Suddenly, they find themselves transmigrated to a parallel world in the late 19th-century country of Avalonia. In this world, they'll need to work tirelessly to earn enough pennies to survive. But they won't settle for just getting by - they want to become the Edison, the Chrysler, the Rockefeller, the Carnegie, the Ford, and the Westinghouse of this new world. In a world without electricity, Poul and Jonathan decide to start an electric power distribution company. But that's not enough - they also want to build appliances and motors to make their business profitable. They see the opportunity to revolutionize ground transportation, and they start an automotive manufacturing company. They tackle huge infrastructure projects such as metro stations, skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, and dams by starting their own civil engineering firm. They even invest in the arms manufacturing industry. But the road to success won't be easy. Fierce competition awaits them, as robber barons are willing to do everything to crush their competitors. Predator against predator, and government intervention. Poul and Jonathan must use all their engineering expertise and business acumen to navigate this treacherous landscape. Join Poul and Jonathan on their journey to become the wealthiest men in the world in a parallel universe where anything is possible.

Possessiveness

Thirty minutes later, Prince Alexander returned to the main office along with Jonathan Axelsen.

Inside, they saw Poul and Penelope sitting silently in their respective seats. Poul was the first one to speak. 

"So, how was the tour? Did His Highness find it enjoyable?" 

"Well, I must say, I'm impressed with the tools and equipment that you are using in your factories, especially the electric-powered lathe and milling machine. The workers are working in order as if they were ants, and the overall environment is very organized," Prince Alexander replied, his eyes scanning the room with genuine admiration. "I can see that much effort has been put into making this place efficient and productive."

Jonathan Axelsen chimed in, his enthusiasm is evident. "Indeed, Your Highness. We take pride in our innovations and the quality of our work. It's our goal to provide the best for the people, and we're constantly striving to improve."
