Chapter 271 Dark horse
5 years later...
Chen Corporation, Country C.
The infamous new god of the business world, Chen Seiji, was sitting like a tyrant king in a dim lit hall, glaring at the man presenting in front of him. Every single person inside the hall was tense to the point that their bones seemed to gradually turning into solid ice. Everyone were obviously scared to even make a single move. They all knew how terrifying this new tycoon who brought down his very own father, the former god of business, Zhao Meng, into his demise.
Chen Seiji slowly took everything Zhao Meng holds dear, his fame, his money, his glory and power within just two years. He even mercilessly put him into jail after he made him suffer an agony worse than death.
The power Chen Seiji hold was out of this world. It was as if he was a god who suddenly descended from the heavens and started rocking the business world upside down as though everything was as easy as a simple game in his hand. He was known to be ruthless to the core and nobody in this world would even try to offend him. He didn’t just destroy his own father, he also destroyed the entire Li family, his father’s second wife’s family. Chen Seiji, caused the Li Corporation’s bankruptcy, blacklisting them in the world of business and send Li Suyan to jail along with his father. Callously revealing their every crime, including the assassination of his mother, Mikazuki Fei.
Those past years, every event that has happened in the span of five years was like a dramatic play everyone could hardly believe. The world watched the appearance of the dark horse who trampled the former families in the highest echelon of power like nothing. Emerging himself as the new giant no one would dare go against.
At the end of those five years, the world witnessed not just the birth of the new god of business but also the declaration of a new hero.
The truth about the annihilation of the town of Zemei was revealed. Sei’s name has long been cleared before he started his revenge years ago. He revealed the truth and the government that was seeking him pardoned him. Of course, Sei did everything to make it happen. He negotiated with the world powers and instead of making him an enemy, they chose to turn him into a formidable ally. His past cyber-crimes when he was a child was also resolved. Everything was cleared but nobody knew aside from Zaki that the case wasn’t over yet.
Last year, Sei finally executed his plan and made the world believed that the man they thought was the real criminal responsible for the blast was actually a savior. Sei managed to shift the blame back to the Blackleaf organization. He revealed that the Black Leaf forced the rogue and kidnapped scientists to formulate a bioweapon that could destroy the world, and the day their research succeeded, Mr. Miura Ken sacrificed his life to destroy the research by blasting the entire town, taking with him the scientists who formulated it.
The issue rocked the world within an entire year. The world discussed what would have happened if Miura Ken didn’t destroy the weapon and when they thought about the Blackleaf or any terrorists using the weapon now, the people could only begin to support what Miura Ken did. Until in the end, the world started seeing him as the hero.
Sei’s plan was a success, he wanted to destroy the Blackleaf into ashes and so he did. Like a monster craving for blood of those who wronged him, Sei destroyed them all. His wrath was so horrifying that even the leaders of the nation’s started fearing him.
He turned into an ice cold creature seen by many as the perfectly untouchable god.
...
As the presenter finally stopped, Sei didn’t even talk. He just lifted his hand, signals them that the next presenter can now immediately begin. However, suddenly, the hall’s door opened.
The man known as the tycoon’s right hand and younger brother, Chen Zaki, appeared.
He dashed towards Sei and whispered in his ears.
"Sei, something happen. Little Shin was kidnapped from school." Zaki said and the intensity in Sei’s eyes blazed with darkness so extreme that everyone except Zaki could only held their breaths.
Sei stood noisily and left the hall without any word.
"The kidnapper seemed to be one of his teacher. Your private army was on their way." Zaki continued as they both headed towards the rooftop when Sei talked.
"No, dispatch this country’s special force, right now." He ordered and Zaki could only do what he said. Country C’s special force known as the Thundras was among the most powerful in the world. They were known as one among the highly trained special forces that will only operate near impossible missions. And yet Sei actually wanted them to be the one who will save his son.
But thinking about it, this mission was indeed as important as a crucial anti-terrorist mission, much more important than that. It was because, if something bad will happen to the boy, Zaki couldn’t even begin to imagine what Sei will do.
Inside the chopper heading towards the location of little Shin, Sei was quiet and cold as ice.
Looking at him, Zaki spoke.
"The unit has dispatched. Gladly, the team just arrived from their yearlong mission." He said and Sei just quietly stared outside the window.
The Thundra force has been connected with Sei years ago. They were one of the tools Sei used to gain the trust of the world leaders after all. Sei was the one who formulate a tactical strategy for the special forces to rescue the president of Country R from a hijacked plane. And the only special force who manage to execute Sei’s plan perfectly was the Thundras and Sei was perfectly impressed with them. That mission was almost impossible but Sei proved to the world what he can do and it was what made the world leaders to realize that he wasn’t born to be an enemy but a frightening ally the world desperately need.
