Time Ghost

Chapter 11

Mounting intensity soars in each stride of the man’s entrance. James Watson scans the room in meticulous manner to find the stage, from which was located a few meters close to the door. Repairmen drones flew away from their window-cleaning duty once its leader slams the door shut shortly after. The meeting room’s curtain folds down in immediate fashion for means of security for the next. No wonder, current discussions will determine the business strategy and retaliations against their rivals. Fortifications required to diminish any prompt of espionage from such technology-savvy opponents of the market.

One time, their defense drones have to engage in airborne dogfight as an unknown object entered Drolyfe, Inc. Airspace. It came from DarkJet industries, one established Russian drone company sited across the Pacific. They brought a fully-weaponized bombard drone that was equipped with Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) bomb for means to sabotage their central business for a short while. It is insignificant to their massive empire, indeed, but a split second of inactivation would cost billions to repair when it involves a gargantuan company within the plan.

Drolyfe, Inc. Attack drones could eventually managed themselves to take down the bombard drone after more than one hour of conquest. It succeeded in termination of several servers hub, satellite receiver, and charging stations of the drone at their airbase. Five personnel were injured in-between combat as they struggled to retrieve some broken bones of the drones on the ground.

To mitigate against newfound approaches of DarkJet Industries, enhancements of their resistance is imperative. They increased surveillance drones’ coverage and maintained its perimeters into more than a kilometer across. Attack drones are equipped with small drone-seeking missiles to counter-act any hovering machines nearby.

James Watson puts either palms on the presentation table. Triangle-shaped under the chin, the man in glasses asserts himself towards the audiences’ menace and pretending to have them within his hand. Gordon Herald sweeps another flux towards the CEO, then smirks a little once it pokes James Watson’s nose.

I don’t know who’s James Watson before these idiots really is. Did that man just spits the smoke towards my face?

“Ahem.”

James Watson coughed, followed by a death stare against Him afterwards,”We’re about to begin, Gordon. Quit your childish attitude, please.” He said boldly and calm against the bothered look of the old man. To triumph over the fierce veteran was a choice nobody had anticipated. Gordon Herald could have assumed that the man in glasses would ignore His insult, yet Damien thought no less of fighting him back and get even in the game.

An elder would never sustain himself under supremacy of others. Gordon Herald grunts over its seemingly-defeated stance and pursued an attack over him with pride,“You’re sure, kid? That’s not a good treat for your money-spender.” He rattled.

“I can replace you with someone else, Gordon. It’s money-making business we’re talking about here. You lose your stock, another will drive themselves to your share in seconds.” James Watson smirked. Refused to sell out his winning pace, The man in glasses draws a finger ahead of the flat-cap wearing man over the war table’s other edge,” I could even sell your stake to Mr. Johnson Goddard if you wanted.”

Gordon Herald snorts himself out and preserving his mouth close without any ensuing rage to follow. Flat-cap man, in contrary to the sworn rival of his, beams wide in utmost happiness towards the gimmick that James Watson had produced.

James Watson streams back into the slides as if no issues happened earlier. Damien has doubted about his own skill before, but now capable on giving out words over well-prepared presentation slides that the time-travel man has never read. He was engrossed with getting considerable material and probable knockbacks in opposition to the shareholders’ standings earlier.

“Now, if we swipe down DarkJet industries with our recent project, their portions in the market will shrink to 20 percent in worldwide market. We demolished their prompt to have India and Indonesia by releasing ourselves in much lower rate.”

The man in glasses draws a line on the economic graphs and directed His aim before India and indonesia’s yearly earnings,”We captured in the positions at early 2020- I mean 2009, exactly at January and February 20th respectively.” He slammed the green number repeatedly,”We can offload huge paychecks just by this victory. And for DarkJet? They down a huge number because of that failure.”

~clap-clap-clap~

Nobody withstood James Watson’s profound explanation and applaud the results in harmony. Gordon Herald was knocked out in vain, so no ongoing question from the old man to this extent. In the opposite end, however, Johnson Goddard laughs and handed down a standing ovation at the same time.

“Heh-heh-heh, no bully crap in this company, Gordon. Our director leads us to be a champion, now.” Johnson Goddard muttered.
