As the old counts, "1...2...". Ethan finds himself on his knees, desperation in his voice, "Please, I'm just curious. I see them carrying something out of a van," he explains anxiously. The old man can't help but laugh. "And you want me to believe that? You're here as a driver, yet you won't stay in your place," he scoffs. "Anyway, you've seen what you shouldn't have, and for that, you'll have to pay with your life," he declares, signaling to the armed man to proceed with the grim task. But Ethan pleads earnestly, "Please, I'll do anything. Anything you want." His sincerity is evident. The old man leans forward, a wicked grin on his face. "You'll do anything?" he inquires, raising an eyebrow. Ethan nods vigorously, desperation in his eyes. "Yes, yes, I will," he affirms. The old man exchanges whispers with the person beside him, their eyes locked in a sinister understanding. "Alright, I'll give you a chance," he relents. Ethan sniffs in relief, "Thank you. I'll do anythin

"What did you just say, irrelevant people?" Ivan angrily said, as he stepped forward, with an angry motion, but Paulina grabbed him. Then stepped forward."She is dying and needs urgent surgery; she could die if care is not taken.""That is none of my business, we are short of surgeons at this moment, and we really need this nurse right now, the congressman sons were involved in an accident, they could die also," the doctor insisted."But we are the first to reach here, you could just have immediately directed them to another hospital," Ivan argued."Don’t you hear what I just said? I said they are the congressman’s sons, I don’t have time exchanging conversation with you, nurse... meet me in the OR," the doctor said and dashed away.Ivan looked at the nurse, who was also reluctant to go, but they had no choice, or else, they will lose the job."I am sorry, I have to go," the elder nurse said, a woman probably in her late 40s."You know she will die," Ivan stated.The woman nodded, "b

Sophia arrived back in the state, she immediately made her way to her house where her father was waiting for her. She knew she was going to face something big.She entered, holding her breath, and there he was, Mr. Victor Newman on the sofa, sipping tea in a mug. And beside him bowed Joel..."Father?... good morning," she politely greeted him and bowed. Mr. Victor didn't act like he was there; he sipped his tea and focused on the news, which the headline stated, "Mr. Thonks, the billionaire, appoints his anonymous son as the CEO."Mr. Victor chuckled, "Anonymous?.. I wonder why he is concealing his identity, to attack me?"Sophia didn't have the idea of what he was saying. Joel smirked at her, and just then Mr. Victor raised his hand and stated, "who is the man you are with?""Man? Oh yes, my bodyguard," she answered, putting on a fake smile. Mr. Victor chuckled and stood up, then walked slowly towards her."That is not what I heard from the board leaders. Who the hell is that fuckin

Marcus watched with concern as Sophia hurriedly boarded the plane, her sudden departure leaving him perplexed and worried. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong.Feeling Kathie's gentle tap on his shoulder, Marcus turned to face her, his expression still clouded with concern."Let's go," she said softly, her eyes reflecting her own worry, so down.Nodding silently, Marcus followed Kathie, "Uhm, what a long day!" he said to deliberately spark a conversation.Kathie didn't respond and kept walking. They reached the car parked beside the airport. She opened the car for Marcus.Observing Kathie's demeanor as Marcus entered. Her usually bright eyes seemed dull, and her shoulders slumped, and she looked puffy.Concerned, Marcus gently placed a hand on Kathie's arm and asked in a soft tone, "Is everything alright, Kathie? You seem... different."Kathie forced a weak smile, but it didn't reach her eyes. She hesitated for a moment before responding, her voice bare

