Chapter 82 - The Homeless Trillionaire

Season 3 chapter 11

The Health Conscious Hypocrite

The heavy, incredibly tense atmosphere of the Kavilson Steel executive suite was

suddenly interrupted by a soft, hesitant knock on the massive double doors.

The doors slowly pushed open, and a young, highly nervous corporate attendant

stepped into the room, pushing a silver beverage cart. He was wearing a pristine

white uniform, sweating profusely under the intense glares of the two billionaires.

"Excuse me, sirs," the attendant squeaked, stopping the cart near Kniya's

mahogany desk. "Would you like to have some premium roasted coffee to help

with the research?"

He looked directly at Kniya, holding a highly expensive ceramic mug.

"Ah, no," Kniya waved a dismissive hand. "The coffee is for Malesh. I only drink

the cold drink. Pour me a massive glass of the blue carbonated cold drink. It is my

absolute favorite."

Malesh, who was still fuming over their lack of federal intelligence, slowly lowered

his hands and stared at Kniya. His deadpan face twisted into a mask of pure,

judgmental disbelief.

"Oh, really?" Malesh said, his voice dripping with cold sarcasm. "I am hearing

about this thing from the exact same guy who always lectures me about his

physical routine. The guy who claims he is fucking health conscious. And now you

are fucking drinking a bright blue, artificially flavored cold drink just to be 'more

health conscious'?"

"You won't understand the complex health benefits of a premium cold drink,"

Kniya defended arrogantly, pointing a finger at Malesh. "It has carbonation! It

cleans the throat! It has essential sugars to power the executive brain! Just take

your bitter, muddy coffee and shut up."

"It is literally carbonated battery acid," Malesh countered bluntly. "It rots your

internal organs. You are poisoning your own digestive tract while pretending to be

an elite athlete."

"It's an energy supplement!" Kniya yelled back.

The Bribed Beverage Incident

The terrified attendant stood frozen between them, his hands shaking as he held

the silver tray.

"Sirs?" the attendant interrupted quietly, his voice cracking. "Can I please just

provide you with the coffee or the cold drink now?"

"Yeah, whatever," Kniya sighed, leaning back in his luxurious chair and crossing

his arms. "Just give me the cold drink and give him the hot coffee."

Kniya immediately locked eyes with the attendant and gave a very small, highly

deliberate, completely evil wink.

The attendant's posture instantly changed. The nervous, shaking coffee boy

vanished, replaced by the swift, calculated movements of a highly paid corporate

assassin. He spun around, grabbed the steaming hot cup of black coffee, and

forcefully violently launched the entire cup of boiling liquid directly onto Malesh's

chest.

SPLASH.

The scorching hot coffee completely soaked Malesh's crisp white shirt and

absolutely drenched his beloved, incredibly expensive dragon-themed silk tie.

For exactly one second, there was dead silence in the office.

Then, Malesh completely lost his mind.

"What the fuck?!" Malesh roared, jumping off the leather sofa as the boiling liquid

burned his chest. "What the fuck just happened in the blink of an eye?!"

Kniya was already clutching his stomach, laughing so hard he was physically

choking on his own breath. He had secretly bribed the attendant a hundred

thousand credits just twenty minutes ago to execute this exact maneuver.

"What the fuck did you do to me?!" Malesh screamed at the attendant, completely

dropping his robotic demeanor. He ripped a heavy, black-steel revolver out of his

shoulder holster. "You literally ruined my shirt, you fucking idiot!"

The attendant shrieked, instantly turning and sprinting toward the double doors.

Malesh didn't even aim at him. He was so blinded by rage that he simply pointed

his revolver at the massive, floor-to-ceiling glass window of the skyscraper and

pulled the trigger.

BLAM!

The reinforced glass shattered into a million pieces, raining down onto the streets

of Seistain below.

"Just move out of the fucking office, you idiot, or I will definitely kill you, you

bastard!" Malesh screamed at the fleeing attendant. "You absolute motherfucker!

Who the fuck told you to do that, you idiot?!"

"It was me!" Kniya cackled, pounding his fist on the desk. "I paid him! It was a

tactical strike on your wardrobe!"

"I am going to strangle you!" Malesh hissed, desperately trying to wipe the brown

stains off his silk tie. "The fucking idiot completely destroyed my clothes and my

precious dragon-themed tie! Fucking idiot!"

The Homeless Trillionaire

Malesh stood in the middle of the room, dripping with hot coffee, panting heavily.

His chest was burning, his clothes were ruined, and his stress levels were

completely off the charts.

"Now I need to drink the actual coffee," Malesh growled, his eye twitching

furiously. "I need to do something about this. My caffeine levels are dropping."

"Well, you should basically go to the executive restroom and clean your clothes

before basically drinking the coffee," Kniya suggested, wiping a tear of laughter

from his eye. "You look like a disaster."

"It's not required," Malesh rejected bluntly, entirely abandoning his dignity. "I am

not that much efficient in that. I need caffeine immediately."

Malesh turned and marched directly toward the massive, multi-million credit, high-

tech espresso machine sitting in the corner of the executive suite.

Instead of grabbing a ceramic mug, Malesh leaned over the machine. He tilted his

head completely sideways, unhinged his jaw slightly, and placed his mouth

directly under the boiling hot dispensing tap.

He slammed his hand on the 'Double Espresso' button.

HSSSSS. SHHHHH-GLUG-GLUG-GLUG.

