THE TRILLIONAIRE'S UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE One Herb
“What makes you sure that my memories weren’t lost in an accident? That’s the most logical explanation for it.” Roman said to Kade. “Can what we just witnessed happen to the ring be explained logically?” Kade asked instead of responding to Roman’s question.Roman shook his head in response. “No it can’t. But there’s still no proof that my memory loss was caused by anything unnatural or magic related.”“The fact that you still can’t remember anything after this long is enough proof. Also, if your memory loss was caused by an accident, it would have been rectified as soon as you put on the merged ring. I’m sure you already feel physically stronger. Mentally, you’re also stronger, even though mental power cannot be as easily evaluated as physical power.”“You’re right. I do feel stronger physically. But that could just be adrenaline still coursing through my veins.”“We both know it’s not adrenaline. But my point is, if your memory loss had been caused by just an accident, by increasing
THE TRILLIONAIRE'S UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE To The VIP Ward
The ride to the hospital where Annabel’s grandfather was hospitalised was silent. Roman was behind the steering wheel, because Annabel was in no state to drive, and he needed the action to keep him occupied. He had been confident enough to tell Annabel that he would be able to cure her grandfather, he was beginning to wonder if maybe he spoke too soon. He was new to the power and knowledge given to him by the ring. Wouldn’t it have been better for him to first test it out on a smaller level before attempting something of this magnitude?He had no idea what ailment her grandfather had, and according to her, several world renowned doctors had tried to diagnose him to no avail. No one would believe he could do it, especially since he didn’t have a medical degree.But as he stared at Annabel’s face, he realised that it didn’t matter if anyone else doubted him. She believed in him, and after all her help so far, he owed it to her to at least try. And he had no plans to fail, even though h
THE TRILLIONAIRE'S UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE His Diagnosis
“I have no need for tricks. I’m not a magician, nor am I a con man. I’m here to help.” Roman responded to Marren, who just scoffed in disbelief.Roman took a deep breath and accessed the ring’s medical knowledge, while staring at Marren with eyes tinged with the ring’s power. The diagnosis immediately filled his head, along with a few details he had noticed on his own. Marren was about to make another derogatory statement, but Roman interrupted him before he could say a word.“You’re sick, but you haven’t told anyone yet.”Marren paused as he heard this, but he refused to back down easily.“That is a very vague way of confirmation. I’ve coughed once or twice since you came into the room. Even an idiot can guess I’m not in the best of health.”“Your cough isn’t the problem, it’s just a symptom of the actual cause of your sickness. Your lungs have been weakened by years of chain smoking, and it’s beginning to affect your respiration rate. You can’t breathe in too deeply or it causes you

How could he even have gotten poisoned? We mostly share all our meals together, so if it was poison, other people would be affected. Especially me. I still live at home with him.” Annabel’s aunt, Janice asked.“This type of poison is not given through food. It’s too complicated to explain now. When I succeed in taking it out, you’ll see for yourself.” Roman responded.“So how do we take it out? His condition is getting worse.”“That’s because the poisonous organism has started eating his heart. In one week, if nothing is done, he will die. But I can take out the poison. I just need heated needles.”“Needles? How would that help? A poison should have an antidote. Some type of herb or medicine, not a needle.” Annabel’s father said sceptically.“You’ll just have to trust me on this. Like I said before, the poison isn’t normal, so normal means won’t work to cure it. You’ve already tried other means of treatment, and it didn’t work. What do you have to lose?” He asked and the man sighed, r
THE TRILLIONAIRE'S UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE Poison Worm
“You see? I told you not to listen to the words of this fraud. Now he has put my patient’s life in danger.” Doctor Alex yelled.One of Annabel’s cousins stepped forward and slapped him so hard that his head turned to the side, and red handprints began to show on his face.“Don’t you dare try to shift the blame to an innocent man. You were the one who insisted on removing the needles. When Roman touched him, he was stable. This is all your fault!”“He has been stable before this man put needles in him. I was only trying to help.” Dr Alex cried out, still trying to defend himself.“Well, do you have any cure that is sure to work? Since you’re adamant that Roman’s method is wrong? The cousin asked and Dr Alex stuttered.He had no solution to the problem. He didn’t even have a proper diagnosis for the old man’s ailment, else he would have used that knowledge to get in the family’s good graces, and win some prestige.The Doctor scrambled to try and stop the machines from beeping, but it di
THE TRILLIONAIRE'S UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE Assistant Challenge
Someone in the room screamed as they saw the worm come out of him. The others in the room, especially Dr Alex and his team were shocked. They all stared with wide eyes and dropped jaws, even after Roman sealed the worm in the jar. Annabel was the first one to recover from the shock in the room, and she rushed to her grandfather’s side. He was still a bit pale, but he was looking much healthier already.“Anna, my dear. What’s happening?” Her grandfather asked with a hoarse voice. He had been unconscious since he fell sick, and this was the first time in months that he was using his voice.She gave him water to drink and he finally looked around. “Why am I in a hospital? The last thing I remember is working in my office.”“Grandpa Frank, you’ve been sick for months. We found you passed out in your office, and we’ve been trying to find a cure for you ever since. Nothing ever worked till Roman came. I’m so glad to see you awake. I was so scared to lose you.” She sobbed as she hugged him.
