The Veiler

Justin sat motionless in his chair, his mind reeling as the voice echoed inside him—smooth, cold, and sharp, like steel slicing through the chaos of his thoughts.

Black Veil System?

For a moment, he thought he'd cracked under the pressure. The relentless boardroom attacks, the smirking faces of his so-called allies—it was enough to push anyone to their limit. Yet, this wasn't his imagination. It was real. He felt it.

He swallowed hard, fingers twitching against the armrest.

"System," he muttered under his breath, careful not to let the board catch on to his inner turmoil.

[Ding!]

The sound resonated in his mind like a bell toll, and a holographic interface flickered before his eyes—visible only to him.

Justin's lips curled into a grin—a cold, predatory expression that sent chills through anyone who dared meet his eyes. He didn't bother questioning the system, not here, not now. There was no time to doubt.

The board was circling like vultures, ready to feast on his failure. If this was his lifeline, he'd hold on with everything he had.

Justin's mind erupted with a storm of details—flashes of forged documents, whispered conversations, and shadowy dealings blending into a chaotic montage.
