The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire The campaign
The interview week for Paradise City began. Thousands of applicants, from all corners of the globe, gathered at the facility Moses had rented for the interview.. Despite the Titans' relentless attempts to sow doubt and discourage participation, the turnout for the intervention was massive. By the end of the week, Moses and his team had assembled a core group of 2,000 exceptional individuals. These were the core group of the project. They are composed of scientists, architectures, and engineers. The remaining workforce, as Genevieve had estimated, would come from contractors, suppliers, and labor teams hired from construction firms worldwide. These constituted 200,000 workers. It was the most extravagant labor pool in history. Moses wasted no time in beginning construction. * * * * As the news of the successful interview and screening spread, the Titans began to feel the pressure. Their attempts to make Moses look bad in the public eye had only amplified his fame. Every br
The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire The court hearing
The federal Court was packed to the brim with people who have come to witness the hearing. Every media house crowded the outside of the court and inside. In the front rows, the Titans—Sebass, Victoria March, Felix Crane, Regina Voss, and Arden Blake—sat with smug expressions plastered on their faces. Behind them were government officials, aerospace regulators, and environmental analysts. The judge, Justice Eleanor Draycott, called for order. “This court is now in session to address the legitimacy of the Paradise City project and its implications for international law, safety, and environmental concerns. We shall hear arguments from all parties, starting with the petitioners.”Sebass was the first to take the stand. He strode to the podium.“Your Honor,” he began as the crowd fell silent. “Mr. Tony has yet to answer the most critical question: where is the money coming from?”“I'm sure the world wants to know, how can someone with no verifiable public assets can fund a project of t

The city was built with the capacity to house over 5,000 residents with futuristic architecture housing, schools, hospitals, recreational centers, and commercial districts.

The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire North Hills
As far as Benjamin could remember, his family was constantly moving. Now that he was seven years old, his family was moving to North Hills. Benjamin was a smart kid. He noticed his dad was continually changing appearances, especially when migrating to new places. He couldn't understand why his dad does this. Was he a cosplayer?Today, his dad grew out his mustache, dyed his black hair blond and wore his hair all back. He barely recognized him. “Dad, why are you always changing appearances whenever we move?” Benjamin asked. They were getting off the train. Moses smiled at him. “Because a new environment means a new identity to me, son. When you grow up, you will understand.”But Benjamin didn't understand. His mother isn't anything like that at all. Benjamin loved Yuri as a child would love his mother, nevertheless he never for once, suspected she wasn't his biology mother. That just shows how dedicated Yuri was to raising Benjamin, even though she had no experience. In fact,

The arrival of the Potters at New Havens Estate caused an immediate stir. In a neighborhood where everyone knew each other’s business, new faces were bound to draw attention. What made it even more interesting was after the dramatic slap incident involving the real estate agent. By the next morning, the gossip had already spread like wildfire. At a family dinner hosted by the Bennetts, a prominent family in the estate, the topic dominated the conversation.“I heard he slapped the agent right after buying the house!” said Carol Bennett, cutting into her roast beef. “Who does that? And with such confidence!”“More importantly,” her husband added, “how does someone like that afford to live here? He didn’t look like one of us.”Their teenage daughter, Emma, scrolled through her phone. “Some neighbors are saying they’re called the Potters. The wife is stunning, and the kid seems normal enough. But the dad… he’s odd.”Around the neighborhood, theories were thrown out—perhaps Moses was a

"So, where are you from, Mr. Potter?" James Bennett asked as he swirled the wine in his glass.Yuri answered. "Oh, we’ve moved around quite a bit," she said with a warm smile. "Moses’ work keeps us on the move. We’ve lived in several places over the years— the Twelve cities, Preston City, you name it."Carol Bennett raised an eyebrow. "Always on the move? That must be quite an adjustment for your son."Yuri nodded. "It is, but Benjamin is resilient. He’s made the best of it. Kids adapt faster than we give them credit for.""And what exactly is it that keeps you moving, Mr. Potter?" David Lewis asked, his tone friendly but laced with curiosity.Moses smiled, his expression unreadable. "I’m an Uber driver," he said simply.There was a pause, and then an awkward laugh escaped Carol Bennett's lips. "An Uber driver?" she repeated, clearly skeptical. "I didn’t realize Uber paid so handsomely."This was it. They were curious. "It doesn’t, Mrs. Bennett," Moses replied smoothly, his tone cal

