"Sir Ethan, sorry for us freaking out right there. We are such bad pilots who couldn't even care for the life of our passenger. We deserve whatever reviews you give to us." The pilot and copilot knelt and pleaded with Ethan immediately after landing.Ethan shook his head, "I won't be so petty as to give bad reviews. Pilot or no pilot, you have a life to live, and your life is precious. No one will sit tight when death is so close, but you have to learn from this not to judge a situation so quickly. Even if it's death coming, as a pilot, take opportunities even if you know they might fail. Those who make it big in the business world have a 90% chance of losing and a 10% chance of winning."Ethan gave them a short lesson, though he is aware they would act the same if the same situation repeats itself.He waved at the pilot and told them he has forgiven them already. Really, he had no grudges.The pilots thanked him, then he walked out of the plane. A group of suited men was already stan
As the dice came to a stop, everyone's attention was fixed on the outcome. The number on the dice was a 5, not the 3 that Ethan had bet on. The excitement in the crowd turned into hushed murmurs, and a disappointed look flickered across Ethan's face.It wasn't because he lost, no. He was too big to feel disappointed for such a loss; he noticed something fishy in the way Quadrireme played.Quadrireme smiled apologetically. "Hard luck, sir. It seems Lady Luck wasn't on your side this time."Ethan took a deep breath, still maintaining his calm composure. "It happens. That's the nature of gambling.""So, Mister, are you still interested?" Quadrireme asked with a smile, his girly voice almost sounding peaceful and annoying at the same time. It was like the singing of a bird in the middle of the night.Ethan brought out his card. "I want ten million worth of chips."He declared in a very calm voice, Quadrireme was shocked, but he replaced his shock with a smile and sent for the lady in charg
Lady Isabella is a very successful businesswoman in Vegas and also one of the most popular gamblers in the city. It is said that she has never failed to win at least one game per day.She owns fleets of cars and houses around the city and is also a shareholder in Starcrest, which gives her enough bragging rights.Ethan sat down and watched her mess with her own mind."Prove it then," Ethan voiced out with calm composure."Don't try to fool me with that collected expression. I know you cheated; you and this guy right here have settled it outside already to win so you can share the money outside. How foolish! You think I wouldn't notice?" Lady Isabella slapped the table once again.Lady Victoria nodded her head, stood up, and joined her colleague, or rather, friend in this situation."She is correct. Who are we trying to fool? I clearly saw you giving him a weird look to shuffle the right card for you. They said you are new here, so tell me how you know this guy."The young man referred
Roland Jackson stood up from his seat with a warm smile and extended a hand towards Ethan in a friendly gesture. "Ethan, it's a pleasure to meet someone with such remarkable abilities. I must say, your display of fighting prowess downstairs was quite impressive. I never knew the business king does martial arts too."Ethan nodded graciously, shook Roland Jackson's hand with a polite smile, and took off the mask he was wearing."Self-defense is important. I only learned a few skills to defend myself in times like this. By the way, who was that man?" Ethan asked as he sat down."You don't have to worry, Mr. Ethan. In a minute or two, he would be crying out of the casino. That should be enough punishment for him for now for trying to look for your trouble. I'll also apologize because I called you her in the first place.""No need, I'm not so childish to keep grudges.""Thank you for understanding, Mr. Ethan." Roland Jackson was really polite."Waiters, c'mon, be fast about it." Roland Jac
[Sorry host, I can't release such information.]The system immediately responded, but its response got Ethan thinking if everything was alright.'Why do you say so? It's not like you can't examine them and tell exactly what's wrong Is it in any way related to your creator?' Ethan inquired.[Yes, that information will be revealed to you in the future when the creator is done implementing his plan, but do not be worried, host. They will get better in the next two weeks or latest one month depending on the time they began experiencing the symptoms. Going offline.]'Oh damn, this is the third time the system has refused to give answers and said it's related to the creator.' Ethan cursed inwardly and let out a sigh.He transferred his attention to Doctor Andrew and Roland Jackson."Keep them here for as much as you can. They will get better soon, maybe. No need for the healing elixir.""Hmm?" Doctor Andrew was confused. He has been a medical practitioner for over ten years now, and he wasn
Jasper Dane nodded and said, "That's fine. I can wait."He took a seat in the waiting area and pretended to read a magazine while secretly observing the surroundings. After a while, he noticed a worker walking down the stairs and immediately seized the opportunity.He focused his eyes on the worker and managed to gather some major information about her, such as the location of her office and other details.Jasper Dane then excused himself and asked the receptionist for the location of the restroom, which she directed him to.While she wasn't looking, Jasper Dane walked into the elevator and pressed floor 6, and the elevator started moving noiselessly.Once it landed, Jasper Dane quickly walked out and rushed toward the office at the end of the left row.He placed a card close to the door, and it opened immediately without asking for a password. Jasper Dane strolled inside the room and casually plugged a USB device into a computer.On the screen, a small tab appeared.{Downloading.. 2%
Today is Friday and Ethan has decided to leave Las Vegas. Nevertheless, before he left, he arranged a meeting with Roland Jackson in the same casino.Both of them sat down, and this time Ethan decided to eat with the president since he seems to be a good man."It pains me that you will be taking your leave now, Mr. Ethan. I was hoping you would stay longer. We didn't even have the time to play golf as I had planned initially," Roland let out a sigh."I have something important to take care of; too bad, if not, I would have stayed longer. But you don't have to worry; you have proved that you're trustworthy, and I'll most likely visit Las Vegas another day.""That's a relief, to be honest," Roland let out a sigh, lifting a glass of wine. "Cheers to your visit."Ethan responded by lifting his glass too....At the moment Ethan was standing by the side of a plane with two bodyguards standing beside him.Roland Jackson waved at Ethan from the car he was sitting on, and Ethan nodded and wal
As they waited for their dishes to arrive, Shelly and Qiao Lian couldn't help but exchange playful glances, silently competing to see whose choice would impress Ethan the most. The atmosphere was light-hearted and filled with laughter as they continued to make jokes about each other's preferences and teased one another good-naturedly.Once the dishes started arriving, the table was soon getting filled with arrays of mouthwatering delicacies. The aroma of the dishes filled the air, and they couldn't wait to dig in. Ethan was delighted to see his friends enjoying themselves, and he joined in on the banter, making jokes about how they were both secret food critics.Amidst the laughter and teasing, Shelly playfully raised her eyebrow at Qiao Lian. "Alright, let's see if this Chef's Special Surprise lives up to its name. I have a feeling my Peking duck is going to be unbeatable!""Challenge accepted! But you know, Ethan, I'm pretty sure the Chef's Special Surprise will win your taste buds
