2024-08-02 19:34:29A servant was waiting for Moses with a small luggage. They contained all his clothes.
Because Moses was poor, he didn't have many properties. Just a few clothes and one shoe.
“Thank you,” he collected the luggage from the servant and headed straight for the gates.
He didn't take the scooter. It didn't belong to him, after all.
“Lucas Gates... then let my revenge start with you!” Moses's expression darkened as he took out his phone and dialed Genevieve's number.
Genevieve answered on the first ring. “Good morning, Mr. Moses. How can I assist you today?”
“Genevieve, does Rockechilds Empire have the capacity to ruin Gates Group?” Moses asked, his voice cold.
“Gates Group? Sorry, Mr. Moses, I’ve never heard of that group. I only handle investments over 10 billion dollars; their asset scale might not even be enough...”
Genevieve hurriedly explained, fearing that Moses would be angry.
Moses was taken aback; he didn’t expect that the Gates family, which seemed so wealthy in the eyes of the Momo family, was nothing to his business empire.
“It’s fine, I just want to teach the Gates family a lesson... their heir Lucas has made me very angry.
Moses said calmly. Genevieve, hearing Moses's words, was furious.
“What? That trash actually dared to provoke our chairman? Please wait 10 minutes, I will make sure the Gates family gets the punishment they deserve!”
Moses hung up the phone; he understood the strength of the Rockechilds, but 10 minutes?
However, just 5 minutes later, Genevieve called back.
“Boss! We have already investigated the Gates family's background; they have no real power at all!”
Genevieve said proudly. “Our financial experts made a slight move in the stock market, and the Gates family's stocks started to plummet!”
“They even tried to stop the loss by investing in Rockechilds, but we crushed them like killing an ant!”

“This is the best thing that's ever happened to the MOMO family,” Madame Aurora celebrated as she popped open a champagne.
“Let's celebrate.” she poured wine into Valeria's glass. “With the Gates Group backing us up, we'll be unstoppable.” Lucas laughed as he handed her his glass. “Take it easy, Madame Aurora. The Gate Group won't disappoint you. As we speak, Gate Group invested heavily in Rockechilds' shares. Money is never our problem.” Madame Aurora's eyes widened. “That's the Gate Group for you. I'm blown away by how wealthy your family is.” Valeria smiled, linking her arm in Lucas'. “Lucas was the perfect choice, grandmother. I never understood why you hooked me up with a loser like Moses from the very start,” Valeria pouted. “I couldn't stand him.” “Matching you and Moses was my greatest mistake,” Madame Aurora admitted. “I hadn't foreseen the Doberman's downfall. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have paired you off with Lucas a long time ago.” “Can we stop talking about that piece of garbage?" Lucas yawned. “He's old school. Gate Group is worth over $9 billion. The Doberman clan can never smell that kind of money in a hundred years.” “You'll make a fantastic grandson-in-law,” Madame Aurora grinned, then turned to Valeria. “You have proven to me you're worthy of being my successor, Valeria.” Valeria felt pleased. “Really? Thank you, grandmother. I promise I won't disappoint you.” Just then, Lucas' phone buzzed in his pocket. “Talk of the devil, it's my dad,” Lucas laughed as he brought out his phone. “What a perfect timing. He'd be thrilled to hear you accepted my proposal.” Lucas answered the call. “Hello, dad. You won't believe it. Valeria divorced her shitty husband and accepted my proposal.” “Who the hell cares about that?” Lucas' father yelled. “What have you done to us?” Lucas didn't like the tone of his father's voice. “I don't get it, dad. I haven't done anything.” “You imbecile,” his father shouted. “Rockechilds Empire sold off all the shares we invested in. Our stocks are plummeting like crazy. We're losing millions of dollars every second. So far, we've lost over $600 million in five minutes.”"The Gates family is completely doomed this time!"

Lucas felt the blood drain out of his face. “$600 million in five minutes? That's impossible,” his voice was barely above a whisper.“And that's not all,” his father went on, his voice erupting like a volcano. “Rockechilds Empire just announced publicly that they're withdrawing from our partnership negotiation. Do you have any idea what that means?”Lucas felt heat rising around his collar. “No?”“It means our reputation has been damaged,” his father bawled. “Rockechilds Empire is the number one leading company in the world. Their announcement today has left Gate Group in shambles. I have investors pulling out left and right. It's a daylight nightmare!”“This doesn't make any sense,” Lucas said, his face running with sweats. “Rockechilds wouldn't come after us without a reason.”“You tell me,” Lucas' father snapped. “You crossed the Chairman of Rockechilds Empire, and now we're paying the price for your foolishness.”“What?” Lucas exclaimed in shock. “When did I… I would never… I don'

She doesn't love you, Dave. She's the reason you're down on your knees.”Dave hesitated for a while. His mind was racing with many thoughts.“If I do what you say, you'll forgive me?” Dave asked.Moses nodded. “You have my word.”Dave's hands trembled as he slowly rose to his feet and started approaching Betty.Betty was unsuspicious of his intentions.

