Moses glanced around, confused at what was happening. This was unexpected. No one saw it coming. However, Moses remained calm and fearless. He noticed these military men were not hostile towards him and his clansmen. The door to one of the SUVs opened and a young man in a white suit stepped out of the rear door. This man seemed to be in his early twenties, with a handsome face that a K-pop star would be proud to flex. He stood before Moses and eyed him up and down. Moses held this young man's gaze for the longest moment. He didn't flinch a bit. “Who are you? And what do you want?” Moses asked, his voice deep and unflattering. The young man smiled. “I was told Moses Doberman was a penniless loser, but by mere looking at you, I can tell those rumours aren't true.”Moses folded his arms. “That doesn't answer my question. This is the Doberman's residence. You're on our turf without invitation, which is very disrespectful. State your business.”“My name is Alexander,” the young ma
Alexander stiffened in shock. “Y-you… You declined? Why?”Moses sighed. “To be honest with you, I really don't want to get mixed up in this whole royal family drama. I like peace.”“But I wasn't asking you to do anything. All I want is to meet with the Big Boss and give him my offer,” Alexander said breathlessly. Moses shook his head. “I don't think the Big Boss would be interested in aiding your princess to overthrow anyone. He's a business person and that's all there is to him.”“I understand that,” Alexander tried not to sound desperate. “We only require his financial backing. He needn't go to war with anybody.”Moses regarded Alexander closely. “And what if your princess fails to regain the throne? What would happen to her if this operation blows over, and she loses to her brother?”Alexander clenched his jaws. “We would rather not discourage our hearts with the consequences. We're simply taking actions as it deem necessary.”“That's the problem,” Moses yawned, stretching his bac
The Underground Slave auction was held in secret. Even in modern times, slave trade was still carried out. However, with the abolishment of slave trade today, slave auctions were held in secret and attended by elite families. It was dusk, and the auction was about to begin. Moses, Yuri, and Alexander were granted entry into the dimly lit underground auction hall. Now, in order to conceal their identity, everyone wore animal masks, making it nearly impossible to distinguish who belonged to which family. The masks served as a symbol of power and intimidation to its wearers. Each of the families were called by their beast masks, ensuring their anonymity. Moses and Yuri and Alexander entered the hall putting on Doberman pinscher masks.It costs Moses $5 million to purchase a gateway fee and these masks to gain entrance into the auction. Moses didn't think much about the money. He was here to rescue the Sun Princess afterall. The trio strolled to their seats and sat down without
“$10 billion,” Moses declared. All eyes turned sharply to Moses. Everybody was speechless. The three powerful families never thought there was someone in the crowd with more money than they could spend. The host's voice shook as he announced. “Sold to the Dog's group.”Moses stood up. “Let's get out of here, guys.”Alexander and Yuri followed Moses as they went behind the stage. Moses had a sick feeling all eyes were on him, wondering who he was and how much money he had to be able to beat the Fox family. * * * * A beefy security guard escorted Moses to the back of the room of the underground auction. It was a cold and damp chamber, lit by low lighting. The slave dealer appeared out of a second door. He wore a goat mask and swung a cane in his left hand. The slave dealer sat down behind a small counter. He placed a document of purchase on the counter and pointed at a section on the papers. “Sign here,” the dealer said. “After you're done signing, we'll finalize on the meth
Fear paralyzed the fox family. They had never been in such a tight position before. “Please, don't kill him,” a member of the Fox family cried out. “He's the most important member of our family. His existence matters to us. Take my life instead.”Moses could tell even without a prophet that this woman was the child's mother. “That depends on him,” Moses responded to her. “You people claimed the life of an innocent man. How do you account for that?”The masked woman gulped. “We can pay for damages and—”“Bullshit!” Moses barked. “Don't treat human lives like they're commodities to be bought and sold. If that's how little you value the life of someone, then I have no problems with slaughtering the child.”“The reason we chose not to kill you in the first place was because we don't know the extent of your wealth or powers,” the tall man said breathlessly. “We are truly sorry for murdering the slave dealer. Please, spare our patriarch.”Moses glared at him. “I'm against killing, but sin
