“What do you mean we are all at huge risk? Last I checked, I asked you to tell me who had attacked me, not to give me reasons to be scared! I need you, RRS, and you are not helping matters right now!”Ethan snapped as he got nervous. If there was anything that he disliked at this moment, it was definitely the fact that he was beginning to lose his essence. He was trembling, and that wasn't what he wanted.[Host needs to be calm and listen to the system! Remember the promise? You must do as the system says.]The mechanical voice in his head echoed, trying to make him understand its first statement to him.“If you want me to be calm, why don't you tell me what you meant? I hate it so much when I am spoken to in words that I barely understand! I'm waiting, RRS!” Ethan stated. Just then, what was before his eyes changed, being swiped to an image of a man's back.“Another confusing image!” Ethan scoffed, rolling his eyes in exhaustion.“You know, if you don't want to tell me who it was, I

"Meeting someone like you is not something I ever want to do," he spat out, his voice dripping with venom. "You are a waste of my time, Ethan Wills! I will never spend my precious time on you!" As Gideon spoke, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Every muscle in his body seemed to be coiled with tension, ready to snap. His dislike for Ethan ran deep, and it was clear in every word he uttered. He couldn't stand the sight of him. Ethan felt the same way about Gideon. There was a mutual hatred between them that had been simmering for a long time. Just the thought of Gideon made Ethan's blood boil. He would go to great lengths just to be able to confront him, to look him in the eye and say what needed to be said. "What do you want from me, Gideon?" Ethan demanded, his voice a mix of frustration and determination. He had a plan, a plan that could only be put into action once he was face to face with Gideon. Gideon took a deep breath, trying to control the a

"I'll make sure you regret ever sending your men against me, Nathan! I'll make sure you regret ever coming after me. That's a promise!" Ethan's fist clenched as he declared, his eyes and anger fixed mainly on Nathan, who was still shocked to see him in his house.If there was anyone he was expecting, it definitely wasn't Ethan. He had strongly believed that Ethan was dead. He still had to put on a show to make Ethan leave his house."It's best you leave now, Ethan... leave while I'm still nice to you!" he warned. With a glare, he took a step closer to where Ethan was standing."Is that so? You want me to still torture you a bit? I can do that, you know." He sneered, and just then, Ethan had to give in, he had to listen to him.With a resigned sigh leaving his lips and a frown etched across his face, he turned on his heels and walked over to the door. Getting to the door, he halted, his head turned halfway to where Nathan stood."Trust me, Nathan... I'll make you regret every second of

Ethan stood in front of the door, feeling the weight of the moment. He took a deep breath to steady himself, his heart pounding in his chest. With a final breath, he reached for the door handle and pushed it open, expecting to find Nathan inside the conference hall.Nathan had recently been bailed out of jail, and Ethan assumed he would come to the company for a visit. However, as the door swung open, Ethan's eyes widened in shock. Standing in the middle of the room was not Nathan, but someone else entirely; someone Ethan never imagined he would see, especially here.The man turned around slowly, a sneer forming on his lips. "Hello, Little Wills!" he taunted, his voice dripping with sarcasm.Ethan's body tensed, his fists clenching tightly at his sides. He glared at the intruder, feeling a mix of anger and disbelief. "What do you want from me, Gideon?" he demanded, his voice steady but filled with barely restrained fury.Gideon chuckled darkly, clearly enjoying Ethan's reaction.It t

“We finally get to see each other, dear Miles…” Ethan's lips curled into a smile as he uttered, staring at Miles who was sitting right before him, his back turned against Ethan.The second he heard Ethan's voice, he swiftly turned around, and with a scoff, he stood to his feet.“Hello, Wills…” he bowed his head to Ethan, and with that, Ethan walked over to where he was standing.“I'm sorry for making you wait so long… why don't you have a seat and let's get down to business?” Ethan urged as he took a seat right before Miles at that moment.The plan was simple: for Miles to come over to a secret and quiet place, talk to him, and make him go ahead and take care of James's mother. She had been too ill for so long and it was time she got proper treatment.Miles was the only one James believed could help his mother, and that was the main reason why Ethan felt the need and urge to talk to Miles. But this time, he went alone. He had to find a way to persuade him just for James. He felt like
