The silence in the room shattered as a wave of disbelief rippled through the gathered audience. Holman’s eyes widened and his jaws dropped. The chefs behind the doors of the kitchen all exchanged glances, their faces morphing to sheer shock. “What… what just happened?” Donovan whispered, unable to comprehend this unexpected turn of event. Margot blinked in disbelief, her poised demeanor cracking like an egg. Sandra’s face lit up with joy, her hands trembling as she held her breath, waiting for the Big Boss's response. He set down his fork.There was a glimmer of approval sparking in his eyes. “Now that,” he intoned, his deep voice softening, “is how you capture the essence of fine dining.” A stunned silence enveloped the room before the tension broke, and the chefs erupted into cheers. "She did it!" They shouted. "I can't believe she did it."Holman felt a rush of relief flood through him as he staggered back, clutching his banging heart. The Saint House had been saved, all
"You didn't want to tell her you're the Big Boss?" Yuri asked as Moses boarded a private jet that was set to leave GreenFalls city. "No, I would rather she don't know it was me," Moses said settling down on one of the plush seats. "When next we meet, I would like to see the surprise on her face."Yuri sat down opposite him. "How did you know she was an exceptional cook?"Moses shrugged. "To be honest, I had no idea she was that good. When she gave me a ride in that her truck, she told me a lot of things, like how she would like the world to have a taste of her cooking."Moses paused as a warm smile lit up his face. "When I hosted that contest, I planned to reject all those other chefs food just so I can score her the winner. I wasn't expecting much from her but I was shocked at how amazingly godly her meal Was."Yuri's face softened with relief. "I'm so glad you are safe, master. When I heard about your plane crash, I nearly killed myself."Moses stiffened in shock. "What do you mea
As dawn broke over Barbary, Lord Barnabas wasted no time fortifying his nation. He deployed elite units to guard every border, armed with state-of-the-art surveillance systems and fortified checkpoints. The defenses were bolstered with anti-aircraft weaponry and armored vehicles stationed strategically to cover every possible entry route. Barnabas was determined to handle Moses; he believed sheer force and vigilance would counter whatever Moses planned next. He paced in his headquarters, issuing orders with high confidence. "He’ll see I’m not so easily intimidated," Barnabas muttered, glancing at the monitors displaying live feeds of the fortified borders. But his confidence was short-lived. Barely an hour later, his chief financial officer rushed in, face pale and trembling. "My lord... we have a situation at the Central Bank," he stammered. Barnabas turned, irritation flickering in his eyes. "What now?" "Sir, it's... it's been hacked. The entire Central Bank system. W
Barnabas’s face turned paled as he looked over his brutalized generals. This wasn’t a random act of violence; it was a calculated humiliation, a warning message sent to him alone.As his guards pulled the raft ashore and untied the beaten men, Barnabas clenched his fists. The sight of his leaders—men he had counted on to inspire fear and loyalty—brought a cold dread seeping into his heart. They had been turned into symbols of helplessness and shame.In silence, he watched his men struggle to stand, their strength barely holding them upright. That was when Barnabas realized with growing unease that this was an assault on his power and his image. The Black Foot Clan had made his own generals into a message—one that would spread through the ranks like wildfire.Barnabas felt a bitter chill wrap around him. His iron grip on his army had started to crack. If his generals could be degraded and left for dead so easily, it wouldn’t be long before his soldiers questioned his authority.
After Lord barnabas downfall, Moses relaxed. No one, aside Westminster and the Twelve cities military knew Moses was responsible for Lord Barnabas public humiliation. Moses show of strength and power caused the government House to be afraid of him. How this man whom was a penniless loser grew to became the most powerful man in the Twelve cities remained a mystery. Moses achievement was a wonder. He was mayor of three Cities, his family owned the fastest growing bank business in the country and he was also agent to the Big Boss. Still, in the eyes of the ordinary man, the Doberman clan were still nowhere close to the Top elite families of the twelve cities. The Elite families of the twelve cities used to be the Doberman Clan, the Jetsons, the White Family and the Hunter family. However, since the downfall of the Doberman's clan four years ago, the current elite families were the White Family, The Jetsons and the Hunter family. Because the Doberman clan refuse to take credit for

The White family's annual all White party was the biggest event in the Twelve cities. Super stars, celebrities, movies stars, famous musicians and high ranking political figures all grace the White family's all White party. To be invited to the White family's party was the highest recognition of honour and respect. Moses arrived at the entrance of the White House, a magnificent Victorian era architecture mansion all painted white. He was accompanied by Lauren Cobbs and Yuri. The grand hall was filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses as guests swirled in and out of conversation.Everyone was all dressed in crisp, luxurious white clothes. Declan White, the patriarch of the White family, spotted Moses and immediately raised his voice for all to hear. “Moses Doberman, how nice of you to come!” He grinned, his full white beard covering almost half of his face . “I didn’t think you’d be brave enough to show up, considering… well, recent history.” A murmur of amusement rippl
Declan white was startled. "Wait, let's backtrack a little. You are wagering your family's bank on the line over a stupid game?"Moses smile remained fixed on his face. "It's not a stupid game. It's a test of our capacity as the top elite families of the Twelve cities."He continued after a short pause. "The umbrella international bank is estimated at $200 million in the last couple of month and still growing. The bank is all yours if I fail to make you all grovel. Isn't that a juicy wager?"The three families exchanges looks. They were intrigued by Moses confidence and audacity. "Indeed the rumours I've heard about you are true," Clarissa Hunter said, turning her drink slowly. "You're not the same Penniless son-in-law anymore."Moses cocked his head. "I evolved. It would be a shame if I remained the same pathetic loser, you all used to know.""Doesn't matter if you evolved or not," Daniel Jetsons sneered. "You're still a loser to me."Moses spread his arms. "Then let's prove the con
