Therefore, upon learning that he had been swindled by Emersyn and her child, Ethan wasn't in a hurry. Currently, he was allowing Rose to drive him to the Hamilton hotel, where Emersyn and her child were currently staying."May I assist you with anything?" a hotel employee at the reception desk inquired, bowing politely to Ethan and Rose as they stepped inside the hotel. Not wanting to disturb Emersyn and her child, Ethan simply asked for their room number.However, when the receptionist learned that Ethan was looking for a guest, her expression stiffened. Luckily, Rose was extremely familiar with this kind of situation.So before the receptionist could react, Rose pulled out a red card from her pocket, displaying her picture along with the international criminal police organization's seal. She then looked at the receptionist with a stern expression and said,"I am a member of the international criminal police. I've received information tha
At this moment, seated in a freight truck, Emersyn was leaning against the couch, meticulously disguised. A pair of oversized glasses almost entirely obscured her face. She wore a wide-brimmed hat on her head, and her face was hidden behind a mask.In addition, her clothes had undergone a drastic transformation. She wore an outfit typical to rural women in their forties. Moreover, a faint sour smell lingered on the clothes, causing her face to incessantly scrunch up in disgust."Where on earth did you get these disgusting things? And why do they reek so badly?"Since marrying into the Alexander family, her wealthy lifestyle had not prepared her for this "countryside" stench. However, the man sitting at the front driving, albeit reluctantly, gave a wry smile and shook his head."Emersyn, please try to bear with it a little. We need to make the most of our time to escape. I can't find any other clothes for you right now. When we leave the city and reach the border, the boss will send so
At this moment, two men jumped out of a car. One was holding a handgun, pointing at the head of a woman standing nearby. The other carried a rifle, aiming at a group of plain-clothes police officers surrounding them."Everyone stand still, and no one is allowed to move a muscle!"The man with the rifle shouted. At the same time, the man holding the pistol started tightening his grip on the throat of the unlucky woman."Boss, do you want me to go and take care of them?"For the two robbers, who were pointing their guns at others, especially threatening a woman who could not fight back, Rose felt extreme disdain. Therefore, she turned to Ethan and made her suggestion.However, at that moment, Ethan suddenly spotted a familiar face in the crowd. He wasn't sure if there was a thread of fate that tightly bound them together, but every time trouble arose, Ethan always saw her next to him.What was odd, though, seeing Audrey approach the robbers, Ethan's brows knitted together."Boss, did yo
Three days have passed since Emersyn and her child were found dead in the car.Currently, Ethan not only holds a debt of up to eight trillion, but the finances of the Alexander Corporation could be more stable. Many operations within the corporation have been suspended for a considerable time.If it weren't for the organization's support, Ethan really wouldn't have been able to handle the corporation's debt. However, what bothered him most was not these issues but the sudden appearance of a man named Magnus Lane.This man claimed to be the chairman of the Asian Traders Association and a significant shareholder of the Lane Corporation. Moreover, he held the debt related to the shares that Emersyn and her child had previously transferred to him.Regarding this matter, Ethan was highly suspicious. How did this man named Magnus Lane appear at precisely this time?Furthermore, the deaths of Emersyn and her child were a tightly held secret. Aside from a few related people like him and Rose,
Watching the retreating figure of the young woman, the middle-aged man's face finally reverts to a smile. His gaze was full of contempt."Hmph, you're just a toy, and you thought you could fool me?"Knock, knock, knock!"Sir, may I come in now?"The knocking on the door from outside resumed. The middle-aged man, now seated on the sofa, turned his gaze towards the door and beckoned."Come in!"As the hotel's female attendant pushed the door and stepped in, she saw the man in the room wearing nothing but shorts. Furthermore, he sat lazily on the sofa, his legs crossed on the table, with a cigar in his mouth. The sight of him caused her face to flush with embarrassment. Seeing the petrified look of the woman who had just run out of the room, the attendant's expression darkened even further.However, at that moment, the middle-aged man casually tossed a wad of money on the table, approximately twenties ten-dollar bills. As he puffed on his cigar, he calmly spoke."Go down and call those t
Seeing Rose and Ethan standing at the door, for some reason, the two emerging showed signs of surprise. They gave the secretary a brief nod, and then the woman accompanying the young man gave Ethan a fleeting glance.However, the woman did not make a greeting but just silently watched him, a hint of a smile gracing her lips. Then, both of them quickly departed."Boss, do you have any prior acquaintance with her?"The woman's actions had been subtle. But as a professional assassin, Rose could perceive every slight movement they made. Therefore, she was somewhat jealous and questioned Ethan.Of course, Ethan had also recognized the two of them. However, in response to Rose's question, he acted as though he had not heard it and instead turned to the secretary who was waiting nearby and asked,"Excuse me, and we have an appointment with your boss. I'd like to know if he has the time to meet with us?"Previously, Ethan had planned for Rose to invite Magnus to Hamilton Hotel for a conversat
Ethan's office door was usually not locked, so it wasn't surprising that Dr. Suri showed up. However, her current expression made Ethan feel a bit awkward.Fortunately, Dr. Suri did not bring up this issue. She simply handed Ethan a file."Boss, this is the plan I proposed to you before. I plan to utilize the position of the small island, about twenty nautical miles away from the city area, as a large-scale research station. Moreover, from this location, we can easily transport our fleet to the Northern Hemisphere and continue to collect more data from the ice island we previously explored. I have found a method that allows our organization to control this island completely. Even national satellites could not approach or infiltrate the island."As she handed Ethan the dossier, Doctor Suri elaborated on her plan. They had discussed this matter before, but Ethan didn't expect her work ethic to be so strong. Compared to Gaius's task of clearing up the organization's power structure, Doct
At this moment, Ethan's car pulled into a luxurious hotel on the city's main thoroughfare. From inside, one could quickly behold the uniquely spectacular night-time seascape.This time, Victoria decked out like a radiant and beautiful princess, sat at the dining table, gazing absent-mindedly out the window. The twinkling lights on the seafront reflected against the dark waters, creating a genuinely extraordinary scene."Sorry, have you been waiting long?"As he settled in his seat, Ethan turned towards Victoria, expressing remorse. Ethan was on time; it was just that Victoria had arrived half an hour earlier than their appointed time."Oh, you're here? I've already chosen the food, all of which are your favorites. Now that you've arrived, it's just in time for the restau
