Halford frowned. “Don't do anything stupid, Reggie. The government has power. We can shut down your company if we like.”Reggie ran his hands through his hair. “You can't do that. Graham incorporated was bought by Rockechilds Empire months ago. If you're going to shut us down, then you'll have to shut down Rockechilds Empire.”“Piece of cake,” Halford snapped. “We'll just tell them to take their business elsewhere.”Reggie became serious. “And when they do, how would you pay off the national debt?”Halford stuttered. “W–we'll figure a way out. There are many companies that would cooperate with us.”Moses laughed. “You're thinking like a kid. Even if all the companies pay you 40% of their income, it's nowhere enough to clear a quarter of the national debt. Graham incorporated is your only chance of settling half the debt you owe.”Even if this was true, Halford was too prideful to admit it. “I never asked you to speak,” Halford said. “You should be begging for your life.”Moses glared

The private jet touched down smoothly on Soltvian soil on a bright Monday afternoon. As the aircraft taxied to a halt, a convoy of military vehicles waited on the tarmac, flanked by armed guards and black-suited officials.The moment Moses stepped off the plane, he was greeted by a stiff-faced officer, who gestured toward the armoured car waiting nearby.“Mr. Potters, welcome to Soltvia,” the officer said curtly. “We’ve been instructed to escort you directly to Senator Grigoriev’s office.”Moses gave a slight nod. Without a word, he climbed into the back seat of the lead vehicle. The convoy roared to life, speeding through the city’s wide, pristine streets under heavy surveillance. The senator’s office was in a towering government building. The military vehicles pulled to a stop in front of the entrance, and they ushered Moses inside. The elevator ride to the top floor was silent, except for the muffled sound of military boots against polished floors.Senator Grigoriev stood wait

Moses hasn't been spending much time with his son since he moved to Preston City. Yuri has been taking proper care of Benjamin while Moses had his adventures.As Graham incorporated progressed with its Halo phones, Moses grew insanely richer. Cradling the porcelain cup in his hand, Moses walked to the sitting room and sat down before the TV. He placed his Halo phone on the table and called Genevieve. A shimmering holographic display of Genevieve's 3D image appeared before him. He took a sip from his freshly brewed coffee. “Good morning, Genevieve,” Moses said, staring at the time. It was 3.am in the morning. “Good morning, chairman,” Genevieve greeted with a slight bow. “Sorry I had to keep you all night to do this.”“Go ahead,” Moses urged her. “I understand you have a busy schedule later today.”Genevieve nodded. “Thank you. I'll begin by showing you your annual revenue wrap for the year.”This was Genevieve's idea. She suggested she deliver the progression of his revenue eve

Sebass Rice, the elder statesman of the Titans and a mogul in logistics, leaned forward, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes. “Are you serious, kid? A floating city? And you think you'll power it with some magical crystal? Sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi flick.” Next to him, Victoria March, a sharp-tongued tech investor, smirked. “Even if this… Aetherstone exists, you’re talking about costs that are humongous. Who’s going to pay for this? And why would anyone want to live in the clouds when we’ve got perfectly good land down here?”Felix Crane, a billionaire in aerospace, chuckled darkly. “Do you know the sheer physics of this? The engineering challenges alone would bankrupt every government on Earth. Let’s not even get started on maintaining stability. A gust of wind could bring your paradise crashing down.”Regina Voss, a luxury real estate tycoon, waved dismissively. “And what’s the ROI, huh? You say this isn’t about money, but everything is about money. Cheap housin

The interview week for Paradise City began. Thousands of applicants, from all corners of the globe, gathered at the facility Moses had rented for the interview.. Despite the Titans' relentless attempts to sow doubt and discourage participation, the turnout for the intervention was massive. By the end of the week, Moses and his team had assembled a core group of 2,000 exceptional individuals. These were the core group of the project. They are composed of scientists, architectures, and engineers. The remaining workforce, as Genevieve had estimated, would come from contractors, suppliers, and labor teams hired from construction firms worldwide. These constituted 200,000 workers. It was the most extravagant labor pool in history. Moses wasted no time in beginning construction. * * * * As the news of the successful interview and screening spread, the Titans began to feel the pressure. Their attempts to make Moses look bad in the public eye had only amplified his fame. Every br
