That same day, very early in the evening. Two men dressed in suits holding suitcases with dark shade glasses arrived at Shelly's place. Shelly was currently taking care of her sick mother whom she hasn't told anyone about, she lacked the funds to send her to a good hospital for treatment and also she has no one to ask for money. However just when she was about to go back to think about ways to get the money, a knock came at the door and she hurried to open the door. Only to see those men who looked at her with Respectful gazes, at first she thought they were assassins or mafias because of the way they were dressed. Nowadays, they move around in suits like professionals and was she was just confused. "Miss Shelly right." They asked and she nodded while taking a gulp. "We are from O&M company." Immediately she heard that a frown appeared on her face, however she asked what really brought them here. Two men standing in front of her, both wearing dark suits and sunglasses. Shel

Ethan planned to move out of this place to a bigger place where he could get enough space to train, however he decided to stay here for now. He opened his system to take a glimpse of his stats, especially his skill related stats. -Host: Ethan -Level: 12-Exp: 40500/81920-Hp: 100%(Healthy)-Mp: 1% -Wealth: $1,093,620,000-Adventures: 2-Class: Warlord[Stats] Strength: 120 | Agility: 120 Stamina: 120 | Vitality: 120Perception: 120 | Dexterity: 120 Charm: 6Luck: 5[Skills] -Heroic Martial arts (Level 4/5) -Tripple Pierce (Level 5/5)[Elemental skills] -Fireballs (F)-Flame skate (F)-Cloud of smoke (F)[Shop][Mission] [Shop][Dimensions: Locked] [Lab: Locked] 'Ever since I obtained this magic skills, I haven't been able to test it out because I'm in a real world not the other world where eventually everything is possible, a little of this fire ball can cause as little as a part of the house getting burnt or worst case it might cause an explosion.' Ethan thought to hims

Victoria's face turned pale, and anger flashed in her eyes. She clenched her fists, struggling to maintain her composure. "What do you know about Lawrence?" she spat out, trying to hide her vulnerability.Ethan chuckled and took a step closer to Victoria, his gaze piercing through her facade. "I know more than you think, Victoria. I know about your little arrangement with Lawrence, how you thought you could secure your position by being his puppet. But let me tell you something, he's done playing with you."Victoria's expression shifted from anger to desperation. "You're lying!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling slightly.Ethan's smile widened. "Am I? Ask yourself why Lawrence refused to help you get the position back, why didn't he use his family wealth to give you a chance to work here or maybe give you a position in his family business. It's because he realized you're nothing but a liability, someone easily manipulated. He saw through your schemes, Victoria."Shelly watched the i

Ethan waited in a small tea shop outside O&M. He bought a cup of milk tea while he sat there waiting for the manager to call his cellphone and give the board's response.Ethan knew that he had shown a really unnatural side of himself to Victoria and Lawrence, but he wasn't bothered. Both of them have now become a thorn in his side, and he doesn't want to get his hands dirty while growing economically.That would not only destroy his reputation, but it would also serve as an obstruction to getting partners and growing his business in the future.Meanwhile as he sat there, Lawrence and Victoria kept threatening the manager. However, what they didn't know is that he is a man that would do anything for money. That was the only bait a fish like him will be drawn to. Threatening him is just as useless as mopping a river. He stood his ground against the two of them and told them that someone has already bid higher and that person would soon acquire the company. This irritated Lawrence to

Shelly folded her hands, waiting for an explanation from Ethan."How about we go somewhere more quiet?" Ethan said it with a smile on his face."It's still work hours; I can't leave," she replied."I'm the boss now; you can have as many breaks as you want." Ethan smiled as he said that."That's not enough." She said it with a straight face."Ok then, how about we take out both your congratulations for double promotion and my congratulations for owning O&M?" Ethan suggested it with a smile."What do you mean?" She asked. "You see. O&M have no manager at the moment, and you're the only one I trust and the only one I'm sure would be able to handle that position. Alright, we are friends.""Friends?" Shelly muttered lowly before replying with a smile. "Okay, I accept." She finally agreed.Ethan asked Jude to watch over the place while he was away, and he tipped his old time buddy with a sum of ten thousand dollars before leaving with Shelly in the ride he had booked.As Ethan and Shelly s
