Greene was seated across from Moses in the sitting room. Yuri was clearing the table, but Greene could feel her eyes burning a hole through his head. Moses cleared his throat. “You wanted me, here I am.”Greene swallowed. He clenched and unclenched his hands. “I want to know who really are you?”Moses crossed his legs. “What kind of question is that? You already know who I am.”“Everybody knows you as Moses Potters,” Greene said. “But that's not entirely true. I did my digging on you and I made a discovery.”Moses narrowed his eyes. “What kind of discovery?”“You're Moses Doberman,” Greene answered. “Your clan owns the Umbrella International Bank, which is the fastest growing bank in the twelve cities.”Moses chuckled. “How fascinating. You did well to dig up this information.”“That's because I've been curious to know how you're able to do the things you do,” Greene added. “There's no way a delivery guy could have such power.”Moses felt this man was preparing the ground for someth
Greene disappeared from Preston City with no announcement or clue to where he went. He was too afraid of Moses to last another day in Preston City. Meanwhile, sales of Halo phones soured. By now, many traditional smartphones were declining in sales, as halo phones were more affordable and trendy. Graham incorporated were raking in so much money that they hit $1billion income in less than eight months. By the ninth month, Preston City's mayor booked an appointment with Reggie Graham.On the day of the meeting, Reggie Graham sat in his spacious, modern office overlooking the vibrant skyline of Preston City. Moses sat opposite him in one of the executive chairs. Reggie's secretary ushered into the office the Mayor of Preston City, George,. George wasted no time with pleasantries. “Mr. Graham,” he began, settling into the second vacant chair beside Moses. “Thank you for seeing me on such short notice.” Reggie offered a polite nod. “Of course, Mayor. What can I do for you?” Geor
President Halford was furious when he listened to Graham incorporated terms. He was more livid when he learned the terms were dished out by a nobody, not even the CEO. “What kind of dump do they have working over there?” He snapped angrily. “Who the hell is this Moses Potters to decline my orders, huh?”The senators and ministers were gathered around the president. They were all just as furious as he was. “I'm going to pay this Moses Potters a visit like he insisted,” Halford declared. “If he's just playing me for a fool, then I'll have no other choice but to execute him.”The administrators were all in agreement. * * * * The day after, President Halford arrived at Graham Incorporated with a full entourage of security personnel, ministers, and senators. Reggie himself stood waiting at the entrance, flanked by his staffs, who bowed respectfully as the president walked up to them. Reggie stepped forward to greet him. “Mr. President, it’s an honor to have you here,” Reggie said
Halford frowned. “Don't do anything stupid, Reggie. The government has power. We can shut down your company if we like.”Reggie ran his hands through his hair. “You can't do that. Graham incorporated was bought by Rockechilds Empire months ago. If you're going to shut us down, then you'll have to shut down Rockechilds Empire.”“Piece of cake,” Halford snapped. “We'll just tell them to take their business elsewhere.”Reggie became serious. “And when they do, how would you pay off the national debt?”Halford stuttered. “W–we'll figure a way out. There are many companies that would cooperate with us.”Moses laughed. “You're thinking like a kid. Even if all the companies pay you 40% of their income, it's nowhere enough to clear a quarter of the national debt. Graham incorporated is your only chance of settling half the debt you owe.”Even if this was true, Halford was too prideful to admit it. “I never asked you to speak,” Halford said. “You should be begging for your life.”Moses glared
“Now, wait just a minute,” Halford stammered. His pride was entirely gone. There was nothing more left for him to do but beg. “Moses, we need you. I may have been… harsh earlier, but surely, we can come to an agreement?” Moses crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. “Oh, now you want an agreement? After you threatened my life and disrespected me in my office?” He turned to Reggie. “Reggie, I believe we’re done here.”Reggie turned to Halford. “Mr. President, I think it’s time you leave.”But Halford wasn’t ready to give up. He hurried forward, his hands slightly raised in a pleading gesture. “Please, Moses. I overstepped—I see that now. But you have to understand, this country is drowning. If you walk away, millions of lives will be ruined. I… I made a mistake. I apologize.” Moses didn’t flinch. “Your apologies won't get you anywhere. You never cared to listen to my ideas in the first place. Why should I bother myself with you?”Halford’s voice cracked, desperation taking over.