The assembly man's frown deepened at Marcus's request, his brows knitting together. "Do you know these people?" he questioned. "They nearly killed my son. I can't forgive them; they deserve to be punished, even killed. I am considering killing them and feeding their flesh to my dogs."Marcus nodded solemnly, his gaze unwavering as he met the assembly man's eyes. "Yes, they deserve it. That is a heinous crime; your son nearly died. But I know them, they are my friends," he affirmed. "They're not the people you think they are. They're friends of mine, and what happened was just a misunderstanding. They never intended for anyone to get hurt."The assembly man groaned, pointing at Lydia. "But this woman here doesn't feel any remorseful," he said. "She kept telling me that my son deserved it, she kept stepping on my nerves. I can't just let them go; I can't do this for you, please."Marcus smiled and stated, "I know you are just angry, and that you don't mean it. You gave me a whopping $20

Sophia was looking at the letter, smiling and very happy. Her face lit up as she faced Marcus. She looked at him in a flirtatious way, "You did this!"Marcus chuckled and sipped his wine, "How? I did nothing.""I am sure the CEO considered because of your skill, the medical skills you show. You were cool then," she stated."Being medically skillful has nothing to do with business. You are just lucky, and you give that impression," Marcus simply stated.Sophia kept looking into Marcus's eyes. The words burned in her stomach. She loved him and wanted to confess, but it was so hard. Just so hard to do it."Marcus..." she called him, then breathed in and exhaled loudly. She had made up her mind to tell him."mm.. what?" Marcus cluelessly hummed."I don't know how to say this, but I think I have to say it after all... Marcus, I l....".She was interrupted by Kathie, who chimed in and stated, "Mr. Marcus?".Marcus turned to her, "mmm?""The assemblyman requires your presence in his house; h

The room seemed to shrink as tension filled every corner. Sean's eyes bore into Ethan's, each step e. Before either could make a move, Ariana stepped forward, her voice cutting through the heavy air."Enough, both of you!" she exclaimed, standing between the two men. "We've seen enough bloodshed. There has to be a way to end this without more violence."Ethan, his determination unwavering, nodded in agreement. "She's right, Sean. We need to find a resolution, not perpetuate this cycle of revenge."Sean's gaze shifted between Ariana and Ethan, a battle of emotions playing out on his face. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly lowered his weapon. "Fine, let's talk," he conceded, though his tone carried a note of reluctance.Ariana left the room leaving the both of them to talk, as she walked out, she saw tony smiling and weaving at her.she hissed and went on her way, she rushed towards her."why ignoring me", he asked."it seemed you are enjoying this situation, smiling and dancing

"Don't do it," Ethan glares at the gang leader, as if he could swallow him up. The leader laughs, "What can you do? You will just watch your family die in front of you before I kill you." Ethan glares back, blood in his eyes, "Don't do it, please," he pleads.The leader smirks, his hand hovering over the trigger, "Say bye to them," he says. "Nooo!" Ethan shouts, then a strange sensation surges inside him, and his eyeballs turn white before returning to normal.The leader hesitates, wondering what's wrong with him. Suddenly, a message appears: {System Reactivated… Host Found… 25%, 35%, 45%, 100%}. Ethan thinks he's dreaming, unable to believe his eyes and the sounds he's hearing. The system is back.{You summoned the system, would you like to sign in? Note that if you sign in now, it will be for eternity}. Ethan exhales loudly, finding it hard to understand how he summoned the system a second time. "Yes, I will sign."{Signing: 35%, 45%, 55%, 75%, 100%, completed. All skills, stage,

Ethan approaches Mr. Desmond, who gazes at him, trembling and shaking."I told you, this will be your only chance," he says."So, what are you going to do with me?" Mr. Desmond stammers."What do you think? I will kill you, of course," Ethan smirks, bringing out his gun."You know that will be stupid. Think about your freezer asset; I can let them free it," he said."Really, but I don't need it," Ethan replies.Mr. Desmond laughs, "You know you can't kill me. Think of your kid. How could you be a father for him in prison?""You think this is funny? I just figured out my mistake. I keep sparing you people, nevertheless, you keep coming back as a problem.""This will be my last problem of yours," Mr. Desmond smirks, but it's clear he isn't telling the truth."Are you enjoying this?" Ethan asks."Maybe yes, Ethan... You brought this upon yourself. And you know what, there is still the organization. Nick is forming it back, so there is no way you can end that," he said."I will kill you,

