“I don’t think I have so much time left, son. I have been Favored greatly by the universe. I only had one wish and that was to find you, grandson, the one and only heir to the Adams Dynasty.”
“Heir?” Sebastian asked, still trying to figure out what his grandfather was on about, his heart still reeling with shock from the wholesome revelation and now he is talking about him being an heir to the Adams Dynasty.
“Yes! You, son, are the only surviving heir of the Adams, hence, it’s your duty to commit to this task and take over this dynasty.” The grandmaster replied.
“Such great responsibility for a college student, I have zero experience, sir,” Sebastian said.
“Adams are usually known for their bravery and leadership skills. And I’m sure you have that in you too.” The grandfather answered, a warm smile playing across his lips.
Taking charge of a whole dynasty wasn’t a joke, it required years of experience and proper guidance. It takes more than just a leadership skill to rule and maintain an inheritance that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Sebastian had only looked after himself his whole life, well except for Steve, but being promptly elevated to the position of an heir to a dynasty was something he had never dreamt of in his whole life.
Sebastian stood still, his both arms crossed over his chest as he listened quietly to what his grandfather was saying. Though his voice was shaky and inaudible, due to his current health conditions, he pained keen attention knowing fully well the Adam Dynasty was now in his hands.
“Benjamin…the box.” The grandfather shifted his gaze to Benjamin as he commanded. Benjamin bowed slightly and rushed out of the lobby.
In no time, Sebastian’s mouth dropped when he saw a big box gliding through the hallway down to the lobby on its own. He had never seen such technology in real life, but his face softened as he sighed when he saw Benjamin with an electronic remote, controlling it.
The box was so heavy it could never be lifted by a mortal man, except by mechanized tools. No one could even break into it easily except you have the key, which was a fingerprint or a code, not even Benjamin had access to the code.
The box was made of real gold with silver lining, the surface was so shiny it reflected images. It was the most luxurious item he had ever seen in his entire life after the Grand Villa.
The grandfather managed to sit upright, of course, Sebastian supported him. He pressed his thumb against a fingerprint detector and the box beeped, a green light flashing at every sharp corner of the box. After some seconds there was an unlock sound and the box opened up automatically.
“What is this box?” Sebastian asked, his eyes hooded as he checked it out from his standing position.
His grandfather smiled softly seeing how fascinated Sebastian looked, he had no idea what the Adams Dynasty was and how much they possessed in their name, he was sure he would be blown away completely.
Inside the box was even more fascinating, built precisely with compartments, each section filled with various files and documents that were finely arranged and segmented. The grandfather scanned through the box and carefully reached out to some documents.
The Adams Dynasty was known worldwide for its vast shares in real estate and pharmaceutical industries scattered around the world. That alone brought in revenue that ran into trillions annually.
Sebastian was perplexed, his field was medicine he was shocked to see Adams Pharma Limited amongst the numerous documents his grandfather was surfing through.
“You own Adams Pharma Limited?” Sebastian asked, his mind completely blown away as he stared into the documents.
“Your father, Adams had so much interest in Alternative medicines. So he opened up Adams Pharmaceuticals where they produce drugs from pure nature and not chemicals. Although he did it as a hobby.” The grandfather stated.
“My father was a doctor?”
“He was more of a businessman, medicine was only his passion or let me say his hobby. I know it runs in your blood too.” The grandfather said, still shuffling through the documents.
Sebastian was flabbergasted, he never imagined his father owned Adams Pharma Limited. That was his dream company and he had always wished to get a job there immediately after his degree. Hence he burnt the midnight candle and took his studies very seriously because they only employed the best.
Adams Pharma Limited was ranked 22nd position in the world, with an estimated yearly revenue of 700 billion dollars.
“Why are you thrilled over one company? Adams Pharma is only thirty years old. It’s a new possession of the Dynasty but I can’t lie, it is doing well for itself.” The grandfather stated, pride gleaming over his face.
“Here, take a look, son. Here are some of the ancestral prosperities passed down from generation to generation.” He handed over some documents over to Sebastian while he rested his back on his executive chair.
“What!” Sebastian’s mouth widened at every company’s document his eyes caught, they were familiar names and known worldwide.
It ranges from the almighty, A-Ranch Resort, a ten-star resort in Asia, a top certified cocoa plantation, oil wells in Africa and Asia, and gold mining industries scattered around the world. Each was top-class and ranked at least 10th position in the world.
However, while Sebastian kept shuffling the documents, one particular file grabbed his attention, it was an Adams document but the first name bore Psalm. Sebastian hooded his eyes to have a clearer view of the name written boldly on the front of the file, his mind reeling with different thoughts.
“Psalm Adams, who is that? Did you have a second son?” Sebastian asked his grandfather with curiosity as he read through the file.
The grandfather inhaled deeply, “The Psalms Adam investment, comprised of The St psalms Institute of Alternative Medicine, The St psalm Kids Hospital, and other properties as you can see in the file.”
“The St psalm institute too? That is the university where I schooled in Oakland.” Sebastian’s eyes widened.
“My son, Alexander Adams transferred those properties as a gift to his son, St Psalms Adams, as a birth gift the day he was born.” He stated, giving Sebastian a warm smile.
“Who is Psalms Adams?” Sebastian asked with furrowed brows.

