Chapter 91: Breaking News

Chris sat in his office, the massive floor-to-ceiling windows behind him offering a breathtaking view of the city skyline. But his attention wasn't on the world outside. His eyes were locked on the television screen mounted on the wall, where a breaking news banner flashed across the bottom.

"Shocking Revelation: The True Heir of Blackwood Empire Unveiled!"

The anchor's voice carried a sense of urgency.

"For years, the world believed Ethan Carter was the face of Blackwood, but in a stunning turn of events, it has been revealed that the true mastermind behind the empire is none other than Christopher Blackwood. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the financial world, raising questions about how one of the most powerful figures remained hidden for so long."

Chris leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly against the armrest. He had expected this reaction—the world was in chaos.

The news showed footage from the press conference earlier that day. The moment Ethan had stepped up to the podium. The moment he had spoken the words that changed everything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you today to introduce the man behind Blackwood Empire—the one who has been in control all along. Christopher Blackwood."

The camera had zoomed in on the stunned faces of the audience as Chris stepped onto the stage. He watched his own figure on the screen, calm and composed, standing before the world with an authority that could no longer be denied.

"For years, you have done business with Blackwood without ever knowing the face behind it. Today, that changes."

The footage switched to reporters scrambling, throwing questions at him.

"Mr. Blackwood, why reveal yourself now?"

"What does this mean for Blackwood's future?"

"How did you manage to keep this hidden for so long?"

Chris had answered each one with the same measured confidence, ensuring that his message was clear—Blackwood was now untouchable.

He grabbed the remote and switched off the television. Silence filled the room, but he could still feel the weight of what had just happened. The world knew his name now.

A knock on the door broke his thoughts.

Ethan stepped in, his expression unreadable.

"The board is ready. They're waiting for you."

Chris exhaled slowly, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Let's not keep them waiting, then."

He stood up, buttoned his suit, and walked toward the door.

The world had finally seen the true power of

Blackwood.

And this was only the beginning.
