THE DEVOURER

Generated from Meta AI

Mr Fernandez stood in his office, a three story complex, behind his large glass window which gave him a transparent and magnificent view of the city beneath him. It was that kind of glass which one would see everything on the outside but none in the inside. As he stood there, staring outside, his posture looked calm but he was anything but calm, the rage brimming in his eyes, threatening to let loose as he thought to himself.

He had gobbled up so many business and enterprises over the past adding to his own, spreading his name across cities and countries, The F Corp, an international name, globally known across cities. Most smaller businesses trembled at the mention of his name. He was known in the business world as the devourer. A ruthless business man who paid n attention on who got hurt in the process. He took whatever he liked with no repercussions. No one dared stood up to him or challenged him. Mr Fernandez was all powerful or so he thought. Although there was no denying the fact that he was a bastard millionaire. Very rich and Influential. However, he was too egoistical for his own good, seeing everyone as beneath him.

And so it irked him to no end that he couldn't gobble up the Savage Empire and holdings like the other ones. He had tried several times but he just couldn't. And now, here they were. The audacity of them to build another one of their buildings right opposite his. Calling him out. He knew what that meant, in the business world that was challenge, a competition. And that didn't sit right with him, to Mr Fernandez, he had no competition he was the ultimate. So he was beyond infuriated at this. Whoever they were, were very bold with their proclamation. A bold action challenging him.

Still standing there staring at the new building, he was more determined than ever to gobble up this one too. No one dared challenged him.

A knock on the door interrupted him from his thoughts.

"Come in" he said as he sat back down in his chair.

His Personal assistant walked right in with some documents in his hands.

" Good morning Sir," he said

"You have a meeting scheduled at 10 am this morning and ... "

" Find out every thing you need to know about Savage Empire and Holdings now" Mr Fernandez said cutting him short.

" And cancel all my meetings for today" He said already on his feet walking out of the office.

He mood was already bitter that morning. He was in no mood or position to have meetings at all.

Later that day, his PA came back with all the informations he had gathered about that company.

It was business holding which specialized in many sectors ranging from agriculture, fashion and accessories, petroleum, plastics and chemicals etc. they had been in business for over four years now. However over all this time, not once as the face of the CEO been revealed. Somehow even the media had failed to unravel the identity of the person behind Savage Empire and holdings. Rumour has it that the CEO prefers to remain anonymous, and doesn't want to be revealed publicly.

While his PA spoke all these and told him all there is to know, he could not help but think to himself. They had started four years ago, which was good. It meant they were still a child, a baby that had just been born compared to his business which had thrived for over twenty years now. He has a good chance. He frowned a bit however knowing their business and dealings touched every ares he too specialized in. Something told him this would be a tough fight. He needed to find out who the CEO was.

" Set me a meeting with Salvage Empires " he said

" It's about time, I meet with the owner" he spoke again, mischief brimming in his eyes.

He had thought of the perfect plan. To lure him out in the pretense of doing business with him, a partnership and when he agrees he sets him up, Sneakily changing the products with he fake of it and when he finally markets it, he'll accuse them of having used inferior products, tarnishing their name. And offering to salvage the situation, he offers to buy off their company or they risk watching it collapse. He smiled devilishly to himself.

The next day, he walked in to Salvage Empires and holdings with his head held all high land mighty and an evil gleam in his eyes. He| was wearing a black tuxedo that exuded power and dominance. As he followed the secretary to where the meeting would take place he looked like the devourer he was indeed called, coming to take without mercy.

The Meeting went on successfully. Although the CEO was not present in person as he sent representatives.However, they had fallen right into his trap or so he thought. They had jumped on the offer agreeing to his terms Finalizing the deal and partnership,the both parties signed the necessary documents and shook on it. He left the building with a wicked smile playing at his lips.

Little by little they began the project, he executed his plan, paying off some of the workers to sneak in some inferior goods and mix it all up with the original. Soon, it was time for sale. They marketed the products and it flooded the market. It was a major success and there was no damage.

Mr Fernandez sat in his office watching the news report, patiently waiting to see if his plan had worked which was all over the Tv channels .

" The collaboration between F corp and salvage empire holdings proved to be a good combination as they are yet again with another wonderful product that has brought a huge profit and revolutionary change to the business world with Salvage Empires leading this partnership" The newscaster spoke.

On hearing this, Mr Fernandez threw the remote he was holding hardly on the floor while slamming his fist on his desk in a fit of rage. His evil plan had not work. He was beyond furious. Instead all the glory had gone to Salvage Empire. As he was stewing in his fit of rage he received a text message from an unknown number.

*I know what you have done. Watch your back, your downfall is next. " It said.

Just as he finished reading it his secretary walked in almost excitedly with some new Information.

" Sir the identity of the CEO of Salvage Empires has been revealed" he said showing him a video of the man in a press conference in his tablet.

Mr Fernandez grabbed the tablet to get a better view of the person and immediately his blood ran cold. It was his best friend whom he had swindled twenty years ago. Suddenly everything made sense. It was him all along, he was seeking reveng. After all he had wronged him so badly, they had both started the F-corp together initially. Before he cunningly got him to sale all his shares.

" Sir that's not all,it seems like we're being framed, its all over the news that the authorities had found inferior illegal goods in one of our containers marketing the products. They are on their way here as we speak.

It was then Mr Fernandez realized that his sins were about to catch-up with him.
