The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire Genevieve
At exactly 12pm, a convoy of five sleek black sedans rolled into the courtyard of the house of Neptune. The cars came to a halt in perfect unison, their doors opening simultaneously.Five people stepped out of the cars looking dressed in sharp suits and expensive wristwatches. These people were members of the executive board members of Rockechilds Empire. Leading them was the Deputy director, a tall, stern-looking man with slicked-back gray hair. The palace guards led the executives inside the enormous building. They were brought before Czar who sat in the Dragon Throne surrounded by the nobles and his servants. As soon as they faced Czar, a lean man with a bald head and hitting the wrong side of sixty stepped forward. "Your majesty," He announced waving to the five individuals. "These are the executives of Rockechilds Empire. I have brought them to you, just as you demanded."Czar nodded. "Thank you, prime minister Gordon. You have done well."Gordon bowed then stepped aside.
The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire The executive board members
Moses found the Executive board members to be very unbearable by the minute he spent with them.They treated him not just as a servant, but as if he were beneath even the lowest of servants. Each of them seemed intent on making his tasks more difficult than necessary. They barked orders at him like a pack of hounds, demanding he carry their heavy bags, fetch their drinks, and fix their bath. One of the male executives, a short, stocky man with a constant sneer on his face, ordered Moses to fetch fresh towels, but when Moses returned with the wrong colour, the man slapped him, "Are you blind? I said white towels, not cream! Does that look like white to you?"Moses swallowed his anger, his jaw tightening as he bowed apologetically. "My apologies," Moses said. "I'll get it right next time."Moses never forget a face. He kept the image of this executive member at the back of his mind. "If only you knew," Moses thought to himself. "If only you knew I’m your boss you wouldn't have hit

Sound of cutleries on plates echoed around the grand dinning hall as the executives of Rockechilds Empire ate together with Czar and Prime Minister Gordon. None of the nobles were present at dinner except for servants and guards.This was an exclusive dinner between the king and Rockechilds Empire. Vector Bush sipped his glass of wine, sighing contently. “Your Majesty, I guarantee you that Rockechilds Empire will bring immense revenue to the economy of Niklauria. Your country would experience growth after our partnership."Moses silently came over and refilled Vector's wine, then stepped back and waited. Across from him, Elizabeth moved between tables, changing plates and serving meals. Czar nodded slowly. “I'm convinced this partnership would benefit my nation.”Czar paused as he leaned forward and stared directly at Vector. “However, I'm more concerned about your chairman. I am keen to know more about his role in this deal.”Vector laughed uneasily. “Your Majesty, I can assure y
The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire Czar's impending doom
Vector Bush felt like his soul had left his body as he slowly turned to face Moses. The smile on Moses' face made Vector sick with terror. “Is this some kind of joke?” He demanded. Moses hung up the call. “Maybe to you. Is that how you address your chairman?”Vector turned to Genevieve, hoping to see a flicker of humour in her expression. To his horror, Genevieve was as serious as ever and a little wary of Moses. “That explains everything, huh,” Vector swallowed, realization dawning in his eyes. “The chairman was here all along, wasn't he?”Genevieve didn't answer. She looked away instead. Vector wanted the ground to open and swallow him. He remembered how he slapped Moses and overworked him like a slave earlier that day. The other board members were as white as ghosts. Neither one of them thought the chairman was in their midst all this while. Vector cleared his throat then chuckled. “Chairman, what a surprise. I wasn't expecting to find you here.”Moses' smile slipped. He

The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire Count Luther
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into a month.Rockechilds Empire partnership with the United Kingdom of Niklauria became the most powerful collaboration in history. Within a month and three weeks, Rockechild empire's net worth grew from $140 trillion to an astonishing $580 trillion. As chairman of Rockechilds Empire with the highest shares, Moses' stake peaked far beyond expectations. His personal net worth was over $475 trillion. He was by far the wealthiest man alive. During this period, Moses quietly and slowly eroded Czar's power in the shadows. Through control of the king's vault, Moses had complete oversight of the military's funding—its salaries, supply chains, and provisions. Any general, officer, or soldier would have to answer to Rockechilds Empire for payment. Moses' endgame was still clear: to restore Elizabeth to the throne. On the other hand, Czar was too pleased with the trillions of dollars revenue pouring in to notice something was amiss. He threw