The machine aggressively pumped boiling hot, highly concentrated liquid caffeine

directly into Malesh's mouth. He didn't even flinch. He just slurped it loudly,

swallowing the burning liquid like a feral animal drinking from a swamp.

SLUUURP. AHHHH.

Kniya stopped laughing. His face twisted into absolute, unfiltered disgust.

"What the actual fuck are you doing?!" Kniya yelled, completely horrified by the

sight of his best friend and co-founder deep-throating a coffee machine. "You

look disgusting!"

Malesh hit the button again. GLUG-GLUG-GLUG. More coffee poured directly into

his mouth, spilling slightly down his chin and mixing with the stains already on his

shirt.

"Guards!" Kniya screamed, hitting the panic button under his desk. "Guards, come

up here right fucking now!"

The Orphan Snipers

Within seconds, the shattered double doors were kicked wide open. Three heavily

armored Kavilson Steel elite guards marched into the room, leveling their assault

rifles.

"Just get this guy out of here!" Kniya ordered, pointing a disgusted finger at

Malesh, who was still leaning against the espresso machine, wiping his mouth with

his sleeve. "Make this fucking homeless trillionaire out of my fucking office right

now!"

The guards hesitated, looking at Malesh, who legally owned exactly fifty percent

of everything in the room.

"Do not even try to bribe them, Malesh!" Kniya boasted proudly. "These guards

are completely pure! I specifically vetted them! They have not taken a single bribe

from anyone else in their entire careers, so they absolutely won't follow your

corrupt orders, you fucking idiot!"

Malesh calmly turned around. He looked at the three highly trained, unbribable

guards. He didn't reach for his wallet. He just pulled out his encrypted phone.

"Then I will simply kill them with my snipers," Malesh stated with terrifying,

deadpan logic. "My snipers are currently present in any of the surrounding

buildings in the Seistain skyline, and they are already pointed directly at these

guys."

Right on cue, three distinct, bright red laser dots perfectly materialized on the

center mass of the three elite guards' armored chests.

The guards completely froze, the blood draining from their faces.

"You can't do that!" Kniya yelled, jumping out of his chair. "You don't know about

the specific thing regarding these guards! I hired them specifically for a reason!

They are all orphans, Malesh! You cannot threaten their families to make them

back down!"

Malesh stared at Kniya, his dark eyes completely devoid of any empathy.

"Yeah, I know perfectly well about this thing," Malesh replied smoothly. "And that

is exactly why my snipers have directly pointed their rifles towards their vital

organs so that they can directly kill them on the spot. Since they are orphans,

there is no need to have and involve a fucking family drama in this, you idiot. It is a

completely clean kill with zero bureaucratic liability. No grieving mothers to sue

us."

Kniya stared at him, absolutely speechless at the sheer, cold-blooded efficiency of

the threat.

The Seistain Stalemate

Kniya stared at Malesh. He stared at the three unbribable, highly trained orphans

standing in the middle of the room with sniper lasers dancing on their chests.

The entire situation had completely spiraled out of control. Malesh was currently

covered in scalding hot coffee, unhinged on caffeine, and threatening to execute

corporate security on the spot.

Kniya's trillionaire brain short-circuited. Instead of de-escalating, he made the

worst possible choice. Kniya slowly reached into his own tailored suit jacket,

pulled out a massive, gold-plated hand-cannon, and pointed the heavy barrel

directly at Malesh's head.

Malesh immediately reacted, whipping his black-steel revolver away from the

shattered window and aiming it squarely at the space between Kniya's eyes.

The three orphan guards, trapped in the middle of a literal trillion-credit warzone,

slowly raised their assault rifles and pointed them at Malesh, their hands shaking

violently.

It was a high-stakes, lethal stalemate. Nobody moved. Nobody breathed. The only

sound in the room was the soft hum of the espresso machine and the distant wind

blowing through the shattered window.

"Drop the gun, Malesh," Kniya ordered, his voice surprisingly steady. "I am the

Managing Director of Kavilson Steel. I have the superior firepower."

"And I am the Managing Director of Malesh Energy Limited," Malesh replied,

completely deadpan, keeping his revolver perfectly still. "If you shoot me, my

legally binding death clause activates immediately. The company will permanently

stop delivering oil to Kavilson Steel. Not a single drop will flow to your refineries.

Your entire supply chain will collapse by midnight."

Before Kniya could counter that extremely valid, devastating financial argument,

the massive double doors didn't just open—they were violently kicked completely

off their heavy brass hinges.

BANG!

Salesh stormed into the executive suite, wearing bright pink sunglasses, an

untucked shirt, and holding a thick manila folder. He froze in the doorway, slowly

lowering his sunglasses as he took in the scene.

"What the absolute fuck have you made the fucking office?!" Salesh screamed, his

jaw dropping. "You guys have made the office a literal fucking war ground! Why

are you pointing your guns at each and everyone?! What the fuck is happening

right now here?!"

"Malesh threatened to snipe my orphans!" Kniya yelled, not lowering his gold gun.

"Kniya paid a servant to boil my shirt!" Malesh countered, not lowering his

revolver.

"I literally don't care!" Salesh roared, waving the manila folder in the air. "You told

me you were doing some serious research on the federal military massacre! Is this

your logical research?! Pointing guns at each other over coffee?! Just put your

guns down, you fucking idiots!"

Grudgingly, Kniya lowered his gold-plated eagle. A second later, Malesh holstered

his revolver. The three terrified guards immediately lowered their rifles and

sprinted out of the room before the snipers could change their minds.
