[Vince’s Main Crib]
Ruth sat on her wheelchair inside the main living room, staring at the TV and barely watching.
She’s only staring absentmindedly.
Uncle Will appeared in the living room too, standing wordless.
He joined the spacing out routine.
The silence continued, till Vince himself came out to them, standing behind Ruth’s chair.
“I won’t try to warm you again, Vincent.” Will said. “From now on, I’m just gonna watch.”
“Exactly what I want, Dad…” Vincent gave him a hard glare. “Watch me.”
“When is it starting?” Ruth asked, voice dry than her face.
“Sooner than you expect.” Vince’s expression sharpened with the lights.

[A Week Later – Wrath Investments Empire]
It’s 7PM, the start of the night, and the start of the takeover event.
Three days ago, the laundering accusation against the Empire was dissolved by the government as mis-investigation, and the reopening was authorized, thanks to Tobias’s stretch of power and influence.
Tonight is the night he’s taking over completely, and the walkway in front of the Empire is a beehive of people right now. The press, reporters, cops, security guards, business influencers, associates and curious people who’re eagar to see what the new CEO really looks like in person.
Cameras are like swarm of clustered bees, set and ready to capture just one person this night.
Tobias St. Graves.
The new CEO.
At exactly 7:10, a long convoy entered the walkway in a long line.
From the tenth car to the second car, the doors burst open at the same time, and Odds disguised as guards came down from them.
Dressed cooperate, including Estelle.
Yalda opened the door of the first car, and Tobias stepped out.
The cameras got to work immediately. Blinking, capturing, making sure they got a clear take.
“Fuck, he’s as handsome as they say.”
“Is he really a twin brother to the former CEO? He’s far more attractive.”
“Holy fûck.”
“Is he married?”
“He can’t be single, not with that expensive face.”
“First time seeing him in person, and I’m gagged, respectfully.”
“Isn’t he also the owner of Black Rose Capitals?”
“How rich is he?”
Odds shielded him from all sides, looking like shooting stars around him as he made his first real public appearance in his existence.
He has never really faced cameras before. Not as a kid, not in Hollow University, not in priesthood.
The camera flashes reminded him of his promise as a kid that he’d be great no matter the ways.
He looked around cockily, seeing the gag on the faces of people.
His lower lip bent in a smirk, knowing his baby girl is watching him on TV right now.
The halo shifted from him suddenly though, cos just as he was about to enter the Empire, another convoy rode into the walkway.
Serpents disguised as guards came out of the last eight cars, opening the first car door for their boss.
Vince’s walking stick came out first, then he stepped out too.
Not alone.
Genevieve, Marley, Dean, and the other Billionaires came out of several parked cars around him. Then the shareholders of the Empire.
“Newsflash, Tobias…” Dean announced. “This Empire was sold to Vince St. Graves the moment you went to seminary. Uncle Will sold it in your name, so…those documents you hold to it? They’re ineffective.”
Tobias’s steps halted, and he looked back over his shoulder, eyes glinting with something darker than inferno.
“What’s up, Tobias motherfucker St. Graves.” Vince’s voice boomed when their eyes met, locking.
Blue clashed green.
