1 Chapter 1: Hudenaleva Prodigy
Hudenaleva Family.
One of the most wealthiest and largest family in the world, with an unimaginable asset that even rival a whole country itself. If the Hudenaleva Clan settle in one country they can probably occupy the whole country only the clan itself, that's how big this family is.
The Fall.
There's a large commotion at the Hudenaleva family main branch.
"Where is he? I want you all to find him right now! If something ever happens to him don't even think of coming back alive!" Yelled a man with chiseled jawline a sharp eyebrow, his pupils color akin to a lapiz lazuli and his slick back neat haircut making him look like a middle aged man around 28 or so, but the truth is he's already 42!
"Y-y-y-yes sir!" With a firm salute they scram immediately after the order.
In the large office the tiles akin to jades stone glistening, the wall decorations with gems and luxurious wood but at the same time not wood but unknown material of metal!
"Where did you go? Why don't you just listen to your father?" Mumbling to himself he sat dazed in his chair this is also the same man who yelled a bunch of order earlier Felarno Desaic Hudelaneva.
"I understand that giving you this burden is too much. But you're the only true successor 'sigh' silly child'.

10:25 PM September 27, 2071
A midst of a dense forest not too far away from the state of Hudelaneva. A young man wearing a large cloak with a hood covering his face.
His face is as pale as a white jade with lapiz lazuli colored eyes, neatly groomed hair with a tall and pointed nose definitely a handsome young man around 18 or 19 years old base on looks alone.
"I'm sorry mom, dad. I'm not filial but living a life of scheming and constantly alert on my own family members, I don't want that. I can accomplish things but not like this.'
The young man continue walking until his silhouette vanished on the dense forest.
...
"He left? Is what are you saying is true?" Asked a man wearing luxurious tuxedo while holding a glass of wine.
"Yes, according to our spies they heard sire yelling at his subordinate to find someone. At the same time the young lord vanished and can't be seen anywhere in the mansion" Said the buff man who looked like butler.
"Interesting, that brat is way too smart and considered the prodigy of the entire clan. The only son and the direct successor of one of the world's wealthiest asset. Investigate this matter but keep things under wrap, getting the ire of that man won't do us any good." Sipping a wine wile looking at the stars outside.
"Yes sir!" The butler left, all that's left in the room is utter silence.
"Zenaisu Desaic Hudelaneva ah my dear cousin. Even when we're a kid you're too good at everything you're too smart. But you never want bloodshed and never ruthless specially when it comes to family. Is this you way of abandoning this wealth? Being good can only lead you this much. Once you're gone for sure I will be the only successor, since you chose this make sure to never come back. As your cousin I know you're smart enough that you won't make waves even outside the family right?" Muttering to himself with a viscous look on his face.
...
"With these enough money I can live for a few years without trouble. I'm sure they're looking for me right now. Even more so the ones who wants to take my life, doing it like this the knives pointing at my mom and dad will momentarily be pointed to me... But this can't isn't a solution at all. They can be ruthless why won't I? I am not naive as they think, I don't like this way of doing things but it doesn't mean I'll let you threaten my family."
"I can't fly over to the other country, I have to find a country side town where's isolated from the capital. Having only money is indeed troublesome but it doesn't matter, I'll need to settle things for myself first.' In his bag is a big mountain bag full of USD estimating around a million dollars.
Clearly Zenaisu planned this already long before, being born extremely smart is a perk itself. While true that he doesn't like bloodshed within his own kin, he also knew this is a naive thinking. Even moreso acquiring the inheritance? That will only put his mom and dad in more danger, specially his dad.
So he withdraw a few cash and hides it in his room where he told the maid not to touch, of course the main didn't find it weird. While doing this he accumulated much amount of money without alarming anyone in the family. While spending a few million isn't really a big deal in Hudelaneva family in fact it's common, specially if he's the only direct descendant of the current Patriach of the family. Also his grandpa doted on him ever since he was a child, which drew countless jealousy, rages and daggers upon him. But he didn't blame his grandpa about this.
At first Zenaisu's goal is the change the structure of the whole family to be a united one. But while growing up he knew he was naive, even if lacking in experience due to his intelligence and everyday encountering matter of business and dealing with people he realized many things.
While gifted with abnormal intelligence at the age of 8 already helped the family to fish up a net worth of 500,000,000 USD! This happened when he voiced out his thoughts on investing upon a product while he heard his dad. At that age while that can be considered a child's nonsense Zenaisu's already helped the family by that alone.
Zenaisu grew up made more enterprises, more investing making connections with other families! He also is talented in music given his education is top notch, history, chemistry, fencing, physics, law, business, psychology,army tactics, karate, taekwondo, human anatomy and many more that he really did well! Due to his extremely high IQ it made this all possible for him to gain the title number one prodigy in Hudelaneva family.
In fact this wasn't only in the Hudelaneva family. He also outshine the other heir of those families as big as Hudelaneva's!
Of course this draw more pressure to him, the more he accomplish the more dangerous his mom, dad and him. He wasn't much worried about his grandpa tho, whoever mess with his grandpa won't end well and he knew that. In fact all of the Grand Patriarch of the big family are like that. They're like a president or an emperor to put into words.
He also knew that his grandpa can protect him even after he succeeded on inheriting everything. But he don't want that, as an acknowledge prodigy who doesn't have their pride? While part of him was pride. Some part of the picture was to have a better footing in the family.
He also believe that he can stand alone when he accumulate power is the time he inherit and groom Hudelaneva!
All of this grand plan led him to making a choice. And this choice led him to where he is now, in the woods with crickets.
"Damm, being smart isn't enough having experience the hardness of life. No matter this is just a small sacrifice for the bigger picture" Zenaisu said while eating a protein bar while on his sleeping bag.
He doesn't have a phone, besides a few fake identity card that he made and some food that will last enough for him to find a new place to stay. He only have money, the phone can be track he knew how big his family is. He also can't travel to other countries because he will be found definitely!
While this is the perfect chance for his father's enemy to make a move, for Zenaisu this is also the chance to lessen the danger for his dad or mom.
"As long as it's not confirmed on where I am nor I'm dead or alive the enemy hiding in the shadow won't make drastic move inside the family. But they will outside as long as I'm alive. Greed and envy really is a frightening thing."
Little did he knew that the decision that he made today greatly changes his already sealed fate, that made it unpredictable for him or his enemy.
Next thing in the morning he continue to walk towards the side road of the forest.
He chose the route that he prepared a long time ago, while the forest is a part of the Hudelaneva's land no one will think that he will choose this path. Why? Simply because he knew that his family will think that he made this plan long time ago in the regards they're correct. But the thing they didn't know he chose to endure a prodigy living like a desolate mice. And this also delay his time quite a bit of getting out the capital.
This will make time for the family to lockdown the capital right and that will left him trapped and no choice right?
But for Zenaisu this is more likely an opportunity! Because if he were to think normally on their shoes. He will rush of getting out of their reach or at least the capital.
"Sure they will tighten and lockdown the capital and will send a lot of people to look for me, they cannot do so openly or this will inform the other family. Good thing I prepared and had the whole forest layout drawn into a map a month ago as the cover up reason of getting knowledge more about the Hudelaneva's, as a future successor that is'
While being delayed in this forest and seems like I'm trapped in truth it's much safe this way. They can't be overbearing that much or all the livelihood of the people will be affected or the country itself, while risking the ire of the government this specially the case of the Hudelaneva's branch that's waiting for him with a gun on their back.