A heavy silence filled the room, thick and suffocating. All eyes were on Moses, their expressions were written with shock. Lydia Lewis stood frozen for a moment, her hand pressed to her reddening cheek. Then, with a sudden shriek of rage, she lunged at Moses, her hands clawing wildly as tears streamed down her face. "You bastard! How dare you hit me?!" she screamed, her voice echoing through the grand room. "I'll kill you! I'll make you pay for this!"David Lewis surged forward as well, his face red with fury. "How dare you lay a hand on my wife!" he roared. "You’re a damn bastard! You think you can walk in here and do as you please?"Moses backed up, shielding himself from Lydia's furious onslaught as her fists flailed against his chest and arms. He raised his voice. "Mrs. Lewis, you should be grateful I slapped you. If I hadn’t, my wife would have beaten you up so badly you would barely be able to move for weeks."The other guests started to gather around the scene. Yuri step

The next morning, whispers about the Potters spread like wildfire across District Twelve. From the elegant villas to the manicured gardens, residents eagerly swapped stories about the scandalous events at the Washington mansion. The name “Potter” became synonymous with audacity and disgrace.Lydia Lewis was at the forefront of the gossip as she recounted the night’s events to anyone who would listen. She described Moses as a reckless brute with no self-control, a man who dared to strike a woman in front of an esteemed crowd. But she didn’t stop there.“I heard he squandered his lottery winnings on luxury cars and designer suits,” Lydia whispered loudly at a coffee shop, ensuring the group of women around her hung on her every word. “And now, they live on credit. Imagine, a man like that driving for Uber to make ends meet! It’s pathetic.”Her audience gasped in shock and amusement. Lydia smirked, satisfied that her tale was gaining traction. Soon, the story evolved into an exagge

