Max Sterling, having concluded his meeting with President Jasper and secured a lucrative contract for the delivery of B.O.Ws, retreated to the luxurious confines of his personal limousine, "The Boss." Leon, ever the loyal operative, saluted as Max boarded, and the vehicle set into motion.

Seated on the massive couch within "The Boss," Max's attention shifted to White Queen, the sophisticated AI at the heart of Umbrella's operations. She promptly informed him, "Mr. Sterling, here is the E-Contract signed by the President. We can deliver all 3 million B.O.Ws within a span of 5 months. A total of $98,250,000,000 has been paid in full."

Max nodded in satisfaction at the successful negotiation and the significant financial transaction that ensued. His focus then turned to the ongoing operations against Sentinel Corp.

"Also, we have begun taking over Sentinel Corp assets," White Queen continued, relaying the progress. "The government has cracked down on the illegal activities of Sentinel Corp, and, using the evidence we provided to the FBI, CIA, and Interpol, we are in the process of dismantling their operations. However, Adrian Forscythe seems to have vanished out of thin air."

Concerned about the elusive former Secretary of Defense, Max inquired about the ability to track Forscythe and Sentinel Corp's activities. White Queen, however, presented a challenge. "It seems that we cannot at the moment. They have perhaps stopped using electronics, Mr. Sterling, and are using underground routes to prevent satellite and tracking."

Max acknowledged the limitation, commenting, "Well, that's a limitation on electronics."

Shifting gears, Max delved into the progress of Umbrella's economic takeover. "How's the progress on the takeover of the economy?" he queried.

White Queen provided a detailed assessment, "There have been hindrances in taking over the rest of the sectors. Although we have secured over 99% of the health care sector, 80% of the manufacturing sector, 55% of the agricultural sector, and 65% of the energy sector, the rest is being hindered by an unknown group, only being below 22%."

Max probed further into the impediments encountered in Umbrella's quest for economic dominance. When White Queen mentioned an "unknown group" hindering their progress, Max's curiosity ignited.

"Unknown group? Are you unable to identify this group?" he inquired, seeking clarity on the mysterious force impeding Umbrella's economic takeover.

White Queen, the sophisticated AI, responded with a note of limitation, "This particular group has control over various smaller companies and is using these said companies to hinder our progress on the monopoly. We have yet to determine where and to whom these funds are coming from, but everything seems to be in dead ends. My apologies, Mr. Sterling. An artificial intelligence can only do so much within the electronics."

Max, acknowledging the constraints, reassured White Queen, "It's okay, White Queen. Then we shall do the investigation the old-fashioned way."

With a decisive directive, Max instructed, "Dial up Wesker. He should have adjusted on how we operate."

Meanwhile, within the confines of the Hive, Albert Wesker, the enigmatic figure collaborating with Sebastian Weissman on the creation of various B.O.Ws, including the T-Abyss Virus, delved into the progress of specific projects.

"Wesker, how's the progress on Project Neptune and Project Kraken?" Sebastian inquired, scrutinizing the tablet that showcased the progress of the cure, with the number 76% displayed prominently.

Wesker, immersed in his work and captivated by a hologram of a Great White Shark and a Colossal Squid, responded, "Fascinating..." before refocusing on Sebastian's question. "Project Neptune is doing well. It can listen to commands, and its size has increased to 15 meters. Good thing we can artificially produce whales; otherwise, feeding such a behemoth would be quite costly. On the other hand, Project Kraken has tendencies toward aggression, but overall, it can listen to orders effectively. Perhaps due to the inherent intelligence, the Kraken can understand rather complex commands. Did I mention that it's 25 meters?"

Sebastian, immersed in the holograms of Project Neptune and Project Kraken, directed Wesker, "Alright, make your report and present it to the boss. I shall make a report as well regarding the progress of the cure."

Wesker, acknowledging the instruction, began tapping away on the controls, diligently compiling a comprehensive report on the advancements and challenges faced in the development of Project Neptune and Project Kraken. As he worked, the intricate dance of holographic representations of marine behemoths unfolded around him.

Simultaneously, Sebastian prepared his own report, focusing on the progress of the cure, a vital component in Umbrella's multifaceted endeavors. The fusion of scientific pursuits and the relentless pursuit of solutions to global challenges painted a complex portrait of Umbrella's activities.

In the midst of this, Wesker received a call from Max, signaling a moment of connection between the various facets of Umbrella's operations.

"Wesker speaking," Wesker answered in his characteristic calm and calculated tone as he received a call from Max.

