During the following two days Bryan felt a lot more rexed with the freedom he's getting after his dies gave birth to many copies of himself in the form of babies, now he could go wherever he wants without having to worry about any of his women being stranded outside the grassnd... Especially when Barbie and Dolly attempted to have their sister Stacy bring them inside with her.

  They discovered that any of the mothers couldn't use a different baby other than their own child to bring them inside but they could take one of their sisters inside if the right match of mother and son were the one doing it.

  Dolly whooped from joy and asked Jennifer to go through the portal with her baby boy and bring Barbie from outside.

  Now everyone know that getting inside doesn't necessary have to be through their man since the mothers could use their special children to help them do just that.

  There's a bit of restriction on the number but all of them were positively hoping for this restriction to loosen up in the future when these boys grow up.

  When it was time for them to head to the graduation ceremony the whole building was busy and a fleet of luxurious cars was waiting outside in the parking space.

  The dies were getting dolled up and readying themselves inside the grassnd, most of them were putting the st touches of makeup or having their sisters help them get in their dress.

  The doze of beauty and charm was so breathtaking that Bryan didn't want them to go outside because he'd never want others to get to see this scene like himself, he wanted this to be his own private memory but they just scoffed at him then pushed him aside to take the portal.

  The mothers had their babies in cute clothes and carried them in their arms, each and every one of them had at least one of their sisters accompanying them while some had two.

  Clearly their intentions are to use the transportation service of these baby boys whenever they need it and hence why the close proximity to Linnet and the rest of the mothers.

  Of course the sight of so many babies carried on the arms of more than forty of Bryan's dies caused so many eyebrows to rise high and so many more question marks but they couldn't find a reasonable answer at all which confused the hell out of the bodyguards and drivers.

  Bryan just got in the backseat of Linnet's Phantom and sat in-between his first dy and Nicole who'd always kept her entertained and took care of almost all of Linnet's needs during the long months of her pregnancy which is why she was the one chosen by his first dy to be on the receiving end of their son's transportation service to the grassnd whenever Nicole wants since Linnet wants to show her appreciation to this sister who did everything for her without Linnet ever asking for it to begin with.

  He was wearing a fancy new suit designed by Mr. Smith who sent one of his representatives to take Bryan's new measurements since his body changed and the old ones don't even fit him anymore, but his attention was on the screen of the device he's holding and listening through the earpiece to the debate between Governor Tiana and Chairman Richie which is currently taking pce in the campus of his university.

  Sofia was also in her Limousine with two of her sisters which were taking care of her baby boy while she listened to the ongoing debate, once it ended and the two competing for the presidential seat shook hands and stood there to wave to the cpping crowd of new graduates and fresh applicants to this university... This beauty smiled wickedly while staring at the face of the man on the screen who had such a wide smile that sickened her to her core.

  Simply because she received a threat from his circle to push her and many of her friends to buy in and get themselves a ticket to get in their ship which would set sail into the "Horizon" of success itself and reach the ultimate form of power, Sofia would've lowered her head and did as was told because she doesn't want the business she created to be affected since that's the inheritance she's going to leave her four daughters someday but... Once Bryan took her into his arms and showed her the path to true happiness and also success while making her dream of a united family plus a healthy and cute baby boy on top of all that she was all-in on him.

  Now she not only has a son of her own but also a loving man who's more than capable of taking care of and protecting her growing family and his pns proved to be the correct pns every step of the way so far which is why Sofia is no longer afraid of that man and whatever he might try and do to her business in the future because she just trusts her man so much.

  With a tap of her finger she opened the stock exchange app and dispyed the Horizon Group's current chart and market price while making a call to Charles and Derek who immediately answered as if they were expecting the call.

  "Make your calls and tell everyone that I have something very important I need to tell them, let's keep tight lips for now since a mole might be hiding in our circle." Sofia said while providing all the security measures to the app so that she'd be able to make her exit as fast as possible in case a rat is indeed hiding between her friends and pnning to stab them in the back, if that's the case then she'd make her exit immediately while having the rest save themselves but Charles and Derek which are the two trustworthy friends would be safe from this mess since they're aware that this is the right time to make money and get the hell away from the falling building.

