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.

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.

Getting Out of Danger

After the heated battle, Richards and the surviving members of his squad retreated back to their apartment, their adrenaline still pumping from the intense firefight. They moved swiftly and efficiently, checking their surroundings for any signs of lingering danger.

Inside the apartment, they took a moment to catch their breath, the weight of the recent encounter evident in their sweat-drenched brows and labored breathing.

"Are they the ones that are attacking the facility, Mr. Williams?" Richards said, glancing at William who had a troubled expression.

"Yeah, they are the ones," William confirmed. 

"Well, it seemed like they followed us. It's dangerous to stay here longer, we have to move out and resume our journey." 

"Uhm…Captain," Edward interjected. "Are you serious? It's literally dark outside. We won't be able to see anything in the way and risk another encounter."
