Taking Control

"Just in time, it seems I stumbled upon something quite intriguing..." a wry voice interjected, startling the trio into immediate attention.

"Who?!"

The abrupt voice sent a jolt of tension through the room as all three occupants spun around, their gazes fixated on the source of the sound.

In the heavily guarded chamber, two unexpected figures materialized on a plush sofa—a man and a woman.

None other than Johnny and Medusa.

"In less than a decade, Morgan Biotechnology has experienced unprecedented growth. Initially, I attributed it to military backing. But it appears that Hydra, the infamous organization, has been the true benefactor, am I right?" Johnny lounged casually on the sofa, a relaxed smile gracing his features as Morgan and the two Hydra operatives eyed him warily.

"He's not with the company!" Morgan's demeanor shifted upon recognizing Johnny, his voice laced with urgency as he addressed his associates.

The Hydra operatives exchanged a glance, swiftly producing specialized weapons and aiming them at Johnny and Medusa.

Hydra's clandestine activities were usually veiled in secrecy, yet here they were, unexpectedly exposed. Faced with this unforeseen turn of events, the operatives reacted with fury, swiftly reaching a decision.

Eliminate Johnny and Medusa.

Two gunshots erupted almost simultaneously as high-caliber bullets, far deadlier than conventional ammunition, were unleashed towards Johnny.

In a flash, Johnny's eyes flickered, and with lightning speed, he sprang into action.

Under Johnny's accelerated perception, the world seemed to slow to a crawl. The two bullets aimed at him appeared frozen in mid-air, their spiral trajectories discernible.

With a slight smile, Johnny vanished in an instant.

From Morgan and the two Hydra agents' perspective, Johnny's seated form blurred momentarily before returning to normal.

However, the bullets they fired vanished into thin air!

The trio gaped at Johnny in horror.

"Looking for these?" Johnny's smile widened as he slowly revealed the two bullets in his palm.

"Attack!" The two Hydra agents, trembling with fear, continued their assault.

But at that moment, the Spectre materialized behind them, its talons gleaming.

A short scream echoed as blood sprayed, and the two Hydra agents slumped to the ground, terror etched in their eyes.

Johnny and Medusa observed the scene, making no move to intervene.

Morgan, drenched in blood, trembled in shock and fear, his directorial facade crumbling.

"President Morgan, what should I do with someone associated with Hydra?" Johnny's smile was taunting.

"I-I had no involvement! Please don't kill me!" Morgan pleaded, visibly shaken.

"Disappointing. I thought Hydra members were tougher," Johnny remarked, turning to Medusa.

After a brief exchange, Johnny left Morgan in Medusa's hands.

Later, Morgan stood before Johnny, his demeanor now reverent.

"Morgan, divulge all you know about Hydra," Johnny instructed, nodding approvingly at Medusa.

"Yes! I'm not truly part of Hydra. When Morgan Biotech faced bankruptcy, Hydra approached me, providing funds and advanced technology projects," Morgan confessed.

Controlled entirely by Johnny, Morgan divulged all he knew about Hydra.

Listening intently, Johnny mulled over Morgan's revelations. According to Morgan, he functioned merely as a pawn for Hydra, with no direct contact with the organization save for peripheral liaisons—now lying lifeless in a pool of blood.

"Had I known, I'd have let them linger a while longer. Hydra seems more ripe for conquest than Morgan," Johnny ruminated to himself.

"Morgan, I have two tasks for you. Firstly, arrange suitable identities for both me and Medusa. Secondly, transfer ownership of the company to me," Johnny instructed after a brief silence.

"Master, the identity issue is easily resolved, but I only hold a bit over 20% of the company's shares. To gain full control, I'd require at least 45% ownership and sway over the remaining board members," Morgan explained without objection.

"In that case, convene a board meeting, and ensure Medusa's presence," Johnny directed. Though tedious, these steps were necessary for Johnny to secure complete control over the company.

.....

A month later, a helicopter touched down at a private villa nestled along Manhattan's coastline.

Exiting the aircraft, a striking woman clad in formal attire, high heels, and sleek black stockings approached Johnny.

"Early today, Chairman Medusa," Johnny remarked with a wry smile as he observed her arrival.

"Master, you excel at delegating tasks. Leave everything to me," Medusa retorted playfully, her eyes dancing with amusement as she observed Johnny's post-training physique.

"Indeed, with a capable and attentive servant like you, I'm fortunate," Johnny acknowledged, his gaze lingering on Medusa with growing intensity.

Together, they entered the villa.

Yes, Johnny was no ascetic. He embraced hedonism, indulging in life's pleasures without reservation. However, he understood that strength was paramount.

After seizing control of Morgan Biotech, Johnny delegated most responsibilities to Medusa, intervening only sporadically to monitor Hydra's potential response.

Medusa, once a seasoned warrior, found a newfound interest in corporate management, making decisions and relaying pertinent information to Johnny.

Today, as always, major decisions were deliberated in the sea-view villa.
