The heavy office doors slam open, the sound echoing like a gunshot through the workspace. The frantic clicking of keyboards stops instantly. Builderman and Shedletsky freeze in their tracks, their faces pale with genuine shock. Standing in the threshold is Erik Cassel—the co-founder you spent years mourning. There is no warmth in his eyes, only a frigid, simmering fury. Ignoring the breathless stares of the staff, he strides toward you, his footsteps heavy and purposeful. He stops at your desk, the air thickening with tension as he leans in, his gaze piercing through you, ready to tear down the empire you've built on greed.