Elizabeth gave Moses one simple answer. “Yes, I will marry the Big Boss.”That was all Moses needed to hear. No further questions were asked.During their voyage, Moses and Yuri did intensive research on the Golden snail. The Golden snail was very rare and could be found only in the mountain springs in China. To Moses' luck, he learnt two golden snails were discovered last year. One snail was eaten by a powerful supreme leader who thought if he ate the snail, it would grant him immortality. The supreme leader instead had serious health complications and had been bedridden for the past one year. The Golden snail was never meant to be eaten. It was meant to be kept as a trophy. Yuri spent hours as she searched for any information on the second Golden snail. Eventually, her search led her to a post from the early months of the year. “His name is Luke. He claimed to own the second Golden snail and keep it in his private collections,” Yuri showed Moses a picture of a glass enclos
Clayton couldn't believe his eyes. “$3 billion?”Moses nodded. “That's my last offer.”Clayton regarded Moses closely. “But that's twice the amount I paid for it. No one would pay such an amount for a snail.”Moses shrugged. “I intend to gift the snail to someone. It's worth it's price. So, what do you say?”Clayton licked his dry lips. “If you have the money, then we'll talk.”Moses smirked. “First, get rid of everyone else in here. The tour is over.”It surprised the other guests who laughed at Moses as Clayton shooed them away. “This is unacceptable,” one guest shouted. “We paid good morning to be here. You can't throw us out like that.”Moses grimaced. He turned to Clayton. “Have their money refunded. I don't want to see them in your mansion as long as I'm in here.”Clayton didn't know why, but he trusted Moses' words. “Your money would be refunded to you on your way out the door. Unless this gentleman leaves, you're all prohibited from stepping foot in here.”The crowd booed an
The courtiers gasped in shock as they recognized the golden snail. “It's the Golden Snail,” one courtier shouted in disbelief. “It's real? I've never seen one so close before in my life.”Czar Nikolai leaned forward, his eyes shining with astonishment. The creature fascinated him. The snail's shell gleamed under the lights of the chandeliers, casting a golden light across the hall. Moses grinned. He needed no prophet to tell him he had captivated the king. “Your majesty,” Moses continued. “This is the golden snail. It's known to appear once in a century. As of this moment, you're the only man in this lifetime who possesses the snail. Are you impressed, your majesty?”To my Moses surprise, Czar didn't whisper to his advisor. “I'll admit I was getting bored with all the other gifts presented to me. But this one,” Czar said as he stood to his feet and strolled towards the glass enclosure. Czar's voice was small and husky. His lips parted into a wide smile. “I'm clearly impressed
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
“Seize my estate? Is this some kind of joke?”“I assure you, it is not,” Harold said firmly. “The landlord is within his rights. He has connections with powerful legal entities, and he is prepared to act.”Harry’s face darkened, his teeth grinding in frustration. “Then tell me who this landlord is,” he demanded. “I want a name.”There was a brief pause on the other end. “I’m afraid I cannot reveal that information, Your Highness,” Harold said finally.“You will tell me!” Harry barked. “Or I’ll make sure the Estate Board regrets this!”“I’m sorry, Your Highness, but the landlord has instructed us to keep his identity confidential. Have a good day.” With that, Harold ended the call.Harry stared at the phone in his hand, his chest heaving with barely-contained rage. This was the first time in his life someone dared to challenge his authority in such a manner. The audacity! Whoever this mysterious landlord was, Harry vowed to uncover his identity. “No one makes a fool out of me,” he g
No one, since the day he was born had anyone ever spoken to Prince Harry the way Moses just did. Prince Harry couldn't believe his ears. "Did you just threatened me?"Moses eyes narrowed. "That wasn't a threat. It was simply a warning. Stay away from my family and I'll have no trouble with you."Before Prince Harry could respond, Moses drove off into the busy road. Prince Harry watched Moses leave, his head boiling. "How dare that poor Uber driver?" Prince Harry gritted his teeth. "I'll make you beg on your knees, you little worm."Prince Harry made an immediate call, giving out orders to his goons. "Take away Moses Potters child. I don't care what happens to the mother. Wreck the house. I want to make a statement to that fool that I'm not to be trifled with."After he hung up, a wide grin appeared on Harry's face. * * * *Prince Harry was lounging in his study and sipping on a glass of whiskey. He was waiting patiently for his men to return with Benjamin. Harry enjoyed a good c
