The trap
Mark was stunned speechless when Veronica declined the offer. For a full two seconds, he stared at her like she had grown horns.Then he scoffed loudly.“You two can’t be serious,” he said, throwing his pen down. “You’re rejecting an offer this good because of your greed? This is the only life raft you’re getting.”Veronica placed the contract down slowly. “We’re rejecting your offer because it’s a scam,” she said, her tone sharp and cold. “Have you forgotten what I do? I’ve structured and managed deals ten times more complex than this for the last decade."She leaned forward, her eyes locked on him. "Even after my husband's early retirement, I still managed Sullivan Group with my sister-in-law. We are not amateurs, Mark. We can smell a rigged deal from a continent away. We’re not taking your offer. It’s not happening.”Mark’s irritation snapped like a whip.He leaned forward, both hands planted on the table. “Aren’t you two desperate? Don’t pretend. I know you’re as broke as a churc
The Equalizers
Mark Newton didn’t speak at first. He just stared at Barry and at Veronica as if weighing whether to deny it again.Then slowly, a grin crawled across his face. A low chuckle slipped out.“Well,” he said, spreading his hands, “I’ve gotta hand it to you two. You got me.” He leaned back with an amused sigh.“Yes. I’m their top sponsor. So what?”Veronica’s expression didn’t change one bit. Barry’s jaw set like concrete.“You still haven’t answered my earlier question," he said, his eyes narrowed. “Why did you betray me?”Mark relaxed fully now, draping one arm over the back of his chair like he owned the room.“Before I answer that,” he said casually, “let me ask you something instead. Do you know what the Equalizers stand for? Their real goals and motivations?”Veronica responded immediately with a clipped tone. “They’re a secret society who claim their ideology is about ‘restoring balance to the world.’ And lately, they seem very happy that Sullivan Group went bankrupt.”Mark let out
Veronica's power
Mark felt the room tightening around him like a noose on his neck. He had been caught red-handed. “How did you know about the hour glass of destiny?” he repeated in a croaked voice. Barry’s gamble had paid off far more than he had hoped. Mark’s reaction confirms everything about his nightmare.The Equalizers were in possession of the Hourglass of Destiny.Barry’s gaze sharpened. “Do not think for once that you can hide anything from me. There is nothing in this world I cannot uncover.”Mark’s throat bobbed. His mind spun violently.How? How did Barry know? The Hourglass was supposed to be a myth to outsiders. Mark's heart pounded painfully against his ribs. Only the Equalizers knew about the hour glass of destiny's existence. Barry was not supposed to have caught a whisper of it.“If you knew about the Hourglass,” Mark stammered, grasping for logic, “then why host this meeting? Why did you try to sell Sullivan Group?”It was Veronica who answered. “We never intended to sell anyth
The equalizers
The Equalizers had not held an emergency meeting in years since its founding.Until today.Tonight, they were all gathered in an exclusive penthouse suite. Every last one of them.“I'm finished,” a European banker snarled, his face flushed. “My personal accounts are frozen. My offshore funds have vanished. Even my gold reserves were SEIZED!”“It's the same for me,” an oil mogul barked. “My creditors stormed my home! They’re demanding repayment by midnight! How does a man go from billionaire to beggar in a single day?!”“My company—” another whispered hollowly. “Someone bought it out from under me. IN ONE HOUR. Who the hell has that kind of power?!”“My board voted me out,” someone else groaned. “Thirty years, and I was escorted out like a criminal.”The room pulsed with dread.Each man took turns lamenting about their sudden financial crisis. To their surprise, their stories were identical to one another.It was a massacre. And they didn’t know who was behind it.As the uproar rose ag
The keeper
An hour later, the keeper arrived at the penthouse. All heads turned as the door opened and he was ushered inside. He was in his mid-sixties, tall but slightly hunched, with a presence that sent chills in the hearts of men. He wore an old-fashioned black top hat and a worn charcoal suit that looked like it belonged to another century. His silver hair was neatly combed back, his eyes sharp—far too sharp for a man his age.This was no ordinary man. This was a wizard. One of the last of his kind in the modern world.In his right hand, he carried an aluminum containment briefcase which he handled with care. The moment the Keeper entered the penthouse, every member of the Equalizers instinctively rose to their feet.“It's the Keeper,” someone whispered.He didn’t acknowledge them at first. He walked past the table, then he stopped at the center of the room before turning slowly to face them."You summoned me," he said gravely. "Here I am."“What is happening?” the European banker deman
