“I hired John Smith to scam the MOMO family.”

A grave silence fell in the room as Moses finished dropping the bombshell.

Madame Aurora was shaking like a cornered rabbit, her eyes growing wider a trifle.

“You mean to tell me you're the one behind everything?” Madame Aurora asked, her voice sounding like metal. “You set me up with John Smith?!”

“That's correct,” Moses said, his eyes fixed on her. “The reason the MOMO family is presently going through hell is because of me.”

Glenn and Valeria were stricken with shock at this revelation.

“You monster!” Glenn yelled, raising his fists. “How could you do this to us?”

Moses glared at him. “Watch it, Glenn. If you hit me, I promise to make you regret it.”

Glenn controlled himself with an effort. He had a murderous glint in his eyes.

However, he was more afraid of what Moses would do to him if he struck him, so he conducted his boiling rage.

“Why?” Madame Aurora asked, her voice barely above a whisper. “Why would you do that to me?”

    Moses dropped the barbells to the ground as he stood up to wipe the sweat off his back. He had just finished his rep for the day, ending his gym activity. Albert waited for him with a bottle of chilled water. “Your water, young master. I have also prepared your favourite steam sauna.”“Thank you, Albert,” Moses said, collecting the bottle and pouring the water down his throat.“Your ride is ready,” Albert stated. “I've reserved a seat for you at the Twelve Leaf conference.”“I'll be on my way now,” Moses replied. “But first, I must take that sauna.”Albert nodded his approval as he stared at the muscles on Moses' body. “How impressive, young master. You've developed a fine physique in such a short time.”“Why, thank you, Albert,” Moses grinned at him, then ran up the stairs for his steam bath.Moses hadn't been wasting time while carrying out his revenge on the MOMO family. He had spent months lifting weights at the Dobermans clan's underground gym, and mastering karate and judo.

    “How dare you speak to me like that?!” Barnes hissed, puffing with anger.The paparazzi flashed their cameras at the scene, capturing both Barnes and Moses. Moses' dog growled its fangs threateningly at Barnes, but Moses cautioned it with a warning. “Stay!”Barnes was afraid of the Doberman pinscher, but he tried to act tough. “Better warn your mutt not to bite me, or I'll make you suffer for it.”Moses glared at Barnes. “I don't appreciate being slapped, Barnes. That was totally uncalled-for.”“And so what?” Barnes challenged. “You can't do anything to me.”“I'll give you a warning,” Moses said, his voice hard. “Kneel and apologize to me.”“Such audacity,” Mrs. Harlow came up behind him. “If there's anyone here who needs to kneel and apologize, it's you, Moses.”“That's right,” Barnes grinned. “Bow and apologize for being a miserable piece of garbage.”Moses took out his phone and dialed Genevieve's number. She answered on the first ring. “Good evening, chairman. What can I help yo

    “Moses, you did this to me!”“That's what you get for provoking me,” Moses replied darkly. “All your current projects across the twelve cities will be suspended and your properties seized. How do you like that?”Barnes gritted his teeth. “You fiend. How did you do it?”Moses smirked. “I told you, my clan is one of the pillars of the twelve cities. I still have a ton of influence around here.”“Bullshit,” Barnes barked at him. “I'll fight this. I have the best lawyers. I won't lose to you.”“You can't win,” Cleveland said sharply on the other line. “I control the lands and estates across the Twelve cities. You'll only be wasting your money on lawsuits. Give it up.”Barnes was shocked Cleveland was still on the line. Before he could open his mouth to respond to him, the phone went dead. Barnes felt as though the earth had opened to swallow him. “No way, this can't be happening to me.”To everyone's shock, Barnes sank to his knees and pulled at his hair in frustration. The paparazzi

