Chapter 284
At that moment The boss sat back, the final page of the document trembling slightly in his hand as he stared at the bold, incriminating words.
Immediately his jaw tightened, the sharp creases on his face deepening as realization dawned.
From everything he has seen from the document the circle wasn't just gathering—they were about to recruit someone. And not just anyone. The name at the bottom of the page sent a chill through him: The Godly Investor.@@@@
And today was supposed to be the recruitment day and this mess happened, leading to the death of a circle member.
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, his mind churning. Recruitment at 90%.
It meant they were on the brink of bringing someone into their fold, someone they clearly saw as a significant asset. But instead of success, but a member of the circle was found dead. along with his disciples, too.
At that moment the boss leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his piercing eyes fixed on the page.
The timing wasn't a coincidence. If the recruitment was supposed to happen today, it could only mean one thing: the person they were trying to recruit had wiped them all out.
The thought was almost incomprehensible. The circle, known for its power and ruthlessness, had been taken down in a single day, by one person. He set the document down carefully, as though it might burn him, and pressed his fingers together, his gaze dark and calculating.
"How is this possible?" he muttered under his breath, his tone laced with disbelief.
Then he turned to the burly man, who had been standing silently, his imposing figure tense as he waited for the boss's reaction.
"The Godly Investor," the boss said slowly, his voice low but carrying an edge of command. "Get me everything we have on him."
Upon hearing what the boss just said.
The Godly Investor had not only negotiated with them but had gained enough leverage to draw the attention of a member circle.
The details were sparse, but the pattern was clear: the Godly Investor had positioned himself intentionally, ensuring the circle would notice and extend an invitation.
At that moment the boss's eyes narrowed as he reached the last page, which summarized the events leading up to the massacre. His mind pieced it together: The Godly Investor knew exactly who the circle was and what they represented before even engaging with the Silver family.
Without being told he could tell this wasn't an accident. It was a plan.
He leaned back, his hand brushing his chin thoughtfully. The pieces fit too neatly. The Godly Investor wasn't just an opportunist; he was a strategist, someone who had orchestrated a series of moves to infiltrate the circle, only to eliminate them at the last possible moment.
At that moment without a word, the boss pulled out a clean sheet of paper from his desk.
Immediately his pen moved swiftly, the sound of it scratching against the paper the only noise in the room. When he finished, he folded the paper neatly and stapled it to the front of the Godly Investor's profile. The words scrawled across it were stark and unequivocal:
"Major Threat."
He handed the folder back to the burly man, his expression cold and resolute.
"Take this to the high authority," he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"They need to see this. If we don't act now, this Godly Investor will become a problem far bigger than the circle ever was."
Immediately the burly man nodded, gripping the folder tightly. "Understood, boss."
As the burly man turned to leave, the boss's gaze lingered on the empty ashtray on the table.
The Godly Investor had played his game flawlessly so far, but they had just stepped into a much larger arena. And this time, the stakes would be higher than ever.
