World Domination Begins With Getting a System in a Modern World-Chapter 46: Becoming The Lesser Evil
Chapter 46: Becoming The Lesser Evil
Destroying Brian’s father’s company... James found it strange that the thought even crossed his mind.
At first, it felt excessive — his grudge was with Brian, not his father. But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Brian and his father are the same as there are no difference between the two of them. They were the perfect example of the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
At first, it felt excessive. The grudge was between him and Brian, not his father. But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Brian was a product of his environment, a spoiled brat raised by a family that thrived on corruption. Destroying Cullen Corp wouldn’t just ruin Brian — it would cut off the source of everything that made him the way he was.
In the three years since James graduated high school, Brian’s father, Edward McCullen, and his company have been involved in multiple scandals.. And it wasn’t just him alone, the whole family has been involved in a few scandals.
James remembered when the first scandal was made public, a week after he had just graduated from highschool.
The scandal involved one of the female teachers back at his highschool and Brian’s father. Hearing this and without giving anymore details, one would already have an idea of what the scandal was about.
Yes, Brian’s father, Edward McCullen, was sleeping with the teacher. And not just the female teacher alone, he was also sleeping with a few more of the female teachers in the school, the principal, and some of his workers.
Naturally, when these scandals broke the news, everyone initially found it to be absurd and ridiculous. But after multiple concrete evidence started coming out, opinions changed.
While Edward McCullen was still battling the scandals and enduring the unforgivable judgement from people, more scandals involving his family started popping out.
The next set of scandals involved his wife, Tasha McCullen, and how she has been sleeping around.
When these broke the news, everyone who knew that family took a pause and shook their head. Those that were angry at Mr McCullen for being very unfaithful, found themselves at a lose on who to blame.
Should they blame the husband that is sleeping with his workers, his son’s school teachers and nearly every female that he sets his eyes on or the wife, who is also doing the same?
Also, by now, they could already guess what was happening. If the first set of scandals involving Edward McCullen was a mistake from his side. Then what about the scandals involving his wife? They knew that someone was targeting the family but who it was, they had no idea.
At a point during the chaos, everyone was expecting some scandals involving the true father of the two McCullen to come out, but they were disappointed.
A couple of weeks after the scandals involving Mrs McCullen, everything had gone quite and was starting go back to normal.
But not for the McCullens, as the family company, Cullen Corp was swept up in a massive scandal.
Everyone who had been following the explosive scandals involving the McCullens from the beginning, were not surprised when these new scandals were brought to light.
According to the news James heard, the scandals involving Cullen Corp dealed a heavy blow to the company, but they were able to tide through.
But only barely as the company still hangs by a thread. The company barely survived, but not without consequences.
The scandals left huge scars on the company that are yet to heal and would be impossible to heal.
During the scandals, the news was filled with how the company’s stocks was plummeting everyday, and how investors were pulling out, with several board members also resigned.
"Now that I thought about it. Brian wasn’t dressed as flashy as he used to and his numbers of lackeys has reduced," James said to himself.
"Unlike before, when a dozen lackeys followed him around like stray dogs, he was now left with only four. They must have abandoned him during the scandals, choosing to distance themselves from his downfall." James laughed coldly.
He remembered just how big and scary Brian’s clique was. From his girlfriend, who was the cheerleader of his highschool cheerleading team, to all the popular boys and girls in school, every single one of them were being ordered around by Brian.
But now, the clique has become a shadow of itself as Brian is almost all alone.
James was sure that the four boys that haven’t left and are still trying to milk some benefits out of Brian, would leave when there’s nothing left.
James couldn’t help but laugh as he found Brian’s situation to be funny... and sad at the same time. But it was funnier than it was sad.
"Now, I kind of feel bad that I’m going to kick him while he’s down but this is just karma. I know it’s not my place to judge but he crossed the line when he insulted Patty and Leslie.
And I still want to get back at him for when he tried to take advantage of Leslie. He will pay for the insult and disrespect he’s shown my family," James said to himself, with a quiet rage burning in his eyes.
Even though he has calmed down from the incident at the mall, remembering what happened still makes his blood to boil.
James immediately made up his mind. He’s going to tear Brian down completely and that’s the same with his father’s company. Since the company is already on its last leg, he’s going to give it the final shove it needs and send it crumbling to the ground.
One might say that James is going too far by targeting the company. But the company and its owners aren’t good people either.
There are a lot of crimes that has been tied to Edward McCullen’s names but has been swept under the carpet.
Crimes that should had at least earned him a sentence that would see spend spend decades or the rest of his life in prison, but they were swept under the carpet.
For this, James is willing to allow himself to become to lesser evil that will defeat the greater evil.
He’ll either team up with whoever pushed the McCullens into their current downfall, or he’ll take them down alone. And he’s very sure he has more than enough resources to do it himself.
Either way, he’s going to make Brian pay. And to to that, the first thing he will do is to investigate the company and the McCullen family.
"I will find the company’s weakest link. And once I do... I’ll tear it apart piece by piece."
