Chapter 9 Betrayal

In the meeting room, Alex laid out his vision for the new hotel chain in Las Vegas. He emphasized that by the end of 2024, it would be up and running

"We need to think outside the box," he said to his team, "something that will set us apart from the rest.

He explained his concept in detail, highlighting what he wanted and what he didn't want.

*Luxury and elegance are overdone in Vegas," he remarked. "We need something mysterious, something that will pique people's

curiosity.

After assigning three team members to find an interior designer, the meeting concluded. Alex made his way to his office, but as he entered, he was surprised to find Christian lounging on his couch, engrossed in a game on his phone. Alex greeted him sarcastically, to which Christian responded with a grin and a salute. "Working hard, I see," Alex remarked dryly.

Christian chuckled. "Just taking a breather, boss. So, tell me about this new concept for the hotel chain."

"I'm thinking to go for a mysterious but technology theme."

"Why?"

"Because it is unusual, and it will pique people interest."

Talding a seat across from Christian, Alex explained his idea for a mysterious theme. "I want to hire The Raven," he said, leaning forward "Wait, who again?"

"The Raven.

Christian looked puzzled. "Who names their lod "The Raven.""

Alex rolled his eyes. "It's an allas. Chris."

"Oh, who's The Raven?"

Alex explained that The Raven was a hacker, shrouded in mystery. "No one knows who it is, but they are known for their notorious skills."
