The God Virus

Fifteen minutes later, they finally came out of their extreme moods.

Almost everyone started accepting the truth, even though they had pale faces as hopelessness was plastered on their face, at least now they could think with more clarity.

The Japanese CEO said with his blank stare while his head was down "It seems we have a spy among us, maybe one of the bodyguards, or one of the secretaries, or someone else who put a hidden camera on our last meeting conference room... I don't know... and it doesn't really matter anymore... as he was probably just a pawn." After saying this he went quiet again.

The CEO from the US said with a grave face, he was still pale, but his paleness was much lesser than the other CEOs, it was clear he had one of the strongest minds among the allied CEOs as his eyes too had a lot more focus in them than the others "You're right, like you said, it doesn't matter anymore and we don't have the time to look for him too, so let's just forget about him. Now is the time we accept reality and act according to our options..."

After seeing no one talk or respond he continued "Our companies are definitely doomed, as the reverse engineered phones we released will be collected and banned from being sold anymore... and with this... most of our companies won't be able to tolerate this much damage and will eventually go bankrupt, of course, some of your phone companies that are in other industries too might recover from the damage, but that will be hard and even if it happened eventually, that's unrelated to everyone present here as we will be all fired from our companies or forced to step down from our positions."

Everyone still wasn't talking but most of them were at least listening now, trying to see where this was going and what options were left for them.

Seeing most of their attention was drawn to him, the CEO from the US continued "And if you stay in your countries, except some of you that have more loose laws or very powerful connections, the rest will be all detained and imprisoned by their own governments and put to prison, so I suggest all of us run away to a country that won't detain us and doesn't care about these crimes we've committed, a country that won't hand us back to our countries."

Listening to his words even though they were very much disappointed that there was no way other than running, they knew this was their only option, so some of them started nodding their heads, very much depressed.

"Don't lose hope everyone, we will run for now, but that doesn't mean this is over." The CEO from the USA said, his eyes were red with hate and veins were pulsing through his neck, it was very much obvious other than being extremely upset and pale, he was hiding incredible hate and fury inside him which showed up at this moment.

Seeing his expression some of the CEOs who by this time had almost regained their outward external calm thought. 'He is a person with an ocean of patience, he would definitely be a scary enemy for that company in the future, those we too would take revenge if we get the chance ever.'

As they were thinking this, the Korean CEO said "I don't want a life full of running, I will stay and face my punishment, this is something I brought upon myself, so I will face it with no rage now that I've lost."

Listening to him some of the CEOs admired him for his decision thinking he was a true man, thinking they could never make such a decision, while some disdained his decision, thinking this was complete idiocy, not bravery.

Listening to the Korean CEO, another person actually decided to turn himself in too, like the Korean CEO, he was the CEO from Finland.

This CEO was actually the best phone seller around the world before all this had started happening, before the Virus Industries had appeared.

"... I think I would be able to get away with it, so... so long... sigh," Suddenly, the CEO from Russia said with a Russian accent standing up as he started walking outside the conference meeting room, but before leaving he couldn't stop himself from sighing.

He was one of the CEO's that had talked the least, he thought this alliance would be able to make a genius plan on how to deal with that company, but now seeing them completely give up as they were only planning to run away, there were no more reasons for him to stay there, so he decided to leave at one, as they were of no use to him anymore.

"Okay, those who want to turn themselves in or has a way to get away with it, can leave and do that, while those who want to try my way... stay." The CEO from the US phone company said.

After that, while the governments were looking for the CEOs and searching all of their companies' documents and files, the CEOs were running away to different countries.

But now that they had run away, their crimes had gotten even worse and more severe and if they ever got caught, they would face even more grave punishments.

The countries they chose were either a country that wouldn't bother themselves with them, or countries that were the enemy of their own country, so they wouldn't send them back to their own country.

Of course, the Korean CEO and the other CEO from Finland who had followed his steps had gone back and turned themselves in, while the Russian CEO did the same.

WITH VIRUS

"Smart move." Virus said in a low voice grinning all of a sudden, now it wasn't clear who he meant exactly when he said 'smart move', the Russian CEO, the Korean CEO and the other CEO from Finland, or the other CEOs who were running away.

Right now, he was still sitting on his coach, while Bella was sitting on his left side, in the same place she was used to sitting. But it wasn't only the two of them anymore as another person had joined them a while ago, Ella.
