Stefan put the letter he got from the mysterious man into his suit. No one should know about this.
"I wanted to get some fresh air. It all happened so fast that I didn't have time to figure it all out."
Lena grabbed Stefan's wheelchair and pushed him close to the balcony railing. Stefan knew Lena was doing this on purpose.
"You know, I don't like lies. So, whatever happens, you have to tell me about it."
Stefan looked at Lena seriously. "Why don't you want to be the director? Please answer this question because I'm very curious. I don't want to die one day without getting this answer."
"You have no idea how dangerous that position is. It's more than just a drug dealer and a company leader. You'll meet people from mafia groups in Russia and do some business with them as well. If something goes wrong, those people will obviously look for the leader. And I don't want them to find and kill me if there's ever a mistake made by Solonik's Company."
"So, your company is a mafia group?"
"Yep."
Stefan turned his face aside. Being a director didn't make his life safe. Stefan's life was in danger every day at this rate.
"I want protection," Stefan said firmly. "I want a personal guard to protect myself."
"Okay, I'll set it up."
"I also want to live in the middle of the city. I want some assets in my name." Stefan needed all this so he could show off his success to his ex-wife.
"You're a little greedy. But that's no problem, I'll give you a penthouse, a personal car, an apartment building, and a personal salary from your job."
But Stefan knows that nothing is free in this world. There must be something he had to pay for all those facilities. "What do you want me to do?"
"You're starting to adapt now." Lena took a tablet out of her bag. "Bratva Company, I want you to destroy this company. Destroy it slowly and make sure it can't rise again. If you succeed at it, then I'll give you a new company."
This was a nice coincidence. Stefan didn't need to find another reason to use his current power for revenge against Dasha.
"I will do it. I will destroy the Bratva Company as you wish," Stefan replied.
"All right, I trust you. So I can leave this place at ease."
"Where are you going? Then how will you keep track of my performance if you leave?"
"I'll be gone for some time. So, I will entrust everything to you. All the decisions will be made by you. Then, when the time is right I'll come back."
"What if I make the wrong decision?" Stefan asked.
"Then you'll be dead." Lena laughed and left Stefan alone.
After Lena left the building, Stefan hit his hand to the balcony railing, causing his hand injury. "She really thinks of me as a puppet."

"Who told you to sign this proposal?" Stefan asked the marketing director. Stefan had been working since a week ago. And today he found an oddity in the company's financial report after analyzing it.
"No one Sir, I signed it myself. The former general director gave us the mandate to approve anything that we think will be beneficial to the company."
Stefan pound the table. "Now who's your director?"
"You, Sir."
"So who do you have to obey?"
The marketing director looked at Stefan with fear. "You, Sir."
"Then cancel the whole deal! I want you to break the deal with this company and make things right as soon as possible or I'll fire you."
Stefan couldn't hold back his anger. One person's mistake would lead to ruin. And that loss could threaten Stefan's life just like Lena had said.
Stefan's secretary came in and explained Stefan's schedule for today.
"Sir, today you will meet with the director of the Bratva Company at their restaurant. Are you willing to come?"
"Bratva?" asked Stefan once again. That was the name of Dasha's company. And if the director of Bratva wanted to meet her, then it was none other than Dasha.
"Schedule it at night."
Today's work went very quickly for Stefan. Either because he was so eager to meet the person who had humiliated him or because he was working too fast.
Stefan studied Bratva's company profile in the car on the way to the meeting. Thanks to the ring, Stefan was able to understand everything easily.
Unfortunately, when the car Stefan was driving went through a traffic light crossing, a truck from the opposite direction hit their car.
The car lost control and spun several times before rolling over.
Stefan dimly saw someone get out of the truck and approach him. Stefan's body was pulled out of the car and dragged into the truck.
"Sir, I got the target."
