The Overpowered Son-in-law Harry's coup
The room fell silent once again as everyone processed what had just transpired. They knew that this argument had deeper implications for the phoenix family.William was taken aback by Nicholas' threat. "You would impeach me for speaking the truth?" he asked incredulously.Nicholas stood his ground. "Harry is my friend, and he has done nothing wrong," he replied firmly. "I will not have baseless accusations being thrown around and tarnishing his reputation.""But what about the reputation of our family and the bank?" William retorted. "We have lost a quarter of a billion dollars, and we need to get to the bottom of this.""I agree," another family member spoke up. "We need to investigate every possibility, including the involvement of outsiders and our own employees."Nicholas scoffed. "Investigate all you want, but Harry is not to be touched. He is innocent, and that's final."William sighed heavily, realising that he wouldn't be able to convince his son. "Very well, Nicholas. But ma
The Overpowered Son-in-law Sentenced
Nicholas was brought before the throne room in chains. He saw Harry sitting on his throne with the crown on his head. "Harry, how could you do this to me?" Nicholas said bitterly."I did what I had to do, Nicholas," Harry replied with a smirk."You were my friend. My brother. And you betrayed me," Nicholas said, his voice filled with anger and hurt.Harry shrugged. "You were a weak king. You couldn't even hold your family together. You lost the faith of your people. I did what needed to be done."Nicholas struggled against his chains. "You took everything from me. My family. My throne. My people. How could you be so heartless?"Harry stood up and walked towards Nicholas. "Because I am a better ruler than you ever were. And now, the United Republic of Niklauria has a king who will lead us to greatness."Nicholas shook his head in disbelief. "I never thought you would do something like this. You were supposed to be my friend. My ally."Harry laughed. "You were too blind to see that I w

They are demanding that you release Nicholas and step down from the throne. We must address their grievances and work towards a solution."Harry angrily stood up from his throne and yelled, "It's none of your business what I do with Nicholas! I am the king, and I will rule this country as I see fit. If the people don't like it, they can suffer the consequences."The representatives tried to reason with Harry, telling him that the people's grievances were valid and needed to be addressed. They urged him to consider stepping down for the goo
The Overpowered Son-in-law Aurilia prison
Aurilia prison was a forsaken place, built by the Phoenix family to contain the worst of society.It was located on a small island, surrounded by the treacherous sea, and was known to be inescapable.

He beat him up every day and insulted and mocked him at every turn."Look at you, the mighty king reduced to nothing," Hans said, as he kicked Nicholas in the r
The Overpowered Son-in-law Jail break
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Nicholas's hope of being released slowly began to fade away. The other inmates treated him with contempt and disgust, calling him a traitor and a coward for allowing Harry to take his throne. Nicholas suffered greatly in prison, both physically and mentally. Hans, his uncle, beat him every day, insulting and mocking him at every opportunity. Nicholas was made to sweep and clean the floor like a slave, and he was given only the bare minimum of food and water to survive. But through it all, Nicholas held onto the hope that his father would come through for him. He spent his days staring out of the tiny window in his cell, waiting for a sign that someone was coming to rescue him. As the months dragged on, Nicholas grew increasingly anxious. He knew that time was running out. The people of Niklauria were growing more restless every day, and Harry's grip on the country was tightening with each passing moment. But despite
The Overpowered Son-in-law Harry's fears
Harry sat in his throne room, his face twisted with fear and anger. The news of Nicholas' escape from prison had struck him hard.He was trembling with fright, the thought of what might happen if he was on the loose again making him break out in cold sweat. He couldn't afford to lose his kingdom, not after all the work he had put into it.In a fit of rage, Harry stormed towards the chief army commander, demanding to know how Nicholas had managed to escape. He was yelling, his voice booming in the empty throne room. "How could this happen?" he demanded. "How could you let him slip away?"The commander bowed his head, his voice trembling with fear as he tried to explain. "Your majesty, we don't know how it happened. No one saw anything. We're still investigating."Harry's face grew even redder. He knew he was in trouble if Nicholas was free. He paced back and forth, his mind racing with thoughts of what he could do. "The Phoenix family," he said suddenly. "They're a prime suspect
The Overpowered Son-in-law Strategies
Nicholas stepped out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed after his long shower. He wrapped a towel around himself and began to rub it over his body, drying himself off. He had taken a nice long shave and put himself into a good, decent look. He had to make sure he looked his best for the family gathering that awaited him.He made his way back to his room, where food was waiting for him. It was a lavish spread, with all of his favorite dishes. He hadn't had a decent meal in two years since he was in prison all these while. Nicholas eagerly dug in, savoring every bite. The food was delicious, and he couldn't help but feel grateful for his family's generosity.After he was done eating, he put on his clothes and walked out of the room to the living room where his family was waiting for him. There were over twenty of them gathered there. The rest had to return to their respective homes and businesses so as not to raise suspicions from Harry. This island was where William had built
The Overpowered Son-in-law Yumi and Julia

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps interrupted his solitude. He turned to see Yumi and Julia walking towards him.As Yumi and Julia approached him, they went down on one knee and bowed their heads. "Your majesty, you called for us," they said.Nicholas approached them and said, "Stand up."Yumi and Julia stood up, and Nicholas turned to Yumi. "I owe you an apology, Yumi. I was foolish not to listen to you when you were trying to protect me from Harry."Yumi looked up at Nicholas with a soft smile. "Your majesty, you weren't foolish. You were just trying to do what you thought was right."Nicholas nodded, then continued. "I also shouldn't have suspended you. I'm sorry." He began to bow, but Yumi stopped him immediately."Your majesty, there's no need for that. I was only doing what I thought was best for you and our country."Nic

The trap door
Coughing and wheezing amidst the swirling dust and rumbling aftermath of the explosion, Nicholas and Yumi struggled to regain their composure.Nicholas, wiping away the dirt from his face, turned to Yumi. "What in the world just happened? Who could have done this?"Yumi coughed and replied, her voice hoarse. "Could it be... Mrs. Abigail's killer?"Nicholas nodded, his expression determined. "It's a possibility. Someone must have gotten to Hans, overpowered him, and orchestrated this explosion to seal us inside."Realizing the gravity of their situation as the dust gradually cleared, they surveyed their surroundings and discovered that they were indeed trapped within the secret chamber.Nicholas remained composed and calm. "We cannot afford to panic, Yumi. We need to find a way out of here."Yumi's eyes widened in concern. "But how? We're surrounded by collapsed walls. There's no visible exit."Nicholas's voice carried a note of reassurance. "There must be another way, a hidden passage

The shadowy figure emerged further, revealing the person behind the weapon.Hans's shock only deepened as he found himself looking directly into the eyes of Rose. Her gaze was hardened, and she appeared like a fugitive on the run. His lips quivered as he called out her name, barely able to believe what he was seeing. "Rose... you're alive?"With the gun still trained on him, Rose responded with a cold, unwavering voice. "Yes, Hans. I survived, thanks to Nicholas's foolishness. He thought a small dose of poison would slowly end my life."Hans was trembling. "How... how did you manage to survive? After taking that poison, I thought..."Rose gaze hardened as she interrupted him. "I returned to Mrs. Abigail, who concocted a cure for me. From that moment on, I started planning my revenge ag
