From what Ethan has noticed, the demons here are almost like humans. They feel pride, joy, hate, and many other emotions that humans possess, as well as the will to follow those stronger than them.Like the drama that played out on the first floor, initially, all the lesser imps were fueled to kill Ethan, but suddenly that will died down after Ethan killed their master.However, there were no such demons here; the demons here are wiser. Their IQ is even higher than that of an average twenty-year-old.A card game requires IQ and a well-played strategy, but who would have thought that these demons would lose to a human like Ethan?It hurts their pride so much, a demon noble losing to a mere human in a game of cards.What could hurt more than that? It's like losing a spelling contest against a two-year-old baby.Normally, losing is not a big deal. Even the biggest winners would lose their game one day and be called a loser as well, but not if their victory or failure would determine their

Ethan stared at the succubus with a peculiar gleam in his eyes. Why was she smiling at him, and why wasn't the system reacting as usual when he was in the presence of a dangerous entity?"Who are you?" Ethan decided to ask after contemplating numerous possibilities.The succubus gave a brief smile, and suddenly her body started to evaporate.No, she wasn't evaporating like the other demons when they died, but it seemed as though she was switching bodies.The succubus's skin disappeared, replaced by that of a human female figure.She had long blonde hair that reached her waist, porcelain skin left bare for the eyes to feast upon, as she had no clothes on.Unfazed, Ethan stood and observed the transformation the former succubus underwent.Her body had a perfect hourglass shape; in fact, she appeared more like a human female if not for the long elven ears."An elf," Ethan muttered under his breath as he cautiously observed the naked elf in front of him.[Elf] [Special System Holder] [Leve

"Sir, Owen Penber sent a letter," Bridget reported with a look of uncertainty in her eyes. She then took out the letter from the portfolio she was holding and handed it to Ethan."Alright, you can leave," Ethan said after collecting the neatly folded letter from her. She nodded and left the office.He slowly broke the seal and opened the letter, which bore Damon Dominic's seal."Ethan Silvermore, how does it feel to lose your prized possession and die afterwards? Laugh. We know you are not ordinary, so we plan to take your Silvermore and kill you after... how does that sound... Cuddles from the Red Cross." That was what the letter read. Ethan glared at its contents.With everything that's been happening, it's already easy to see the game they are playing, and Ethan is fully prepared to let them play.He called Bridget into his office."Sir, you called.""Yes, I want you to do something really important for me from now on. Every job applicant must be allowed to work with us, regardless

Meanwhile, in the bustling city of Luxuria, Ethan Silvermore was unaware of the intricate web of deception being spun around him. He focused on his businesses, determined to protect his company from Starcrest's relentless attacks. The recent loss of partners due to Starcrest's manipulations had shaken him, but he refused to let it break his spirit.Ethan knew that victory against Starcrest would not come easily, especially with their vast resources and manipulative tactics. He had built Silvermore from the ground up, turning it into a successful business group through his own wit and determination. Now, he had to rely on his trusted team and his own instincts to navigate the treacherous waters ahead.Yesterday, he hired someone who was exceptionally new and had no experience. He also employed a new employee who seemed to know how to run a business. Both of them were young men under the age of 30. He suspected that one of them was working for Owen Penber, but it was hard to differentia

After sending the bastard away, Ethan finally got a chance to relax, but he wasn't happy about the threat in the end by Jason Smithfield. Anyone who threatens his company has to be brought down as soon as possible. That's just his way of doing things.He called Bridget and inquired about Jason Smithfield. She told him that Jason Smithfield is a shareholder in three different companies. According to her, he also owns shares in Silverlight, although it is a small percentage, it is still worth billions of dollars.He is really rich, but he is also foolish. Someone like that would definitely target the life of anyone that humiliates him, and in this case, he would most likely go and try to capture Todd."Okay, I want you to take care of it. I don't want Jason Smithfield to own those shares anymore," he said to her and went back to sleep.The next day, at Smallview Estate, Jason Smithfield and his woman could be seen inside a room making out.Despite the incident yesterday, both of them st
