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.

    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

    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 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

    Moses spent three extra months in the United Kingdom of Niklauria. In those months, he got Elizabeth pregnant, strengthen the military and expanded the kingdom's economy. While Elizabeth served as the ruler of the United Kingdom of Niklauria, Moses pulled all the strings behind the curtains. He held more power than the queen, but Elizabeth didn't mind. She was pregnant with Moses' child. As long, as she bears an heir to the throne, she would keep her position as Queen. Besides, Moses wasn't interested in the throne. He just wanted control over the military and the king's gold vault. In those three months, Moses' personal net worth soured to over $500 Trillion. There was no stopping him. * * * * One morning, Moses received a disturbing email from his father. The twelve cities were at war with their aggressive northern neighbour, Barbary. The twelve cities and Barbary have been fighting for territory for years. But now, Barbary had enlarged its military and was making bold

  • 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

    "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

  • First encounter

    “Watch where you’re going!” the boy rasped angrily, brushing imaginary dust off his shoulder. “Peasant. Are you blind?”Moses frowned as he scanned the boy, taking in the fine embroidery of his suit and the two guards from the House of Neptune. There was no doubt about it. This boy right here was Moses' second son. Benjamin, taken aback, raised his hands apologetically. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to—” But before he could finish, Moses stepped forward, his tone firm. “No, Benjamin. There’s no need to apologize. It was an accident.” This was Moses' first encounter with his second son and he already hated the boy's attitude. The boy raised an eyebrow, a smirk curling on his lips. “Do you know who I am?” His voice was laced with arrogance. “I am Prince Curtis, the rightful heir to the throne of the United Kingdom Of Niklauria. You'll speak to me with respect.” Before Benjamin could respond, one of Curtis’s guards stiffened visibly, his eyes locking on Moses. He leaned toward Curtis an

  • 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
