Lucien's POV
"From tonight, the Volkovs are blacklisted from any company associated with us. Any partner that deals with them will also be blacklisted." His words felt like a declaration.
So far in my battle, I had avoided involving the Orlov family directly. They were a family of equal influence, and the battle would have been bloody, not to forget both families operated primarily in different countries.
I wanted to destroy them with my strength. I wanted to prove to myself I was better than Raphael. I did push them to the edge, a feat most rivals would never achieve, but Volkov Apex was a big company with many connections that kept them afloat. Some of those connections were associated with the Orlovs.
Kirill declaring war like this made one thing certain. He was on my side, and this would cause the market to divide, forcing people to choose sides. This wasn't just a family feud anymore but a full-out corporate battle.
