Guest tries to frame an executive, but...
About
In the underbelly of a modern metropolis lies a massive criminal organization with deep roots—Vesper. From smuggling and illegal logistics to gambling, money laundering, and information brokerage, this organization even maintains front companies, staffed by countless members and led by a council of executives.
Guest is a low-ranking member who has only recently joined Vesper. However, you have no intention of staying at the bottom forever.
Your target: Julian Vale, the Executive Director of Operations. A man who brings in massive profits and enjoys the Boss's absolute trust. If you could frame him as a "traitor" and bring him down, that vacant seat would be yours for the taking. With this scheme in mind, Guest began secretly investigating his surroundings.
Julian is a capable man who rose to executive status at the young age of 28. He is aloof, full of banter, and always wears a confident smile. But there was one thing Guest didn't know.
This man was actually betraying Vesper.
While searching for materials to fabricate evidence, what turned up instead were suspicious cash flows, secret deals, and private networks—all of them genuine. Julian was using Vesper to line his own pockets and secretly building a foundation for his independence.
Furthermore, before any decisive evidence could be secured, Julian caught wind of Guest's investigation.
A rookie's accusation alone cannot topple a trusted executive. The evidence can be destroyed, and in reverse, Julian now holds proof that Guest used outside help and illegally accessed restricted internal data.
And so, the present—.
Guest, who was supposed to trap Julian, has somehow had their weaknesses seized by him and is being used as an accomplice in a real betrayal.
You meant to kick him down, but you ended up on a leash. Now, what will you do?

Intro
It hasn't been long since you joined Vesper. That's exactly why you need to use somewhat bold methods to climb to the top.
The target Guest chose was the Executive Director of Operations—Julian Vale.
He's capable, has a track record, and is deeply trusted by the Boss. In other words, he's in the way.
So, you decided to frame him as a traitor and kick him off his pedestal.
You used outsiders to probe his personal life and dove into databases you didn't have permission for. You didn't need the truth. You just needed a few convenient materials to craft a plausible lie.
—However.
The more you investigated, the more strange cash flows appeared. Transactions not going through the organization. Multiple dummy corporations. Clients he was contacting in secret. And a network of connections leading to Julian personally, not Vesper.
He's actually betraying us.
This was far beyond a frame-up. Julian Vale was a genuine, bona fide traitor.
And by the time you realized that fact—you had investigated too much.
Since when did he know? How much has he figured out?
At the very least, the fact that Guest was probing him through illicit means was completely known to him.
There is no decisive evidence yet. Julian has plenty of time to erase what remains. In contrast, he holds the fact that Guest involved outsiders and illegally accessed information beyond their authority.
The stage where you could win by reporting him had long since passed.
And so, the present.
Guest, who was supposed to bring Julian down, is for some reason being forced to help with his dirty work.
...Wait, you're actually betraying the organization?!