THE TRILLIONAIRE'S UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE Invited Over
Roman pulled up to the Maxim estate the next evening. He took a moment to appreciate just how far he had come in the past few days. The mansion was ridiculously impressive—all gleaming windows, elegant stone pillars, and a front yard so perfectly manicured it almost looked fake. A week ago, a place like this wouldn’t have even let him onto the sidewalk. Now? He was walking through the front doors like a VIP guest. Life was weird. He stepped out of his car, smoothing down his black button-up shirt. He wasn’t the type to stress about things like dinner parties, but this was different. These weren’t just random rich people—this was Annabel’s family, and he could already guess they were going to want answers. About him. About how he’d saved Frank’s life. About who he really was. Of course they would. Weren't they the ones who invited him here? Before he could knock, the door opened. An old butler gave him a once-over and nodded. He was gray-haired and looked like he’d been serving th
THE TRILLIONAIRE'S UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE More Answers
Roman stepped out of his car and looked around. The place was just as he remembered—a high-end private place, the kind that only the rich and powerful had access to. The last time he was here, it was for the charity auction, and it had led him straight into a world he hadn’t been sure he belonged to.Now, he was back for more answers.He walked past the valet without bothering to acknowledge the man’s polite nod. His focus was on finding Kade.Inside, like the last time, there was the same dim, gold-lit atmosphere. The air was thick with the scent of expensive cigars and aged whiskey. The people present today weren’t ordinary businessmen—they were kingmakers, the kind who controlled entire industries from behind the scenes. Roman walked past them as he approached the front desk, where a sharply dressed woman greeted him with a professional smile.“Mr. Roman, welcome back. How can I assist you?”“I need to see Kade.”Her smile didn’t waver, but Roman noticed the slight shift in her ex

Unknown Caller
They agreed to speak further face to face, so Roman drove home. Kade didn’t bother knocking. The door slammed open, and he strode in. Without a word, Kade tossed a thick folder onto the table. A few pages spilled out, but Roman took his time picking them up, flipping through with lazy precision.The names Damien Vaughn and Victor Moreau were stamped all over the reports — contracts, cancelled permits, under-the-table deals that led straight back to them.Kade crossed his arms, waiting. His patience didn’t last long.“This is why your real estate deals keep hitting walls,” he said, voice tight. “They’ve been pulling strings, bribing people, blocking permits. Every damn move you make? They’re already ten steps ahead, making sure you fail.”Apparently, Damien had found a way to spite Roman. He seemed to have a new sponsor, and the timing was awfully suspicious.Roman smirked, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. “Let them think I don’t see it coming.”Kade’s frown deepened. “Wait. You’re
Assistant Calls
Roman was halfway through his third cup of coffee when his phone rang. Roman glanced at the caller ID. It was an assistant from the company he'd just bought from Reginald.“Talk to me.”“We have a problem,” the assistant said, cutting straight to the point. “The permits for the expansion project are stalled again. And there’s been an attempted buyout of one of our prime properties.”Roman sat up. “And who is behind it?”“We don’t know yet. The offer came through a shell company. But it’s clear someone’s moving against you. Lesser companies are getting approvals without any issues.”His jaw tightened. This wasn’t random. It was calculated. And he had a good idea why.Kade watched him closely. “Trouble?”“Looks like someone’s trying to choke out my business while I’m distracted.” Roman exhaled, rubbing his forehead. “We’re heading back there. We’ll only be there a day or two.”By the next day, Roman was back in the very country where his new company was located. He had employed quite a
The Broker
Roman and Kade staggered into a rocky outcrop, hidden beneath the jagged peaks. Their breaths came out in ragged puffs, as the adrenaline from their escape ran in their veins. Dust and debris clung to their clothes, and Kade’s left sleeve was torn where he’d barely dodged a blade.The mercenaries had caught up with them while they were driving and had blocked them upfront. They had to ditch the car and run after getting the tires blown out. They followed a path that was too narrow for cars to drive on, and before the group could mobilise themselves for foot pursuit, they finally escaped. For a long moment, neither of them spoke. Just the sound of their heavy breathing and the distant howl of the wind filled the silence. Then, Kade let out a sharp laugh — half exhilarated, half incredulous.“That,” he gasped, dragging a hand down his face, “was insane.”Roman sat on a boulder, exhaling slowly. He was still holding the herb they had risked their lives to retrieve, the small bundle of l
The Monastery
