Under The Oak Tree Characters

Two years ago, the trillion dollar king of the Sterling Financial Empire vanished after a brutal assassination attempt on a mountain road, left to die by his unfaithful wife and treacherous family. He woke up with zero memories in the muddy gutters of the city slums, taken in by a kindly diner owner and his beautiful daughter Clara, who named him Marcus. For twenty four months, he lived as a quiet kitchen beggar, chopping onions and washing dirty plates. But when a ruthless loan shark and a corrupt young master slide into the slums to destroy his new home and force Clara into a dark fate, a brutal pipe strike to his head shatters the mental wall. The amnesiac beggar is dead. Christian Sterling has awakened. Armed with a single text message that can freeze entire national banking sectors in two minutes, and backed by a fiercely loyal elite security shadow team, the ultimate master begins his terrifying cold blooded comeback. They thought he was a bug under their shoes, but they are about to learn the true price of crossing a hidden god.
