The White family's annual all White party was the biggest event in the Twelve cities. Super stars, celebrities, movies stars, famous musicians and high ranking political figures all grace the White family's all White party. To be invited to the White family's party was the highest recognition of honour and respect. Moses arrived at the entrance of the White House, a magnificent Victorian era architecture mansion all painted white. He was accompanied by Lauren Cobbs and Yuri. The grand hall was filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses as guests swirled in and out of conversation.Everyone was all dressed in crisp, luxurious white clothes. Declan White, the patriarch of the White family, spotted Moses and immediately raised his voice for all to hear. “Moses Doberman, how nice of you to come!” He grinned, his full white beard covering almost half of his face . “I didn’t think you’d be brave enough to show up, considering… well, recent history.” A murmur of amusement rippl
Declan white was startled. "Wait, let's backtrack a little. You are wagering your family's bank on the line over a stupid game?"Moses smile remained fixed on his face. "It's not a stupid game. It's a test of our capacity as the top elite families of the Twelve cities."He continued after a short pause. "The umbrella international bank is estimated at $200 million in the last couple of month and still growing. The bank is all yours if I fail to make you all grovel. Isn't that a juicy wager?"The three families exchanges looks. They were intrigued by Moses confidence and audacity. "Indeed the rumours I've heard about you are true," Clarissa Hunter said, turning her drink slowly. "You're not the same Penniless son-in-law anymore."Moses cocked his head. "I evolved. It would be a shame if I remained the same pathetic loser, you all used to know.""Doesn't matter if you evolved or not," Daniel Jetsons sneered. "You're still a loser to me."Moses spread his arms. "Then let's prove the con
The four elite families were all seated around the round table at the center of the grand hall. All the guests surrounded them, watching the scene as if it were a performance. On the table were several documents, with lawyers on standby. The Doberman clan, the White family, the Jetsons and the Hunter family had all signed a strong binding contract of agreement about their stakes in this game. The only one at the losing end with the highest disadvantage was Moses.However, Moses didn't seem faltered a bit. He was ten times more confident than anyone had seen. As soon as he finished signing his clan's signature of approval on the deed, he leaned back in his chair and casually lit up a cigarette. “Let's proceed,” He said. Taylor, Declan White's oldest son, headed the game. With a microphone in his hand, he announced to the onlookers. “The rules of the game are simple. Five individuals from the crowd must each put out a challenge to the elite families to pull through.”Taylor cont
Westminster was alarmed when he received a call from the Doberman that Moses wanted him at the White family's mansion. He practically raced out of his bed and hopped into the presidential car. With a voice he didn't recognize was his own, Westminster urged his driver to go as fast as he possibly can to the White family's mansion. Sweat beads ran down Westminster's face as he was rushed through the highway. Westminster was scared of the Doberman clan. He was mostly scared of Moses. That man has the command of the Niklauria army, he disgraced general Harrington, defeated Lord Barnabas and made him dance the dance of shame. Moses was a ticking time bomb. It would be careless of Westminster to offend him. No matter how anyone chose to look at it, Moses was the most powerful man in the Twelve cities. In ten minutes, Westminster arrived at the front gates of the White family. Taking a deep breath, he ran into the big mansion. The moment president Westminster strode into the large
Declan grit his teeth at Moses for hitting him. “I swear I'll make you pay for that,” He vowed viciously. Moses returned to his seat and crossed his legs. “Let's continue the game, shall we? We still have four more challenges left.”As Declan sat down, a young woman stepped out. “I'm curious to see who among the Elite families can purchase the Great Pearl.”This intrigued everyone.Ten years ago, in a small coastal village known for its modest fishing trade, a fisherman cast his net into the turquoise waters when something caught his eye.Diving into the water, he discovered a massive, shimmering orb, unlike anything he’d ever seen. When he brought it to the surface, he found out it was a pearl. The pearl was big, nearly a foot wide, and weighing over 34 kilograms. The pearl was quickly appraised by experts all over the world.It was then confirmed as the largest pearl ever discovered. Because of its rarity and unparalleled size, the pearl was valued at a staggering $3.8 billio
Declan White clenched his fist, feeling the pressure mounting. “Three point six billion,” he said firmly, casting a glance toward Moses.Moses still hadn’t spoken a word. His silence was unnerving and disturbing.Declan White began to wonder if Moses was simply waiting to make a move when they least expected it.He had a bad intuition about Moses' silence but he paid little attention to it. “Three point eight billion,” Clarissa Hunter declared. Deep down, she was growing nervous. Her family was nearing the edge of what they were willing to risk.If she failed to obtain the Great Pearl, she would lose both the infinite castle and the $3 billion she staked in the game. However, if she obtained the great pearl, she would gain not just the Infinite castle but also an additional $6.3 billion on top of it. Which was why she was going all out to win.Daniel Jetson hesitated, sweat forming on his brow as he weighed his options. The Jetson family was already stretched with this wager, bu
“Now, just a minute,” Declan White exclaimed. “How did you get all that money? Explain to us how the Doberman clan could afford $8 billion?”Moses leaned back in his chair. “I told you before, didn't I? Influence. I have a strong network of billionaires who the Big Boss is friends with.”Clarissa Hunter and Daniel Jetsons couldn't believe their ears. “Who are these billionaires you speak of?” Clarissa Hunter asked. Moses shook his head. “I cannot tell you. The Big Boss has many mysterious acquaintances who are ten times richer than him. As his agent, I can afford to ask for a favour now and then.”Everyone realized that the Doberman clan wasn't as useless as they used to be. No one knew the Big Boss actual net worth, but everybody perceived he was a wealthy man.A man of his caliber must also have friends who are equally or twice richer than him. Moses had won both the first and second round, humiliating the three elite families. “So,” Moses clapped his hands. “Let's continue th
Declan White was lost for words. Two out of the three Elite families were both grovelling before Moses. He was the only one left. Why in the world would they be so stupid?They have brought shame and humiliation to not just their families but also to him, who associated with them. “This is preposterous,” Declan White snapped. “You two are nothing but a couple of losers.”Moses cleared his throat. “Then seat down and finish the game. You have nothing to lose after all.”Declan white sat down, his face vicious and filled with hatred. “I'll beat you, Moses Doberman. Up to now, you've barely scrapped by. You were just lucky.”Moses leaned forward, his eyes amusing. “Sorry to burst your bubble, Declan. I will never lose to anyone, especially to you.”Declan White snapped his finger in the air. “The next challenge. Who has the next challenge?”A woman in a sharp, tailored suit stepped forward. “If we’re talking about power and wealth, let's see the proof. I propose we examine the bank s
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