The private jet touched down smoothly on Soltvian soil on a bright Monday afternoon. As the aircraft taxied to a halt, a convoy of military vehicles waited on the tarmac, flanked by armed guards and black-suited officials.The moment Moses stepped off the plane, he was greeted by a stiff-faced officer, who gestured toward the armoured car waiting nearby.“Mr. Potters, welcome to Soltvia,” the officer said curtly. “We’ve been instructed to escort you directly to Senator Grigoriev’s office.”Moses gave a slight nod. Without a word, he climbed into the back seat of the lead vehicle. The convoy roared to life, speeding through the city’s wide, pristine streets under heavy surveillance. The senator’s office was in a towering government building. The military vehicles pulled to a stop in front of the entrance, and they ushered Moses inside. The elevator ride to the top floor was silent, except for the muffled sound of military boots against polished floors.Senator Grigoriev stood wait
Moses pulled out his halo phone and called Genevieve. The call connected after a single ring, and a 3D holographic image of Genevieve appeared floating in the air. “Genevieve,” Moses said smoothly. “Yes, Mr. Doberman?” Genevieve’s voice was crisp and formal. She seemed to be in the middle of a meeting. “What can I help you with?” “I see you're busy, Genevieve,” Moses spoke. “I need you to send my most recent bank statement to Senator Grigoriev’s e-mail address. It’s urgent.” “Understood. Please provide me with the senator’s details.” Moses turned to Grigoriev, who was now watching him intently and curiously. “Your e-mail address, Senator?” The senator hesitated before scribbling it down on a piece of note and sliding it across the table. Moses glanced at the note and repeated the address to Genevieve. “Got it,” Genevieve confirmed. “I’ll send the document immediately.” “Make it fast,” Moses replied before ending the call. Less than a minute later, the senator’s phone
Moses hasn't been spending much time with his son since he moved to Preston City. Yuri has been taking proper care of Benjamin while Moses had his adventures.As Graham incorporated progressed with its Halo phones, Moses grew insanely richer. Cradling the porcelain cup in his hand, Moses walked to the sitting room and sat down before the TV. He placed his Halo phone on the table and called Genevieve. A shimmering holographic display of Genevieve's 3D image appeared before him. He took a sip from his freshly brewed coffee. “Good morning, Genevieve,” Moses said, staring at the time. It was 3.am in the morning. “Good morning, chairman,” Genevieve greeted with a slight bow. “Sorry I had to keep you all night to do this.”“Go ahead,” Moses urged her. “I understand you have a busy schedule later today.”Genevieve nodded. “Thank you. I'll begin by showing you your annual revenue wrap for the year.”This was Genevieve's idea. She suggested she deliver the progression of his revenue eve
Moses frowned after being slapped. "You hit me in the face. That was a mistake."Vanessa lurched forward and slapped Moses as well. "Who the hell do you think you are to question us why we slapped you. Hell, I'll slap you over and over again if I please and there's nothing you can do about it."Moses could feel Yuri's bloodlust creeping up on him from the kitchen. She appeared out of the kitchen, a thick frown on her face. "Is there a problem, honey?"Moses stiffened as he noticed she was still holding the kitchen knife in her hand. "It's okay, Yuri, return to the kitchen. Let me handle this."Gabriella glanced into the house and when she saw Yuri, a wide smile appeared on her face. "Oh, so you have a wife. Perfect," Gabriella said, brushing passed Moses into the house. She headed straight for Yuri and slapped her. "You must be Moses wife. That's good to know. Did you know your husband convinced my husband to hand over his entire assets to him? What sort of husband did you marry o
A thick silence ensued in the living room as Moses delivered the bad news to Bernie's three wives. The three wives stared at Moses, their eyes widening in shock. They couldn't believe their ears. Diana shot to her feet, her face flushed with rage. "What do you mean there's no other money? I have bills to sort out, staffs to pay and a lifestyle to maintain. Who does Bernie thinks he is, abandoning my needs?"Gabriella stood to her feet as well, pointing her finger at Moses. "Did I just hear you say two months? So I have to wait another two months before getting my allowance? This is a joke right? Do you have any idea how much I spend in a week?"Moses wrinkled his nose. These entitled women made his skin crawl. "I wasn't finished," Moses went on. "Bernie noticed you've all been wasteful of his resources so he's implemented some new changes to your allowances."Vanessa who remained seated in her chair glared at Moses. "Some changes? What is this changes if I may ask."Moses turned
Bernie Silverman was startled. "You're the landlord of New Haven estate?"Moses nodded. "That's right. But don't tell anyone. I rather keep my identity a secret. Only a handful of people I trust knows I'm the landlord."Bernie Silverman had heard stories about the mysterious landlord and his prowess.This man standing before him not only bought New Haven estate but also destroyed Prince Harry and took control of his estate. Even as a billionaire, Bernie Silverman knew he was no match for Moses kind of wealth and power. "I'm shocked to hear this," Bernie said, taking a step back. "Why did you reveal yourself to me?"Moses smirked. "Well, first of all, I like you, Bernie. You're a good man but you're stupid. No offense, but with all that money in your bank account, you still can't control your women."Bernie was convinced Moses was the landlord. Only a powerful person could speak to him that way without any hint of fear. Moses went on. "Secondly, I hate your wives. Some weeks back
