Lucian let out a low chuckle. "Alright, I trust you."
Seraphina offered a small smile, but internally, she was screaming: This isn't my intuition, it's your son's!
Unfortunately, that was a truth she could probably never voice aloud.
If she ever told anyone, they would lock her up in a psychiatric ward.
The entire concept was just too insane.
The next morning, the team Lucian had assembled departed right on schedule, heading straight to Paradox Logic to begin the due diligence process.
Word travels fast in the corporate world, and by noon, the intel had already reached Landon's ears.
Landon was in the middle of a brutal workout at the gym when the call came through, causing him to freeze.
"Who's making a play for Paradox?" he demanded.
"Lucian Langford. Your brother," the voice on the other end reported. "He already has a team on the ground. Looks like he's going in for the kill."
Landon slowly lowered his barbell and sat up straight.
Paradox.
He had been aggressively tracking this startup for nearly six months. Back when he was still abroad, a friend embedded inside the company had leaked some highly classified intel to him.
He had been biding his time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
He never anticipated Lucian would suddenly hijack the deal out of nowhere.
Out of all the tech startups in the city, Lucian just happened to zero in on Paradox?
Did he somehow realize the true commercial magnitude of this company?
Landon had only locked onto it because of his contact's frantic recommendations.
"Understood." He killed the call and sat on the bench, his brow knotted in furious calculation.
On the surface, Paradox Logic looked like a run-of-the-mill tech firm, but his months of covert research proved they were sitting on patents that would become the ultimate chokehold on the AI industry within the next two to three years.
Whoever secured Paradox would effectively own the keys to the next era of technological dominance.
He had originally planned to wait two more months until his capital flow freed up before making his move.
