Ethan pondered for a moment before quickly recalling that he had asked Bartholomew to reach out to a high-ranking member of the Military.As much as he understood its value, Ethan couldn't keep on holding on to the secrets he'd gotten from the auction organized by Poltergeist.There were moles in the Lumina Empire, and if these people weren't dealt with, it wouldn't be long before the empire would become unsafe for people, which was something Ethan didn't want to see, hence the reason for the meeting.So, he immediately put a call across to Bartholomew and got him to inform the other party of his current availability.Since it was a crucial matter, Ethan decided not to postpone it and so asked that the meeting be slated for today but early enough so he would be able to make it to the concert on time.Bartholomew was agreeable to this, and after he dropped the call, he called back soon after to inform Ethan that a venue was set and that the meeting would be held in two hours.Consideri

“I think I can do that. Don't worry, Mr. Jones; I am a magnanimous man, after all.”At this point, several had gathered around them, mocking Ethan for claiming to be something he was not. Just then, the host, Rebecca, arrived with a worker. “Mr. Kenan, please come with me so we can complete the payment process.”“Is there a need to go away from here?” Cassie asked, unwilling to miss the opportunity to humiliate Ethan further. “Just get a card reader here so that we can pay.”Kenan foolishly went along with her act as he nodded. “Yeah, there's no need to stress me; just get the items here, and I'll pay for them; it's as simple as that.” “I apologize, I'll get a card reader for you now.” Rebecca intoned before giving out orders to the worker with her who immediately rushed to do as she'd asked. It didn't take long for the worker to return with two others, one with a card reader and the other with the items placed in delicate packaging.Kenan grinned as he took out his card, which hap

Satisfied with this, he began. “It is an honor to meet with the Heavenly Generals.”“Enough with the theatrics; what does the man that somehow managed to turn Solaria from a monarchy to a democratic Republic want with us?” “Don't worry, I have no bad intentions.”“That much we are aware of. Your capabilities are for lack of a better word, quite intense. It would be best to not overdo things so the Imperial family doesn't feel threatened by your presence.”“Why would they be threatened?”“You'd know soon enough.” Chuckling in slight amusement, Ethan decided to go straight to the point. “There's been a breach in your information channels. Sensitive information that, in the wrong hands, could cause chaos in Lumina Empire is currently in my hands, and I got it from an auction. You should already know what this means?”“How can we be sure that you aren't just exaggerating the effects of the information you have received? We do not doubt your capabilities, Ethan Jones, but do not doubt ou

Leilani quickly turned back to find an intruder on her stage but instead of fright, endless joy sprouted in her heart as she could immediately tell who it was.Ethan, donning one of Anna's designs, was seated in a corner, playing the piano without a care in the world, his entire ambiance radiating class and heaven-defying charm.Women swooned upon seeing him, while men could only curse him in their hearts for being so handsome.Naturally, he ignored all of them and kept on playing, enjoying the benefits of being a blessed of Prodigy.As he kept playing, the entire hall was drenched in silence causing Leilani to gasp in admiration.If her voice was like an angel's, his movement was also quite angelic.Each key he pushed tugged a string in her heart and, by extension, several others as they were drawn to the performance.Finally, the short piece ended but that was only the beginning.Leilani sang and Ethan played, their duality creating a crescendo of music that swept everyone into thei

“I think not. This is much better for me, by the time I have taken over everything and left you with no means to escape, what would you do then?... Of course, we both know the answer to that already.” “Hear me and hear me well; I will look for you, I will find you, and I swear that I will kill you in the most painful way possible.”If the person on the other end was present before Ethan, Ethan would have seen the terror his words caused the person to feel as silence persisted for a moment before a response was heard.“You will serve as my springboard, Ethan Jones, I will win.”“We'll see about that.” With that, Ethan ended the call before proceeding to take a deep breath to calm his emotions.The other person had managed to rile him up but that won't happen again.No, he wasn't worthy of anger, but what he was indeed worthy of was death, and by tomorrow morning, he would have received it.That was his promise. "Ethan, is everything alright?" Anna worriedly asked, noticing the expre
