Chapter 45: The War for Dominance
📅 Date: December 16, 1994

Jin Park sat in his private office, scanning the classified reports on his desk. Sony and Hollywood had finally shown their true colors.
📢 "So, they're trying to push me out of the Western market?"
He smirked. It was a predictable move. The moment NexStation crushed PlayStation in sales, their enemies would panic. But Jin had prepared for this long before the console even launched.
📢 "They're using politics? Then we'll counter with business."
He turned to his assistant.
📢 "Release the contingency plan. It's time to break their monopoly."
