Chapter 94: The Game Begins

The news of Chris's potential entry into politics spread like wildfire. Political analysts debated, business moguls whispered, and the opposition scrambled to assess the threat. But Chris remained silent.

For now.

Inside the Blackwood Tower, a high-level meeting was underway. Ethan had gathered the best political strategists, campaign managers, and media experts. They sat around the grand conference table, waiting for Chris to speak.

Chris, as always, entered last. The moment he stepped in, the room fell silent. He took his seat at the head of the table, his gaze sweeping across the faces before him.

"Tell me," he began, his voice calm yet commanding. "What's the fastest way to secure my place in the race?"

One of the senior strategists, a sharp-eyed woman named Victoria Hale, leaned forward. "With your resources, name recognition, and Blackwood's influence, you can dominate the field. But…" She paused. "You need public favor. Right now, you're a corporate giant. People fear you, respect you, but they don't trust you as a leader."

Chris smirked. "Then we change that."

Ethan spoke next. "We need a campaign built on power, but one that appeals to the masses. Something they can believe in."

Chris steepled his fingers. "And what do the people want?"

Victoria responded immediately. "Change. Stability. Someone who isn't controlled by the system. Someone who can fix what politicians have failed to."

Chris nodded. "Then we give them that. I want a campaign that doesn't just promise change—I want one that proves I am the change."

Ethan smirked. "That means playing the media. Hosting public events. Aligning with key figures."

Chris glanced at him. "Set it up. I'll deliver the rest."

The room buzzed with activity as plans were drafted, strategies refined. But Chris remained calm.

He wasn't just running for president.

He was taking over the country.
