2026-02-15 07:40:01Chris kneeled in front of the Godfather, praying earnestly that he hadn’t crossed the most powerful man in the city.
“Look at me, son.” the don’s powerful voice called out to Chris.
Chris gently looked up. Immediately, his eyes glowed red as well as the Godfather’s.
“Your eyes… they’re red like mine.” Chris said with a puzzled look on his face.
Don chuckled, “Of course, my son. You are my grandson.”
Chris violently shook his head, “No… no way. I’m an orphan.”
“Not anymore.” The Don said in a low commanding tone.
As he spoke, he sat on his chair like a king.
Chris was confused.
All his life, he was called a nobody. A person without relations or family.
He even got used to being alone all his life till he met Charlotte.
How could he be the Godfather’s grandson?
It just doesn’t make sense.
“Wait…. But…” he said as he tried to approach the Godfather.
Instantly, the bodyguards stopped him from going further.
The Don raised his hand authoritatively, “Let him go.”
The men let him go and bowed to the Don.
“Chris, I know you have questions but now is not the time.” the Don said calmly.
“Why not?” Chris demanded.
Don Mikaelson sighed, “I’m getting old and I’m going to need an heir. And as my grandson, I can think of no better person than you to inherit my throne.”
He cleared his throat and continued, “So Chris Greene, would you like to take your place as my underboss and succeed me as the next Godfather?”
Chris stared at him, stunned. He? The next Godfather? How could destiny turn so sharply?
“You think I have what it takes? I’m just a nobody.” Chris said in a beat.
The Don chuckled. Then said, “Not yet. If you want to inherit the throne, you must first survive ten trials. Only then will you be fit to lead the Mikaelson syndicate.”
Don looked at him intently, “Or you could take a one time offer of $1 billion.”
Chris’s eyes widened.
“Walk away. Live your life in bliss. But you can never be part of this life again.” The Don finally said.
He clapped his hands and immediately, Lynda brought in the ring and the debit card.
He was to choose one of them.
Chris was in a dilemma
“A billion dollars or ten trials to become the head of the Mikaelson syndicate.” Chris said to himself.
“Have you come to a decision, my boy?” the Don asked in a low commanding tone.
“Yes, sir.” Chris said as he shook his head.
He picked up the debit card and smirked, “A billion dollars? It’s pretty decent compensation for abandoning me as a child.”
Don tightened his wrists. “Is he really picking the card?” he said to himself.
“But I want more.” Chris continued.
He picked up the ring, “I want to be your underboss or more precisely, the new Godfather.”
The Don laughed, “My boy. Your ambition is even greater than I imagined. I like it.”
Chris put the ring on his finger and smiled.
“That is called the eye of power. It’s the only one of its kind. Wear it, and you’ll be treated as a VIP at every Mikaelson syndicate establishment.” Lynda explained.
Chris nodded his head.
He was ready to do whatever it would take him.
He faced the Godfather, “So what’s next?”
The Don laughed again. Chris was being passionate and he loved it.
“If you want to be initiated, you must first face the ten trials. They’ll be dangerous and I won’t be there to help you but with each one you pass, you’ll gain money, power, women and anything your heart desires.” Don said passionately.
“So, what’s first?” Chris asked, standing strong.
“Lynda will fill you in.” Don said as he majestically stood up.
“But first, I need you to come to me. I want to show you something.” He said as he gestured with his hand to Chris.
Chris stepped closer carefully.
As soon as he got closer to the Godfather, he grabbed him by his shoulder and said, “Look into my eyes.”
Chris looked and immediately their eyes locked, it glowed red again but this time, the Don passed down his supernatural power to Chris
Chris groaned loudly, “Ha! What did you do to me?”
“Our eyes are the eyes of the Rom and I have awakened them in you with my blessing. Use them well.” He said with a powerful tone as he laughed softly.
The Godfather walked out as his bodyguards followed him.
Lynda called out to Chris, “Shall we begin?”
Chris smiled at her, “Yes, please.
They left the mansion together in a Mercedes Benz.
As Lynda drove, she explained his first task to him.
“Your first task is very simple, Mr. Greene.” She began.
“The Fin family is hosting a charity auction at our auction house. And the Godfather wants you there as our VIP.”
Aileen, Lynda’s assistant, was also with them. “Just show up with your signet ring and they should let you through.”
Chris looked at the ring again, “Okay… okay… but what’s the actual test?” he asked.
“The Godfather wants you to win auction item 15 but the money, that part’s on you.” Lynda said with a smile.
“What!?” Chris exclaimed. “Come on. I’m dead broke.”
“Exactly. That’s the whole point.” Lynda said as she gave him an assuring smile.
Panic rose inside Chris.
Where would the money for the auction item come from?

