"This is an important venture for the Imperium industries, and since we all have a share in this company, I believe that it stands to reason that we all partake in this meeting. It's our money thing and it's our duty as elders to make sure you're investing in proper business ventures and not just driven by a youthful mind." Kira's father said to me with a curt and very professional tone.

"Well when you put it like that, you're absolutely right, but it's just you three here, so where are the rest of the board members, or were they not willing to be oasis nor your self righteous crusade, they should be here for this meeting too right? After all it's their money too?" I said to board member Zhang as I placed my hand under my jaw and watched them all with a rather predatory gaze.

"We did go to them, but they've delegated us as their representatives, you can call them if you like?" My dad replied in a curt manner. I nodded my head and turned to Kira with a smile, she returned it with a rather bland face.

"Kira how many minutes do we have until the meeting with the leaders?"

"About ten minutes chairman." She relied in a curt and she crisp tone.

"Call the rest of the board members and find out if they did in fact delegate our fathers to represent them in this meeting, and if anyone of them is within the building, have them here in six minutes!"

Obviously this trio of greedy old men where here to find a way to sabotage or undermine what I have planned. I would be dealing with two worldwide military organizations in the form of NATO and U.N though not all of the countries are represented, this was still a big deal and it would give the Imperium industries a ma.s.sive amount of power in a world that's rapidly changing.

Kira excused herself and went out of the board room, leaving me and these trio of hyenas in silence. It was like I was surrounded and being watched on three sides by different enemies, each with their own goal and they wouldn't hesitate to get me out of the way to do so. In fact this brought me back to a few years, back when I first joined the army and was drafted into an elite special black ops unit for the UN.

*PAPAPAPAPAPAPAPAPA!*

Bullets whizzed through concrete and steel as I huddle closed to the ground trying to catch my breath. I was terrified, I could see my life flas.h.i.+ng before my eyes, see myself dying at Nintendo without any achievements to my name. I would have ran away by now, but there was no where to run to. My unit was practically boxed in, with enemies coming at us from three sides, and the only way out being an open stretch of land that would make us an obvious target to them all.

"Take a deep breath rookie! Don't let your emotions get the best of you. Are there any holes in your body?"

"No sir!"

"Do you have a concussion or are you bleeding internally?"

"No sir!!"

"Then get your a.s.s up and fight! As long as your still breathing, you can...."

*BANG!* "CAPTAIN!"

I didn't get to hear everything he wanted to tell me as a sniper bullet went through his skull. His blood splattered allover my face and I was shaken with so much fright I almost ran out of the cover then and there. The rest of the soldiers in the almost destroyed house just gave the captain's body a cursory look before turning their gaze back to the gun fight going on around them.

Obviously it was my fault, if I wasn't so shaken and paralyzed by fear, then the captain would not have felt the need to calm me down, he would not have left himself exposed to the enemies and ended up getting killed in the process. But this time I can feel something a whole lot different than just fear, I was angry and p.i.s.sed beyond measure at everything around me, why did I ever decide to get in the army, obviously it was to p.i.s.s my grandfather off, but now my life was on the line.

How could I have been such an idiot, I though I was smarter than this. But never the less if I keep cowering here, staring at the blank faced look of my dead captain, then I will become a dead idiot. I had to make a move, no matter how little of a difference it would make. So what if we're surrounded on three sides by enemies, who I might add were not even friends with each other. I guess it's time to give them something else to focus on, how about each other? But how?

Kira walked right back into the board room, drawing me out of my walk down memory lane. Then she came over and whispered to me, seems like most of the board members were not even aware of the meeting or that they were even being represented. However they had a healthy fear of these three men, so they weren't willing to cross them for any reason whatsoever, so it would be just as they said, they were representing the rest of the board. I smiled in that regard, but there was nothing left to be said in this case, the meeting was about to begin.

A few holographic screens flickered to life with the leaders of the world watching on with a stern look on their face. Well I had to leave an impression on them, after all I was going to use their money to developed weapons and then sell it back to them for an exorbitant sum of money. I need to be on my best behavior and wow the crowd.

"Gentlemen and ladies! Today is a momentous day, so.....let's change the world."
