Ethan didn't even bother with a response as he met Lucian's gaze squarely.Stifling the scowl on his face, Lucian suggested. "Fine then, how about a game?"Ethan raised a brow. "Oh?""Yes. A treasure detection challenge. If you can prove that you are skilled, then I will allow you to remain, if not, you will leave this place immediately and never come back!"Ethan remained silent for a few seconds with Louisa quickly retorting."What the hell is wrong with you, Lucian?... There's no need for this.""Calm yourself, Louisa dearest. I just wish to show you that even though he has money, this pauper would never be able to tell real gold from fake." Lucian said confidently.Just as Louisa considered taking him away forcefully, Ethan replied. "I accept your challenge." "Oh and here I thought you didn't have the balls to accept," Lucian muttered excitedly. "What are the rules?""It's simple. Five objects will be randomly picked from within this room and we are to pick the one with the grea

Despite Lucian mocking him, Ethan remained calm as he addressed John."Check the meteorite, you might be surprised by what you see.""What nonsense?... Do you think you can come in here and do whatever you want?... Are you telling me that you are more knowledgeable than our workers?""No, I'm only telling you to check the item." "You…" John trailed off as he began to nod. "Fine then, but if it turns out that I'm right, you'd go down on your knees and kowtow to me 10 times for wasting my time!""Agreed." "Hah, this fool doesn't know when to quit." Lucian mocked in the background.Meanwhile, Trina couldn't help but pause as she wondered. "What exactly are you up to, Ethan Jones?" John was already angry at Ethan for now knowing his place.So seeing as Ethan didn't know when to take a step back, he was prepared to completely humiliate him.That would teach the young fool a lesson.So he walked toward the meteorite and took hold of it before quickly perusing it.However, he soon reduce

It's 7 pm.The main hall of the Golden Palace was teeming with several people related to the birthday celebrant.Today was Lucinda's 90th birthday and though she was quite advanced in age, she had done well to manage her appearance, causing her to look quite healthy.A few speculated on ways she had managed to keep herself so healthy with some even bordering on nonsense like she had sold her soul to the devil but regardless, few took them seriously.She sat as the center of attraction today, adorned in an eye-catching attire that made several envious with some even wondering why such an old woman would bother with such opulence.The main hall was also decorated specially for the occasion and after most had arrived, the first part of the party which was the gifting section quickly began."Grandma, on your birthday today, I brought you this flower vase. It's said to be a rare treasure once owned by a queen of the Mali Kingdom and given as a gift to the man who saved her life during an a

Soon enough, Ethan's turn arrived and he walked forward, exuding confidence in every step.His presence drew attention but he didn't care much as he arrived before Lucinda and placed his hand in his pocket.Expecting something expensive, he instead pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over to Lucinda who, stunned at first, had no choice but to take it.Everyone looked on in confusion, had he given a check or something?The curator glanced at the piece of paper before she spat angrily."Hey, you!"Ethan glanced at her, a bored expression on his face."Did something happen?" A few were still unclear as to what he'd given as a gift.Ignoring the murmurs, the curator continued. "What is this rubbish you brought to our esteemed family head?... Are you looking down on the Goldberg family?... Is that it?""Huh, what's going on?" The onlookers couldn't help but wonder.Ethan yawned as he asked. "Is there a problem with my gift?""You cheapskate, you come in here like a boss but you dare

Lucinda was about to give a response when Ethan reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder.She turned to face him with the latter slowly shaking his head.Letting out a sigh, she nodded before proceeding to take a step back while Ethan took a step forward, prepared to confront the arrogant prick.“I may not be worthy of Louisa, but are you worthy?” Ethan asked causing Lucian to sneer at him like he were a fool.“Do you even have to ask?... Of course, I'm worthy!... I have everything you can only ever hope to have, that is the difference between you and me, Ethan Jones!... You are nothing compared to me!”Ethan smirked. “Then let's put that to the rest, shall we?”“What the hell are you talking about?” “I bet everything I am worth in the games tomorrow. If you manage to beat me, then you can have everything I am worth, including my life!”“Ethan!” Louisa was shocked to hear Ethan say such a thing, after all, it was going a step too far now.Even Lucinda was shocked but she didn't
