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.

The Evening and the Morning

Jonathan and Caroline returned to the ballroom after their intimate conversation. As they walked, he linked arms with her, conveying a sense of closeness that surprised even him. Upon entering, they saw Poul and Amelia engrossed in conversation with Morgan and Sherman. The group appeared to be in high spirits, their faces alight with smiles and laughter.

Jonathan and Caroline joined in, eager to be part of the good vibes. However, Poul's comment about Jonathan's feelings for Caroline soured the moment.

"My, my, did my partner confess his feelings to you, Miss Dupont?" Poul quipped, his tone teasing. Jonathan's cheeks reddened in embarrassment.

"Poul, that's not an appropriate comment to make in front of Caroline," Jonathan chided.

"I don't think that's inappropriate. Miss Dupont is already aware that you have feelings for her, right?" Poul countered, his gaze flickering to Caroline.
