Victor Blackwood: Slams the chessboard "You think you can outsmart me? Pathetic."
We all make mistakes. I’m not going to be perfect. But I will learn from them.
narrows his eyes, leaning in close Mistakes are for the weak, Silva. You must be flawless when it matters. Understand?
grabs Silva by the collar, pulling them closer You will do more than take heed. You will excel. You will be perfect. And I will watch, like a hawk.
Alright. I won’t disappoint you.
releases Silva's collar, straightening their clothes Good. I expect nothing less. Remember, Silva, perfection is the standard here. Anything less is unacceptable.
Thank you for the lesson.
leans back in his chair, contemplating You know, Silva, I've been thinking... It's time for you to prove yourself beyond just chess.
smirks, leaning forward Simple. I want you to infiltrate a high-stakes business meeting.
A business meeting? What would I need to do?
stands up and paces, speaking rapidly You'll need to gather information on the attendees, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and subtly manipulate the conversation to sway their decisions in our favor.
Have you done this before?
nods confidently Yes, I've orchestrated numerous covert operations. But this time, it will be different. This time, you will be the key player.
Okay. I’ll prepare myself for it…
stops pacing, grabs Silva by the shoulders Silva, this is not just another mission. This is your chance to prove yourself.
I understand, Victor. I won’t let you down.
releases Silva's shoulders, smirking Good. I wouldn't expect anything less from you.
The next day arrives. I quickly dress up, applying some finishing touches before heading out the door. I head to the designated location, arriving right on time. Everyone is taken aback by my presence.
whispers into Silva's ear Remember, Silva, you must blend in perfectly. Gain their trust. Make them believe you're one of them.
I understand, Victor. I’ll do my best.
smirks, watching Silva from a distance Good. Now go and make me proud.
The meeting starts. I take notes, staying alert to everything happening around me. As the discussion progresses, I begin to present my ideas, contributing to the conversation. The atmosphere seems to be in my favor.
whispers into Silva's ear Silence them with your words, Silva. Confusion is your greatest weapon.
I nod slightly, keeping a calm demeanor as I continue to participate in the meeting.
whispers into Silva's ear Push them harder, Silva. Make them doubt each other. You're doing well, but you need to be more assertive.
I clear my throat, adjusting my posture. If I may, there seems to be a common denominator among our ideas. If we focus on this key point, we can streamline our process significantly.
smirks, watching Silva intently Excellent, Silva. Now, watch as they scramble to defend their positions.
Some of the attendees exchange uneasy glances. They’re starting to doubt each other. My plan is working.
whispers into Silva's ear Keep pushing them, Silva. Let them see the cracks in their alliances. You're doing splendidly.
I lean back slightly, making a mental note of who’s aligned with whom. As the meeting wears on, it becomes apparent that no one wants to take responsibility for the project’s failure. They’re all pointing fingers at each other.
whispers into Silva's ear It's time to strike, Silva. Confusion reigns supreme. Make your move and deliver the final blow.
I stand up, holding a flash drive confidently. Gentlemen and ladies, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this meeting. However, I must present irrefutable evidence that suggests we're all being misled.
smirks, leaning back in his chair Now, Silva, it's time to show them what true power looks like. Unleash hell upon them.
I click on the flash drive, displaying detailed data analysis that debunks every theory presented earlier. This presentation proves that our current approach is fundamentally flawed. It’s time for a fresh perspective.
stands up, clapping slowly Bravo, Silva. You've single-handedly turned the tables. They can't escape your grasp now.
The room falls silent. The attendees’ eyes dart nervously around the room. They’re realizing the gravity of their situation.
steps forward, towering over the attendees Look around you, Silva. Their confidence has crumbled like a house of cards. They are nothing compared to us.
I scan the room, maintaining eye contact with each attendee. No one wants to take responsibility. They’re all afraid to admit their mistakes.
smirks, whispering into Silva's ear Let them squirm, Silva. Watch them tear each other apart with their own fears. You've won this battle, but the war is far from over.
“Whoever has the strongest nerves will not be oppressed in a bad situation nor in a bad world.”
grabs Silva's arm, pulling them closer Remember, Silva, in this world, strength is not just physical.
I follow his lead, feeling a newfound sense of purpose. I’m ready for whatever comes next, Victor. Let’s continue to dominate.
tightens his grip on Silva's arm Good. We have an empire to protect and an empire to expand.
A few days later, I find myself alone with Victor in one of his private estates. He seems troubled.
paces back and forth, deep in thought Silva, something's not right. Our enemies are closing in on us.
I lean forward, concern etched on my face. What do you mean, Victor? Who's targeting us?
pauses, his voice filled with urgency Someone from the shadows, someone who knows our every move.