  Indeed the two men were done providing the security measures before contacting the rest of the group and having them in a group call with Sofia who said : "I'll only say this once so listen closely because we're not going to take any nonsense from anyone and whoever tries to waste my time is going to be seen as a traitor even if they aren't so... Grab your phones and open the stopwatch then wait for my mark... You have five seconds... Say clear if you're ready and shut the fuck up if you're not and hurry the fuck up and open a stopwatch!" After saying that she waited for five seconds before adding : "Who's ready to make money?" Sofia asked before continuing : "Say clear if you do."

  "Clear." Charles answered and he sounded excited because by helping Bryan find the right contractors he managed to repay a lot of old favors and help a lot of his old friends who were almost at their wits end after the economy took a hit but the work they got to receive in Bryan's nd was the straw they needed at that time, now he gets treated with all the respect and whenever Charles is spotted by these people even from a mile away they'd run to him and offer their thanks and gratitude or directly pay his dealership a visit but the most shameless of them all would heat to his manor while being loaded with gifts... They'd have their wives try to carry the favor of his wife who didn't seem like she's annoyed with the attention but welcomed it instead.

  "Clear." Derek followed in close second and was feeling ecstatic because his business was already recovering quickly thanks to all the shipments his company is making for Bryan's site and all his competitors are left in the dust since they just learned about him retiring his old ships recently and barely started to follow his example but even if they do and cut their losses short they'd never be able to find a client like Bryan who'd pay generously for his service under one condition... Efficiency first and speed in close second.

  As for quality that's none of his business since Derek is just an in-between person who's only responsible for picking something from one point and delivering it to the other point.

  "Clear."

  "Clear."

  "....."

  Sofia was of course able to identify them by their voices and once all of them answered without trying to dey for time or stall for any reason she sighed inwardly because a traitor would mean that she'd be forced to form a coalition and bully that person because Bryan would directly bury them if Sofia let her sweet and loving son handle this dirty business.

  "It took me less than a minute to open the stock exchange app and provide my security details but I'm generous and would provide you a full minute to do that, start now!" Sofia said before adding : "Once you're done following this step say clear and wait, traitors give nonsense so remember that any action has severe consequences."

  Charles waited for thirty-five seconds before saying : "Clear."

  Derek smirked before following him by saying : "Clear."

  That caused the others in the group call to anxiously hurry up because they don't want to be left making a loss when they're so desperate for a win when they've been struggling almost this whole month since the economy got battered.

  "Clear."

  "Clear."

  "Clear."

  "....."

  "Get out on my mark," Sofia was so excited because on the screen she was watching Chairman Richie during an interview with some student on the screen of her device, "Three, two, one, go!" Then she sold her shares in the Horizon Group with Charles, Derek, and hopefully all of the people in her group followed her instructions because this time she watched the next candles on the chart dip slightly before doing a true nosedive without any recovery in sight so she continued : "To those who got rich I say congratutions, in case there's a traitor in our midst I say... My deepest condolences but you should've listened to my advice.

  "However, I don't care if this secret gets out so... You're welcome to go wag your tail to Richie or rat on us.

  "This is a fight I'm willing to accept on my own and whoever takes my side is always going to eat sweets, this mommy knows how to cook the best cake... You guys know that right?" Sofia teased the cheek of her son while saying that.

  Charles ughed while watching the numbers on his bank account soar higher and higher until he was finally ranked with his first billion of liquid funds at st!

  He already knows that if he liquified his assets then he'd be one for sure but that would be putting the cart before the horse and by all means a very stupid thing to do, now he keeps his assets as they're while having a billion-plus as an extra in the bank is enough reason to be delighted so much that he wouldn't mind taking his wife out to do everything that pleases her and annoys him without losing the grin on his face which is why he opened his mouth to say : "I'll be your Rock, make me a shield or a vanguard if that's what you want me to be Sofia."

  Derek gritted his teeth because he was also so preoccupied by the bance in his bank which relieved his very soul which have been strained for the past month because the loss he incurred because of the hit to the economy was looking grim and even with the work he's doing to Bryan it wasn't enough for him to be assured that he's no longer in the muddy waters, but now everything is different almost completely since his current earnings have put him back on the same spot he was in before the economy crashed so that doesn't mean he's back to square one or anything like that.

