As Crafovac came back, he was surprised after knowing the clock to his life was ticking and he had only 10 days to live.
He was not scared though, just surprised, as he knew death was always a step away from anyone, and knowing he was set in place, gave him time to set his affairs straight before his advent to the afterlife.
"Mr. MaScotch! Mr. MaScotch!" The judge was shouting to get his attention, but he refused to break his trance in deep thought.
'A slap walked Craofvac out of his daze, as he turned to see his sister with the same uncanny expressionless face looking straight into his eyes.
"You Ok?"
"There have been better days for sure." Craofvac stood up from the ground, the slap held enough strength to push him out of his seat.
Normally it would have been a shameful act to hit the heir or the chairman in all but in the name such as Crafovac, but his sister held no malicious intent behind this, and such, he would not pursue it any longer.
Crafovac turned to the judge, "Ah- So your honor," he looked down to his notes regarding the case, "Where were we." to find his notes were plain white paper as he had enough confidence to do good in court without them.
Still, out of place, Crafovac came before them as his sister whispered what the situation was. It had been mere seconds for anyone else in the courtroom but Crafovac had been gone for a year in his sea of consciousness.
The matters in the future held much more importance than what was happening in the present for him, and he had to prepare for them.
"Ah- Your Honour, I would be not pressing any charges for obstruction of private affairs in my building, trespassing my private office, and adultery, not that we had been married and what else-" he looked at his sister for her to assist, "And for defamation, if Ms. Wh-" he turned back to look for the name of her opponent on the stand, "Ms. Karen would take back her charges while apologizing publicly, thank you for your time."
Even though he had nothing against this Karen now if he did not make her apologise it would look weak in the public which was not an option for the MaScotchs,
Crafovac turned back, packed his papers, and walked out of the courtroom.
"Mr. MaScotch! MR MASCHOTCH!." The judge and the lawyers kept calling him while he exited the building to go for his car.
His sister momentarily followed him, after saying her goodbyes to the elderly judge.
Crafovac's sister was not like him, like the heir to the MaScotchs.
The MaScotchs was a multinational multi-trillion-dollar company with hundreds of subsidiaries under them which dominated every field of the market they were introduced in.
MaScotch apple the Tech giant, MaScotch Tesla the automobile dominator, MaScotch Dominos, and MaScdonals dominated the whole fast food chains to name a few, they had a few many hands in the oil resources too.
The current MaScotch was the biggest organization in the world 1o questions asked, having more prioritized dealings than even that of the presidents of the US or Russia.
Matching the large dominion of the MaScotchs, the MaScotch family was a huge one that had a lot of side branches, and all of them were trained and taught to properly control each and every sector of the market giant.
Normally, the side branches would have been eager to get a piece of what the central line had but the MaScotch had a system of no corruption and sidetracking.
The MaScotchs were not bound by blood, they were bound by duty and an iron fist. The head chairman of the MaScotch group and that of the MaScotch family were always one and the same, and his word held full authority over all of the family.
The chairman was very powerful, and no one could usurp his position. This further entailed the Chairman was not bound by blood, meaning it was his duty to choose his successor, which must not be chosen for his or her blood but by his capabilities.
The current heir was chosen to be Crafovac. Many were envious of him but the teachings of the Crafovacs held everyone together.
His sister, Peri MaScotch was of course not his blood sister but a rather distant cousin whom Crafovac had placed near to her by his authority, as he knew how to keep talents around him. She was an excellent doctor while having an equally brilliant mind for business and politics
Closing the car door, Peri glared at Crafovac thinking something. She lightly tapped his shoulder to again wake him up from his daze.
"What?"
"What happened in the court?"
"Something unexplainable, don't worry I am fine." He looked for his mobile phone, passing it to Peri. "Make a call to Kurtrigo, I need to meet him ASAP." Crafovac pressed the car engine button and started driving around to meet the next turn to the Highway.
"What I am your secretary now?" Peri was frustrated with how distant Crafovac had become in a matter of minutes but held her temper before her brother while dialing the Bastar- Kurtigo's number.
Kurtigo or Kurtigo conners was one of Crafovac's few friends. Actually, the only friend Crafovac had. They had both been roommates during their time in law college. And maintained their friendship from there on.
Kurtogo, or nickname Kurt was now an upcoming rising entrepreneur, selling his first billion-dollar project for money, now expanding his business by the profits it had generated.
While PEri called Kurt begrudgingly, Crafovac called a number from another phone that popped up the name Sydney on MaScotch's true caller.
Sydney or Sydney MaScotch was the current head of the MaScotch and held a very, very distant relation to Crafovac, but was able to discern Crafovac's talent and nature earlier and got her a good heir.
She had repeatedly slipped the idea of abdicating earlier than decided but Crafovac thought of transcending to her position after her death or something. But now things were different than before.