Moses was mad. This arrogant, rich bastard had the nerve to slap him. This wasn't the first time Sir Lin and the other VIP patrons have harassed him. However, circumstances have changed. Moses was not the same man he used to be. He would crush Sir Lin with all his might. “I'll make you regret doing that to me,” Moses said, his voice dark. “I will never forgive you. That's a promise.”Sir Lin was surprised at Moses' confidence. “You'll make me regret? And how do you intend to do that?”Moses hide a smile. “You'll see. Before today ends, you'll seek for my forgiveness, but you won't find it.”Before Sir Lin could react, Moses excused himself and walked away. This angered Sir Lin so much, he yelled after Moses. “You filthy rat. How dare you walk out on me? I'll fix you. I'll make sure you're fired.”But Moses didn't give him as much as a glance. “That blasted idiot,” Mrs. Van cursed. “Who does he think he is, walking out on a VIP guest?

We owe eight banks hundreds of millions. They're all threatening to foreclose on our assets if we don't pay up our debts.”“But that's impossible,” Sir Lin snapped. “I have done business with these banks for years. They can't do this to me.”“Unfortunately, Sir Lin, this is just the tip of the iceberg,” his secretary spoke in a shaky voice. “We were given an ultimatum–if we fail to pay up by the end of the week, they'll seize everything.”Sir Lin felt his blood run cold. “I don't believe this. They're bluffing. That's right, they must be bluffing.”“I'm afraid they're not, sir,” his secretary said hurriedly. “I spoke with their representatives a couple of minutes ago.

