Description
There is an insurmountable distance between us.
Even a child can see that.
If you called him the finish line of race, then I'm so far behind that I'm not even at the starting line yet.
Its not simply a matter of strength. Wars are never settled through might alone. All warfare is based on deception. This will be a battle decided through trickery.
But, the fact of the matter is that he is stronger than me. Very much so. If I were to face him directly, he would assuredly kill me without trouble. A less intelligent man might think to make some kind of suicide attack, use a bomb or somesuch. However, such a maneuver can only actually work if the opponents in question are relatively equal in skill. So, such a thing is out of the question.
His resources far outstrip mine. Under his command is one of the most far-reaching, richest organizations in the world. He has access to the best medical technology known to man, as well as a variety of absurd bio-weapons that outstrip me. If he bent his will to it, he could annihilate me. It would trouble him as much to step upon an ant.
He is far older than myself. He has been playing the game of deception for much longer than I. Not only that, but he is of an entire race of beings based upon trickery. It would be as wise for me to engage him in a battle of skullduggery as it would for me to engage Bach in a duel of pianos.
To put it simply, he is out of my league.
There is simply no way that I could ever beat him.

And that's why victory will be mine.

For all his might, for all his riches, and all his experience, he is weak. I have studied him, followed every scrap I could find in the records of the Underworld. I think it wouldn't be too bold of me to state that, until now, no one has ever had as complete an idea as I do of the kind of person he is. Of the few advantages I hold, this one is key. Sun Tzu stated, “If you know yourself and your enemy, you may fight a hundred battles and need not fear the result.” I have consulted those he's dispatched, both members of his own company and those who simply looked too close, such as myself. I pieced together his operation through them. I now have a rough scope of his resources. And they are indeed, massive. And that just makes my target all the more easier. Even if I cannot reach him with my actions, he will still feel the sting of my offensive most keenly.
He will fall. That is the one thing that I will ensure.
It matters not how much power he has, or how much money.
I do not mean to simply kill him. That is far from my intent.
Instead, I will destroy all his works. That empire that he takes so much pride in, I will tear it down about him and he will be helpless to stop me. I will expose him for the fraud that he is, and those close to him will abandon him. As he stripped everything from me, so shall I be avenged sevenfold. And in the end, when everything he ever cared about is ruined and he finally realizes how alone he is, then I will show myself.
He won't remember me, of that I'm sure. After all, does a spider remember every fly it devours?
I will speak the first thought that I ever had about him, after hearing why he became the man he is.
Then, I'll leave him to his misery.
So that when he screams out in rage, and when he kills me, he completes my victory.
For true victory is not of whom ends whom, or who has the most of what. In the end, victory is rewarded to the man whose spirit is unbroken.
And I will break him.
And when I'm dead, he will never be rid of me.
In all his private moments, in the years to come of his centuries long lifespan, he will always remember me, above all others.

For I will be the man who beat him.
