Servants

The House of Neptune was not what Moses expected.

First of all, the king and all the nobility lived together under one roof.

The king's palace had over fifty bedroom chambers, not including the ballrooms, the dinner hall, the library, and the courtroom.

This arrangement had been happening for eight generations.

The more the courtiers were within the king's sight, the easier it was for him to monitor them.

Moses hated the house of Neptune. It was impossible to enjoy one's privacy, even the walls have ears.

However, now that Elizabeth had successfully returned to the house of Neptune, she could easily plot her way to the throne.

Still, it won't be a simple task because she had watchful eyes on her every time of the day.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth served as a servant for the house of Neptune.

The House of Neptune all ate at the same dinner table, and in the king's presence.

It was a servant's duty to tend to each member of the household as they ate, which was now Elizabeth's role.

    Moses could barely believe his ears. Life seemed to be going in his favour these days. Moses plans to marry Elizabeth because by being her husband, he would gain access to the King's Vault: a highly secured vault filled with gold. But now, with Czar offering to grant Rockechilds Empire access to their gold, Moses had no more use for Elizabeth. He could easily give up this operation and take full control of the king's vault without her. However, Moses was not like that. He had seen the way the house of Neptune treated Elizabeth. He wanted to help restore her to the throne. Moses smiled inwardly. He was a good person. He couldn't possibly ditch her at such a crucial moment like this. The king's statement surprised the nobles. “Your majesty,” count Luther stood up sharply. “I don't think this is a good idea. We've never allowed strangers to tap into our resources.”Czar glared at him. “Rockechilds Empire are not strangers. They're exceptional investors. We're not offering them a

    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.

  • The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire    The executive board members

    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

  • 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

  • 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

  • The PTA meeting

    "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
