Harry sighed after he closed the door. A feeling of pity filled his heart for Damien, who spent his entire working day in his office.
He wished that Damien had the chance to explore the world and enjoy life more, instead of being chained to his desk.
Damien was the mysterious CEO of Creed International enterprise. With an enigmatic persona, he was a tycoon in the business world. He had a reputation for being a shrewd and cruel businessman who wasn't afraid to take risks.
Despite his mysterious nature, Damien's bold actions have earned him a strong reputation within the corporate world, allowing him to establish the Creed empire as an economic powerhouse. Over the years, he transformed the Creed enterprise into a successful global corporation, making it one of the most powerful and influential businesses in the world.
His success in the business world was unparalleled, with a reputation that earned him the title 'emperor' of the business world. He had every aspect of the business world wrapped around him.
He was among the top ten most desirable bachelors in the world. And his gorgeous looks were enough to make women go crazy.
"If only he could just give himself a break." Harry muttered as he sat down behind his desk. He let out a deep sigh, overwhelmed by the tasks that lay before him.
Few hours later, a middle aged man dressed in a brown suit made his way towards Harry's desk. He suddenly felt a wave of an unknown aura as he watched the man approach.
"Assistant Harry, is the CEO in his office? I am here to give my reports." The man asked.
Harry raised an eyebrow at the man standing in front of him. He felt a sense of unease as he studied the man in front of him, as if something was wrong but he couldn't figure out what.
"Production manager why are you here? Isn't your meeting appointment with the boss around 2pm?" Harry asked as he glanced at the file in the production manager's hand.
"Is it? Haha! I must have miscalculated the time. Anyway since I am here why don't you inform the CEO that I would like to give my report now?" The production manager laughed awkwardly.
Harry's suspicions were further aroused by the production manager's awkward laugh. This man standing before him was also known to be very stern as he was always professional which was why Damien got along with him very well.
"Okay, wait here while I inform him." Harry said to the production manager, who simply smiled in response. Without another word, he strode to the office to deliver his report to Damien.
Harry opened the office door and walked in. Hearing the sound of the door being opened Damien raised his head up from the pile of work in front of him. "What is it Harry?" He asked.
Harry replied instantly as he dropped a file he also wanted to give Damien. "The production manager is here to give you his report."
"Let him in," Damien replied with his gaze still focused on his laptop.
Harry nodded and walked out of the office to deliver Damien's instructions to the guest.
"You may go in, manager." Harry beckoned.
"Thank you Mr. Harry." The production manager said before entering Damien's office. The manager approached Damien who was busy signing some files when he walked into the office.
"Good afternoon Boss, here are the files from the most recent production." He said as he placed the green colored file on Damien's desk.
Without any response, Damien picked up the file as he browsed the content within the file for a couple of minutes before he closed the file.
Damien stood up from the chair and strode towards the glass wall. His gaze swept toward a tall building. "Where are you?" Damien questioned without looking directly at the manager.
The production manager asked Damien, "What do you mean sir? I'm standing right here."
"Don't play games with me, I already know so it is advisable that you stop pretending and hiding like a rat." Damien said as he stared at the production manager coldly.
The manager realized that he was already caught so his attitude changed. "Ha! You're very talented like they say but since you already know, I will not waste any more time and finish the job." The production manager confessed.
A strange energy emanated from his body as he rushed towards Damien at full speed.
Damien smirked as he had already anticipated his opponents' move, so he disappeared into the shadows quickly, leaving the production manager surprised.He finally reappeared behind the manager's blind spot, leaving him stunned.
The manager didn't expect Damien's sudden movement and was caught off guard but he tried to quickly react by spinning around in order to attack Damien again.
However before he could touch Damien, his hand was caught in mid air. Startled, the production manager stared into Damien's calm and collected gaze, unable to utter a single word.
Damian raised his other hand which was covered in a dark aura and gave a firm push on the chest of the manager.
