"So… what do you have for me?" Davies asked the man who stood in front of him while taking a sip of his coffee. 

The man in an all-black suit, black shades, black shoes, and a white shirt was named Q… or at least that was his code name as he obviously couldn't use his real name for these kinds of activities.

"While following Miss Selina's orders to capture the targets, we were also given the orders to extract as much information as we could, should we be given the chance, so we used our discretion to pick one among the targets to interrogate, and after using a few, persuasion methods, he willingly spoke," Q said to Davies.

[To call kidnapping, poisoning, shooting someone in the head, then shooting him three more times, bludgeoning him, castrating him, and then throwing him into a river, as simple persuasion methods… I wonder what he considers as actual torture?] Miya said in Davies's head, but Davies paid her no mind as he was more eager to find out the information that had been acquired through the simple persuasion methods.

"Tennessee Williams, the one we persuaded to speak, told us that the infighting in the company and the attempts to try to share the pie that is Imperium Technologies, wasn't just the idea of the executives but rather that of the powers behind them," Q continued.

"Hmmm, interesting…" This elicited a surprised look from Davies as his eyebrow rose in proportion to his interest in this.

"And who are these powers behind them?" Davies asked curiously.

"Two of the great family as well as a few other hidden forces, but we couldn't manage to find out as even he didn't know who they were," Q responded to Davies's questions.

"So those fuckers couldn't keep their paws to themselves in the end," Davies said with a little laugh. He didn't need any further explanation to understand the whole situation.

He knew that Imperium Technologies was a hot cake, a hot cake that attracted envious eyes far and wide, and there had never been a shortage of people who wanted a piece of this cake, but Davies had always kept a hold on the company and didn't allow for anyone else to be able to invest or buy shares, thus not allowing anybody but himself to reap the benefits of his hard work. 

Due to his status as a once-in-a-lifetime genius and the fact that many of the greater powers of the human race were enthusiastic about his development, he could hold every single cent that belonged to Imperium Technologies. Of course, it wasn't for free, he also gave them benefits that other people couldn't have access to.

The 4 great families of Yorkshire had always had their eye on Imperium technologies for different reasons known only to themselves, but the undisputed fact was that they all wanted to have it in their grasp, thereby elevating their status and rising above the other great families present in Yorkshire. 

They had probably started reaching for Imperium Technologies when Davies had disappeared for twelve years, but it seems they lost themselves to their greed immediately they heard that he was thought to be dead… or at least some of them had.

Davies was kind of surprised that only two out of the four great families were involved in trying to take over Imperium Technologies during his short absence, and not all of them. He was also curious about which of the families had actually stretched their hands toward his property, so he asked Q,

"Which two families are we talking about here?"

"It was the Lake family and the Santos family," 

"They had… they still have some of your C-level executives in their pocket and had been giving them support and pushing them to try to fight for the company,"

"We were also able to discern that they probably had been supporting them before they got to their current high-level positions," Q reported the acquired information as well as some of his thoughts to Davies.

"Hmm, so they probably picked them when they were still quite low on the ladder, and then supported them all the way up, creating the perfect spies and espionage agents that could help them get information and also cause problems on the inside,"

"Interesting…" Even though the information he had just received was shocking, the smile on Davies's face didn't wane but  grew even brighter.

He always knew that the Lake family was a bunch of shameless assholes who didn't care for anything but their benefit. He had seen their hypocrisy firsthand just over a week when they thought of him as an idiot who would hand over Imperium Technologies at their mere request, but who would have known that they weren't as stupid as they made themselves look?

They obviously had been preparing this kind of move for quite a while now and requesting him to hand over control of Imperium Technologies to them was more like an afterthought.

His rejection of their offer may also have been a result they were expecting, so why had they even bothered making the attempt? Davies wondered but couldn't see through their motives for such a stupid move.

eαglesnᴏνel On the other hand, the Santos family seemed greedy and wanted to get their hands on Imperium Technologies by any and all means. He had always known them to be beyond greedy and even more unreasonable.

They always wanted everything to go their way, and if they couldn't acquire whatever they had their minds on, they didn't mind destroying it.

Davies was actually quite happy that they were among the ones that had made a move at him, otherwise, he would have forgotten that he had a few scores to settle with them, after all, they were among the sets of people that had tried to kidnap him when he was younger and had just revealed his promise and excessively high talent, and after not managing to kidnap him they had switched to trying to kill him and had put him in death's path more than once, so it could be said that his animosity with them was at an all-time high.

He hadn't bothered to deal with them till now because he had been busy with a lot of other more important things, but now that they had brought their necks forth for him to slice down on, wouldn't it be a shame if he simply forgave them and let them go like some sort of buddha.

Davies wasn't a monk, he had lots of hair, so he was going to have lots of revenge.

He would show them not to reach for things beyond their low level of thinking. 

Truth be told, Davies didn't really care that much for Imperium Technologies, but it was part of some of his preparations for dealing with situations. He would gladly toss it aside if it helped him to achieve any of his goals, but for now, it was still his property and he had to show people what would happen if they dared to touch a dragon's treasure, even if it wasn't all that important to the dragon.

It was a battle of pride that Davies hated the most but had to partake in to avoid any annoying situations in the future where people think they can step all over him because he usually wouldn't react.

'It would be easier if this were a battleground, I'd just have to kill a few people to make a statement… oh wait, I already did that,' Davies was thinking to himself when he remembered that he had already set an example for some of his enemies by allowing them to watch the Morning Show, though it probably had only a little deterring effect on the bigger powers supporting the idiots in his company.

"Something of that level shouldn't scare them much," he murmured while thinking to himself that he needed to look for a way to begin suppressing the Lake family and the Santos family… or just wipe them out altogether, but this would only be a last case scenario, whenever they became too annoying, and he no longer wanted to waste his energy just suppressing them.

With that all decided, his mind reverted to the other two great families who had for some reason not made a move even at the most opportune moment, neither did it seem like they had prepared anything to help them to take over Imperium Technologies. He had a few thoughts about why the Rome family that Jessica was from, was not making a move, but he had no idea why the Lecroy family had seemingly stayed out of the fight to claim Imperium Technologies.

'Well, I can always find out the reason after I make more progress with Fiona Lecroy, who speaking of which, I should meet up with,' Davies thought as he picked up his phone that was blinking lights and vibrating to call his attention.
