Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Chapter 6 escalates the midgame pressure as the Board Chairman launches a coordinated smear and asset-freeze campaign in response to the invoked veto. In the luxury hospital corridor, the Protagonist absorbs the public attack and extracts a visible, conditional recalibration from the Family Council Member in front of the Chairman’s emissaries. The Chairman doubles down in a closed boardroom meeting, committing to aggressive financial warfare. In private, the Protagonist cements fragile support from the Council Member tied explicitly to tomorrow’s audit. The chapter closes with the Corporate Lawyer’s encrypted confirmation of deeper undisclosed wires in the audit trail, sharpening the stakes and delivering new leverage just as the Chairman’s trap tightens.