Epilogue
A year later, Claude Laurent stood in court, drenched in sweat. His hands trembled as he gripped the table in front of him, his face pale like a ghost. He now looked like a broken man. The courtroom was packed with reporters and spectators.At the front of the room, Moses sat with a cigarette between his fingers, watching Claude quietly. Before Claude lay a stack of legal documents, waiting for his signature. He was about to hand over his prized hotel to Moses without collecting a single dime.The Imperial Twin Hotel had crushed all competition in its first year, raking in over $60 billion in revenue. It had become a global sensation which attracted the wealthiest patrons, celebrities, and business moguls from all over the world. On the other hand, Diamond Fountain suffered. Its bookings plummeted overnight. Within that same year, they signed for bankruptcy. According to the legal agreement between Moses and Claude, Diamond Fountain Hotel now belonged to Moses. For free!W
The Endgame
Word spread like wildfire across Ice City. The Imperial Hotel was undergoing a massive transformation. The houses surrounding the Imperial Hotel had been purchased and demolished, making way for a sprawling new foundation. Cranes could be seen towering over the site, and workers bustling about, laying the groundwork.Moses called for a press conference, inviting journalists from every major news outlet in the city. The event was held in a temporary conference hall near the construction site, and the room was packed with reporters, photographers, and curious onlookers.Moses stepped onto the stage, dressed in a sharp black suit. He stood at the podium and addressed the crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today. I’m Floyd Westchester, and I’m here to announce the future of the Imperial Hotel.”He paused, allowing the murmurs of surprise to ripple through the crowd. No one recognized his name, but this was what Moses wanted. Until this project is completed, Mos
Claude's Challenge
Moses was taken aback by Claude’s sudden outburst. The man’s cheerful expression had vanished, replaced by a storm of anger and resentment. Moses raised his hands slightly, trying to defuse the tension. “Whoa, hold on. Why do you say ‘over my dead body’? What’s your issue with the Imperial Hotel?”Claude’s face twisted with bitterness as he leaned forward, his hands gripping the edge of his desk. “Madame Aurora,” he spat the name like it was poison. “She made my life a living hell. I was once an employee at the Imperial Hotel, loyal and dedicated. But no matter how hard I worked, it was never enough for her.” “She belittled me, humiliated me, and treated me like dirt. I vowed to destroy her and everything she stood for. And I did. I built Diamond Fountain Hotel to surpass hers, to crush her legacy. I won’t let her name or her hotel rise again—not as long as I’m alive.”Moses sat in stunned silence, processing Claude’s words. It seemed Madame Aurora’s cruelty had come full circle.
Diamond Fountain Hotel
Ice City was a prosperous city. However, the living expenses for the average man was bloody expensive. Moses had made arrangements for a dinner meeting with the number one hotel in Ice City. Diamond Fountain Hotel.This was the hotel that overthrow the Imperial hotel.Moses was impressed by the luxury when he stepped inside the hotel. Yet, the Infinite Castle hotel was dead ass a hundred times luxurious than this hotel.Diamond Fountain Hotel allows a free tour of the hotel to tourist.Before his meeting, Moses took his precious time to survey the hotel from the beginning to the end. The guide outlay the history of the hotel and how it's been reigning at the top for years. The more the guide spoke, the more disappointed Moses was at Madame Aurora. He was disappointed she gave up and allowed this hotel to beat hers.Diamond Fountain hotel was good, no doubt, but it was nowhere close to the glory days of the Imperial hotel. One of the major issues Moses took note during his tour
Second chance
The funeral for Madame Aurora was a small, quiet, affair, held in the grand hall of the Imperial Hotel. Only members of the Momo family were present during the funeral. Apart from them, there were scarcely anyone else aside Moses who had come to pay his last respect.Moses and Yuri stood at the back, observing quietly.Madame Aurora had once been a formidable figure in her earlier years. Her death marked the end of an era as the most powerful matriarch across the twelve cities. After the funeral, Valeria approached Moses and Yuri. “Moses, my grandmother left something for you. It’s in the study. Would you come with me?” she asked softly. Moses exchanged a glance with Yuri before nodding. They followed Valeria to a private study on the upper floor of the hotel. The room was dimly lit, lined with towering shelves of old books. A grand mahogany desk stood at its center.Seated behind the desk was Glenn. "It's been ages, Moses," Glenn said, smiling stiffly. "I'm glad you could m
Valeria
Moses felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulder after resolving the royal family conflict. A month after, Benjamin was crowned king at the ripe age of sixteen. Moses settled down in the United Kingdom Of Niklauria and live together with his new family. A week after Benjamin’s coronation, Moses was enjoying his quiet time, surfing on the royal palace's private beach. As he was prepared to ride another round of waves, Yuri approached him.“There’s someone here to see you.”Moses looked up, his brow furrowing. “Who is it? I'm about to ride another wave.”Yuri stepped aside and gestured for the visitor to come forward. A woman stepped forward, her head bowed, and her hands clasped tightly in front of her. Moses’s eyes widened in shock as he instantly recognized her.“Valeria?” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. It was his ex-wife, Valeria, from the Momo family. Moses hadn’t seen her in seventeen years—not since the Momo family disappeared from the twelve
Forgiveness
A soft chuckle escaped Elizabeth’s lips. She leaned back on her throne and regarded Benjamin closely.“Very well,” she said. “I will step down.”Curtis’s head snapped toward her, his jaws dropping. “What!” he exclaimed in shock.Elizabeth sighed, rising gracefully from her throne. “This was my decision from the very beginning, Curtis.” She continued. “When you spiraled out of my control, I sought for Moses’s help. I knew Benjamin would return. I chose him.”Curtis’s face twisted into a mask of fury. “You—You planned this all along?” His voice grew louder. “And you expect me to just step aside for some stranger to take the throne?”“He's your brother,” Elizabeth corrected, her tone sharp. “Your mind has been corrupted by the house of Neptune. You're in no position to become king.”“I don’t care!” Curtis bellowed. “I refuse to accept this! You may have chosen Benjamin, but I have half the kingdom’s military backing me! If you think I’m going to sit back and let some outsider take wh
family reunion
"I knew it," Moses whispered under his breath. "You're cut out to be a King." Curtis’s eyes threatened to fall from their sockets as he gaped at Benjamin. His mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. “Who the hell are you?” Curtis demanded, pointing his fingers at Benjamin in rage. Moses stepped forward, placing a steady hand on Benjamin's back. His voice carried over the stunned crowd, loud and clear. “This is my son, Benjamin, and the rightful heir to the throne of the United Kingdom of Niklauria.” Silence descended in the hallway. Curtis’s face instantly turned crimson as his shock gave way to anger. “What the hell are you talking about?” Curtis roared, pointing an accusing finger at Moses. “I am the rightful heir to the throne! This—this is absurd!” Moses exchanged glances with Benjamin. Then, Benjamin then turned to face Curtis. “We’re twin brothers, Curtis. Fraternal twins,” Benjamin said. Curtis’s eyebrows deepened into a frown. “That’s a lie! I am
Chosen
The next day, Curtis entered the grand hall of the Grand Sovereign Museum, where the legendary Crown of Domination was displayed. A red velvet carpet led directly to the centerpiece of the room: a glass pedestal casing that held the crown. Curtis strode confidently toward the display, his noble companion following closely behind. Several other museum visitors stopped to gawk as Curtis’s guards cleared the path for him. The museum curator, a graybeard man in a tailored suit, stepped forward and gave a polite bow.“Your Highness,” the curator began, gesturing toward the crown, “I've been expecting you. I learned you're here for the crown of domination. Would you like me to give you a brief record of the—”Curtis raised a hand, cutting the man off impatiently. “I don’t need the history lesson. I already know its legacy. Just tell me the terms.”The curator cleared his throat. “As you wish, Your Highness. For a fee of $10 million, you are permitted one attempt to wear the crown. But b
