CHAPTER 1 – The Man Everyone Looked Down On
Kelvin stood at the entrance of Golden Pavilion, the most luxurious restaurant in the city. His worn shirt and scuffed shoes made him look out of place among the well-dressed crowd.
"Are you sure you're allowed in here?" the security guard sneered, arms crossed.
Kelvin clenched his fists. "I'm here for a birthday dinner."
The guard laughed. "This is Golden Pavilion. One meal costs more than your monthly salary."
Before Kelvin could respond, a familiar voice rang out.
"Oh? Isn't this Kelvin?"
He turned to see his ex-girlfriend, arm around a man in a sharp suit. Her lips curled in a mocking smile.
"So this is where you ended up," she said. "Still pretending to belong?"
The man beside her smirked. "Security, throw him out. Poor people ruin appetites."
Gasps and murmurs spread through the restaurant.
Kelvin lowered his head. Humiliation burned inside him, but he didn't speak.
Then his phone buzzed.
A message from an unknown number:
Young Master, we have finally found you.
The family has been waiting for ten years.
His eyes flicked to the message, then back at the crowd.
A slow smile crept across his face. "Throw me out?" he murmured. "Let's see who leaves first."

Wow… can you believe how Kelvin was treated at Golden Pavilion? 😤
This is the moment everything changes for him. Poor today, but don't blink — the city has no idea what's coming.
Who thinks Kelvin will get his first face-slap soon? Comment your guess! 👀
CHAPTER 2 – The Man Who Called Him Young Master
A black sedan stopped outside the restaurant. An elderly man stepped out, followed by two silent bodyguards.
Ignoring everyone else, he walked straight to Kelvin and bowed deeply.
"Young Master," he said respectfully. "I apologize for our late arrival."
The ex-girlfriend's smile faltered. The man in the tailored suit looked uneasy.
"This young man is Kelvin," the elderly man continued. "Sole heir of the Kelvin Consortium."
Kelvin's heart pounded. "Explain," he said calmly.
"Ten years ago," the man said, "you were sent away for your safety. The family has searched ever since. The accounts, authority, and assets have all been prepared. All that remains is your return."
Kelvin glanced at the ex-girlfriend, the man in the suit, and the surrounding guests who had mocked him.
A slow, cold smile spread across his face. "So…" he said. "Who was saying poor people ruin appetites?"
[End of Chapter 2]
Chapter 2 – Author's Thought
Did you see that twist?! 😱 Ten years of waiting, and now Kelvin is the sole heir.
Sometimes the quietest people are the most dangerous…
Who do you think will feel the shock first — the ex-girlfriend, the rivals, or both? 🔥
CHAPTER 3 – One Transfer, One City Shocked
The restaurant manager rushed over, pale and trembling.
"Y-Young Master Kelvin, please forgive our staff's ignorance!"
Kelvin didn't respond. He turned to the butler. "Show me proof."
On the tablet screen: a bank account with more zeros than he could count.
"This is just for daily expenses," the butler said calmly.
"Transfer the restaurant's entire operating cost for the year," Kelvin said.
A tap on the tablet: TRANSFER SUCCESSFUL
Phones rang. Gasps echoed. Everyone stared in disbelief.
The ex-girlfriend stammered. "I… we can talk, right?"
Kelvin smiled coldly. "Talk? You lost that right when you chose money over dignity."
He walked out of the restaurant, leaving chaos in his wake.
The city has noticed you, the butler whispered.
Kelvin's eyes sparkled. "Good. Let them watch."

That transfer… 1,000 zeros? 🤯 Kelvin isn't just back; he's showing the city who's boss.

And trust me — the face-slaps are only getting bigger.
CHAPTER 4 – The Ex Who Regretted Too Late
Three days later, the ex-girlfriend tried to meet him outside a high-end café.
"Kelvin, please, I didn't…" she stammered.
He stopped and turned slowly. No warmth in his eyes.
"I heard about your new position," she continued nervously. "You… you're doing well."
Kelvin raised an eyebrow. "You're impressed?"
She flinched. "I… I made a mistake."
A golden car pulled up behind him. Kelvin smiled faintly. "Do you remember how you treated me at Golden Pavilion?"
She gulped. "Y-Yes…"
Kelvin handed her a check for 50 million naira. "This is your last chance to understand what you lost."
Her eyes widened. She didn't expect kindness — only consequences.
He turned away, stepping into the car.
Face-slaps in public are coming, he thought. Very soon.

