Lincoln watched the black card fall to the ground before quickly shifting his attention back to Ethan who calmly remarked.“That card is worth 2.5 million. You can cash it out at any bank of your choice. With this, you no longer have any connections with Miss Lita and her orphanage. Dare to go against our agreement and you will be hearing from me.”With that, he turned and left, allowing Lincoln to digest the ominous words he left behind.It was only after several minutes that he managed to calm his nerves after which he lamented. “It seems this foolish son of mine has gone ahead to touch a hornet's nest.”He could only be thankful that he was let off without damage.In the future, he'd have to be careful to teach Johnson that there were people he absolutely couldn't offend.Meanwhile, Ethan didn't return to the orphanage and instead made his way to Commissioner Rowan’s house for a quick chat.Naturally, he brought up the orphanage and asked the Commissioner to look after them which R

Lady Spice's expression looked bitter as she glared daggers at Ethan.If she could, she would flay him alive for daring to humiliate her like this.When was the last time someone had dared to be so presumptuous in her presence?[100 billion]She placed yet another bid only for Ethan to counter it.[200 billion]“Are you really planning on making Northland an enemy?” Lady Spice questioned aggressively.As it was, she had been given a budget of 300 billion.She had planned to purchase information on Lumina Empire and also prevent any information on Northland from getting out.Who would have thought that Ethan would cause her to go above her budget on just one item?How would she be able to meet the Empress to let her know that she had lost such precious information?Clicking her tongue, she knew that if she went too far, then it might be possible that this nameless bastard would just purchase any information on Northland that was available and that was something she couldn't do.“I'll

Ethan didn't think that renewing the license was a problem though so they didn't discuss much on that. So, he ended the call soon after and reached out to Francisca to organize a meeting for all the managers from all the companies he'd purchased to attend.With Gamer Boy complete, he felt it was time to begin the first steps toward a merger.Of course, the question remained on what exactly would be the face of the company.With so many sectors, it was bound to be a tough decision.Scheduling a meeting for tomorrow, Ethan ended the call and intended to reach out to the Brewsters next when an explosion in front caught his attention.The girls were immediately gripped by terror as voices were heard across the intercom shared by Aaron and his men.“We are under attack!... The attackers are unknown, secure the main cargo and ensure they reach their destination!”Before a response could be given, yet another explosion occurred, this time behind the car.Whoever orchestrated the attack was

Ethan stepped up and explained only to receive a scolding from Anna for trying to act like Superman.Naturally, he could only allow her to conclude her rant before she finally hugged him, thankful that he was okay.At this point, one might think she was his mom and he was an irresponsible child.In any case, once that was done, they headed back to where their car had crashed before finally finding the road only to discover that Aaron had managed to beat back the enemies, though at the cost of five officers.“I'm sorry.” Ethan apologized once he learned of this.Aaron shook his head. “It's not your fault. We were the ones who chose to accept employment under you. We were already prepared for loss.” “I understand.”“Just tell me you know the bastard that dared to ambush you.”Aaron was looking for someone to vent on and who else but the person who made the ambush happen?Ethan nodded while pointing at an unconscious Crossbones. “We won't let any of them off.”Aaron seemed satisfied as

“Damn it, let me go!... I did nothing wrong!” Bill exclaimed as he continued to struggle in the hands of the security guards dragging him away.The security guards didn't even act like they heard him, acting like it was a mosquito buzzing annoyingly in their ears.As far as they were concerned, it didn't matter if Bill had done something wrong or not.Since Philip had asked them to throw him out, they would do just that.In any case, it's not like Bill had any sort of backing that they needed to be wary of, so they could do whatever they wanted.“Stop talking so much else I might just forget you are an old geezer and teach you a lesson.” One of the guards warned before proceeding to kick Bill in the shin, eliciting yet another pained cry from him.Of course, this ruckus attracted attention from those present but no one bothered to act like they cared as they murmured among themselves.“What do you think happened?” “What else?... I'm sure he overstepped and now has to pay the price.”