"I told you I know nothing about it; I am here to save her," Ethan tells the detective in the hospital. The detective presses on, "Why didn't you call the police when the abductor called you?""They warned me not to call, unless they will kill her," he said. "You should have at least told the police, and we would have looked for what to do," the detective said. Ethan exhales loudly, "The victim has told you herself that I am innocent."The detective then slams the table, "What is your business with the abductor, and why did he want you so badly that he would even kidnap someone to threaten you?". "I am not answering any more questions," Ethan says. He knows Mr. Desmond was at work.Just then, an officer enters the room and whispers something to the officer. The detective gazes at Ethan, then says, "You can go." Ethan smirks, wondering why they let him go so easily. He leaves the officer, only to find Mr. Desmond waiting for him outside. He ignores him and keeps walking."You sho

Mr. Desmond calls Ethan back, saying, "You have to meet him.""She is with your daughter, and you don’t even care, asking me to meet him?" Ethan questions."He wants you and won’t release her no matter what I do. If you don’t meet with him, he will kill her. If you don’t want to see her dead, meet him," Mr. Desmond says, ending the call.Ethan scoffs, wondering how a parent could do such a thing."So, what do we do now?" Sandra asks."I have to meet him in the location," Ethan responds.Sandra interrupts, "That will be very dangerous. You know he will kill you.""Yes, but if I don’t go, he will kill Ariana," Ethan says."So, we have to plan. We have to involve the police," Sandra suggests."Yes… call Derek and others," Ethan instructs.After Tony calls Ethan, he still feels uneasy and believes involving the police is necessary. He heads to the police station and reports the situation. The police put themselves to work, and instead of Tony going home, he lurks around, waiting for updat

Earthlord looked dumbfounded, “What do you think you are doing?”“Mind what you say, you are online,” Ethan smiles wickedly. Just then, one of the guards moves closer to Earthlord and whispers to him.“I will kill you,” he says as he walks away, leaving Ethan in the room. After a few minutes, the police arrive, but Earthlord and the others have escaped. The police take Ethan in for questioning, and he tells them everything.After Ethan leaves the police station, he heads to the hideout where the others are gathered.“You did good work,” Derek says.Ethan exhales, “But he escaped. He would do anything to come back for me.”“We have to be very careful; you should always walk in pairs,” Mr. Davis says.Sandra says, “Now that he has confessed, they should free you now and unfreeze all your access.”Ethan nods, “But we can’t be sure. Earthlord might have more influence than we think.”“What about Mr. Desmond and Nick? We should do something about them, maybe kill them,” Feifei suggests.Et

"Who sent you?" Lee asks with unwavering confidence. "You don't need to know," the driver responds, pulling the trigger swiftly. But Lee's instincts kick in, and he subtly shifts his head, causing the bullet to miss its mark and shatter the back glass.In the blink of an eye, Lee performs a remarkable maneuver, deftly twisting his hand. Before the driver can even register what's happening, the gun is now in Lee's hand."Now tell me, who sent you?" Lee demands, his voice commanding respect.The driver remains silent, but Lee isn't one to be deterred. He presses, "I won't ask again. Who sent you?" His hand hovers menacingly over the gun's safety."Mr. Chae... he sent me," the driver finally confesses, realizing the futility of resistance.Lee can't help but burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the car. "Tell him we should meet more appropriately next time. Thanks for the gun," he says casually as he exits the vehicle.{two days later}. The trial for the boy's death begins

