson."

"Understood, Sir," Evolon replied promptly.

"And how are the stocks looking for those companies?" Arthur inquired next.

"Sir, all thirty companies' stock prices have fallen by 60%, and they're still plummeting. By tomorrow, we estimate they'll hit rock bottom," Evolon stated matter-of-factly.

"Good. You know what to do then," Arthur nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't worry; I'll take care of everything," Evolon assured him.

"Oh! By the way," Arthur said as he patted his head absentmindedly, "when did Urban Development and Construction say I should meet them?"

"Wednesday at 7:00 AM at the Headquarters of the Urban Development and Construction Bureau in Lumina District," Evolon replied efficiently.

"Okay! Just remind me as it approaches," Arthur stretched lazily before getting up from his study room chair.
