Ethan's Office..."Sir, we finally made a profit after a sale," Bridget opened the door and showed him the business chart from the previous day, indicating a profit of over ten million."Good, very good. Keep up the good work. By the way I'll be going on a trip to the USA tomorrow to meet someone very important. You will have to take care of the business and I expect a good job," Ethan said and handed back the chart and informing her of his departure scheduled for tomorrow.When she heard this, her facial expression saddened. She thought about what happened the last time and became a little bit afraid."I'll do my best, sir," she replied, bowing slightly before leaving the office.After she left, Ethan opened his system window and clicked on the lab tab. Immediately, a portal appeared in his office, leading to the lab.He walked into the lab and was greeted with a splendid view. His golems were working diligently, producing lots of healing elixir. Five golems were focused on producing
Ethan was overly focused on his phone. He had been too engrossed in business and world travel, to the point that he almost forgot the pleasure derived from playing video games.The headset was a perfect fit, and the sound output was excellent; each sound effect resounded in his ears, drawing him deeper into the video game he was playing.In the game, he controlled a large plane as the virtual driver, and seven missiles were aimed at the plane. He had to use special skills to maneuver the plane and ensure that no passengers were hurt.However, his ears picked up a different sound from the one playing in the headset. His eyes glowed menacingly, and he immediately took off the headset and placed it beside him.He looked at the cockpit and saw a frightened pilot; the copilot was already crying and hitting his head on the cockpit out of fear."Keep the plane steady, don't make any moves," he instructed them."Sir, we are going to die!" the pilot and copilot yelled fearfully.Both of them c
"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%
