2024-10-29 19:42:56"Yes sure you can, it's yours you can do whatever you want with it" Richard said.
Richard then signaled Sam, as he went out then shortly he returned with a machine, kind of a smaller version of an ATM machine. He then placed it at the table.
"You can test it now Marcus, you can withdraw any amount you can think of" Richard said.
"No that wouldn't be needed, it's just for verification so I'll just check the balance"
Richard noded, Marcus picked up the card, immediately his hands sensor touched it the golden symbol beamed green, Marcus was shocked as he had never seen anything like it before, however Sam and Richard just smiled, he was really the one.
Marcus slotted the card into the machine and requested for a balance enquiry, he didn't need to input a password as it just automatically fulfilled the request.
Marcus almost threw the machine away seeing the account balance it showed, he couldn't even count the so many zeros, it was far more than any billion or trillion. The wealth of the Blackwoods was unlimited. It was really an impossible amount.
"Now that you have confirmed, you may now take your place as the heir to the family's business, Sam will help you with whatever you need" Richard said with a confident smile.
However Marcus was in a State of not knowing how to feel, whether to be happy, shocked, scared or scream. Just yesterday he lost his wife to another man because he was poor, and overnight he had become a billionaire, no a trillionaire, even more than that, as even he doesn't know what title to give himself. For so many years the world thought the Blackwoods were no more but unknown to them, Richard was secretly operating the business, this brought up a question from Marcus.
"If the Blackwoods were still functioning why'd you keep it a secret, why isn't the world hearing about it anymore?"
"It wasn't necessary, and I wasn't the real owner of the business, so it would only bring unwanted attention to my side, and our enemies are still on the loose, so I kept it low-key. But now that you are here, you can revive back the family's name"
"Okay now I understand, you are really a good person" Marcus said.
"You seem tired, Sam will take you to your room now, so you'll have some rest, then maybe we'll talk more in the evening"
Marcus replied with a nod, as Sam took him to his room, they got to an elevator which Sam swiped open with his security card, then after like twenty minutes, they finally arrived at the top, walking towards Marcus's room, as Sam opened the door. "This is your room sir"
Marcus walked in slowly, his eyes were met with the astonished beauty of the room, the room was very large, a king sized bed, a glass made wardrobe, the sparkling white tiles and the cool temperature.
"I'll leave you to rest now young master, in case you need anything, I'm just down stairs"
"Alright" Marcus replied, and so Sam left with a bow, closing the door.
Marcus moved around the room examining it properly, everything was top notch inside. He then went inside the bathroom to take a bath, entering into the bathroom felt like he was in a fantasy castle, the beauty of the room extended to the bathroom, a wall sized mirror, a golden made shower and many other expensive features.
After spending twenty to thirty minutes in the bathroom, Marcus came out with a white large towel on his waist, he opened the glass wardrobe, and so many collection of clothes, from night wears, to casual clothes to expensive suits. Marcus selected some casual wears and put them on, they were a Lois vuton brand, as casual as it is, it's worth around $19,000.
He then dived on his bed, the bed was so soft that it felt like his body would sink in it, so this is what rich people enjoy.
Marcus thought ran back to Hannah, this was the life she always wanted, if she didn't have cheated on him, by now she'll also be enjoying what he has now, he wished she hadn't left him for another guy, he wished she didn't cheat on him with multiple men in an adult film industry. But then again she didn't deserve all of this . Maybe that's why God made it happen this way.
She left him for a guy she thinks he's rich, but now he's not even up to 1% of Marcus's current status.
Marcus is now an epitome to wealth, he could get everything and anything he wanted in the world.
Remembering how Hannah slapped him in public, how her new fiance sent his bouncers to give him the beating of his life, with all these memories, Marcus was going to make them pay for every single thing, in a slow burn. He would show them what he was made of now.
Marcus thought was interrupted by a knock on the door, it was Sam.
"Come in," he said.
"Young Master, the boss wants to see you," Sam said, bowing his head slightly.
"Alright" Marcus said as he followed Sam.
Richard was still in his office, as the duo arrived. "Have a seat Marcus" he said softly.
Marcus sat, before saying "you called for me sir"
"Oh please don't call me that, you can call me by my name" Richard corrected.
"Alright sir…I mean Rich… Can I just call you Uncle Richard? I don't feel comfortable calling an elder by their names" Marcus asked.
"Anything that suits you," Richard smiles.
"Thank you Uncle Richard"
"The reason I called you Marcus, I've arranged for a small party tonight at our mansion, it's to fully welcome you as the new head of the Blackwoods Webchain, and to officially introduce you to the family's business partners, CEOs and managers" Richard started.
"Is it compulsory?" Marcus asked, not feeling much excited about it.
"Yes it is, I know you are feeling a little nervous about everything, and it seems a bit rushed. But trust me it's for the betterment of the family's business. You are no longer who you used to be Marcus. You are now the heir to the Blackwoods conglomerate, and you need to start acting like one. You are no longer the poor and helpless man you used to be but now a quadrillionaire, you are the heir to the richest family on earth. You are now a Blackwood."
Richard word filled up Marcus with courage and boldness. Just the right word he was looking for, he was now a quadrillionaire.
"Alright Uncle Richard I'll try my best" Marcus said with an assuring tone.
"Good, Sam will help you choose a perfect outfit for the party, I've ordered a customized phone for you, it'll be deliver
ed shortly, you'll have to look your best, because you are now the top one."