After the call, he walked up to Chris, “Sir, I have informed him. Tomorrow, a date for a meeting with the directors would be set.”Chris nodded his head, “Good. I don’t want us to waste time. Set the meeting as soon as you can. Let us get rid of the weeds from the root and save this dying company”“Yes, sir.” Adrian said as he slightly bowed and walked out to make a call to Silas again.Chris stretched slightly, his eyes a little bit dim. “Let’s go back to the mansion. We will continue from where we stopped tomorrow.”Adrian finally sighed in relief, “Yes, sir. I will get the car ready.”Few minutes after, Chris and Adrian walked out of Mikaelson Global like they hadn’t just turned the whole city upside down in few hours.Back at Thorne’s enterprise. Michael still tried all he could but when he saw that all hopes was lost, he became erratic.He turned to the engineers, “You all are dead!”Then he turned to Marcus, “Take them all to the dungeon.”Melinda and the others screamed, “Sir..

As the night wore on, the predictive threads of the market began to reveal themselves with startling clarity. Chris could see the hidden partnerships, the unreported transfers, the secret accounts. Every loophole the Thorne family had relied on for decades became transparent, exposed to his vision.Adrian’s voice came again, quieter this time. “Sir… they’re trying to offload more personal shares. Some are moving assets offshore. Others are liquidating private holdings.”Chris nodded slowly. “Allow them to. Let them believe they are buying time. Every action feeds the model. Every reaction strengthens our prediction. By the time they realize what has happened, they will have already handed over their empire.”Adrian’s fingers hovered over a keyboard. “Sir… with this much insight… with this much control… we could dominate the entire city’s market. Not just the Thorne Group.”Chris’s eyes flicked toward him, glowing with an intense blue light. “Yes. And that is exactly what we will do. B

“Keep buying,” he said finally, his voice steady but commanding. “Do not let the price fall below the floor. We will stabilize.”A younger engineer shook his head slightly. “Sir, the liquidity is… insufficient. They are taking every opportunity. We cannot match their pace.”Michael’s gaze hardened. “Then we do what we must. Offer personal holdings. Private shares. Whatever is needed to prevent the banks from seizing control.”The words carried weight. It was a move that the engineers didn’t want to consider. Selling personal shares meant handing over parts of the family’s own empire to an unknown buyer. But survival demanded sacrifice.Meanwhile, Chris remained calm in his office, watching the flow. The system had anticipated every reaction.Every defensive measure by the Thorne Group triggered calculated counter-actions. BODAS was not just trading, it was dismantling the family’s grip piece by piece, turning their desperation into opportunity.Adrian’s voice broke the quiet. “Sir… th

Immediately, the engineers tapped on their keyboards violently searching for answers and solutions.The answer came, though no one wanted to say it.Several minutes passed and still there was no improvement.Melinda thought of a solution and gently raised her hand.Michael looked at her, “Yes? Ms. Melinda?”Melinda cautiously moved forward, “Sir, with the look of things, the stocks keep dropping. I would suggest that we release shares.”The room went quiet. That was not a small decision.That was not something Michael Thorne would do lightly.Michael’s expression did not change. “How much?”Melinda swallowed. “Enough to maintain liquidity.”Michael’s eyes remained on her “And if we do not?”The answer was immediate. “The banks will move.”That meant seizure. Control over the Thorne’s enterprises and several losses.Michael exhaled slowly.Then he made the decision. “Prepare the sell orders.”The room did not react immediately. Engineers were sceptical at first. They were about to start

Adrian had stopped trying to keep up with everything at once. Instead, he focused on the areas Chris pointed to, trusting that the system itself was handling the rest.Chris remained seated this time, his attention steady, his posture relaxed in a way that made the situation even more unsettling.“Bring up Thorne Group’s primary holdings,” he said.Adrian did not ask questions. “Yes, sir.”The screen shifted.A cluster of major companies appeared, each one tied directly to Silas Thorne’s core operations. These were not secondary partners or smaller suppliers. These were the pillars of his influence.Adrian studied the numbers carefully. “They are already taking losses,” he said.Chris glanced at the screen. “How much?”“Initial drop is around fifteen percent across their flagship companies,” Adrian replied. “But it is accelerating.”Chris nodded once.“They are trying to contain it.”“Yes, sir,” Adrian said. “They are injecting capital, attempting to stabilize prices.”Chris leaned ba

Back in the office, Adrian was still watching the feeds closely making all their efforts futile.“They cannot identify the source. No matter how hard they tried to.” he said confidently.Chris’s expression remained unchanged. “They are not meant to.”Adrian adjusted one of the displays, bringing up a live overview of the market.A pattern was forming. At first, it looked chaotic.But the longer he watched, the clearer it became.“This is not random,” Adrian said quietly.Chris glanced at him. “No,” he said. “It is controlled.”Adrian leaned closer to the screen.“It is moving like… like something is guiding it.”Chris allowed a faint smile. “Something is.”The system continued its work. BODAS did not hesitate in any way. It did not slow down. It adjusted in real time, countering every attempt to resist its influence.“Sir,” Adrian said, “some of the larger institutions are pulling out entirely.”Chris nodded. “They are trying to survive.”Adrian looked at him. “Will they?”Chris’s answ