After the woman left, Mrs. Chae calls for Rex, who enters the room and takes a seat. Mrs. Chae hands him the form."I want you to be in charge of the case. Do anything within your capacity to have her son released. I will ensure that the chief judge and the prosecutor are on our side, favoring us. You do the subtle work," she instructs.Rex goes through the form, and as he does, he adds, "Attorney Lee is back."Mrs. Chae raises her chin in surprise, asking, "What? He's back? How? When?""I am asking myself that same question. I lost today's case to him, and I don't know how he managed to get all the evidence we destroyed," Rex explains."He's also back in the court? I'm sure someone is backing him up. I must call the Minister of Justice," Mrs. Chae declares.Rex leaves the office. After Lee spent all those years in the prison, Rex has become a star attorney, seemingly winning every case. However, his victories are not a result of his own legal prowess or luck; they are all carefully

"Lee is back!" Dylan exclaims as he enters the room, and the hot tea instantly falls from Sydney hand, spilling on her leg. ..."Lee is back!" Dylan exclaims as he enters the room, and the hot tea instantly falls from Sydney hand, spilling on her leg. She doesn't even notice the burning sensation."Are you for real?" Mr. Chae exclaims, his surprise evident."Yes, Dad, you know the property theft case that Mom appointed Rex for? Everything was going smoothly until the chief judge said we should go for a short break," he swallows and continues, "Then, the attorney of those 'rags' didn't return, only to be replaced by Lee. And he won the case! He presented all the evidence we destroyed."Mr. Chae's anger flares. "Why would they free him? How could they?" He angrily picks up the phone to make a call, clearly unhappy about the turn of events."Are you that unhappy to know that he is free?" Sydney utters, challenging her father. Mr. Chae frowns at her. "How could you speak to your father

As the morning sun creeps into his cell, one of the wardens opens it, saying, "9004, come out." Lee follows the warden to the head warden's office, unable to believe what's happening."We are to release you on parole," the head warden informs him, pointing to the clothes in front of him."What... did you say?" Lee asks, a sense of disbelief filling him."Yes, you heard me right. The Minister of Justice chooses one prisoner in each district randomly to be released on parole, and it happens that you are one of them," the head warden explains. At that moment, Lee realizes that the system he encountered is indeed at work. He's about to be released.As soon as he steps out of the prison, the mysterious voice surges in his mind.{Congratulations on your release... now you have the opportunity to prove your innocence}."Wow... where are you talking from?" Lee wonders.{I am in your head, and you can communicate with me through your thoughts. No need to speak out loud}, the voice replies.Lee

Lee can't bear it and shouts, "No, I'm not the one!""Any proof to back it up?" the judge inquires.Lee shouts, "Here! This is the button I found at the crime scene. It's not mine; it belongs to the real culprit. I am not the one!" Tears fill his eyes.Alyson promptly objects, "My lord, I would like you to reject that. Why didn't he submit it until now? He didn't cooperate with the police and held onto this inadmissible evidence. He didn't even inform his attorney. As I told you, the only thing he can spew is lies."Lee continues to plead, "No, I swear I am not!"Suddenly, the courtroom door opens, and all attention shifts toward the unexpected entrant – the girl, the victim. She has awakened. Lee smiles, hopeful that this development will bring resolution to his situation."I am Anne, the victim," she announces, "and I want to stand as a witness to who really raped me." Her revelation sends shockwaves through the courtroom. The judge calls for order and allows her to testify. Alyso

"Dad!, how could you do that!" Sydney yells at her father."what are you saying Sydney, what did I do, hope you are not telling me to get him out of there, I will even make sure he rots in there," he hurls back at her.The others watch."You know very well what I am saying, you know Dylan raped that girl!""What!, what are you saying?" Dylan intervenes, shouting.She scoffs, "so, you all want to be playing innocent huh? Lee has his shirt button, the one he wore yesterday… he has it, and he found it at the scene."Mr. Chae and others face Dylan, "is that true?" Mrs. Chae asks."No, he is lying," Dylan claims, but in his voice, one can tell he is lying."Dylan!" his father yells.He immediately gets on his knees, "please father, I didn't know she would pass out, all we wanted was to have fun.""Fun? Again? We just got you out from one case, and you're now in another... you just sent the person who should help you to jail," Mrs. Chae scolds.Dylan starts crying."You are so timid, yet yo