You shouldn’t be thinking about that son. You have the whole dynasty in your name, I’m old and unhealthy, the Adams Dynasty needs a young blood to continue with her legacy.” His grandfather lamented, patting his hands on Sebastian’s shoulder.“I have been working for almost fifty years, and my brain isn’t working so smart anymore.” He continued.“You have absolutely nothing to worry about, son.

It would pass as a trivia/hot gist for the week.“Seb, Buddy….” Steve called weakly, fear laced in his tone. “We can still shun all this and go back to the dorm. You’re in trouble already, if anything goes wrong I’m afraid it will give the panel more edge over your case.” Sebastian could sense the genuine concern in Steve’s utterance, but what Steve wasn’t aware of was the kind of power he possessed.

Sebastian sat in front of the monitor while Benjamin paraded his room also waiting for a positive response.“Why is she taking so much time? It's almost an hour since she left your room!” Sebastian complained bitterly and Benjamin walked toward him, still bowing slightly.“Maybe he is giving her a tough time,” Benjamin said, trying to speak in Favour of Rose.“I told you that man wasn’t sincere, now see. He lied about having food poisoning.” Sebastian complained while Benjamin remained mute. He could tell the young master was paranoid and he didn’t want to make it any difficult for him.While they were talking, the monitor suddenly buzzed and turned on.

Benjamin rolled his eyes before he opened the door quickly and Rose came in quickly, after making sure no one saw her of course. He shot the door before glaring at her from head to toe. Anger and disgust brimmed from every corner of his countenance. Her behavior reminded him of his divorced wife, Shirley, who tried having an affair with the grandmaster. With the kindness of the grandmaster’s heart, he informed him about his wife's advances before she was thrown out of the villa after the divorce. Ben hated promiscuous women. However, Rose’s case was a bit understandable.“Are you ready?!” He asked in a stern voice and she nodded yes, although she still vibrated slightly from fear whenever she heard Benjamin’s voice.“Here is a camera. You can plant it in the flower vase facing the bed.” Benjamin said but her nose squinted with concern, she was scared to speak out.“Sir..” She began with a cracked voice. “I don’t think a camera will work.” she continued and Benjamin raised his brow

He could feel it in his guts that something wasn’t right about the doctor. He couldn’t just place it.

She was still shaking from the floor. Her eyes were tightly closed and her breathing filled with clogs.The grandmaster felt irritated, if not for the fact that they were trying to conceal the truth about Sebastian, they had no business carrying such a confrontation in his room. Rather, they would have easily disgraced her openly, outside the villa and in the presence of everyone. Not in a sacred place like the grandmaster’s chambers.“Take her away to the other part of my chambers!” He commanded deeply to Benjamin and he obeyed. He still needed to keep his health in check so it was wise they moved away from him. The noise and the wailing from the lady struck his brain hard which resulted in a headache.

His grandson had grown with so much wisdom all thanks to whoever brought him up.An unwise man would feel it was just a mere competition between two health practitioners but only a wise man would understand the stunt Sebastian was trying to pull.“Like I said doctor, I am not ready for any kind of medication today. And I do not want y'all insisting. My word is final.” The grandmaster said with the exact tone he used to respond to Tim and a grin of mockery was planted on Tim's face immediately. Targeted at making Sebastian feel embarrassed.“He felt his stupid herbal drugs were an exception. Stupid boy.” He mumbled under his breath.

He quickly Opened the door and Benjamin walked in and shot the door behind him.“What is the development, young master? I was startled immediately after I got your message.” Benjamin said, standing firm with just hands behind his back waiting for the next instruction.“Take a look.” Sebastian gave him his phone for a while and his eyes widened with each second as he went through the message sent by Karan Jose.“Really? They do have private meetings in this villa?” Benjamin asked with furrowed brows. His tone was laced with shock.“I told you I felt something was off with this guy. How do we get to hear their co

Why hasn’t permanent action been taken to ensure they met their Waterloo? Sebastian pondered to himself."My grandson, the enemy knows that our dynasty is equivalent to an unending treasure, their eyes would always be fixed on it.” He said but Sebastian still didn’t assimilate the message.“Grandfather, what do we do to wipe them out, I mean completely?” Sebastian asked, determination etched on his face. A weak smile curved upon the face of the grandmaster. “Wipe them off? As long as you are a great man, enemies will always lurk around you, son. It’s left for you to protect your empire or let them steal all you had labored for.” The grandmaster continued.Sebastian's annoyance became palpable. Although the grandfather was right, but he didn’t just see any reason why anyone would be so greedy to covet properties that he didn’t labor for.

Benjamin, despite being a bit weak quickened his pace as he reached out for his walking talking in the drawer. His heart was slamming in his chest because of the crazy thing happening that midnight. He needed to call the head of security to be on guard as he headed toward the alarm panel.“Hold on a minute, Benjamin!” Sebastian’s voice thundered, stopping Benjamin. His tone was laced with urgency while Ben halted immediately matching back to where Sebastian was.Sebastian squinted his gaze slightly as his mind reeled. “Before you sound the alarm, you must first change the lock code on the grandmaster's room. We can’t risk anyone snooping in there now.” Sebastian’s narrowed gaze was fixed on the monitor refusing to give Benjamin a single glance.“That’s a wise idea, young master.” Benjamin concurred with Sebastian's opinion.“Be fast and quiet about it, we must not wake him up,” Sebastian instructed.Benjamin nodded in coherence and walked off towards the grandmaster's room that was