    “Are you sure you want to meet my family?” Gwen asked as she drove through the gates of the Goldstein residence. “Wouldn't it be alright if I call your office?”Moses shook his head. “I insist. I would like to meet your family before we proceed with the contract.”Gwen pulled up before a fifteen-bedroom duplex with a spacious garden, and its own golf course. Moses was pleased with the building. “Does all your family live together in that building?”Gwen nodded. “My late grandfather insists we all reside together as a family under one roof.”“Who's the family's patriarch now?” Moses asked as they walked together towards the door. “My uncle,” Gwen replied. “He's a difficult person. Pay him no attention.”As they arrived at the front door, it swung opened, revealing an angry man. In the blink of an eye, the man reached out and slapped Gwen on the face. “You slut!” The man yelled. “You're bringing a man to the house now? How further do you wish to disgrace me, Gwen?”Moses stiffened i

    “Gwen's not taking that contract from you, Moses,” Richard barked, his face a deeper shade redder than before. “I'm warning you, Moses, stay away from my wife.”“The contract is already hers,” Moses said, his gaze set. “It's her choice to accept or reject it.”“She won't accept your contract because the Goldstein family is strongly opposed to it,” Uncle Harold chimed in. “You're done here, Moses. Get out.”Moses didn't argue. He turned to Gwen. “Gwen, this is your decision to make, not theirs. Take the contract and forge your path.”Uncle Harold slammed his fists on the table.“Gwen, if you dare accept that contract, you'll be disowned from the Goldstein family. I would strip all the connections and privileged under Goldstein constructions from your firm.”Gwen stiffened. Without her family's connection, her firm wouldn't survive long. Richard jumped in, his voice threatening. “And if you choose Moses over me, I'll divorce you. Don't think you can survive on your own without me, Gwen

    The demolition of Star beach kicked off the next day with Gwen heading the operation. No one had expected it to happen. They were all shocked to find Star beach being demolished. After the demolition, which took a whole week, the foundation to the new hotel was dug up and building commenced. Moses ensured that the construction of his new hotel was on everybody's lips. He paid popular media personalities to promote his hotel, The Infinite Castle. The promotion was a massive success as everybody kept talking about The Infinite Castle. This made other construction contractors gnash their teeth in regret as they wished they had taken up the contract Moses offered at the conference. With Gwen as the head of constructions, she attracted hundreds of envious enemies even from the Goldstein family. “That damn Gwen,” Uncle Harold growled, pacing around the sitting room with an ugly scowl on his face. “I can't believe she's managing the infinite castle project.”“Tell me about it,” Andr

    Moses attended the divorce proceedings two later. Gwen was seated opposite Richard as she was handed the divorce documents. Her lawyer sat down beside her, whispering something in her ears. Moses studied the room. The Goldstein family had Uncle Harold representing them to oversee the divorce settlements. From the looks of it, Moses could tell Richard and the Goldstein family had orchestrated the divorce inorder to ruin Gwen. As Gwen flipped through the pages of the divorce documents, her eyes flared up with shock. "What the hell is this?" She demanded, pointing at the document. "You want me to hand over my firm to you as part of the alimony settlement?""I knew it," Moses thought to himself. "My suspicion was spot on. These bastards could only be after Gwen's firm."Richard smirked. "Why are you surprised? As my wife, you owe me half of everything you own. I don't own anything so I must have a nice settlement."Gwen stood up, her eyes flaring with fury. "You greedy piece of garb

    “Now, grovel before Gwen's feet and apologize to her!” Moses commanded. Richard and Uncle Harold were taken aback by Moses audacity. “I won't apologize,” Richard maintained, his voice laced with anger. “I've retracted my claim like you demanded. I won't apologize to anybody!”Gwen turned to Moses. “Moses, that's enough. As long as he's withdrawn his claim, I don't need his apology.”“That's where you're wrong,” Moses laughed. “This bastard owes you an apology for abusing you.”“You're so full of yourself, aren't you?” Uncle Harold barked at Moses. “If I don't know any better, I'd say you're smitten with Gwen. Do you want to marry her?”Gwen's face flushed a beet red. Moses smirked at Uncle Harold. “Who knows, I might consider it. That's why you must fall on your knees and plead for her forgiveness, both of you!”Uncle Harold and Richard glared murderously at Moses. “We'll do no such thing.”Moses didn't mince his words. “This is your final warning. Beg for Gwen's mercy. If you don'

  • 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

    "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

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
