“You have nothing to worry yourself about.” He said as he tried to tell him in a reassuring tone.

However Bruce wasn’t as convinced. He didn’t see how this would be a good thing in any was shape or form. There was a nagging feeling at the back of his head that told him that this was a very bad idea and that this wasn’t something that they should take lightly.

“This is a big deal and I am surprised that you are taking it so lightly. There is someone who is working behind the scenes on this and he means anything but good.” Bruce said to him and Zach couldn’t help but furrow his brows as though urging him to speak further on it.

“There is word that these small workshops have someone behind the scenes who is sponsoring them and giving them capital. He is allowing them to sell it at a little lower price. Do you know what that means for us?” He asked.

Zach remained impassive not wanting to show that his words had gotten to him and he knew better than to overreact.

“It means that they are going to run us out of business soon. No one is going to want to buy from us at a higher price when they knew that they can go elsewhere and get it at a much lower price.” He said to him in an emphasized tone.

“This also means that our sales will be seriously affected. Think about it. Everything that you have built here and everything that you have worked hard for and then someone just comes in and sends it crashing down. We could start losing workers as well when they learn about what is happening. Our profits will plumet and we will soon be out of a business.” He said to him frantically.

Zach thought over Bruce’s words and it was then that his words truly hit him. He gulped as he realized that this was serious.

He knew that he couldn’t allow this to happen. It was up to him to stop everything from coming crashing down.

He had to save the company no matter what it took. “Show me the financial statements.” He ordered to Bruce and Bruce couldn’t help but notice the urgency that was clear in his tone.

He bowed slightly before leaving the room. He was glad that Zach was finally starting to see how serious things were and that he was finally starting to take the situation more seriously.

He came back in moments later as he handed over the financial report to Zach. Zach took it into his hand as he thanked Bruce for it briefly before pulling the statements open.

He widened his eyes as he skimmed his eyes over the document. He took note of the transactions that were made and at first he didn’t see anything peculiar.

However when he looked towards the end he saw that there was a huge influx of money into the industry.

He couldn’t help but furrow his brows at the sight as he couldn’t help but wonder where the money was coming in from. He didn’t understand what was going on but he knew that he had to get to the bottom of it.

He knew that he couldn’t allow this to carry on. He had to do something to put a stop to it. Because he knew that if he didn’t reach t now that the Smith’s family financial chain would take a serious hit.

He didn’t want hiem to have to start all over again.

They had already put so much faith and truest in him that he would be able to work things out for them and the last thing that he wanted was for them to lose that trust in him. 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝘮

He had to find a way to fix this and he had to do it now. Burt he also knows that he had to think about to properly.

Whenever he tried to lash out he always ends up making things worse. Whenever he tried to fight off his enemies it never ended well.

And he had told himself that he wanted to keep a low profile and that he didn’t want to interject into matters that weren’t much of his concern. However that was seeming much harder than he had thought.

He thought back to when he had destroyed the Hunter family. He knew that he had done a good thing and that he was able to take down his enemies but he was also reminded of the consequences that resulted from what he had done.

Because of what he did Christina was then forced to travel to the capital ad a hostage. If he hadn’t been so focused on destroying the Hunter family then he knew that that would have never happened to Christina.

He couldn’t get the thought out of his head. The fact that she had been forced into it and he had no control over it.

He didn’t need another mistake like that to happen. Although he had told himself that he wouldn’t get himself involved in such a matter he found it almost impossible for him not to.

Especially when he knew that there was someone out there that was deliberately causing trouble for him. He didn’t like the fact that there was in deed someone out there that was intent on making things difficult. At least more difficult than they had to be and he was aware of the fact that?he had to get to the bottom of things soon.

“So what are you going to do.” Bruce asked him suddenly and he couldn’t help but tense up in his spot. It was as though he was just realizing that Bruce was still there.

He waved his hand away briefly. He knew that he couldn’t think properly with him hovering over him and he needed him to take a step back and give him some room.

“I am going to need you to leave me be for some time.” He said to him and he watched as his lip quivered as though there was something he wanted to say.

“But what about the others on the market.” Bruce asked him.

Zach fritted his teeth sending him a deep glare. “Like I said you shouldn’t worry about it because I am going to have all of it sorted out.” He said to him firmly.

Bruce sighed as he bowed down his head slightly before lowering his shoulders. “well I hope that you know what you are doing because you will have to act fast.” He muttered.

With that Bruce turned around and left. It was just him in the room now and Zach was left alone with his own thoughts. He knew that he would have to come up with something and that he would have to do it fast.

He knew that he had what it took to defeat his enemies. He had done so countless times before and he had always come out on top. 𝘳𝘦.𝒸𝑜𝘮

In truth winning had never been a problem for him. The real problem was that even though he won and although he did possess an advantage there was always a consequence that he would have to dace in the end.

It was never just him winning. Because he knew that when he did win he would most often end up losing someone that was of value to him in the end.

It irritated him that he still struggled to find a way out of the loop that he was caught up in. He wasn’t going to stop trying but he hoped that for once the outcome of it wouldn’t be so grim.

He knew that this time he wasn’t going to be able to follow the same tactics that he was used to. If he decided to defeat his enemies in the method that he was used to, he knew for a fact that it wouldn’t end well.

He had to be more thoughtful about it all. The end goal for him wasn’t to defeat the enemy.

But it was to find. Way for him to win and keep the Smith’s family in control for a very long time.

He knew that if he were to defeat the enemy now there was a chance that it would result in the destruction of the Smith empire and that was the last thing that he wanted.

His main goal was to ensure that the company was kept afloat and that he was still able to keep them in power for as long as he possibly could.

Zach spent a very long time sitting in his chair as he thought about what he had to do.

He came up with several different scenarios in his head and various routes that he would have to follow to get what he wanted.

However none of them seemed to be plausible and have thew lowest risk at the end.

He let out a sigh as he thought over it for a while longer. However after a moment he couldn’t help but smile brightly as an idea came to him.

He knew just how he would do it. He had the perfect plan for getting what he wanted without causing damage to the Smith family and also all the while with him being able to make sure that their legacy carried on.

His enemies didn’t know what was about to hit them and he would take them down in a such a way that they didn’t have any choice but to submit to him wholly.