The manager's body flew backwards until it crashed against the wall of the office causing a loud noise. When his body landed on the ground he was knocked out and he lay unconsciously on the ground.
Damian's action was swift and precise, as if he had done this a thousand times before.
Harry, who was outside, heard the sound and rushed into the office when he heard the loud bang against the wall.
"Damien, what happened?" Harry asked, his voice filled with worry as he looked at the production manager who was unconscious.
"I will be back." Damien said as he disappeared again without waiting for Harry to respond.
On top of a tall building located very close to the Creed enterprise building, a figure in a black robe glared and was watching what was happening in Damien's office.
"Damn it. He was quick to catch on that I was controlling his manager." The black robed figure said.
"So this is where you are?" Damien said as he appeared behind the figure.
The black-robed figure was totally shocked at how easily Damien discovered him again. "How do you know that I was here? It appears I underestimated you." The figure asked.
"I must say that you concealed your aura quite well. But do you think such petty tricks can work on me? I already knew where you were before i asked" Damien looked at the figure wearing a black robe with his hands in his pockets.
"Well, it's a good thing you came yourself and this time I will make sure I kill you!" He spat angrily and charged towards Damien.
A yellow aura suddenly covered the assassin's body before he lunged forward with a yell of rage and fury. He rushed forward with outstretched arms, a yellow glow surrounding his body as he punched Damien.
Damien remained still, his expression composed as he looked at his opponent. "I see that you are a yellow aura user." Damien commented as he dodged the attack. "You are better than the other weaklings they sent."
"Shut up and die!" Damien's words were like a spark that fanned the flames of the black figure's anger, causing his aura to flare up and radiate from his body.His eyes glowed with intense anger, charging at Damien with the intention of killing him.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Damien blasted the assassin away with his own aura as he was getting bored with the fight already. As a result of his attack, a part of the building's roof was destroyed and even though the attack was loud enough to attract many people's attention, nobody heard it due to the effects of the illusion spell Damien casted.
When Harry who was unaffected by the illusion because he was also an aura user saw the damage done by his boss, he sighed. "Looks like I'm going to have to take care of this," he said, steeling himself for the task ahead because he knew that the situation was far from under control and it was clear that Damien was behind it. He would have to get the crisis under control and clear the mess that Damien had created.
Damien's silhouette illuminated by the setting sun stood in front of the black-robed man lying unconscious on the floor in blood. "It was very stupid of you to release your bloodlust at me." He said before teleporting back to his office and as expected Harry was waiting for him.
"What happened?" Harry asked, disregarding what he had said earlier.
"I just had to clear some trash. Those bastards are already getting impatient." Damien replied as he walked toward his chair and sat down.
"You could have accomplished the task quietly and efficiently, without causing all that destruction but you just couldn't resist the urge" Harry sighed in frustration.
"The issue is that the trash wasn't willing to go down without a fight," Damien replied nonchalantly.
"But you didn't have to resort to such extreme lengths," Harry argued, stressing that there were other options.
"Come on, give me a break. I just wanted to stretch a bit, and besides it's just one building." Damien rolled his eyes at Harry. "In any case, tell the guys to send that trash to the dungeon. I will interrogate him personally. And make sure they do it before nightfall," he added sternly.
"You did not kill him?" Harry asked surprised that Damien left the assassin alive.
"No," Damien answered firmly, "I want to find out who he sent to kill me this time."
"Okay I understand. I will get it done. Is there anything else you would like to say? Harry asked.
"Nothing, you can leave." Damien said.
Harry gave a single nod of acknowledgement before exiting the office, understanding that there was nothing more to say.
Outside Damien office, Harry shook his head and pulled out his cellphone and dialed the number of the owner of the building.
"Hi, Mr. Sean, we are seriously interested in your building. So how much are you willing to sell that building for to us? Harry asked.
After negotiating with the owner, Harry ended the call with a pained expression. He stared at the almost-collapsed building. "He is going to be the death of me," Harry thought to himself.
