There were quite a few people who had held a grudge against Ethan during his reign at the top.Selena was one of them.She'd been his girlfriend for a while but she cheated and was caught with Ethan kicking her out of his life permanently.Since then, she'd held a deep-seated hatred toward him which was why when he was arrested and stripped of his honors, she was one of those who celebrated his downfall.To think that he would run into one of his crazy exes in such a place, Ethan couldn't help but feel amused at the opportunity that had fallen onto his lap.“I don't care if you were let out of prison or not but I'm well aware that you are no longer the number one gamer of the past. Right now, you are an ex-convict with nothing to his name. What could a bum like you be doing in an upscale place like Threads?”“I doubt our movement is any of your business.” Anna spat back earning a snort from Selena.“Oh please, can it? Brokies like yourself are better suited for thrift stores where thi

Flashing a satisfied smile seeing Selena utterly defeated, Ethan decided to add a final nail to her coffin because… why not?He turned to the cashier and remarked while pointing at the clothes Selena had picked for herself. “Add these to my bill as well. I'd like to take them with me.”The cashier promptly did as instructed after which Ethan got Jerome to help him with the bags.“Thanks for the help,” Ethan remarked once he'd gotten to his car with Jerome nodding.“Happy to help.”“What's your account number?”“Sir?”“I'd like to give you a tip, you accept those right?”“Yeah, I do but there's no need.”“I insist.” Ethan calmly replied causing Jerome to ultimately relent as he called out his account number.Ethan calmly got the system to transfer some money to the account while acting like he was doing so with his cell phone.Jerome's phone rang causing him to pull it out only to freeze as he set eyes upon the so-called too Ethan had sent.“Sir, isn't this too much?... A whole 100 gra

Leroy returned to the kitchen with a smug look on his face, quite satisfied with how he had handled the situation.As far as he was concerned such brokies didn't even deserve to be eating at the restaurant.His initial thought was to kick them out but decided it would be better to teach them a lesson.Next time, they wouldn't dare to set their feet into such a fine establishment reserved for the wealthy.Brenda rushed in at that moment. “Chef, don't you think…”“Just shut up and get to work else I'll have to consider telling the manager to slash your salary. To think you'd have the audacity to take my meal to such people, I should have your job.”Brenda trembled as she understood Leroy's position in the restaurant.When Jenkins wasn't around, Leroy served as a stand-in manager and so was capable of making important decisions.So though she wished to stand up for Ethan and Anna, she found that she had no power to do so.Feeling regretful, she returned to her post while Leroy went about

Ethan initially planned to be low-key and avoid drawing attention to himself but Lucia had not only decided to come to his table, she also decided to make trouble as well.If he continued to stay quiet, he wouldn't be able to call himself a man after this, hence the reason he decided to speak up.Of course, there was another, more obscure reason.[Emergency mission has been created][Mission Title: A Lesson in Humility][Goal; Put Lucia Williams in her place][Reward: Fame +10, 200 EXP][Failure: Loss of views]Though the punishment for failure was not life-threatening, he had no reason to refuse the mission, especially with the pleasant rewards waiting at the end.So with renewed vigor, he had only one thought in mind; teaching Lucia a lesson!“Do you understand now?... Or do I need to repeat myself?” Lucia remarked at that moment.Ethan raised a brow. “Not at all. In fact, how about I be your host for the evening.”“Hmmph, it's good that you are back to your senses. Otherwise, I'd h

[Transaction complete][Account balance: 1,100,000,000]Ethan nearly fell out of bed at the substantial sum displayed on the screen.To think that this was just the beginning.He couldn't help but wonder what awaited him at the end.Perhaps at that time, he would be worth the total of all the companies in the world.It was a rather novel thought.Of course, he didn't dwell on that and quickly moved to the next stop.[Due to hastened level up, the system has designed it better to hold off on the evolution process for fear of causing the host harm]Ethan thought back to the pain he felt when moving from level 1 to level 2 and couldn't help but thank the system for not automatically starting the evolution process.The pain would have knocked him out cold considering he jumped 3 levels in the space of a day.Taking a deep breath, he remarked. “I would like to start the evolution process now.”[Is the host sure of this?... You would be experiencing the process 3 times without pause]“That'
