"I am the Big Boss," Moses whispered.

Declan White felt as if the air inside him was sucked away.

His eyes widened in shock as Moses reared back away from him.

"It's a lie," Declan White said, his voice shaking. "I don't believe it."

Moses gestured his hands around him. "Look around you, Declan. Do you think the Doberman clan has the financial capability to pull this off?"

Declan White's eyes threatened to fall off his sockets. "You're telling me that the you are the Big boss all along? Why didn't you say so?"

Moses stepped up closer to him. "Because I prefer to live a quiet humble life. If you think I give a fuck about this stupid game, you have another thought coming."

"Then why did you suggest it in the first place?" Declan White asked, his shock giving way to anger. "You could have just come clean and admit you were the Big Boss all along."

Moses laughed. "Where's the fun in that? If I announced to the whole world that I'm the Big Boss, no one would believe me. And even if they

    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

    Marcus Graham, the family patriarch of the Graham family lay down on his sick bed, battling with his life. His condition was so bad he could barely speak a word to anyone. 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.

    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.

    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?

    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

Feeling outclassed and afraid of Moses, they decided to leave the city entirely. Only the Bennett family stayed behind and kept to themselves.

    Final warning

    "...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.

    Detention

    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

    The interrogation

    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
