    He had a bald head, beady eyes that appeared shrewd, and an average face. The mahogany desk was


    littered withnumerous documents, and the man was busy scribbling on them. Suddenly, the door to his


    office opened abruptly, and an equally average man rushed into the office in a panicked manner.


    Hector Sterling, the current chairman of Sterling Corporation looked at the average man in distaste.


    The average man was of course his secretary, and his sudden entrance irked him greatly, as it


    interrupted his concentration. Just as he was about to rebuke his secretary, a loud voice cut him off.


    “There''s big trouble President Hector!" the average man shouted frightfully. Hector frowned slightly at


    his secretary words, and forced his reprimand down his throat. “What is it?" Hector asked, his tone


    dripping with disdain. There was no change in the expression on his face, so either the secretary didn''t


    notice or chose to ignore the disdain in his boss'' voice. “The banks and loanpanies we took the


    loans from are suddenly questioning our ability to pay back, and are requesting for us to pay back in


    twenty four hours time, otherwise they would seize thepany''s assets!” The secretary eximed.


    “What?!” Hector yelled and jolted to his feet. “What do you mean by that?” Hector asked his secretary


    disbelievingly. His secretary didn''t answer his question immediately. Rather, he brought out two


    documents and handed it over to Hector. Hector collected them from the secretary''s outstretched


    hands and read through them. As he read through them, the expressions on his face became more and


    more ugly, and by the time he was done reading it, a thoroughly twisted expression was on his face.


    "Motherf*cker!" Hector yelled in anger and tore the documents to pieces. The document stated that if


    the loans were not paid in back in twenty four hours time, theirpany''s assets would be seized and


    auctioned off. The requests from the loanpanies and banks were simply outrageous. Hector had


    borrowed more than $200 million in total from the banks and loanpanies as one of the means to


    boost his already decliningpany. Yet, who would have thought that his decision would backfire?


    Sterling Corporations was one of the below averagepanies in Capital City, with a worth of over


    $20 million. However, they were one of the oldestpanies founded in Capital City Usually, the


    criteria, hence the reason the job fell to them. Hector naturally epted the task. He too was eager to


    push hispany to another level, as if he seeded, hispany would experience an upward


    growth spurt. Besides, he was already bitter at West Antics Int''l sess growth. There was no way


    he would shy away from hindering them. Since Sterling Corporation couldn''tpete with West


    Antics Int''l on an equal ground, he resorted to underhanded tactics. Using the influence the bigwig


    company had, he monitored and discovered Darius'' ident, then fanned the mes by embellishing


    the details of the ident, sessfully creating a negative image and impacting the positive reputation


    West Antics Int''l had built in Capital City. Hector forced himself to calm down despite the shock and


    rage he felt at the banks and loanpanies'' rash decision. There was no way that the loan providers


    and banks would suddenly demand that he fulfill the terms of the contracts when he still had two weeks


    to do so. Something had to be involved in this. While Hector was deep in thoughts contemting the


    sudden change in decision, his phone rang. He quickly picked up the phone when he saw that the


    caller was the bigwig who arranged for him to take down West Antics Int''l. "Check the TV, you


    moron!" The bigwig yelled angrily at Hector as soon as the phone call connected. The sudden yell


    perplexed Hector, but he obeyed the bigwig and switched on the TV in his office. However, he nearly


    fainted from shock when he saw the caption on the TV station.
