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 As long as he's withdrawn his claim, I don't need his apology.”“That's where you're wrong,” Moses laughed.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'
With Richard expelled, Moses hired the Goldstein family to work under Gwen. The Goldstein family crisis brought more spotlight on Moses and the Doberman clan. Everyone was talking about the Doberman clan so much, it generated a buzz in the city. Moses knew it was only a matter of time before he would have enemies and rivals coming after his head. The Doberman Clan were strong in their own right, but their forces were very weak and short-handed. What Moses needed was an alliance. He turned his attention to the Black foot Tribe. They were the strongest and most powerful force in the Twelve cities, but they operate solely as independent assassins. That was how they generated their wealth. Many influential families employ the Black foot Tribe for protection and to handle other dirty work, but Moses had other plans.He would rather not employ them. He wants to buy them. On a hot Sunday afternoon, Moses boarded the train to the Eastern region of the twelve cities. The eastside o
Moses was taken back to the train station, the same way he arrived, with a blindfold on. “You can take the blindfold off now,” a man's voice said. Moses took off the blindfold and was startled to see a young woman standing before him. She wore a black fitted suit that showed off her slender figure. A long katana sword was strapped to her back, and her jet-black silky hair was tied in a short ponytail. “Umm… Who are you?” Moses asked.“My name is Yuri,” she replied. “I am your personal bodyguard. My grandfather assigned me to protect you.”“Elder Guam?” Moses looked surprised. “He's your grandfather?”Yuri nodded. “That's right. I'm his twelfth grandchild.”Moses rubbed his temples. “Honestly, I don't know if it's appropriate to have a female guarding me. I feel uncomfortable about this arrangement. Elder Guam should've discussed this with me first.”Yuri frowned. “Despite how I may look, I am the second strongest in my tribe. Please don't underestimate me, master.”Master? Moses
Moses listened as Elder Guam revealed the plot against him and his clan. He remained silent as he absorbed the news. Moses felt impressed with the loyalty of the Black foot tribe.He realized if he hadn't made that alliance with the Black foot tribe, they would've assassinated his clan. Elder Guam noticed how relaxed Moses looked. “You seem awfully calm about all this.”Moses snapped out of his thoughts. “Well, it's just that I anticipated something like this would happen. I just never expected it to happen so soon.”Elder Guam placed a hand on Moses' shoulder. “The Black foot tribe might make a living through assassination, but we are very loyal to whom we pledge our life to.”Moses felt glad. “I appreciate it, Elder Guam.”Elder Guam turned to the five hotel owners. “What do you want me to do with these evil men? I suggest we cut their heads off.”The five men stiffened in shock at the thought of being decapitated. “You can't do that!” Vector, one of the men shouted. “We are im
The Five hotel owners returned to their homes, each with a missing finger. When their families and friends saw them, they were horrified. However, despite numerous questions from their families, the five hotel owners refused to spill the beans about the Doberman clan and the Black foot tribe. They were aware they were being followed in the shadows by the Black foot tribe. If they spoke one word out of turn, they would be struck dead. Moses had never felt this much powerful since he became chairman of Rockechild's Empire. With an unstoppable force like the Black foot tribe, Moses felt like he could take over the world. * * * *“Have you heard the news buzzing around the twelve cities?” Joe, the shoe polisher, asked. Moses flipped the next page of his newspaper, a cigarette burning by the side of his lips. “No, Joe. What about it?”Joe applied polish on Moses' loafer as he began to gist Moses on the current happenings. “Five hotel owners got each of their fingers cut off the ot
Moses and Andrew had been best friends since they were kids. Never for once, did Andrew ever show this side of himself to Moses. It was the first time Andrew had hit him. “Andrew,” Moses glared at him. “How dare you slap me?”“Shut your stinking mouth up, Moses,” Andrew fired back. “I don't associate with failures like you, so don't try to get familiar with me. I'm way above you.”“I don't understand,” Moses raised his voice. “What do you mean, you're above me?”“Read the room, Moses,” Andrew said. “You think I'll like to be associated with a failure like you? You literally ruined your clan with your reckless investment. You slaved under the MOMO family for a woman who never loved you, and after the MOMO family's downfall, you became an errand boy to the Big Boss.”Moses frowned. He gets where Andrew was headed. “So because I'm at the bottom, you decide I'm not worthy to be treated as a friend.”“I've got hundreds of friends, Moses,” Andrew smirked. “And they're all influential and
