2024-08-03 17:02:51The confidence surging through Alex was something entirely new—a heady, intoxicating feeling that filled him with a sense of purpose and certainty. With his father’s memories now intertwined with his own, he knew exactly where to go to claim his birthright.
“Summit National Bank,” Alex muttered to himself as he shrugged on his jacket. He could hardly believe that he was about to step into a world that had been beyond his reach until now.
For centuries, Summit National Bank had been the exclusive domain of the country’s elite—a fortress of wealth and power. This wasn’t just a bank; it was a symbol, a gatekeeper for those whose influence stretched far beyond mere money. To even have an account there meant more than being rich; it meant belonging to a different world. But now, Alex knew—an account had been created for him at this very bank.
Stepping out of the taxi, Alex paused to take in the grand facade of the bank. Its towering pillars and ornate architecture were imposing, almost intimidating. But Alex wasn’t the same person he had been just days ago. He squared his shoulders and strode towards the entrance, but before he could enter, a burly security guard stepped in his way.
“I’m afraid you cannot enter, sir,” the guard stated firmly, his posture rigid and his gaze as hard as steel. He didn’t even bother to hide his disdain as he looked Alex up and down.
Alex didn’t flinch. He knew exactly what the guard was thinking—a man dressed as shabbily as him couldn’t possibly belong in a place like this. But Alex’s confidence was unshakable. He had seen too much and learned too much to be deterred by a mere obstacle like this.
“I understand you’re doing your job,” Alex replied calmly, his voice steady, “but I need to go inside to claim my inheritance.”
The guard hesitated, thrown off by Alex’s unwavering tone. He blinked, as if reconsidering his initial judgment. Perhaps this wasn’t just some random vagrant trying to bluff his way inside.
“A person like you cannot possibly have an inheritance in this bank,” the guard insisted, though his voice had lost some of its edge. “Please leave the premises now, or I’ll be forced to call the police for trespassing.”
But Alex didn’t budge. He simply smiled—a calm, knowing smile that seemed to unsettle the guard even further.
“I need to speak to your boss. Please get me your boss,” Alex said, his confidence cutting through the tension like a knife.
The guard’s face was twisted with anger. How dare this nobody demand to see his boss? But before he could respond, he noticed something unusual—this young man wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. There was something about him that was different.
“That’s it; I’m calling the police,” the guard snapped, his patience snapping as he reached into his pocket. “You’ll regret wasting my time. You’ll be in a cell by the end of the day.”
The guard pulled out his phone and began dialing, his eyes never leaving Alex. But before he could press the phone to his ear, a voice interrupted them.
“What seems to be the problem here?” A man in a crisp suit emerged from the bank, his presence commanding instant respect. The guard froze, his hand hovering over his phone, caught off guard by the newcomer.
Alex recognized him immediately. The way the guard stiffened and responded with deference told him all he needed to know—this was the man in charge.
“Sir, this man claims to have an inheritance here,” the guard said, his voice suddenly meek. “He insists on seeing you, but I was about to call the police. He’s trespassing.”
The man in the suit—clearly the bank manager—looked Alex over, his expression curious rather than dismissive. There was something about this young man’s demeanor that intrigued him—something that didn’t fit with his appearance.
“Good day, sir. I would like to speak with the bank manager,” Alex said confidently, meeting the man’s gaze with unwavering assurance.
“I am Nathaniel Sterling, the bank manager,” the man replied, his voice measured, but there was a note of curiosity in his tone. “You claim to have an inheritance, but I’m afraid you might not be aware of what this bank is. Summit National Bank is for: ”
“The wealthy class only,” Alex interrupted, knowing exactly where the manager was heading. “I must be mistaken if I think I have an inheritance here, right? If I have any inheritance at all, it must be in a bank for the common class, not a premium account like the ones you handle.”
Nathaniel Sterling’s eyes narrowed slightly, but before he could respond, Alex dropped the bombshell.
“I am Alex Carter, son of Sebastian Carter. The heir of the Sebastian Southlake Corporation.”
The effect was immediate. Nathaniel Sterling’s face was drained of color, his eyes widening in shock. He looked as if Alex had just struck him with a physical blow.
“The son of Sebastian Carter? The heir of the Sebastian Southlake Corporation?” Nathaniel repeated, his voice quivering with disbelief.
It was as though the ground had shifted beneath him. This wasn’t just some audacious young man making outrageous claims—this was the heir to one of the most powerful empires in the country standing before him.

