When Moses returned to Preston Express, his boss was waiting for him at the entrance.

There was a scowl on the manager's face that Moses didn't like.

“What the hell did you do, Moses, huh?” He demanded angrily.

Moses stood in front of him, his face expressionless. “Nothing, I only offered a suggestion which Greene took offense at.”

“You bloody fool,” the manager scolded. “You're not supposed to say anything. I understand you're new in this city, but you should've known better.”

Moses narrowed his eyes. “I apologize for causing you any trouble, sir.”

The manager clenched his fists. “The Graham family is a very influential family in this city. They literally run the city. Everyone is careful not to offend them in the slightest and yet, you….”

He couldn't complete his words because he was speaking so fast and breathlessly.

Moses sighed. “I apologize for causing you any trouble to you. If it makes you feel any better, I'll resign.”

The manager frowned. “I didn't want to terminate your

He was fed through a tube and was always wired to a life machine. But despite everything, Marcus Graham's fate was sealed. He only has a few weeks left to live. Reggie Graham sat next to his father, alone. He had been the only one visiting his father every single day. Marcus Graham wrote no will on how his wealth would be shared after he died. He refused to make a will because he wanted his family to work together to keep the company alive and booming. It was a family business, and it would be treated as such. Sadly, Reggie was the only one who was treated badly by his fellow sisters and brothers, especially Greene. Marcus had always been fond of Reggie that was why Reggie never left his side since his sickness struck. "Mr Reggie," A nurse entered the room. "You have a visitor?"Reggie was surprised. The l

    "You bastard, this is a Fake," Dr. Mark barked. "Do you want to kill Marcus Graham?"Reggie turned to Moses. "What's the meaning of this? You brought a fake to me?"Moses turned to Dr. Mark. "What makes you think it's a fake? Have you ever seen one up close before?""Yes I have," Dr. Mark said sharply. "Twice. I've seen fatally sick people regain their health after taking the vials. This is obviously a fake. I can tell."Moses smirked. "So you admit that you know so much about the heavens tears, huh?""Why won't I?" Dr. Mark scoffed. "Don't underestimate me."Moses shrugged. "I'm surprised. If you know so much about the heavens tears, then why didn't you tell Reggie about it before?"Dr. Mark caught his tongue. He realized that he had said too much. His silence made Reggie suspicious. Reggie grabbed Dr. Marks shoulder. "Dr. Mark, what are you not telling me?"Dr. Mark stuttered. "Don't listen to a word he said. He's just trying to complicate things.""Never mind that," Reggie snapped

    "Father, you're alive?" Greene asked, his jaw dropping. He looked as if he had just seen a ghost. "When did you—""I got discharged this evening," Marcus Graham replied as he walked to the dining table and sat on it. "Dr. Mark said I was free to go home.""But I don't understand," Boris said. "Dr. Mark mentioned you only have a few weeks left to live.""He wasn't wrong, but I made a miraculous recovery and here I am," Marcus retorted. The Graham family exchanged glances at each other, realising what Marcus return meant. Their reign of control over Graham incorporated has shifted. Marcus leaned back in his chair, his gaze sweeping across the table. Finally, he spoke, breaking the silence in the room. "Greene," Marcus locked eyes with his eldest son. "You're my firstborn. You were supposed to set an example. Yet, you sat at the head of this table and mocked the man who gave you everything."Greene’s face turned pale, but he managed to keep his face expressionless.

    Greene knew all about Rockechilds Empire. As a matter of fact, he had always looked up to Rockechilds Empire, hoping to grow Graham incorporated into a Mega trillion empire someday. “I refuse to believe a mere delivery guy like you can form a partnership with Rockechilds Empire,” Greene said, amusing. “Is this your idea of a joke?”Moses dug his hand in his pockets. “It might surprise you I was once a senior executive at Rockechilds Empire. But then I got bored and retired.”This brought laughter from Greene. “Senior executive my foot. Just who do you think you're fooling here?”Moses continued with his lies. “I'm not fooling anyone. I came to Preston City to experience a humble life. That's why I started out as a delivery guy.”Greene couldn't control his laughter. He turned to Reggie. “Are you being serious, Reggie? You actually believed this clown's story?”Reggie clenched his hands. “I do. We were just about to discuss it before you barged in and slapped him.”Greene became seri

    Moses approached Greene. "That's not all. You have to grovel before me and apologize for slapping me.""As if," Greene barked. "Isn't it enough that I resigned? What more could you possibly want?""I would have slapped you if I wanted to, but I'm being reasonable here because the Graham family are a respectful group. It's best you grovel," Moses said, his voice grave. "Or else you'll regret it."Greene scoffed. "I won't grovel to the likes of you. I've resigned. There's nothing you can do to me."Moses turned to Reggie. "Greene refused to grovel. Let's carry on with our meeting."Greene thought it felt odd for Moses to give up that easily. It was as if, Moses has other ideas in mind. Reggie placed his hand on Greene's shoulder. "It's best you do what he says, Greene. It's for your own good.""Screw you," Greene cursed, grabbing a fistful of Reggie's shirt. "Because of you, Graham incorporated would fall. I'm going to watch it happen and then I'll laugh in you and father's face with g

    Reggie returned home to meet his family, waiting for him in the living room. The atmosphere was tensed with Greene pacing up and down as if he had lost his mind. When Reggie entered, all eyes settled on him. “Reggie, you bastard,” Boris scowled, rising to his feet. “What have you done?”“I was about to explain myself,” Reggie answered, dropping his briefcase. “But I feel thirsty. I want a drink.”“Screw your drink,” Greene rushed at him and jerked Reggie by the front of his shirt. “You sold Graham incorporated to Rockechilds Empire without our knowledge. How could you?”“Relax,” Reggie said calmly. “I took that decision because I'm the CEO of the company and you're not. Rockechilds Empire bought all our stocks, but they're giving us liberty to run the company.”“You mean we still have control over Graham incorporated?” Cecilia asked. “Not necessarily. We get to keep 20% of the profits while Rockechilds Empire funds all our projects,” Reggie explained. “How the hell did you do it?

  • The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire    The Underdog

    Despite Greene's outburst, he did nothing to Moses. He didn't arrest him nor sued him to court for two reasons: he had no proof Moses was behind his predicament and secondly, he was scared of taking the fight to Rockechilds Empire. There was a slim chance he would win if Rockechilds Empire get involved in the fight and defended Moses. Greene had so much to lose which was why he decided to let the sleeping dog lie. Meanwhile, Moses continued to work as an underdog in Graham Incorporated. No one, not even Reggie's himself had the slightest idea that Moses was the true owner of the company.

    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.

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.

    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

    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

    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
