The Gambit

The conference room fell into an eerie silence, all eyes fixed on Arthur as if he had just declared the impossible.

Even Harrison, known for his constant troublemaking, wore a look of shock and disbelief.

Bureau Head Derrick's lips twitched, betraying his confusion as he regarded Arthur with an expression that was hard to decipher.

Arthur touched his nose, forcing a light smile while shaking his head.

He had anticipated their reactions; after all, what he had just proposed was nothing short of outrageous.

Who in their right mind would claim they could complete a project that typically takes over fifteen years in just one year? It sounded like something out of a fantasy novel!

Yet here he stood, a systematic man armed with a secret, a system capable of achieving the impossible.
