Dangerouss men, men on the quest for revenge gets more vicious with the dangers they face. They keep moving forward with their bows and arrows ready to pierce through any obstacles. This kind of men won’t sit still nor felter because arrow is been pointed at them, it’s either they’re devoured whole or they devour their prey whole. Samuel, from the very moment he decided to stepped out of the shore of Canada for Nigeria to exact revenge on the slayers of his parents, from that moment he vowed to never chickened out no matter the dangers. Since he came back and was discovered by his archenemy Mr Jege, he had escaped several assassinationn attempts, that was solely because he was extremely careful and proactive about Mr Jege’s actions. He knew that he will face more dangers the moment the meeting ended. The vicious, carnivorous Jege would go to any extend to eliminate Samuel, he wouldn’t mind doing anything as long as he can have the control of BEICO CONSTRUCTION LIMITED in his control. Greedy men don’t get satisfaction from having enough rather they get more intoxicated and dangerous.
Samuel’s intention from the onset wasn’t to killl Mr Jege or his family, he wanted to make him feel great pains by watching the company being taken away from him. Samuel plans was to render the Jege’s penniless and at the mercy of the world. To achieve his dreams, Samuel knew he had works to do and to begin his strategic blow on Mr Jege, interrupting the shareholders meeting where his son was to be appointed to the position of the chairmanships was the first step.
Richard couldn’t really comprehend what was going on. Who was Samuel, and what exactly was his interest in trying to hijack the ownership of the BEICO CONSTRUCTION LIMITED. The more Richard thinks about the entire situation, the more frustrated he became, at first, he had only Mr Jege as the only competitor but now, an invisible competitor with a hidden motive have arrived. As Richard thinks about everything, he also felt happy that Samuel or whoever he was interrupted the meeting else, he would have lost woefully to Mr Jege and his son.
“Leave a rat alive and it will craw back trying to bite a cat’s tail” Mr Jege fumed furiously as the driver drove him and his son to the house, his eyes were brimming with burning fire. All he wanted at that moment was crushing Samuel into a crumbling pieces. He gritted his teeth viciously and breath in heavily. “Those who tries to hinder you from achieving your aims should be crushed like ants without mercy because if you leave them alive, they will come back biting and disrupting your plans” Mr Jege advised Donald who was simmering with anger. Donald grew up with the ambition to be the chairman of BEICO CONSTRUCTION LIMITED, for this desires, he had studied and worked to extra limit to meet people’s expectations. To Donald, not achieving that dream was like failing in all aspects of life. He wondered who exactly was Samuel, a young man slightly younger than him, how was he able to convinced the two most obnoxious directors to get their supports. Donald asked himself rhetorically and the more he thinks about the situation, the more desperate he became in attaining his desires. “Dad, with enough price, those directors will offer their supports, i believe ninety percent of directors supporting Richard can be bought with a better price” Donald said and his father smiled at how courageous and desperate his son was growing. “That’s what i love hearing, price, everyone and everything have their prices. From this night onwards, offer them as much as they want, let me see how some unknown radical and insolent boy would come charging at me trying to challenge what’s bigger than him” Jege said proud of his son’s ambition.
The three candidates contesting for the positions of the chairmanship of the company were up and doing, lobbying and bribingg their ways up to favours of shareholders. For Samuel, he wasn’t into a cheap game of just bribing, he had a group of men expertised in the act of manipulating informations on the internet. He had a great knowledgeable group of hackers whom he had properly equiped waiting for the best time to launch his attack via the internet. While Mr Jege, Donald and Richard were scrambling left and right to gain shareholders favour, Samuel was sitting in front of his computer to launch a web missile.
Nobody is truly an enemy if you can take advantage of their secrecy and betrayals. Samuel knew Rose had betrayed him long time ago, he watched her going to bed with Donald but Samuel had kept quiet without saying anything about it. Though he began to exercised caution with his dealings with her, he never completely stopped giving her missions. Samuel made sure that the mission he assigned to Rose were missions that won’t hurt him if it was spilled. Now that the battle had reached such an intensed level, Samuel concluded it was time to make use of Rose betrayal to his advantage.
“I know you have a certain sentiment towards the late chairman’s son but sir, this is the right time we unite together for the betterment of the company. Considering the numbers of shares that unknown rascal have, you need to team up with me. Your support isn’t going to be for nothing, it comes with this bag!” Mr Jege said as he pushed the briefcase stacked with mints to director Johnson. He opened it and his eyes brimmed with surprise. “That’s twenty million naira, it is thrice the worth of your shares. Also, once your son is done with his studies, a position will be ready and waiting for him” Jege said pushing before him a writing agreement of his promises. Director Johnson’s smiled mischievously as he swallowed his saliva. He had several times openly attacked Mr Jege for hijacking the company ownership from the founder’s son, everyone knew how much director Johnson detest Jege but with a bagful of money and such a promising future for his son, his intergrity began to shake. He contemplated for a while and decided to sell his shares to Mr Jege.