The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire The Poisoned goblet
Moses pulled at his cigarette as he trimmed the tall hedges in the royal garden. The hedges gave Moses enough privacy to discuss with Yuri. Yuri, on one knee, narrated all she heard between Count Luther and Czar. Moses listened attentively in silence, his cigarette burning evenly on his lips. All this time, Yuri stayed in the house of Neptune like a ghost. She hides in the shadows, spying on everyone and keeping information flowing to Moses. She was the wall with ears around the palace. Moses dropped his cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his feet. “So they intend to poison Elizabeth and me, huh?” Moses said thoughtfully. “I anticipated this would happen, eventually. We need more time to gather enough supporters. We're this close.”Yuri glanced up at Moses. “Should I kill Count Luther? I would make it clean and faster.”Moses shook his head sharply. “No, Yuri. No bloodshed. We are going to win this without spilling a drop of blood.”Yuri smiled. “Then why don't you tu
The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire Crown Queen
The crowd gasped in shock at Elizabeth's declaration. Czar and Luther recoiled back as if they were both struck by lightning. “It can't be,” Luther muttered under his breath. “You set us up?”Elizabeth faced the crowd, holding everyone's attention. “Tonight, I uncovered a plot to kill me and have my husband framed for it.”This caused the crowd to get angry, and they demanded to know who wanted to kill the Sun Princess. Elizabeth pointed at Czar and Luther. “These two orchestrated the whole thing. The king's cup bearer is pretending to be sick, so that I can take up his role.”It all made perfect sense to everyone, as the cup bearer was absent. Elizabeth's story carried enough weight to bury Czar. Czar glanced around frantically. He met a hundred eyes filled with resentment and disappointment.Elizabeth turned to Czar. “You exiled me four years ago because you were paranoid about losing the throne to me, even when I had no interest in it.”Elizabeth paused as her voice grew theatr

Epilogue
A year later, Claude Laurent stood in court, drenched in sweat. His hands trembled as he gripped the table in front of him, his face pale like a ghost. He now looked like a broken man. The courtroom was packed with reporters and spectators.At the front of the room, Moses sat with a cigarette between his fingers, watching Claude quietly. Before Claude lay a stack of legal documents, waiting for his signature. He was about to hand over his prized hotel to Moses without collecting a single dime.The Imperial Twin Hotel had crushed all competition in its first year, raking in over $60 billion in revenue. It had become a global sensation which attracted the wealthiest patrons, celebrities, and business moguls from all over the world. On the other hand, Diamond Fountain suffered. Its bookings plummeted overnight. Within that same year, they signed for bankruptcy. According to the legal agreement between Moses and Claude, Diamond Fountain Hotel now belonged to Moses. For free!W
The Endgame
Word spread like wildfire across Ice City. The Imperial Hotel was undergoing a massive transformation. The houses surrounding the Imperial Hotel had been purchased and demolished, making way for a sprawling new foundation. Cranes could be seen towering over the site, and workers bustling about, laying the groundwork.Moses called for a press conference, inviting journalists from every major news outlet in the city. The event was held in a temporary conference hall near the construction site, and the room was packed with reporters, photographers, and curious onlookers.Moses stepped onto the stage, dressed in a sharp black suit. He stood at the podium and addressed the crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today. I’m Floyd Westchester, and I’m here to announce the future of the Imperial Hotel.”He paused, allowing the murmurs of surprise to ripple through the crowd. No one recognized his name, but this was what Moses wanted. Until this project is completed, Mos
Claude's Challenge
Moses was taken aback by Claude’s sudden outburst. The man’s cheerful expression had vanished, replaced by a storm of anger and resentment. Moses raised his hands slightly, trying to defuse the tension. “Whoa, hold on. Why do you say ‘over my dead body’? What’s your issue with the Imperial Hotel?”Claude’s face twisted with bitterness as he leaned forward, his hands gripping the edge of his desk. “Madame Aurora,” he spat the name like it was poison. “She made my life a living hell. I was once an employee at the Imperial Hotel, loyal and dedicated. But no matter how hard I worked, it was never enough for her.” “She belittled me, humiliated me, and treated me like dirt. I vowed to destroy her and everything she stood for. And I did. I built Diamond Fountain Hotel to surpass hers, to crush her legacy. I won’t let her name or her hotel rise again—not as long as I’m alive.”Moses sat in stunned silence, processing Claude’s words. It seemed Madame Aurora’s cruelty had come full circle.