After Moses confrontation and warning, no one dared to cause anymore trouble for him. The Jackson family left the estate along with the Washington family. Feeling outclassed and afraid of Moses, they decided to leave the city entirely. Only the Bennett family stayed behind and kept to themselves. Moses had now acquired both New Haven estate and the Royalty estate. Neither the Jackson family nor the Washington family had the courage to expose his true identity to anyone. The Bennett family kept their mouth shut and avoided Moses as best as they could. The mysterious landlord of New Haven estate and Royalty estate remained their secret. Not long after the Washingtons and Jackson's departure, their houses were soon rented by new tenants. The Silverman Family. They were a large family. The familys patriarch, Bernie Silverman was a billionaire in his mid-fifties. He has three beautiful wives and many children. Bernie Silverman owns a mansion which he built in his hometown. The
"...I am the Mysterious landlord you've all heard about.”A long period of silence ensued in the dinning room as all three families stared at Moses in shock. “The mysterious landlord?” Mrs. Jackson whispered, her hand clenching her husband’s arm. "You came all the way here just to tell us you're the mysterious landlord who has been causing unrest in district twelve?"Moses regarded her for a while. "It might seemed so."Mr. James Bennett dropped his fork with a clatter, his jaw tightening. “Impossible,” he muttered, his voice barely audible. “You're an Uber driver. There's no way you could be our landlord.”Moses wrinkled his nose at James Bennett. “Why don't we ask the Washingtons what they think? They've always been suspicious of me.”Mr. Washington’s eyes widened, his lips parted as if to speak, but no words came out. Mrs. Washington gripped the edge of the table, her knuckles white. “You're... you're not bluffing now, are you Moses?” she stammered. Moses smiled faintly. “I ass
The three top families in New Haven estate; the Washington family, the Jackson family and the Bennett family had a family dinner to discuss about the new development surrounding the mysterious landlord and Prince Harry's downfall. "There's something about this new landlord that we aren't noticing," Mr. Washington began. "And it's Moses.""That's right," Mrs. Washington added. "Despite the little we know of the Potters, it's obvious Moses Potters could be the new landlord."James Bennett and carol Bennett exchanged looks. "Moses Potters?" James Bennett ate his chicken. "The guy's an Uber driver. There's no way he could be the mysterious landlord.""I didn't believe it either at first," Mrs. Washington said. "But there's just so much going on that points to him. His major source of income remains unknown. I believe he's using this Uber driver job to hide something.""More importantly, he got released out of detention while Prince Harry took the heat. You may say the Big Boss was the o
Prince Harry sat on the edge of the cold steel bench in his detention cell like a homeless beggar. The gray walls felt as if they were closing in, amplifying his anger and frustration. When the sound of approaching footsteps echoed down the corridor, he jumped to his feet, gripping the bars with white-knuckled hands.The man who entered was tall and stoic, dressed in a crisp black suit. It was the royal advisor, Sir Archibald, the king's most trusted confidant. "Finally!" Harry barked. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you?""Sorry I took so long, your highness," Sir Archibald didn't bow. "There was a slight delay.""A slight delay?" Prince Harry scowled. "I've been in detention for two weeks. Look at me. Look at how my beards are all brown. I'm a prince for crying out loud."Archibald didn't say anything. Prince Harry slammed his hand against the wall. "This is an outrage! I demand the royal family intervene immediately. Use whatever influence, resources, or f
The room fell silent. The other agents exchanged nervous glances, their eyes shaking from fear. "Did he just said war?" One of the agents whispered. "I didn't sign up for this," Another whispered back. "This is a serious matter."Harper stood frozen, as Jenkins’ words sank in. "How is it possible he's married to Queen Elizabeth?" He asked himself. "Is this guy for real?"The room remained silent with the weight of Jenkins' words pressing down on everybody. Harper’s hands trembled as he fumbled to unlock Moses’ handcuffs, the metallic click echoing in the silence. “I-I apologize,” Harper stammered, stepping back as Moses calmly rubbed his wrists.“Release the other woman immediately,” Harper barked at the other agents, his voice cracking. They scurried out of the room without hesitation.Moses stood to his feet, his Shadow hovering over everyone. Jenkins made the next move. "On your knees!" Jenkins roared, his authoritative voice slicing through the air like a blade. “Bow and g
Moses and Yuri were interrogated separately. The interrogation room was cold and bare, with a steel table bolted to the floor and a single flickering fluorescent light overhead. Moses sat in the lone chair, his hands cuffed to the table. The bald agent from earlier entered with a file under his arm and a cold expression written all over his face.“I'm agent Harper,” the bald agent threw the file onto the table. “I've dug through your file. A millionaire disguised as an Uber driver. Quite suspicious, don't you think?”Moses leaned back slightly, tilting his head. “I never imagined people would address me as a millionaire but thanks for the compliment.”Harper's lips curled into a mocking smile. “Compliment, huh? You sound very confident and calm for a man with federal charges. What's the story you’re sticking with? Tell me.”“Well, if you must know,” Moses replied evenly, “one lucky ticket changed my life then I decided to invest all that money into a house. It's the best investmen
