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 set to work the next day. He met with the crystal tower owners and sat them down to discuss buying the skyscraper. “Look, I'll go straight to the point,” Moses said. “You guys have been holding onto this dump for years. I don't understand why you don't want to sell it?”One owner, Jon Stewart, folded his hands. “The crystal tower is a legacy which we're going to leave for our children and grandchildren.”Moses narrowed his eyes. “Legacy? What legacy? You think your kids and grandchildren would want to own a building that's been abandoned for years?”“We might not have the financial capability to completing it, but our kids definitely will,” Nora Bridge, the second owner, chimed in. Moses sighed. “Look, let's be reasonable about this for a second. You guys are broke and so are your children. Even after you die, it would cost the earth to complete this skyscraper. Your kids don't have the same passion and vision as you do. Eventually, they're going to sell off the crystal tower
"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