The young man’s appearance suggested he might be a street thug or a common thief, posing a risk to the corporation’s property.“What’s going on here?” Jake's voice cut through the lobby with authority as he turned his piercing gaze towards the secretary.The secretary quickly pointed a finger at Alex. “This man asked to see Madam Ava, sir.”Jake’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the young man. “And why does he want to see Madam Ava?”“I don’t know, sir,” the secretary replied, her tone dismissive. “But he doesn’t seem important.

Senator Victor Langford pressed the button on his desk now. He saw what the Morries did to Senate Emmanuel and hence decided to recompose himself.He knew verily well that if he suffered the same fate as Emmanuel did, there was a high chance he would no longer be rich because he would no longer be getting the corrupted benefit he was getting as a senator, and more so, his already saved account would be banned. So why risk his position because he wanted to make a point?Taking a deep breath, he steadied himself.“You may speak now, Senate Victor Langford,” Morries pointed at Victor immediately as he saw his signal color turned bright from his desk.Rising to his feet, Victor cleared his throat and said,“First and foremost, I’d like to apologize for my action earlier. I acted before thinking, so I sincerely apologize.”Morries smirked a bit on his face. He did not let it show or let it be obvious that anyone saw it. He understood why Victor suddenly apologized.

Approving the bill as a law, Morries decided to stop the harassment that happens in the cabinet once and for all.He remembered the first time he got to Velmoria and attended the cabinet meeting for the first time.The memory was still fresh in his mind, a reminder of how things had once been. He was shocked to the bone marrow by such things he saw happen in the meeting live and direct.As with no regards to the senate president of that time, one or two senators would climb up to their desks and decide to embarrass themselves by fighting with each other if they shared different opinions about a proposed bill.Yet, he was even more shocked because the senate president of the time would not penalize the senators. After he had calmed the situation, he’d just allow the event to slide like it never happened.That was then. This was now. This was his time.This was not going to repeat itself when he remained the senate president. Though he had fired Senator Emmanuel, he knew he must do some

Not only had Morries once asked Senator Langford to sit his ass down when he sprouted to speak when he was not called, but he had also done the first thing unimaginable. He had fired a senator under his watch. A senator who used to be superior to him before he became the senate president for that matter?!This had never been done in the history of a Senate meeting ever before. Morries was the first to enact his veto power like this, and the impact of his decision sent shockwaves through the room.Senator Emmanuel Nelson's mouth dropped. He had not expected this. Looking at how he had been a senator for a long time and how he was a senior senator, he had thought Morries would overlook this, and he could beat the heck out of Ava just the way he wanted. Now, with the reality sinking in, his confidence crumbled like a sandcastle under a crashing wave.Being a lady who prided herself on her self-esteem, Ava had never retaliated a punch w

Over the years, he had grown comfortable in the web of corruption, adapting seamlessly to its workings.Even before Morries became the Senate president, he had already known who Nathan was and how he took happiness in the corrupt happenings in the cabinet. And hence, Morries had turned this knowledge to his favor, ensuring that Nathan's influence served his interests.His bank account had grown bigger. The project he was in charge of as the senator kept worsening day after day. The funds meant for development vanished into private pockets, and yet no one dared to question him. So, Morries was not surprised by what he said. This was the expected narrative—one of greed and manipulation.Morries, maintaining his composure, pointed to another senator of the cabinet who pressed the button on his desk.

It was only a matter of time before they reacted.However, before the unimaginable started, he was going to take more action. He had no intention of waiting for their schemes to unfold before making his next move.Now that he knew the Senate President would do justice for the country and that he had another senator amidst the Senate who would not be swayed by corruption, he understood one thing clearly—there was always going to be a debate about the right things.

It was great to see that his longest wish was coming to realization under Alex Carter’s tenure.As he poured himself a glass, he remembered the words of Alex as he visited his office.“He said he’d shake the cabinet, and he really did!” He chuckled confidently as he crossed his legs, still watching the news.He reveled in seeing the bold face of Jonathan and that of Andrew sad on TV.“Those parasites!” He muttered, taking another sip. However, he knew there was still much to do as most senators in the cabinet were corrupt.If most senators of Velmoria were not corrupt, Velmoria would have easily been the leading country on the world stage.But here they were!!!He gulped down another glass of wine as he kept his gaze on the TV.
