Grey left the apartment without saying another word. He walked down the street in the dark, not knowing where he was going. His phone buzzed in his pocket. It was his boss calling.He almost did not answer. But he did."Grey, where are you?" his boss, Mr. Marcus, asked. "We have a delivery in the warehouse. You need to come right now.""I am on my way," Grey said quietly.He worked the entire night. He carried boxes, drove the truck, and sorted packages. His boss complained about everything he did. When Grey moved slow, Mr. Marcus yelled at him. When Grey worked fast, Mr. Marcus said he was doing it wrong.At six in the morning, Mr. Marcus called Grey to his office."You are fired," Mr. Marcus said without looking at him.Grey felt his heart stop. "Why? I worked hard. I came when you called me.""Because I do not like your face," Mr. Marcus said coldly. "You can leave now. Do not come back."Grey walked out of the warehouse with nothing. No job. No girlfriend. No hope. He had lost eve

Over the next few days, Grey lived in a hotel that Dominic paid for. He could not go back to the apartment he had shared with Nora. He could not go back to his old life. Everything was changing too fast.Dominic taught him about the King family business. He taught him about finance, about power, about how to lead people. He taught him how to speak to important men and women. He taught him how to dress and how to act like a king."Your father was not just a businessman," Dominic said. "He was a leader. He was respected by presidents and kings. People feared him, but they also loved him. You must learn to be like him."Grey studied hard. He read books about business. He watched videos about leadership. He practiced speaking in front of a mirror. He was preparing himself for the life that was waiting for him.On the third day, Dominic took Grey to a private bank. The bank was hidden underground. Only very important people could enter.The manager of the bank was an old woman named Patric

The press conference was held in the largest hotel in the city. Hundreds of reporters came. News cameras from all over the world pointed at the stage. Millions of people watched on television and on their phones.Dominic stood beside Grey as he walked to the microphone. Grey wore an expensive black suit. His hair was perfectly styled. He looked like a king."My name is Hercules King," Grey said into the microphone. His voice was calm and strong. "Eighteen years ago, my father was murdered. His name was Alexander King. He was a good man and a great leader."The crowd went silent. No one had expected this announcement."My father built the King Corporation from nothing," Hercules continued. "He created jobs for millions of people. He was respected all over the world. But there were people who wanted his power and his money. So they killed him."Cameras flashed like lightning."After my father's death, my uncle Marcus King took control of the King Corporation," Hercules said. "He told th

Victor started investigating who was tracking Hercules. Within a week, he had discovered something very important.There was a criminal organization operating in the city. It was run by a man named Dante. Dante controlled everything that was illegal. He controlled the drugs, the gambling, the illegal weapons, and the money laundering.But Dante was not just a criminal. He was also very smart. He had connections with corrupt police officers and government officials. He could do anything he wanted and never get caught."Dante has been trying to reach you," Victor explained. "He wants to do business with you.""What kind of business?" Hercules asked."The illegal kind," Victor said. "Your uncle Marcus was working with Dante. They had a partnership. Marcus would launder Dante's illegal money through the King Corporation. In return, Dante would protect Marcus's business interests."Hercules felt anger rise inside him. His uncle had been involved in crime. The King Corporation had been used

Three months after Dante was sent to prison, Hercules's life seemed perfect on the surface. The King Corporation was growing stronger every day. He had cleaned out all the corruption. He had fired all the bad managers. He had rehired good people who believed in his vision.Hercules was also becoming famous. Magazines called him "The King." Television shows wanted to interview him. Young people idolized him. He had become the most talked-about person in the world.But Dominic warned him that there was danger ahead."Your success is making people nervous," Dominic said. "There are powerful people who do not want you to become more powerful. There are people in government, in business, and in the criminal world who see you as a threat."Hercules did not worry about this. He felt strong. He felt like he could handle anything.But he was wrong.One day, Hercules received a visitor at the King Corporation headquarters. The visitor was a woman. She was beautiful and dangerous.