  It means that he'd be able to hog more business opportunities for himself in the future and kick competition off his way or directly step all-over them just to reach the so-called proverbial "Cake" and eat the lion's share until he's stuffed before leaving his competition fight over the crumbs which he'd never lower himself to pick so he opened his mouth to say : "I'll be your Horse and carry you to meet the enemy in the center of the battlefield, you just use the rein to steer me Sofia."

  "I'll be damned if I don't be your sacrificial Pawn."

  "I'm your Bishop, since I don't dare be the useless King to such a beautiful Queen."

  "Then I'm a Knight, it'd be nice for this mature and lovely Queen to have a fellow female as he Champion."

  "Then don't mind me taking the useless position of a King... I'll work hard to please this Queen."

  *Snort*

  Sofia was ignoring these people and smirking because her huge investment just earned her a few billions but her eyes never left the screen and watched Chairman Richie frown when one of his people panicked then unhesitatingly interrupted the interview with a very nervous smile on his face before dragging the multibillionaire to the side and showed him something behind the security detail but the cameras were directed towards the president candidate's face not whatever was on the device which they'd never be able to see... Indeed the Chairman's face paled briefly before he took a deep breath and tried to cover it behind a face smile and a pat on his follower's shoulder as if congratuting him on something well done.

  Sofia shook her head because she knows from Bryan that to recover from his exit this Richie must've pumped his own funds to hide the shaky foundations his Horizon Group is having while using the opportunity to increase his influence since there's indeed an opposing faction which is growing in strength among his members of the board.

  But even if he's a multibillionaire... There's still a limit to the amount of liquid funds he has at the moment especially with everything that's going in the country which is suffering from an economical crisis and the man himself is too distracted by his dream of grasping the ultimate power and influence on top of the great richness he already have.

  Once she and her circle of friends mischievously shook that tall tree once again... It instantly tilted when the lose soil couldn't keep it firmly in pce.

  Since Richie is no longer able to do anything to stop the fall he'd take the next action which is calling others to do it with and for him with the promise of repaying the favor once he take the seat in the near future, especially when he's been doing something all politicians do... Lie enough to the public until you yourself start believing in the lies you kept weaving and the fake rumors you kept spreading!

  "I already have a King so... No thank you." Sofia said then ended the call and Charles shrugged before hanging up as well while thinking to himself : 'I don't care if he's into cougars and grannies... That fellow is making me rich and happy so I'd love for you to keep him happy Sofia.'

  Derek ended the call and started to make calls to repeat for the millionth-time that all of his contracts are paying them handsomely to make sure that no mistake happens and all the precautionary measures are taken in case a freak accident do happen during the procurement-phase of everything he's shipping... He also made sure to stress that he's going to sue them according to the strict terms of the contracts between them if his client gets deyed behind schedule because of them and he does have bloody good wyers and insanely good connections so he's not making empty threats here or trying to pick a fight but he's only making sure nothing happens because his own neck is put on the line with much harsher contracts with his clients.

  Of course he was lying but everyone knows about the economical crisis in his country so Derek always mentioned that economy issue and how the government is bck-hearted to allow such terms to be made in business transactions to prevent having people incurring losses in such difficult times, which is why the ones on the other end of the contract with him outside the country would sympathize with him or at least understand his difficulties before promising that they're taking care of supervising the shipments every step in the way because they don't want trouble with him and wouldn't risk having their reputation getting hit since a client dragging them to court is always bad for business... Which is why Derek insisted to set these terms anyway because he's in the same business but in another country with much worse economy!

  Bryan watched the chart on the screen of the device in his hand suddenly go to shit and sighed inwardly because this means that Sofia didn't make a loss, after all he'd never stomach the idea of having his woman which is the closest he'll ever get to a mother-figure in this life make any loss because of him.

  Of course he could compensate her loss but that'd push his pns back a month or two back maybe more because he'd have to first pn the following actions while building his steps on the events of the future as he consider the different variables which might deviate the results in the end, only then could he say that he's certain of being able to reach the goals he sets without having to struggle much against others to get what he wants however... Even Bryan knows that he wouldn't be able to keep flying below the radar for much longer.

  The reason he's going to the graduation ceremony right now is because he's willing show himself and take his pce on the board, meeting the future dy president is just the cherry on top.