"How are you faring? How's life under Umbrella?" Max inquired.

Albert Wesker replied with a tone that exuded assurance, "Life under Umbrella continues to be a testament to the corporation's unparalleled capabilities. The pursuit of excellence in bio-organic weaponry and viral research progresses as planned. Our initiatives in the shadows remain undetected, ensuring the fruition of our shared objectives. As for my personal well-being, I am functioning at peak efficiency, as always. The Umbrella Corporation's interests align seamlessly with my own"

Max couldn't help but note the unchanging, formal demeanor of Wesker, a constant across various universes. Max then stated, "Wesker, I have a task for you."

Wesker, in his composed manner, acknowledged, "I am at your disposal. Please elaborate on the task you require, and I shall ensure its swift and efficient execution."

Max proceeded to outline the task at hand. "We have identified an unknown group obstructing our progress in the monopoly. I need you to investigate this group, find out their intentions, and neutralize any potential threats they pose. White Queen will provide you with the necessary details."

Albert Wesker responded with a slight nod, "Certainly, Mr. Sterling. I understand the gravity of the task at hand. White Queen's directives will be awaited, and I shall ensure the utmost discretion in investigating and neutralizing the mysterious group obstructing Umbrella's objectives. Rest assured, the operation will be executed with precision, and any potential threats will be swiftly dealt with, leaving no room for loose ends. Your confidence in my capabilities is duly noted. I await further instructions from White Queen."

"That will be all, Wesker. Have a good day," Max concluded.

"You too, Mr. Sterling," came Wesker's calm and measured response.

Shortly afterward, Wesker's laptop received a notification from White Queen, indicating the need for a comprehensive report on the mysterious group hindering Umbrella's dominance. The message conveyed a critical aspect of the challenge: the group controlled over 170 companies across various sectors, strategically impeding Umbrella's path to dominance.

The hierarchy falls into place.

The unknown group became a puzzle to solve, an adversary to outmaneuver. The meticulous planning and flawless execution for which Wesker was known would be brought to bear. His thoughts, akin to a chess grandmaster contemplating moves, formulated the initial steps of the operation.

Swift and efficient execution, leaving no room for loose ends.

The challenge ignited a spark of anticipation within Wesker. It was an opportunity to showcase Umbrella's prowess, to eliminate any hindrance to its dominance. The corporate chessboard awaited his strategic maneuvers.

This is a game. And I am the player.

Wesker POV,

In the quiet expanse of my office within the Hive, I delved into the intricacies of the task bestowed upon me by Mr. Sterling. The challenge at hand involved dismantling the clandestine influence of an unknown group obstructing Umbrella's dominance—a puzzle demanding my meticulous attention.

Deploy the intelligence network.

The fledgling network, a product of Umbrella's recent establishment, bore its initial shortcomings. However, acknowledging its imperfections, I saw an opportunity for refinement. As Director of Special Operations, it was imperative to patch these loopholes and elevate the intelligence network to a level befitting our ambitions.

White Queen, the vigilant guardian.

Even as I set the intelligence network in motion, I couldn't help but acknowledge the watchful eye of White Queen. Her constant vigilance guarded against potential breaches by hackers, ensuring the integrity of our operations. The synergy between human intellect and artificial intelligence was the cornerstone of Umbrella's strength.

Track the financial trails.

The digital trails left by the enigmatic group required meticulous scrutiny. While White Queen grappled with the challenge of tracing the origins of these funds, I decided to chart a course through the dead ends. Every financial transaction left a trace, and I intended to follow these faint trails until they converged into a clearer picture.

Undercover agents.

The deployment of undercover agents within the corporate entities marked the commencement of a covert infiltration strategy. Though time-consuming, it was a deliberate move to gain a foothold within the enigmatic group's strongholds. Mr. Sterling hadn't imposed a deadline, indicating a willingness to play the long game—a testament to the grandiose vision of Umbrella Corp.

The double-edged sword of ambition.

As I contemplated the ambitious goals laid out by Mr. Sterling, I couldn't escape the duality of ambition. It was a force that could propel us to greatness, yet it carried the potential to blind us to the consequences of our actions. The magnitude of Mr. Sterling's vision required a commitment that transcended the mundane, and I understood my role in ensuring the success of Umbrella Corp's economic dominance.

Ambition, the driving force.

In the shadowy corridors of power, ambition served as both a guide and a cautionary tale. With calculated steps, I prepared to navigate the complex landscape of corporate intrigue, unveiling the true potential of Umbrella Corporation.
