Despite Greene's outburst, he did nothing to Moses.

He didn't arrest him nor sued him to court for two reasons: he had no proof Moses was behind his predicament and secondly, he was scared of taking the fight to Rockechilds Empire.

There was a slim chance he would win if Rockechilds Empire get involved in the fight and defended Moses.

Greene had so much to lose which was why he decided to let the sleeping dog lie.

Meanwhile, Moses continued to work as an underdog in Graham Incorporated.

No one, not even Reggie's himself had the slightest idea that Moses was the true owner of the company.

Reggie was CEO but the puppet master was still Moses.

In the weeks that followed, Moses developed a strong interest in Graham Incorporated.

The more he went through the company's portfolio, the more untapped potentials he saw.

Now, while Graham incorporated primarily specialized in producing computers and laptops, Moses wanted to introduce a revolutionary product that could disrupt the tech

    To Elliott's surprise, Reggie approved of Moses' offer and made him head of the hologram phones department. Under twenty-four hours, Elliott's patent was bought by Graham incorporated and a contract was signed. The deal was done in secret, away from public eyes. The hologram phones department had just eight devoted and trusted workers who developed the technology and kept their mouth shut. Moses acted as the supervisor, admiring the work that ran into the phones. The months flew by like a breeze. In the fourth month, the technology was ready to go public. For its debut, Moses made Reggie organized a launching event. They sent invitations to all major corporations that had conspired to suppress Elliott's hologram technology. Even Greene himself received an invitation. The invitation didn't state what innovation was going to be unveiled, but the guest list attended the occasion. At the height of the event, the lights dimmed, and the murmurs of the crowd hushed. A spotlight i

    For a moment, Greene froze, his face growing ugly. Then he exploded. “What do you mean, I’m not getting a cut? I’m the rightful heir to Graham Incorporated! I deserve a piece of everything this company does!” Reggie turned back to him, his gaze icy. “You lost the right to that privilege the time you put your greed above Elliott's vision.”Greene snarled. “What's that supposed to mean?”“You’ve done nothing but sabotage Elliott's innovation and suppress his patent for your benefit,” Reggie explained. “As a result of that, you won't get a penny out of the revenue generated from Halo phones.”As Greene opened his mouth, Moses entered with Elliott beside him. “Well, well, well, look who we have here,” Moses said. The smug expression on Moses' face made Greene's face burned with rage. “What are you doing here, Moses?” Greene barked. “This doesn't concern you.”Moses stopped in front of him, his gaze piercing. “I heard you ranting, so I decided to hop in. You're so entitled. Do you wa

    It was a late evening when Reggie drove up the long winding road to the Graham family residence. He saw Greene pacing around the entrance of their family home, shouting at his siblings—Boris, Margot, and Cecilia. Greene's face was flushed with frustration as he waved his arms in exasperation, cursing and swearing. Reggie slowed his car and rolled down the window. "What the hell is going on here?" he called out, stepping out of the vehicle.Margot, who was visibly furious, turned toward him, pointing at Greene. "Ask Greene that question. He owed each one of us money which he refuses to pay. And now he’s furious because we’ve had enough and are kicking him out."Greene shot Margot a venomous look. "Oh, don’t act all high and mighty! You’re just upset because I needed a little help. What’s family for, huh?""Help?" Boris barked, his fists clenched at his sides. "You owe me $3.5 million, Greene. Do you even remember that? Or how you promised to pay it back in three months and didn’t?

    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.

    “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

    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

    "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

    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
