“So that's how it is,” Reginald muttered in a bitter tone, his expression complicated as he stared at Ethan. “No wonder, I couldn't help but feel threatened by you.”“Now you're just flattering me.” Ethan intoned with a hint of mockery.Reginald's wife intoned. “I heard you died.”“More like murdered. Perhaps you might know something about that.”No one responded as though the Williams were stunned, they were cunning enough to know that admitting to killing Ethan was the same as shooting themselves in the foot.“How did you survive?” Lucia asked, clearly still terrified by Ethan's presence.Ethan grinned. “Wouldn't you like to know?”“Why are you here?... It would have been better if you continued to hide your identity.” Reginald remarked, his eyes warily scanning Ethan's body.“But what's the fun in that?... Honestly, I could have done that but I'm tired of hiding. So here I am, Reginald, feeling trigger-happy?” Reginald gritted his teeth but knew deep down he could do nothing to Et

Ethan nodded as he let go of Ronald's hand, causing the latter to think he had won.“Hmmph, I thought you'd decide to be a hero.”Before he could say more, Ethan suddenly remarked. “Now gentlemen, you are about to see me beat up a fool.”“What?”Ronald didn't even see it until he was on the ground, only to realize that Ethan had struck him across the cheek with a right hook.His eyes spinning, he couldn't even make out his bearings, merely hearing what sounded like fighting for a while before it finally stopped.By the time he regained himself, Ethan was standing over him while his guards were all on the ground, unconscious.The girls with him had already run away, leaving Ronald to his fate.“What the hell is happening?” He asked in confusion.Ethan smiled mischievously. “I'm teaching you a lesson in humility, of course.” “You'd best not touch me again, I have friends in high places, I'll make you regret your life!” Ronald threatened while dreading the prospect of Ethan ignoring his

Just as Ronald was about to ridicule Ethan more, he realized he still was on a call prompting him to return to it.“Yes, what else do you want to tell me?”“I forgot to let you know, the person that bought all your assets is a businessman calling himself Ghost. He is the same one who purchased Savour, Horizon, and a host of other companies while clearing their debts. So you can be assured that your company is in good hands.”Ronald was just about to curse out the lawyer only to pause as he recalled something. Back in the cafeteria, Louisa had referred to Ethan as Ghost and he hadn't refuted her words.Did that mean?... No, it made no sense.Ronald glanced at Ethan, his lips trembling as he couldn't fathom what he had just thought.Ethan flashed a smile. “I'm guessing you are speaking with your lawyer. Say hi to him for me.” “Is that Mr. Ghost I heard in the background?... Hand him the phone, I need to discuss becoming his permanent lawyer.” Ronald didn't even have the stomach to ha

Having made up his mind, Ethan rushed to the pilot seat and helped Seth out of it before taking his place. As he grabbed the wheel, all information on how to fly a plane immediately flowed into his brain like a river.Before now, Ethan had no idea how to fly a plane but at this moment, even veteran pilots wouldn't dare say they were more knowledgeable than him.With a smile on his lips, Ethan remarked. “Bring it on.” He focused on stabilizing the plane first to avoid getting tossed around by the storm after which he began to make his way around the tornadoes and flashing lightning.Despite the attempts of the gods to stop Ethan from reaching his destination, the Champion of Absolute proved himself up to the task.After almost an hour of flying through turbulent weather, Ethan managed to escape the storm, finally arriving within calm waters again.His rapidly beating heart calmed down allowing him some respite.For a moment, there was silence, and then, a triumphant laugh escaped Eth

Diana sneered like she'd heard the funniest thing ever. “Hah, you get a room here?... Do you even know what the cheapest room here costs?... Fine, I'll tell you, it costs 500,000 for a night yet you say you wish to get a room here?... Oh come on, you can be stupid but outright delusions are not acceptable. Have you ever seen five hundred thousand talk more of holding it?... If not that you can speak so clearly, I'd assume you were an escaped patient from the asylum.”Ethan chuckled. “Yet you wish to make me your boy toy?”“To help your life,” Diana remarked without hesitation. “So you can either accept an offer of a lifetime that could change your life or you can continue acting like a fool with no ambition.”More amused than anything else, Ethan glanced at the receptionist. “How do I go about booking a room?”The receptionist glanced at Diana who felt insulted.“Fine then, since you want to be so stubborn, I won't hesitate to entertain you.” She remarked before gesturing for the rece
