THAT SAME NIGHT 1:30 AM. RAID

Victoria's men came to break the pots. "The USB is in this house!"

Mom screamed: "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!"

20 neighbors came running with bats and shovels. They fought them. Smashed their car windows. The men ran away.

That same night, Mom hid the USB pot inside the well, behind the bricks on the inner wall. She smashed the power bank with a rock and threw it in the well.

Victoria thought the USB was lost forever.

Morning. Church bell. 5 years later.

    One month had passed since back time . One month since that first $500,000 trial order.The store room in the basement of Hale Tower was no longer a store room.It was a small, real factory now.The smell of old files was gone. Now the whole basement smelled like fresh, roasted organic corn chips. Ten workers, all from Willow Creek Valley, worked day and night in two shifts. Two packing machines that Ethan had bought second-hand were running non-stop. The walls, which once had damp patches, now had four framed cheques hanging on them.Cheque 1: Whole Foods - $500,000 - PAID AND SOLD OUTCheque 2: Trader Joe's - $2 Million - FIRST ORDERCheque 3: Walmart Local - $3 Million - ORGANIC AISLE CONTRACTCheque 4: Target - $5 Million - NATIONAL TRIALTotal Pipeline in 1 Month: $10.5 Million.For a store room that started with $500 in cash, it was a miracle.Olivia was no longer the quiet boutique girl from Willow Creek.

    Hale Tower, Basement, Store Room B.It was 6:00 AM. The 88th floor was still sleeping in silk sheets, but the basement was already awake.Ethan was doing his 5 AM routine. Thirty minutes of boxing. No fancy gym. Just a punching bag he had hung from a rusty pipe in the store room, surrounded by boxes of files and old chairs. Sweat dripped from his forehead. Every punch was for Victoria. Every punch was for the tower above him.The door opened. Olivia came in, holding two paper cups of coffee and a small packet of chips. Her hair was tied back, her eyes tired. She had been up all night."Morning, fighter," she said, smiling. She handed him a coffee.Behind her came Rick, Olivia's old foreman from the farm. A loyal man in his fifties, with hands that knew soil.Rick said, "Son, the buyer from Whole Foods is coming at 10 AM. If we get this order, it's $5 Million. It's our first big break."Ethan took the chips packet. It was their own chips. Made from the real corn of Willow Creek Valley,

But we never stopped digging. Today, we will dig again."Uncle was behind him. In the file - a copy of the USB, hospital papers, and one small file - HOPE FOODS - Profit $1.2M in 6 months.Victoria was already in the boardroom. White suit, 10 guards. Lucas was there too. On the table her nameplate: CEO VICTORIA HALE - 50%On the other chair: CEO ETHAN HALE - 50%20 directors. All bought by Victoria. They laughed seeing Ethan.Victoria: "Oh, look who is alive.

"Ethan, if you take this, Victoria will try to kill you again."Ethan put the USB in his pocket. "This is what I lived for 5 years. I am not scared anymore."Outside, 2 black SUVs. Men sent by Uncle Rafiq. One old driver, tears in his eyes."Ethan, my boy... Uncle Rafiq looked at your photo every day for 5 years. He always said one day we will meet."Ethan: "Where is Uncle Rafiq?"Man: "In Manhattan. In hiding. Victoria put a $1 Million bounty on him too. Let's leave before sunrise, otherwise Victoria's drones will see us."Mom kissed Ethan's forehead. "Go, son. But come back. This home is yours forever."Olivia took down the board of Hope Boutique and put it in her bag. "Let's go."The SUVs kicked up dust. Behind, the punching bag hanging on the oak tree was swinging alone in the wind.9:00 AM. Manhattan,