CHAPTER 5 – The King Steps Back into the City
Kelvin's car rolled through the city streets like a shadow gliding over a kingdom that had once ignored him. The billboards flashing above screamed headlines:
"Hidden Billionaire Emerges in the City!"
"Ten Years Lost, Now a Tycoon!"
People stopped mid-step on the streets, staring. Former friends who had laughed at him turned pale. Former enemies, men who once mocked his torn clothes and meager meals, suddenly avoided his gaze.
Kelvin leaned back in his seat, calm, yet every inch of him radiated power. This city, which had once laughed at him, would now kneel before his presence — or at least, respect it.
As the driver pulled up to the Kelvin Consortium Headquarters, Kelvin stepped out, his black suit sharp, his shoes polished, and his eyes icy. He walked through the grand glass doors, greeted only by silence. The reception staff froze, whispering to one another, "Is… is that…?"
The boardroom doors opened automatically, and all eyes followed him. He didn't speak yet; he didn't need to. Presence alone commanded the room.
"Kelvin," a senior board member finally stammered. "We… we were not expecting you so soon."
Kelvin smiled faintly, his lips curling into a confident smirk. "You didn't think the heir would stay hidden forever, did you?"
Murmurs ran through the room. He strode to the head of the table, sat down, and leaned back in the leather chair. A golden watch glinted in the sunlight that streamed through the skyscraper windows.
"This city," he said slowly, "has forgotten one thing: power belongs to those who can wield it, not those who are loudest."
He tapped his fingers on the table. "Let's begin."
The meeting was swift. Decisions, investments, and acquisitions were made with a precision that left the board members stunned. Each word Kelvin spoke carried weight, authority, and the promise of unstoppable progress.
When it ended, one of the younger executives whispered to a colleague, "He… he's not just rich. He's dangerous."
Outside the headquarters, the city was already talking. News outlets, social media influencers, and bloggers were scrambling. "Who is this hidden billionaire?" they asked. "Where did he come from? How did he rise so fast?"
Kelvin didn't need to answer. He let the city wonder. Let the whispers multiply. By the time they understood, it would be too late to challenge him.
Later that evening, he visited the streets where he had once begged for change. The restaurant that had thrown him out? Now his. The security guard who had laughed at him? Employed under strict supervision, his salary doubled — but with one simple rule: no disrespect.
And then there was her — the ex-girlfriend who had once mocked him so openly. She saw him walk past her boutique, her eyes widening as she recognized him. Kelvin didn't stop. He didn't look back. Let her imagination do the work.
A notification buzzed on his phone: a new message from the mysterious number that had first contacted him:
The city has noticed you. The time has come.
Kelvin read it, smiled, and pocketed the phone. Yes, the time had come. But this was just the beginning.
Tomorrow, the people who had humiliated him would learn what it meant to stand against a king. The man who had once been poor and powerless was now the master of his fate and the city's fortune.
The skyline glowed in the twilight, reflecting the gold of the setting sun on glass towers. Kelvin walked along the streets with calm confidence, each step a silent warning:
This city had ignored him. It would not make that mistake again.
And if anyone thought they could challenge him… let them try.
A subtle grin touched his lips. He knew the next chapter of his life would be even more dramatic, more powerful, and far more satisfying than the first ten years of hardship.
The city, once blind to him, was about to remember his name — Kelvin, the hidden king who returned.
[End of Chapter 5]
Chapter 5 – Author's Thought
The hidden king has returned! 👑 The city can't ignore Kelvin anymore.
Ten years of silence, and now the entire city is watching… who will be the first to feel his real power?
Comment your predictions! Chapter 6 is going to shake everything — trust me, you won't want to miss it!