Stefan blinked his eyes. Something was shining in his eyes and it was glaring. His head also felt dizzy and his body felt heavy. Stefan could feel that his hands were tied to the chair. At the moment he couldn't move anywhere.Slowly Stefan could finally see clearly the thing that was causing the glare. It was the lamp above him.Stefan just realized that he was currently tied to the chair in a state where the chair had fallen to the floor. As a result, Stefan's body was upside down and facing upwards, which is why his eyes were so dazzled.Stefan tried to move his arms or legs to get free. Stefan was convinced that someone had deliberately hit his car on the way to the restaurant where Dasha had invited him. Stefan was sure that someone had made him an enemy. But who?Stefan heard the sound of someone's footsteps approaching. But he couldn't see who it was. Until finally the person walked towards his head. "It turns out that our current director is just as weak as the last one."St
Stefan cleaned his face from the blood and dust using a towel given by his secretary. The marketing director had been successfully cleared. Stefan remembered Lena's message at his introduction as director, that Stefan's current position was not an arbitrary one, Stefan had to be willing to kill or he would be killed."Forgive us for being late, Sir." Stefan's secretary bowed along with the other bodyguards. They were all scared because they were almost too late to save Stefan.Because of this incident, Stefan was also late for the dinner he was supposed to attend.Stefan looked at his watch. "There's still time for dinner with the director of the Bratva company." Stefan handed the towel to his secretary.Stefan walked to his car and his secretary chased after him."Excuse me, Sir. Shouldn't we go to the hospital to check on you? I'm afraid you're seriously injured considering the car you were driving was badly damaged. And the marketing director treated you badly earlier too."Stefan
Finally, the agreement between the Bratva and Solonik companies continued after Dasha signed the documents provided by Stefan. But of course it wasn't that easy, there were conditions from both sides that were proposed to each other."We want the revenue to be increased. From 45% to 55%," Robert said. Elena whispered something to Stefan that made him raise one eyebrow."Are you the director of the Bratva company? How is that possible? My company contributes 50% of the capital, half of the money you have. So my company should get the biggest return."Dasha suddenly laughed. "You're already arrogant because you have a new position.""I think you can take a leaf out of my book, Dasha." Stefan threw back the folder held by his secretary. "Remove your signature if you don't want 30% of the revenue. I can find another business partner who knows more about business than you."Who would have thought Stefan's words would make Dasha so angry that she poured a drink on Stefan. Stefan's shirt w
"What the fuck are you doing!""I'm sorry, Sir. I promise this is the last mistake I made," Stefan answered. But instead of receiving forgiveness, Stefan is pushed around by his boss and the packages he's about to deliver fall apart.Stefan recently became unfocused in his work as a courier. That's because there are a lot of internal problems between him and his wife. But Stefan knew that he shouldn't bring those problems to work."I'll cut your salary!""Please, don't cut my salary this month. I will pay for the losses, but it will be next month. Because this month I have a lot of needs," Stefan begged.But his boss, who was known for being stingy and fierce, didn't listen to Stefan's request. He threw the envelope filled with Stefan's salary. "If you don't want to, then you can stop working and don't come here tomorrow."Stefan only sighed. This was the job he got after being unemployed for six months after marrying his wife, Dasha.Although a job as a courier wasn't something Stefa
"Oh my God!" Dasha was startled and got out of the car with the man she had been kissing.The clothes she was wearing looked messy and the top button was open.Stefan was deeply shocked and didn't expect to see something like this right in front of his eyes. Stefan never thought that Dasha would play with another man."Dasha, who is he?" Stefan pulled the man who had fallen on top of Dasha's body.The man's lips were covered with Dasha's lipstick. It made Stefan unable to hold back his anger and he punched the man.Dasha ran and stood in front of that man. "He's my lover, Robert Bulgakov." Dasha pushed Stefan. "He's a wealthy man who matches me and I can rely on. Not a man like you who simply can't even buy a house for your wife."Stefan was shocked that Dasha could say such a thing. All this time Stefan thought she had accepted him as he is and was patient with his efforts to buy a new house. But all of Stefan's assumptions were wrong. Dasha had never loved him."I married you to mak
Stefan's body hit the sides of the car because he was placed in the trunk. The air supply in the trunk was low and caused Stefan to cough due to lack of oxygen. Stefan also had no idea how long he would have to stay in this small space.Stefan couldn't find a gap to escape. This car was the car that Stefan had gifted to Haily but he ended up suffering in this car too.Stefan didn't want to be dumped anywhere because he wasn't trash. Even though Stefan was poor, no one had the right to throw him away. So Stefan tried again to force open the trunk of the car while he was still conscious.Stefan kicked his knee against the trunk door until it felt numb, but it still wouldn't open. He couldn't use his hands because they were tied so tightly behind his body and Stefan couldn't turn his body.Over and over Stefan tried to bang his head but he still couldn't open the trunk. Until the car suddenly stopped and Stefan's body hit hard.Stefan heard footsteps approaching. His eyes were covered by
Stefan finally opened his eyes. He blinked to adjust the light entering his eyes.Stefan saw a large lamp above him. Stefan also knew he wasn't in a hospital because this room was too dark for a hospital room.Stefan remembered that the last time before he lost consciousness, a woman helped him and took him in a car.Stefan held the wound on his stomach and shoulder. It hurt but it was much less than before. Stefan looked at the intravenous tube next to the bed.As he tried to sit up, the door opened suddenly.The woman who helped Stefan and an old man entered. Stefan honestly didn't know who she was but he wanted to thank her for saving him."It's okay, stay in your position. You still need to rest. You've been unconscious for several days, so your body must still feel weak." The woman helped Stefan lie back again.Stefan was surprised when she said he had been unconscious for several days. Stefan didn't even know what day it was and what time it was. "Thank you for helping me, Ma'am
After Lena came out, there was a sudden rush of several muscular men who came in and removed the IV and dragged Stefan to get up.Stefan, who was pulled suddenly, was still trying to maintain his balance. He almost fell over due to the hold of his body."Who are you guys?""We're going to train you. You will have a short training for the next two days."One of the muscular men walked up to Stefan and punched him in the face, causing him to take a few steps back."What are you doing!" Stefan wiped his bleeding lip. "Shit!" Stefan counterattacked. He punched the man in the stomach but it didn't cause any reaction. "How can you not be in pain?"The man grabbed Stefan quickly and slammed him down.Stefan coughed as his body hit the floor hard. Then as he tried to stand up again, Stefan saw the ring he was wearing shine again. No one could see the light from the ring except Stefan.Stefan's body felt a powerful transformation. He felt his muscles strengthen and the pain slowly faded away.
