Chapter 48 - Chapter 48 – The Battle Lines Drawn

Scene 1 – Richard's First Moves

Back at Hayes Enterprises, Richard Hayes was already in motion. He summoned his top executives and key allies.

"We have a threat — my own son, no less," Richard said grimly. "Kairos is more than a business. It's a statement. We can't let it grow unchecked."

He laid out his plan: aggressive market raids, subtle sabotage of Kairos's supply chains, and planting doubts among Kairos's investors.

"Six months," Richard emphasized. "That's all the time we have to crush this rebellion before it becomes unstoppable."

His team nodded, ready to move.

Scene 2 – Darren's Awareness

Meanwhile, in the sleek Kairos headquarters, Darren was monitoring the market and his system's notifications carefully. He'd already felt subtle pushes — delays, hostile offers, rumors.

His system chimed softly — a new mission unlocked: "Downfall of the Hayes."

Darren smiled faintly, eyes sharp.

"They want war? Then war they'll have," he thought. "But this time, it's my fight — and I'm not backing down."

He began planning his countermeasures: reinforcing Kairos's alliances, accelerating tech development, and leveraging the system's abilities to outmaneuver every strike.

His sister joined him, determination blazing in her eyes.

"Together, we'll build something they can never break."

The stage is set for an intense six-month battle between old power and new ambition.