Diamond Fountain Hotel
Ice City was a prosperous city. However, the living expenses for the average man was bloody expensive. Moses had made arrangements for a dinner meeting with the number one hotel in Ice City. Diamond Fountain Hotel.This was the hotel that overthrow the Imperial hotel.Moses was impressed by the luxury when he stepped inside the hotel. Yet, the Infinite Castle hotel was dead ass a hundred times luxurious than this hotel.Diamond Fountain Hotel allows a free tour of the hotel to tourist.Before his meeting, Moses took his precious time to survey the hotel from the beginning to the end. The guide outlay the history of the hotel and how it's been reigning at the top for years. The more the guide spoke, the more disappointed Moses was at Madame Aurora. He was disappointed she gave up and allowed this hotel to beat hers.Diamond Fountain hotel was good, no doubt, but it was nowhere close to the glory days of the Imperial hotel. One of the major issues Moses took note during his tour
Second chance
The funeral for Madame Aurora was a small, quiet, affair, held in the grand hall of the Imperial Hotel. Only members of the Momo family were present during the funeral. Apart from them, there were scarcely anyone else aside Moses who had come to pay his last respect.Moses and Yuri stood at the back, observing quietly.Madame Aurora had once been a formidable figure in her earlier years. Her death marked the end of an era as the most powerful matriarch across the twelve cities. After the funeral, Valeria approached Moses and Yuri. “Moses, my grandmother left something for you. It’s in the study. Would you come with me?” she asked softly. Moses exchanged a glance with Yuri before nodding. They followed Valeria to a private study on the upper floor of the hotel. The room was dimly lit, lined with towering shelves of old books. A grand mahogany desk stood at its center.Seated behind the desk was Glenn. "It's been ages, Moses," Glenn said, smiling stiffly. "I'm glad you could m
Valeria
Moses felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulder after resolving the royal family conflict. A month after, Benjamin was crowned king at the ripe age of sixteen. Moses settled down in the United Kingdom Of Niklauria and live together with his new family. A week after Benjamin’s coronation, Moses was enjoying his quiet time, surfing on the royal palace's private beach. As he was prepared to ride another round of waves, Yuri approached him.“There’s someone here to see you.”Moses looked up, his brow furrowing. “Who is it? I'm about to ride another wave.”Yuri stepped aside and gestured for the visitor to come forward. A woman stepped forward, her head bowed, and her hands clasped tightly in front of her. Moses’s eyes widened in shock as he instantly recognized her.“Valeria?” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. It was his ex-wife, Valeria, from the Momo family. Moses hadn’t seen her in seventeen years—not since the Momo family disappeared from the twelve
Forgiveness
A soft chuckle escaped Elizabeth’s lips. She leaned back on her throne and regarded Benjamin closely.“Very well,” she said. “I will step down.”Curtis’s head snapped toward her, his jaws dropping. “What!” he exclaimed in shock.Elizabeth sighed, rising gracefully from her throne. “This was my decision from the very beginning, Curtis.” She continued. “When you spiraled out of my control, I sought for Moses’s help. I knew Benjamin would return. I chose him.”Curtis’s face twisted into a mask of fury. “You—You planned this all along?” His voice grew louder. “And you expect me to just step aside for some stranger to take the throne?”“He's your brother,” Elizabeth corrected, her tone sharp. “Your mind has been corrupted by the house of Neptune. You're in no position to become king.”“I don’t care!” Curtis bellowed. “I refuse to accept this! You may have chosen Benjamin, but I have half the kingdom’s military backing me! If you think I’m going to sit back and let some outsider take wh
family reunion
"I knew it," Moses whispered under his breath. "You're cut out to be a King." Curtis’s eyes threatened to fall from their sockets as he gaped at Benjamin. His mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. “Who the hell are you?” Curtis demanded, pointing his fingers at Benjamin in rage. Moses stepped forward, placing a steady hand on Benjamin's back. His voice carried over the stunned crowd, loud and clear. “This is my son, Benjamin, and the rightful heir to the throne of the United Kingdom of Niklauria.” Silence descended in the hallway. Curtis’s face instantly turned crimson as his shock gave way to anger. “What the hell are you talking about?” Curtis roared, pointing an accusing finger at Moses. “I am the rightful heir to the throne! This—this is absurd!” Moses exchanged glances with Benjamin. Then, Benjamin then turned to face Curtis. “We’re twin brothers, Curtis. Fraternal twins,” Benjamin said. Curtis’s eyebrows deepened into a frown. “That’s a lie! I am
Chosen
The next day, Curtis entered the grand hall of the Grand Sovereign Museum, where the legendary Crown of Domination was displayed. A red velvet carpet led directly to the centerpiece of the room: a glass pedestal casing that held the crown. Curtis strode confidently toward the display, his noble companion following closely behind. Several other museum visitors stopped to gawk as Curtis’s guards cleared the path for him. The museum curator, a graybeard man in a tailored suit, stepped forward and gave a polite bow.“Your Highness,” the curator began, gesturing toward the crown, “I've been expecting you. I learned you're here for the crown of domination. Would you like me to give you a brief record of the—”Curtis raised a hand, cutting the man off impatiently. “I don’t need the history lesson. I already know its legacy. Just tell me the terms.”The curator cleared his throat. “As you wish, Your Highness. For a fee of $10 million, you are permitted one attempt to wear the crown. But b