The Crown of Dominion
Moses private jet took off from North hills."Have you heard about the Crown of Dominion?" Moses asked Benjamin. Benjamin was seated opposite his father. He shook his head. "I don't know anything about it."Moses activated his Halo phone which displayed a holographic description of the crown. "It's an ancient artifact which is believed to have been forged by the gods," Moses explained. "Forged by the gods?" Benjamin looked bored. "Is this one of those folklore stories?"Moses continued as if he didn't hear him. "According to legend, the crown grants its wielder unmatched charisma and the ability to command absolute loyalty from armies. It can also inspire fear or reverence in anyone who beholds it."Benjamin supported his jaw on his hand. "So it's a myth. What's this got to do with my ascension to kinghood?""Plenty," Moses answered. "This crown is the cheat code to our victory. However, we're not the only ones interested in it."Benjamin raised his eyebrow. "Let me take a wild gue
Secret Twin
Benjamin stared at his father as if he just said the stupidest thing ever. “You want me to overthrow my mother?” Benjamin stood to his feet. “Why should I do that?”Moses leaned back in his chair and stared heavenwards. “Well, the House of Neptune is conspiring to dethrone your mom and replace her with a new king.”Moses paused to look Benjamin directly in his eyes. “Your mother was a smart woman. Too smart. Last week, she revealed to me that you had a secret twin brother.”Benjamin stiffened in shock. “M-my twin?”“You're not identical,” Moses noted. “You're both fraternal twins. Actually, after Elizabeth put to birth, she hid your twin brother while she handed you over to me to raise.”Moses explained the agreement he made with Elizabeth years ago after he agreed to raise Benjamin by himself. By the time Moses was done talking, Benjamin was speechless. He dropped back into his seat, but no words came out of his mouth. Moses sighed in exasperation. “I know it's a shocker, son. Sh
The truth
Moses turned to face the gathered crowd of parents, schoolteachers, and Principal Armstrong. He spread his arms wide and addressed them loud and clear. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began. “Let me remind you of the terms of our little bet. If I win, all of you—the parents, the teachers, and even Principal Armstrong—will grovel and apologize to me. Thereafter, I will consider funding the school project.” The hall remained still and silent.Everyone remembered the wager, but not many were prepared to grovel before Moses. Principal Armstrong cleared his throat and stepped forward. “Mr. Doberman, if I may. This isn’t necessary. On behalf of everybody here, I sincerely apologize for any offense caused. There’s no need for anyone to grovel.” Moses’s expression darkened, his glare sharp enough to cut stone. He turned his gaze on Armstrong with pure disgust. “Who made you the speaker for everyone here?” Moses snapped, his voice rising. “If you have nothing meaningful to say, then shut
Setting appointments
Another man, a teacher, stood to his feet. “For the second challenge, if I may. Can we step away from money? Let's see who among the both of you has the most influence.”August turned to him, intrigued. “That's interesting. What's the details of this challenge?”The teacher stepped out, an excited look in his eyes. “The challenge is simple: both parties must secure a meeting with the CEO of Graham Incorporated right here and now. The winner would be the one who Reggie Graham sets an appointment for.”Everyone exchanged glances. This challenge was good. Graham incorporated was the world leading tech company, known for its bestselling Halo Phones.Graham Incorporated had developed a reputation for rejecting partnerships from even the wealthiest tech corporations. Their CEO, Reggie Graham, rarely entertained meetings, let alone signed deals.Whoever could set an appointment with him would be a man with strong connections. Moses smirked. “Fascinating. I like this one. Let's do it.”Sti
The painting
Mr. Leclerc wanted to stop the Marksman but decided against it. “These fools,” he cried inwardly. “They do not know who they're dealing with. If only they knew they wouldn't dare to challenge him.”But there was nothing Leclerc could do. The challenge had been set. If he butts his head in, he would be dealing with Moses Doberman directly. All Leclerc could do was seat and watch. August started. “We'll let the teachers and parents dish out the challenge. Three challenges. Winner would be determined by who successfully does all three challenges without a hitch.”Moses shrugged. “Fine by me. So what's going to be our first challenge?”A tall man with salt-and-pepper hair stepped forward from the crowd. He adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat. “If I may,” he began, his voice filled with pride, “I am a dealer in fine art, and I happen to have a painting in my possession—a masterpiece valued at $10 million.”“It's a rare piece, painted by a reclusive artist whose works are sought
The Marksmans
The room was buzzed with murmurs after Moses declared he would fund the entire project. Many parents exchanged glances as they were curious to know who this new man was. Principal Armstrong cleared his throat and looked directly at Moses. He wore a skeptical expression on his face that told anyone he wasn't buying Moses' words. "Sir," Armstrong began, "May I ask, who are you?" Moses leaned back in his chair, wearing a deadpan expression on his face. "It doesn't matter who I am. It's not relevant, but if it satisfies your curiosity, I’m Moses Doberman, Benjamin Doberman’s father." A ripple of laughter broke out among the teachers who were present at the meeting. One of the teachers, Benjamin's chemistry teacher, chuckled loudly, shaking his head. "Ah, so you're Benjamin's father," the teacher said. "No doubt your son is intelligent, Mr. Doberman, but let’s be realistic here. You’re a C-Ranker, aren’t you? Let’s not make promises you can’t keep. Stay humble." The parents al
The PTA meeting
"I didn’t mean any harm," Lucas continued, his voice cracking. "Please, Benjamin, spare me. Spare my father."Benjamin sighed. "Get me out of this thing first."The room was filled with tension as the goons hurriedly released Benjamin from the ropes. They were also scared of Benjamin after hearing his true identity. "Just so you know," Benjamin said, nursing his wrists after being freed. "I already knew you guys were spying on me."Lucas approached Benjamin, swallowing hard. "How could you know about us spying on you? You... you were always alone."Benjamin’s smirk widened. "You think I wouldn’t notice your pathetic attempts at surveillance? I have my own spies—ones you would never see coming. They’ve been shadowing you this entire time."The colour drained from Bruce’s face. "W-What do you mean?"Benjamin leaned forward slightly, his tone low and cold. "There are assassins in this warehouse as we speak. Deadly, silent, and loyal only to me. They’ve been here since before you arriv
Groveling
Lucas was surprised at Benjamin's honesty. "Interesting," Lucas said, clearing his throat. "And just when I thought you would deny it.""Why should I deny anything?" Benjamin asked. "I'm the reason why the Willows and the Lawrence family are ruined. Got your answer now?"Lucas couldn't believe his eyes. He never expected Benjamin to admit the rumours about him. "This is an unexpected turn of events," Lucas said, sighing. "Alright, guys you can come out now."At his command, Bruce and Grant emerged out of the darkness along with two other S-Rank students. Clara was absent. She didn't want to be part of this anymore. Bruce glared down at Benjamin, cracking his knuckles. "So you finally, admit it. Big mistake. I'm going to pulverise you until no one recognises you."Benjamin rolled his eyes. "You seem to forget that I never cause any harm to anyone who doesn't cause harm to me. You and your girlfriend hit me. So I retaliated.""You destroyed the Willows family," Grant barked. "How cr
Abducted
Jamie started speaking feverishly, explaining every single details of the chaos happening in his family. "They're destroying my father inorder to pacify the United Kingdom of Niklauria. If they don't ruin my father, there would be a war outbreak," Jamie shouted. "It's over for us, Clara. We've lost everything."Clara was speechless. It hasn't been up to five hours since she saw Jamie and now his family were experiencing an unexpected downfall. The most powerful man in North Hills, only second to the president was being reduced like a dog in less than five hours? A chill ran down Clara's spine as she tried to put two and two together. Was Benjamin Doberman responsible for this? Till now, it was nothing but a conspiracy theory that Benjamin ruined Noah Willows but is there a possibility he ruined the second most powerful man in North Hills?It doesn't seem possible but Clara wasn't taking her chances. She was afraid of Benjamin. Whatever that had happened today, Benjamin had gotte
