Ethan did not enjoy violence though if needed, he was ready to dole it out to whomever was worthy of it.Which was why he praised Thompson for being wise enough to take a step back when needed.There was no reason to send him to the hospital though Ethan thought him deserving of it.Regardless, it was fine as long as the fool understood the error of his ways.Thompson sold his shares without hesitation after which he was dragged out of the building along with his subordinates.It was humiliating for him but did he dare to fight against it?... Of course not. The fear of Ethan was the beginning of wisdom and he didn't dare to think that he would come out victorious should he remain stubborn.Once Thompson was gone, the reception erupted in applause as everyone praised Ethan for standing up for Kate.None of them liked Thompson but were too scared to reveal their dislike due to him being more powerful than them.However, seeing that their boss was a man willing to stand up for them, nat

Despite meeting him for the first time, none of the stakeholders dared to make a sound as Ethan walked into the room.The oppressive air about him made it difficult to say anything and so, they remained silent, waiting for him to address them.Meanwhile, Ethan took his sit and scanned the faces of everyone present.Once done, he inquired of Francisca. “Is everyone here?”“No, apart from Thompson that you have sent to the penitentiary, there are two more that refused to answer the invitation.”“Alright, freeze their stakes. I don't want to hear those bastards are still making money off of Savour, understood?”“Mn.” Francisca nodded in agreement after which Ethan turned to face the stakeholders once again.His voice taking on a subtle but authoritative tone, Ethan remarked. “I'd like us all to watch a short video before anything else.”None deigned it necessary to offer a rebuttal so they remained silent, waiting for Ethan to speak.This power was indeed quite intoxicating.In any case,

Madeline went silent as she stared blankly at Ethan, unsure of what to make of what he was saying.She knew her new boss had deep pockets but this… wasn't this a bit much?If Horizon is to be considered a B-grade company, then NeoCo would be considered an A-grade, a whole level above yet Ethan just randomly said that he had bought it. There was the option to think that he was lying but judging from how he spoke, it didn't seem like a lie.“Did you purchase NeoCo, sir?”“I had no choice. Their boss was trying to be smart.”'What kind of excuse is that for buying a whole ass company?’ Madeline nearly freaked out as she stared at Ethan, unable to understand the incredulous words coming out of his mouth.She didn't even know how to respond as she stared dumbly until Ethan glanced at her.“Is there a problem?”“... No, sir.” Madeline shook her head as she turned away.She realized that she might have to get used to watching her boss do the craziest shit and there was no point in freaking

Reginald sat in his study, his expression a complicated one as he delved deep into his thoughts.His contacts had kept him informed of the situation in the business world and of all the things that they had mentioned, one in particular stood out to him.“Ghost,” Reginald muttered softly as he couldn't help but wonder about the true identity of this enigmatic figure.Who was he and where did he come from?... Most importantly, what were his goals?Reginald didn't know why but he felt that it was no coincidence that this nameless man had emerged at this point.His subtle acts, albeit slow and steady, were already priming him for a position at the peak, a position that Reginald dreamt of claiming.He had planned for several years, committing vile crimes all in a bid to ensure that nothing would prevent him from reaching that place.Yet this Ghost had managed to, in a single week, prove himself a threat to watch out for.He had never considered those powerful families a threat as their eye

Smirking, Ethan turned to face the store owner who was staring at him in utter disbelief.“Impossible.” She muttered with Ethan shooting back.“Oh, I think it's very much possible.” ***The store owner, who revealed her name to be the Elf Queen Vivienne, stood at her position at the reception, still unable to believe that Ethan had won the challenge.“What?” Ethan inquired with a smug look as he noticed her stealing a glance at him.She shook her head. “Nothing.” “Alright, so what's the blessing I will be receiving? Also, where's my gacha box?... Better not have been lying.” “Give me a moment,” Vivienne replied as she let out a sigh.Since she was soundly beaten, she couldn't attempt to cheat Ethan out of his prize.Hence, she approached him where he was seated, carrying a box that resembled a Rubix cube and a leaf.“This is the blessing.” She remarked as she handed over the leaf.Ethan raised a brow, quite skeptical that such an ordinary lead was a conduit for a blessing but then