"What's wrong with you Marcus, you think your little act of bravery now makes you at the same level with Maxwell? He's…""Shut the hell up Hannah, you have no right to tell me what to do, and who told you I was trying to compare myself with your so-called boyfriend?" Marcus cut Hannah's word, making her look at him in shock, indeed he has changed."How dare you raise your voice on my fiance!" Said a defensive Maxwell."You mean your fiance who's a public figure? Oh pardon my manners" Marcus taunted."Let's just go inside babe, he's lost his mind" Hannah said as she pulled Maxwell inside the building, feeling embarrassed.Marcus watched in smile as they went in, he dipped his hands in his pocket and made a relieved smile before turning back to his car.

Maxwell hesitated outside the bathroom door, his conscience heavy with regret. Softly knocking, he called, "Hannah, can we talk? I didn't mean to hurt you; I just let my frustration get the best of me. I hate seeing you upset, and I want to make things right between us. Please, let me apologize properly."After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing Hannah's teary-eyed gaze. She sniffled, looking both hurt and defensive. "Maxwell, you can't just say things like that. It hurts, you know?"Maxwell took a step closer, his expression remorseful. "I know, and I'm truly sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I was frustrated, and I let it out on you. It was wrong, and I regret it."Hannah folded her arms, still visibly upset. "Regret doesn't change what you said."He nodded, acknowledging her pain. "You're right. I should never have told you to shut up. I respect you, and you deserve better."Silence lingered for a moment before Hannah sighed, relenting a bit. "It's just... I don't want to f

Maxwell sat at his desk, his face a mask of frustration and rage. It's been four days and the new boss has refused to reply to his texts. He even requested for the project approval but it was declined for no reason. He was all alone today, Hannah didn't come with him today, for some reason he's now extra cautious about whatever he does, not to get in trouble.Maxwell scrolled through the computer in his front, checking the informations from other companies owned by the Blackwoods, and their project offers were already accepted and even begun. So why's his different, why is it only in the H&M industry? Something isn't right, it's as though for a particular reason the new head boss is targeting on their company. In the middle of his thoughts the door was knocked."Who is it? I'm busy" he asked."Sir it's me Henry" Henry replied."Not now Henry, I'm not in the mood for work" Maxwell said with a frown.‘Sure you're not. You're always not in the mood for work' Henry mocked within himself.

"How many times have I warned you not to call me a thing? I thought we'd settled this some days ago?" Marcus said with a serious face."What do you think you are doing here? Dressed in a borrowed suit, have you also come here looking for a job the same way you came to H&M? you begger!" Maxwell blasted him with insults.The guards immediately set out to interfere, but Marcus immediately signaled them not to, otherwise by now Maxwell would be crawling home without a limb."What are you doing here Maxwell? What'd you want?" Marcus asked with a calm expression."I should be the one asking you that, what on earth do you think you are doing in the Blackwood's mansion of all places, have you no shame walking in a place that is worth ten times more than your life?" Maxwell taunted."What's wrong with me being here? Am I not as human as everyone else? Or does that make you surprised?" “Don't ever compare yourself with others, y

Maxwell drove into his compound, his house was a fancy duplex, with white paint. He stepped out of his car, his mood was sore, he didn't even reply to the greetings of his security guards. He opened the door, stepping into the sitting room, it was a vision of luxury, the kind that would only be found in a wealthy home, fresh flowers adorned at every corner. Hannah was comfortably seated on one of the couches, she crossed her legs, held a glass of wine and was watching a movie on the large television.She immediately noticed Maxwell's presence, and his sore face, "you're back horny, how's work" she welcomed him, as she went to give him a warm hug, although he didn't hug her back, he only grunted."Work isn't fine at all Hannah” he breathed heavily. “Everything isn't okay!" he yelled, walking to take a seat on the couch."What do you mean?” She dropped her wine on the center table. “What happened?"

As the sun began to rise over the city, casting a golden glow on the streets, Clara and her team stood outside the docks, their breaths still heavy from the fight. With Magnus apprehended and his henchmen scattered, the sense of victory was palpable.“Is it really over?” Mara asked, her eyes reflecting the morning light.“Feels like it,” Clara replied, a cautious smile creeping onto her face. “We’ve fought too hard for this to slip away now.”Marcus stepped forward, pulling out his phone to call the authorities. “They’ll want to take Magnus into custody. This time, he won’t be able to wriggle his way out of it.”As the police sirens wailed in the distance, a mixture of relief and anticipation washed over the group. Clara could hardly believe how far they had come since they had first banded together to confront the darkness in their city.In the following days, word spread about Magnus's defeat and the disbandment of his criminal network.