A deal with the Keeper
Every head in the room snapped toward Mark. The shock in the air was so thick it felt solid.“What is he talking about?” the oil mogul demanded, pointing at Barry. “Mark, what the hell is he saying?”Before Mark could even open his mouth, the Keeper stepped forward, his voice cracking like thunder.“He betrayed you,” the Keeper said coldly. “Mark Newton confronted Barry Sullivan. I knew something was wrong the moment I saw him trembling like a frightened animal. Guilt has a stench, and it is all over him.”A chorus of outraged voices erupted."You snake!"“You sold us out?!”"We were in this together!""How could you do this to us?"Mark staggered back, palms raised defensively, his chest heaving. “What was I supposed to do?” he shouted hoarsely. “I was trapped! He already knew about the Hourglass. I had no choice!”“No,” the Keeper snapped, cutting him off sharply. “You were blinded by your greed. While the rest of your comrades waited patiently for the Hourglass of Destiny to take
Peace
The Sullivan mansion was silent when Barry and Sebastian returned.The Sullivan family were still safely on the island leaving only Barry and Sebastian alone in the large mansion.They sat across from each other at the long dining table, two cups of coffee steaming gently between them. The clock on the wall ticked softly, each second loud in the emptiness of the room.Between them, resting on the polished wood like a sleeping beast, lay the Hourglass of Destiny.Barry stared at it for a long time. He took a slow sip of coffee, then set the cup down.“This thing is dangerous, Sebastian,” Barry said finally, his voice low. He didn’t take his eyes off it. “I don’t want it falling into the wrong hands ever again.”Sebastian listened without interrupting.“After we reverse what they've done,” Barry continued, lifting his gaze to meet Sebastian’s, “we'll destroy it.”Sebastian’s expression shifted subtly. He regarded the Hourglass, his mind racing. “I’m not so sure that’s wise,” he said ca
Liberty City
Three nights later, Barry held a secret dinner meeting on the dining table of his mansion.Barry sat at the head of the table with his wife and sister seated on either side beside him.Their guests were six individuals—men and women who quietly controlled the pillars of the global financial system.After the incident with the Hourglass of Destiny, Barry had learned a very important lesson he would never forget.Never underestimate the envy and jealousy of your enemies. No matter how small they are. Barry's enemies came for his family because they couldn’t touch him. All because they were envious of his wealth. That single action set the tone for everything that followed.Presently, Barry's net wort had grown from $900 trillion to $2.5 quadrillion. He had crossed a threshold no individual in recorded history had ever reached.A quadrillionaire.That figure alone made Barry look dangerous—and made everyone else desperate to overthrow him by hurting his family.In that dinner meeting,
The transfered student
By the time Liberty City had become the envy of the world, Barry Sullivan’s twins were no longer little girls.Debby and Daisy were teenagers now.They attended Liberty City Private High School, the most prestigious academic institution in the city—known for producing future leaders, innovators, and heirs to respectable fortunes. Just as they had done when they were kids, Debby and Daisy blended in with the other kids.They brought no chauffeurs to school. Neither did they have any need for bodyguards or demand special treatment.To everyone else, they were just two scholarship students from a comfortable background. Their clothes were tasteful but never flashy. They laughed, complained about homework, and groaned about early classes like everyone else.Never for once did they mention their father in the midst of friends or classmates. They never had to.Instead of commuting from home, the twins lived in the school dormitories. Barry had insisted that they experience life outside a
Expelled
The room went dead silent after Daisy's outburst.The principal froze in shock. He was taken aback by her audacity to go against Eric.“What did you just say?” he asked. “You want a transfer student moved on the very first day of senior year?”Daisy stood straight, her posture as steady as a rock. “Yes, sir. I cannot study in the same class as him. I want him moved to another where he could flex his wealth without bothering any of us.”The principal stared at her as though her hair was on fire.“And why,” he asked sharply, “would you make such a demand, Daisy?”Daisy didn’t waste a second. “Because I don’t like him. This school is supposed to be a place for learning,” she said evenly, her voice carrying across the room. “Not a stage for flexing wealth. And obviously not a showroom for servants or luxury furnitures.”She gestured lightly toward Eric’s custom desk and chair. “We’re here to study, not to be reminded of how rich someone’s father is.”The principal frowned deeply.“I don’