The monastery was quiet. Too quiet. Roman had expected some sign of life. Maybe a few monks that were still keeping the place going. But instead, unnatural silence stretched over the ancient stones.Kade noticed it too. He frowned and adjusted his bag as they stepped over the worn stone threshold. “Creepy. But that’s to be expected since we started this search.”Roman didn’t respond. He was already scanning the interior. The place was massive, built from weathered gray stone, with towering pillars reaching up to the high, vaulted ceiling. Faded murals lined the walls — scenes of devotion, monks in deep meditation, figures bowing before what looked like the herb they were searching for. The herb that could supposedly heal wounds no medicine could. The herb that someone else had tried to keep hidden.Roman could feel the gut-deep instinct that told him they weren’t alone even though the place felt deserted. He didn’t acknowledge it outright. Instead, he murmured, “We should move quickl
Off The Record
“You think they’re friendly?”Roman didn’t answer immediately. His eyes scanned the tree line, catching brief flickers of movement—figures slipping through the undergrowth, dark shapes blending with the green.“If they were friendly,” he finally said, voice low, “they’d have said hello by now.”Kade sighed, rubbing a hand down his face. “A hostile welcome committee.”The two of them kept moving, slow but steady, acting like they hadn’t noticed the shadowy figures. But their hands were close to their weapons, just in case. “Outsiders,” he said. “You do not belong here.”Roman’s grip tightened around the artifact in his pocket. He took a step forward, raising his hands in a non-threatening way. “We’re here for the temple’s secret. We have reason to believe we’re meant to be here.”The leader’s eyes went to the vial peeking from Roman’s fingers. Then he shook his head. “The temple does not welcome intruders. Turn back.”Roman met his eyes, unwavering. “I don’t think you understand. I ha
Another Jungle Cruise
They returned home. Roman sat hunched over the vial. He was using his fingers to trace the inscriptions on it. The light from the desk lamp made the symbols seem to dance on the glass surface.Kade flopped onto the couch and kicked his feet up on the armrest. “So, what’s the verdict? Is it another ‘drink this and turn into a superhero’ potion, or are we dealing with something more… explosive?”Roman didn’t look up. “Not sure yet. But these inscriptions… they’re different from the last one.”Kade groaned, running a hand through his already messy hair. “Of course they are. Because nothing in our lives can ever be simple.”Roman ignored him. He kept his focus entirely on the vial. He tilted it slightly, letting the light catch the surface, and that’s when he saw that the symbols shifted. Just a fraction, just enough to make him doubt his eyes at first. But then it happened again, the lines rearranging themselves into something new.“Whoa,” he muttered, leaning closer. “Kade, look at thi
RIDDLES
Roman stood in front of the jagged rock face, his heart pounding like a drum in his chest. The ring on his finger felt heavier than usual, as if it were alive, pulsing with some kind of ancient energy. He glanced at Kade, who was a few feet away, arms crossed, looking thoroughly unhappy.“Are you sure this is the right spot?” Kade asked, raising an eyebrow. “Because, no offense, but it just looks like… a rock.”Roman ignored him, pressing the ring against the rough surface. For a moment, nothing happened. Just silence. The kind of silence that makes you feel stupid for even trying. He frowned. Maybe Kade was right. Maybe this was just a wild goose chase.But then — something. A faint tremor beneath his feet, so subtle he almost thought he’d imagined it. Dust and tiny pebbles rained down from above, and Kade straightened up, his eyes narrowing.“Uh… Roman?” Kade said, his voice tinged with unease. “Did you feel that?”Before Roman could answer, a thin, glowing outline began to form on
More Clues
The war with the Vaughn siblings was over. Reginald was safe too. Roman knew it was time to go back, and so he did. Roman sat in the private jet, staring out the window. The turbulence barely registered because he was deep in thought. He had finally wrapped up the legal battle with the Vaughn siblings, securing his ownership of Reginald's company and sending his enemies into complete ruin. It should have felt like a victory, but there was a strange emptiness that lingered."You're quiet," Kade said from across from him. "You should be celebrating."Roman smirked, shaking his head. "I'll celebrate when the work is truly done. Right now, I have bigger things to focus on."Kade looked confused. "What now?" Then it occurred to him. "Oh. The herbs. And that book."Roman let out a breath. "Yes. I left it untouched for too long. It's time I find out what it's really leading me to."Kade nodded, understanding. "So, once we land, what’s the plan? Straight to the office, or are you going to lo
Check Mate
Roman sat at the head of the conference table. Kade was standing beside him, with his arms crossed. Roman's law enforcement contact across from them. He placed a thick folder on the table.“This,” the detective said, sliding it toward Roman, “is everything you need.”Roman flipped the folder open. Proof of bribe to a federal judge, and a recorded confession from one of the court clerks, who had overheard the exchange and agreed to testify.Kade let out a low whistle. “They’re done.”He shut the folder and leaned back in his chair. The Vaughn siblings had thrown every dirty trick at him—kidnapping, smear campaigns, bribery. But this was their sloppiest move yet. A bribe like this was career-ending, not just for them but for their high-priced attorney as well.Roman turned to his legal team. “File this with the court first thing in the morning. I want the case dismissed immediately. Then, set up a press conference.”A murmur of agreement swept through the room as his team got to work.