.“Are we really done with Magnus?” Eli asked, stretching as he joined Clara, his face still a mix of exhaustion and disbelief.“Only for now,” Clara replied, glancing at Marcus and Mara, who were going over the plans for their next move. “But it feels good to know we stood up to him. He won’t be back anytime soon.”Marcus looked up, a thoughtful expression on his face. “We need to regroup and figure out what’s next. Magnus may be in custody, but we know he has allies. We can’t let our guard down.”Mara nodded in agreement. “And we need to find out what else he was planning. There’s got to be more to it than just controlling the city through fear.”“Right,” Clara said, her mind racing with the possibilities. “Let’s start by gathering any information we can. We need to dig deeper into his operations.”As the day unfolded, they began strategizing. Clara took charge, flipping through notes and files they had collected over time. “We need to hit his connections hard. If we can disrupt the

Eli groaned but pushed himself up, adrenaline surging through him despite the throbbing pain in his ribs. “I’m good,” he gasped, his eyes darting to the downed guard. “Let’s finish this!”“Good,” Marcus said, his breath steadying as he turned back to the entrance, where the chaos was still unfolding. “Clara, stick close to me. Eli, take the rear. We need to find a way to secure this place before Magnus decides to make an appearance.”“Right!” Clara replied, determination etched on her face. Together, they charged further into the heart of the factory, the sound of the fireworks still booming outside, providing a cacophony that masked their movements.As they navigated through the maze of machinery and crates, the atmosphere grew thicker with tension. Clara’s instincts kicked in, and she felt a sense of urgency pushing her forward. They needed to find Magnus and stop him before he could mobilize his men.“Where do you think he is?” Mara whispered, glancing around at the shadows that lo

As the group approached the factory, the moonlight cast eerie shadows over the crumbling walls. They could see the faint outline of guards patrolling the perimeter, their silhouettes shifting in the dim light. Clara felt her heart race, every instinct in her body screaming that they were heading into danger. Yet, beneath that fear was a resolute determination to confront Magnus and end this once and for all.“Okay, remember the plan,” Marcus whispered, his voice steady despite the tension. “Mara and Eli, you’ll set off the fireworks on the east side while Clara and I create a distraction on the north entrance.”“Got it,” Mara replied, glancing at Eli, who nodded in agreement.As they moved into position, Clara could feel the weight of the moment bearing down on her. She glanced at Marcus, who was scanning the area with a focused intensity. “Are you ready for this?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.“I have to be,” he replied, determination flashing in his eyes. “For everyon

“I still can’t believe Magnus is out there,” Clara said, pacing the small room, her brow furrowed with concern. “He’s not the type to back down easily.”Marcus leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his jaw set in determination. “He’ll come back. We need to prepare for whatever he’s planning. We can’t underestimate him again.”Mara, sitting on a makeshift bench, rubbed her temples, still feeling the tension from the fight. “What if he tries to retaliate against us personally? He knows who we are now.”Eli, leaning against the table, chimed in. “We need to gather intel on his operations. If we know where he’s hiding or what he’s planning, we can strike first.”“Good idea,” Marcus replied, his mind racing with possibilities. “But how do we find him? He has a network, and we’re just a small team.”Just then, Clara’s phone buzzed, breaking the tension in the air. She glanced at the screen, her expression shifting from concern to curiosity. “It’s a text from a contact I haven’t heard from

With the remaining henchmen falling one by one, it became clear that the tide was turning. The cacophony of chaos seemed to intensify, but Marcus’s focus sharpened on Magnus, who was now cornered against the wall, his bravado fading.“Looks like your little party is crashing down, Magnus,” Marcus taunted, stepping closer, his fists clenched.Magnus glared, anger burning in his eyes. “You think this is over? You have no idea what you’re dealing with!”“Maybe not, but I know what I’m going to do next,” Marcus said, his voice low and threatening. He motioned to Eli, who nodded and moved to flank Magnus.Suddenly, Magnus lunged toward a nearby table, grabbing a glass bottle and swinging it at Marcus. The glass shattered against the wall just inches from Marcus’s head.“Careful!” Marcus shouted, ducking just in time.Mara, ever vigilant, charged forward again, this time aiming a solid punch directly at Magnus’s jaw. The force of her hit sent him staggering backward. “You won’t get away thi

The days that followed the ambush were a blur of activity for Marcus, Mara, Clara, and Eli. Each moment was filled with tension, anticipation, and the weight of what lay ahead. They meticulously planned their counterattack against Magnus and his henchmen, determined to turn the tables and regain control of their lives.The small, dimly lit warehouse they had chosen as their temporary headquarters buzzed with energy as they gathered around a large table cluttered with maps, photos, and notes. Marcus pointed at a large map of the city spread out before them.“Alright, here’s the plan,” he began, his voice steady and authoritative. “We know that Magnus operates out of several locations, but we believe he’s using this old warehouse on the outskirts of town as his base of operations.”Clara leaned closer, her finger tracing a route on the map. “If we can get the jump on them here, we can cut off any escape routes they might have. It’s a perfect setup for an ambush.”“Exactly,” Marcus agree
