Chapter 44 - Chapter 44 – A Boss from the Shadows

On the 5th floor of Square City Building, Titan Studio's new location buzzed with quiet energy. The hum of high-end PCs, new monitors, and upgraded servers filled the room.

Five developers, eyes wide, surrounded Dustin, who looked calm but serious.

Dev 1: "Boss… why the move? The new setups, new gear… what's happening? You said after moving we'd get an explanation."

Dev 2: "Yeah… everything was running smoothly. Why suddenly relocate?"

Dustin took a deep breath. He fixed them with a steady gaze.

Dustin: "I sold the company."

Five pairs of jaws dropped. Faces paled. The room froze.

Dev 3: "Wait… what? Sold? But… why? Everything is fine. We were growing, users were increasing, servers stable… why?"

Dustin held up a hand, calm as ever.

Dustin: "Let me explain. You've all heard of Mr.Fool, right?"

Every developer nodded simultaneously, like some strange, silent orchestra.

Dustin: "He's the one who bought the company."

Silence. Absolute.

Their minds raced. Mr.Fool—the mysterious international hacking champion, the name whispered in forums and online chats—was now their boss.

Then Dustin's lips curled into a slight smile.

Dustin: "Don't worry. He's not shutting down the company, not firing anyone. In fact, he instructed that you all get the best setups, the newest gear, the upgraded office… everything."

The developers exchanged incredulous looks, disbelief mixed with relief.

Dustin: "Right now, he can't meet you, but he promised to visit in two months. And trust me… you can trust him. I do. He has a vision for this company—one that will take it far beyond what we imagined. Its future is limitless."

The five developers, slowly processing the news, began to feel a strange mix of awe and excitement. Their boss had been replaced… but by a genius no one had expected.

And somewhere in the shadows, Mr.Fool's plan continued quietly, unseen, unstoppable.
