Accidentally A Trillionth

A world of wealth

"I choose," he paused. He was moving too quick and what he had in mind was giving it all up.

She said a world of wealth. He had tasted the opposite and because of that, he hates the world. What about trying wealth? Would it make him see the world in a different light?

"How rich did you say I will be?"

She raised a corner of her lips, "Trillion rich. Your wealth would be too overwhelming."

Giving it a trial wouldn't hurt. He looked at the ring on his fingers and took a deep breath.

"I will keep the ring. Make me as rich as you said I would be."

She nodded in satisfaction. "That is the best answer to choose right now." she faced Fred and Yvonne. "It's your job to get the master ready to meet the clan members. We would be waiting." She instructed and faced Richard again. "We will be waiting for you downstairs. Your elites would all be there."

With that said, she walked out of the room, leaving her instructions to be followed. Fred went to get his cloth ready while Yvonne prepared his bath.

In less than a few minutes, Richard was dressed in a grey jumping suit and his hair was parked into a little bun.

Yvonne held his hand as he walked out of the room limping. They got to the big living room and his eyes almost popped out of his head seeing the large living room which was way bigger than the orphanage's living area, actually, it couldn't be compared with it.

He walked down the stairs and into the amidst of some people, bowing their heads to him. Not knowing what to do, he bowed his head too which became baffling to then.

Seeing the awkward situation, Rina quickly stepped in.

"Why don't we seat and start the meeting? Our lord here need to get back to his treatment."

They all nodded and sat down.

"My lord, it is such an honor to have you in our midst." One of them, Mr Geogory said with a smile plastered on his face.

Not knowing what to say, Richard nodded and took his gaze back to Rina.

"You must still be wondering what is really going on and why you got involved in all these." Another member, Matilda said. "First of all, we are the members of the Delta clan. Not family related but class related. Everyone of us are business men and women and we hold high social statue." she added.

Rina sighed and stood up, "Permit me my lord to explain," she went on, "The abyss is one of the most powerful, underground society that is not known to anyone except it citizens. It's a place where you either lose everything or you gain more. Many of the rich prominent men in this world are among this society and that's how they got their wealth."

Richard, filled with curiosity, questioned, "Isn't it a cult?"

She laughed, "Not at all. It is no where close to a cult. We are all about money, money, money." she went on, "The abyss is made up of twenty clans with each having a rank. The zigzag clan is of the lowest rank and the members aren't all that rich. The Alpha clan is the highest rank. The richest man on earth is a member."

Richard's eyes widened. "You mean Zachary Martinez?"

She nodded. "Yes. Even more powerful men are in that clan."

Richard couldn't believe his eyes. Zachary? A member of the society?

"Now that you are the king of the abyss, you have even greater statue than Zachary. Than anyone you could think of."

That was mind blowing. Greater statue than the richest man? Unbelievable. He is just a pauper.

"We Delta's are the third rank. Not what we want and we are aiming to be the most powerful rank in the abyss."

Mr Gregory chipped in, "The throne was meant for this clan this time and we had achieved our victory until Ben messed it up for us."

Another member, Edward, who had being quiet added, "Right now, we want to show them all that the Delta clan are not backing down. We the Delta clan would love to take you in as a member so the throne can remain here. You can't rule for long if you don't have a clan backing you up."

Richard knitted his brows as he summed up all the equations together. After getting a point, he asked, "So you want me to be part of your clan for your own benefit of taking over the first rank?"

She nodded, "Yes. You will get backed by us and you will be able to rule."

"But how would that be possible? You made mention of being at a certain level before anyone can join the clans. I have nothing and I am a nobody. You all are making a mistake by choosing me."

"We aren't idiot. It's being two weeks since you were in coma and we made use of that time perfectly."

"What are you talking about?"

"Something very interesting. Right now, you are the CEO of Winter-blues company. You have a possession worth $52,000,000 and when you open an account, you will be credited with $12,000,000,000. We your clan members made that possible. We bought winter-blues just for you."

Richard mouth was left wide opened as he tried to accumulate all what she mentioned? That kind of amount wouldn't be made by him in a lifetime.

"First of all, we will need to make you ready to meet the game lords. They are called the lords of card and are the once ruling the abyss, but in all, you are above them and they take your orders. No one knows you are the king for now, but they will when you appear before them." One of the men who was seated in the living room said to Richard, whose mouth was still wide opened.

Richard suddenly lowered his head and questioned, "Are you really sure this job is for me? I don't think I am capable."

Making quick money wasn't something he planned.

"I heard you have so many questions for Mr Leonard Stallion."

That got back his attention. "What about him? Do you know him?"

She laughed, "Don't be silly. He is a member of one of the clans. This is an opportunity to get him."

"What clan is he in?"
