Richard looks at his ridiculously high stats and sighed. It takes a lot to reach this level if any has ever reach such level, now he has to be conscious not to put too much strength unless he might damage a lot of things and he can still get stronger. Richard smiles and felt a little bit refreshed knowing he is way past the human limit. What he doesn't know Is that his massive acquisition will be the sources of all his troubles.
In the US
A small circle of people were discussing the variables that has been occurring in the past six month especially the acquisition of the Nova Trust Bank, it could be said that the lifeline of most consortium is in the hands of others and they are unwilling to see that they had tried sabotaging the other party management rights but their men had been uprooted by the other party and the most frustrating part is that the other party has freezed their families fund every week then activate it back to disgust these families making them losing a lot of money and some were at the edge of bankruptcy especially the Morris consortium. There was a rare silence in this meeting, everyone had different opinions but some couldn't take it anymore and was ready to vent.
'Fuck, I will kill him too. He dares to kill us we dare kill him too.'
The other people were dumbfounded but quickly hold him down. They were not stupid the other party could kill the people and force them to hand over their shares, God know what the other party will do if he hear what the man just said but no one blames him, the Morris consortium are indeed the most affected as they come from a century old finance oriented family. Now one unidentified individual or group came killed the most important member of their family, threatened them so that they can't complain of course you will be dissatisfied after all you were the one bullying people before now it seems like someone stronger than them is directly bullying them and they have nowhere to cry afterall the opponent doesn't respect martial ethics.
'Calm down Morris. You are not young anymore.' An old man who looks emotionless even a little bit gloating. If a normal netizen entered this place he will be petrified by the influence these people have but this old man is one of the most respected members of the Stonefell family. He is distraught too about his loss as Nova Trust Bank is a huge interest group and the resources it possess is unimaginable. But although he was affected he is a little better off, he only lost two members of his family and since their family focus is on crude oil they were the least affected but who likes a bully, no one does especially the victim.
'Stop thinking about killing the other party, we don't even know the identity of the other party. So what we should do now is to find a solution to these problems which I have one. We should lobby the government against the group.'
The lively scene calm down a bit after the old man started talking.
'Alvin, I think your head caught the door right. Their are financial records of every politician receiving 'donations' from us. Do you want to push us to our doom.'
The hall became quiet but Alvin Stonefell face became ugly after being scolded.
'Shut up Morris and let me finish. We will lobby the government to unveil the face of Nova Trust Bank, then we can know the people responsible for our disaster then hit back harder.'
Everyone was quiet and buried their head thinking about this proposition, by unveiling the face of a company they can know the owner of the Bank and the owner will definitely be the one behind their disaster or at least related to it then they can pay back this suffering a thousand times over. But this is obviously the result of their investigation been futile and were unable to discover the true head of the Bank as their men mysteriously disappear shortly after entering the Bank.
'We could try that, they may want to delay it for a bit but no organisation can go against a country. And you are welcome to invest in our new bank.' Morris gave his opinion and put a little advertisement out but he know the life of his new bank will probably be hard after all Nova Bank hold a prominent shares in other bank so most people can't escape Nova Bank grasps and creating a new giant bank in such environment that is almost a monopoly is as hard as reaching the sky with a step. Although he knows these but he knows that these people are unwilling to be controlled by others so they might as well join force together to resist the other party. Everyone looks at each other than tacitly agree to join force together. 'Then lets talk about the shares distribution.' 'Okay' Everyone nodded and got into negotiating the best deal for themselves.
While this was going on some companies can sit still as they were surprised on what is going on. This was the case in Coca-Cola, a beverage giant. Coca-Cola was invented by Dr. John Stith Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886. Pemberton developed a syrup that was initially intended as a medicinal tonic. Frank M. Robinson, Pemberton's bookkeeper, suggested the name "Coca-Cola" and designed its iconic script logo. The name referred to two of its original ingredients: coca leaves and kola nuts. It was first sold at Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta for five cents per glass as a fountain drink mixed with carbonated water. tonic.Naming: Frank M.

The name referred to two of its original ingredients: coca leaves and kola nuts.Early Sales: It was first sold at Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta for five cents per glass as a fountain drink mixed with carbonated water. In 1888, Asa Griggs Candler, a businessman, acquired the rights to Coca-Cola. His marketing strategies transformed it from a regional product into a national brand. In 1899, Coca-Cola began being bottled under a franchise model. This allowed local businesses to bottle and distribute the drink, helping it expand rapidly. In 1915, the famous contour bottle was introduced to distinguish Coca-Cola from imitators. This bottle design became one of the most recognized in the world. Early marketing campaigns emphasized Coca-Cola as a refreshing and invigorating beverage. By the 1920s and 1930s, the brand had slogans like "The Pause That Refreshes." Coca-Cola became a global brand by the mid-20th century. During World War II, the company ensured that American soldiers stationed abroad could get Coca-Cola, furthering its global reach.By the 1970s, Coca-Cola was available in more than 160 countries. With such great achievements in the beverage world their management discovered that another competitor acquired most of its suppliers and the competitor is quickly occupying their market share with its innovative drink that improves the drinkers' health. The result of their investigation indeed proved this right but their can only look at these big cake eaten by the other party. James Quincey, the General manger of the US saw the revenue of the first quarter and saw that their revenue has a downward trend of almost 30%. The most hateful part is he can't acquire the other competitor now threatened to block it's suppliers as the other parts can turn back and block him even if the other competitor agrees to sell he can't acquire such part. This company called Hearth is a top 500 company even without being listed. It's shares in it's suppliers company is enough to rank at the top five company as the estimated networth of trillions isn't a joke. He had a wry smile when he saw a netizen claiming the company is estimated to worth 15 billion dollars, maybe at least a 1000 times that will qualify such company especially when such company is still at its infancy stage once he grows its unstoppable. According to his investigations the company has covered the whole of Africa with a population of more than a billion people, encroaching on their market share and he discover one of the shareholders as he can't find other shareholders information. He picked up a file, Richard's name was all that is on the paper is this. James discovered that nothing about him, not even a picture. He called his secretary and informed her to gather the Management it seems they have to work together with their old competitor.
