“Porsche, huh?” Ethan immediately showed interest causing the attendant to explain further. “Yes, from our available records, it's one of the twenty made back then for the most influential people in the world. This one was gifted to us after the untimely demise of the head of the Malcolm family.”“Ah, in that case, I believe it's a worthy vehicle.”“Does that mean you'll be participating in the auction, sir?”“Absolutely.”“Wonderful. Right this way, sir.” The man led Ethan and Anna to a waiting room where they were served drinks and snacks while waiting for the auction to start.Once it was time, Ethan and Anna were led by the man to the auction hall only for the duo to pause halfway there as they caught sight of two familiar faces.It was Lucia accompanied by Jason.At the same time as they saw Lucia and Jason, the latter noticed them as well with Jason turning livid as he immediately recognized Ethan's mask.Before Lucia could say anything, Jason matched over. “You bastard!”The

“Sold to 226!” Pascal exclaimed while slamming his mallet down causing the entire hall to erupt in cheers as several couldn't help but applaud for Ethan.He had shown himself to be an astute businessman, unlike his supposed rival who had ended up falling on her face twice before finally having to give up.Previously they would have considered him a fool but he had proved them otherwise and so now, many looked forward to getting to know him.In any case, with the auction completed, Ethan and Anna didn't hesitate to leave as they'd been informed that the keys as well as relevant papers would be delivered to them in approximately 25 minutes.Hence, they hoped to avoid engaging in prolonged conversations with the other attendees but unfortunately, they weren't fast enough, and soon, they were bombarded from left and right by businessmen and politicians seeking to establish ties.With no other choice, Ethan decided to entertain them though he didn't bother trying to establish any real ties

“You see what you've done!” Jason bellowed once he'd gotten back to the Williams manor with Lucia. “I've turned into a fucking meme because of you!”Lucia didn't answer, instead fuming as she recalled how she'd been utterly humiliated by the masked man and Anna.To think that she had fainted from a single slap across the face.She cursed Anna a thousand times over.Seeing her ignore him, Jason was even more livid as he loudly addressed them. “You were the one that told me to be calm yet you end up doing this bullshit!... Do you know how hard it's going to be for me to recover from this embarrassment?”Unable to take any more of his rubbish, Lucia spat coldly. “Just shut your mouth!... Before now, you have always been a fucking joke!“What?”“Before now, you were nothing. If not for me, you would still be that fucking gamer chasing after Ethan's shadow so shut your mouth and just sit.”“You bitch!” Jason exploded and was about to act only for Reginald to reveal himself.“What is going

Orville couldn't understand why Ethan was so adamant.So to teach him a lesson, he decided to agree to his request.“Fine then, I'll call on the appraiser but on one condition.”“What condition?” Ethan inquired with a raised brow.“If it turns out that you are just spouting rubbish, then you'll have to clean the toilets on this floor for a week.”The arrogant woman behind Orville quickly added. “Make it two!”“Of course. Two weeks.”“And it I turn out to be correct?”“I'll apologize.” “Nah, let's make it more interesting. If I turn out to be correct, you'll not only have to compensate me for the time wasted and the unnecessary insults with a free dress, and yes, the dress has to be your most expensive.”Orville could barely contain his surprise at Ethan's audacity.“Also, you'll have to make a public apology using the announcement speakers.”“You…”“I have no reason to accept your ridiculous challenge, Mr. Orville. I only observed so if you wish so badly to prove that I'm wrong. You'

Ethan had always been a sore spot for Hugo.He was better at everything, even at being a good person.Because of that, Hugo hated him.When put next to the great Ethan, he was nothing, and that fueled his hatred even more.When hearing a masked Ethanmentionsn his past, he flared up, his anger exploding like a volcano.“How dare you!” He bellowed, drawing the attention of quite a few guests as they turned to watch the unfolding spectacle with interest.Ethan remained unfazed as he intoned. “I'm only stating facts, Hugo, I mean, Howie. Don't you like facts?”“You bastard!” Hugo tried to attack Ethan but he was sorely mistaken for thinking he would be able to overpower Ethan due to his larger body.Ethan proved that quite well as he grabbed the incoming fist before pulling Hugo toward him and then tripping him, causing him to fall unceremoniously to the ground on his face.“I didn't know you were a fan of the floor, Mr. Hugo.” Ethan intoned, his tone laced with mockery and sarcasm.Hugo
