That same day, very early in the evening. Two men dressed in suits holding suitcases with dark shade glasses arrived at Shelly's place. Shelly was currently taking care of her sick mother whom she hasn't told anyone about, she lacked the funds to send her to a good hospital for treatment and also she has no one to ask for money. However just when she was about to go back to think about ways to get the money, a knock came at the door and she hurried to open the door. Only to see those men who looked at her with Respectful gazes, at first she thought they were assassins or mafias because of the way they were dressed. Nowadays, they move around in suits like professionals and was she was just confused. "Miss Shelly right." They asked and she nodded while taking a gulp. "We are from O&M company." Immediately she heard that a frown appeared on her face, however she asked what really brought them here. Two men standing in front of her, both wearing dark suits and sunglasses. Shel
Ethan has been super busy for two days straight, not with anything system-related but with things involving his personal life and safety.He has enemies, and it is always best to avoid getting bested by his enemy. He left his phone on airplane mode to prevent calls, especially from Shelly.He couldn't afford to let her know what he had done for her, and because of their closeness, he might end up telling her the truth. He will do that in the future, but definitely not now.For now, he wants to make this real world safe for him.He has faced death more than two times, and he is now aware of the feelings that might arise from it. That feeling of fear and the need for salvation.That feeling is what has powered him to live his life and leave it to the fullest.Of course, he would face more dangers, and the reward is always greater, so there is really nothing to worry about.He recalled the last words he saw in the letter of his dad to his mom: his dad regretted never being able to apprec
Ethan planned to move out of this place to a bigger place where he could get enough space to train, however he decided to stay here for now. He opened his system to take a glimpse of his stats, especially his skill related stats. -Host: Ethan -Level: 12-Exp: 40500/81920-Hp: 100%(Healthy)-Mp: 1% -Wealth: $1,093,620,000-Adventures: 2-Class: Warlord[Stats] Strength: 120 | Agility: 120 Stamina: 120 | Vitality: 120Perception: 120 | Dexterity: 120 Charm: 6Luck: 5[Skills] -Heroic Martial arts (Level 4/5) -Tripple Pierce (Level 5/5)[Elemental skills] -Fireballs (F)-Flame skate (F)-Cloud of smoke (F)[Shop][Mission] [Shop][Dimensions: Locked] [Lab: Locked] 'Ever since I obtained this magic skills, I haven't been able to test it out because I'm in a real world not the other world where eventually everything is possible, a little of this fire ball can cause as little as a part of the house getting burnt or worst case it might cause an explosion.' Ethan thought to hims
Ethan finally checked his phone and was greeted with a series of messages, especially from Shelly. He sighed.He has been so occupied doing a lot of things that he forgot to check his phone.According to Shelly, she received a surprise invitation by O&M to become the new assistant manager and also the cash amount that was sent to her with the documents to start working.Ethan smiled. Since he was actually free today, he decided to pay her a visit and maybe celebrate with her if there was still more time to spend. He has already make plans to train all his magic skill in a proper place. He was working towards raising his level to level 15 so that he would be able to purchase a person dimension where he would be able to train. ..."Mom, I'm off to work." Shelly said in a cheerful voice while speaking to her mother, who is now stronger because she has taken the right medication."Okay, my daughter, please be safe and don't work yourself out. You have been working really hard the past f
Victoria's face turned pale, and anger flashed in her eyes. She clenched her fists, struggling to maintain her composure. "What do you know about Lawrence?" she spat out, trying to hide her vulnerability.Ethan chuckled and took a step closer to Victoria, his gaze piercing through her facade. "I know more than you think, Victoria. I know about your little arrangement with Lawrence, how you thought you could secure your position by being his puppet. But let me tell you something, he's done playing with you."Victoria's expression shifted from anger to desperation. "You're lying!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling slightly.Ethan's smile widened. "Am I? Ask yourself why Lawrence refused to help you get the position back, why didn't he use his family wealth to give you a chance to work here or maybe give you a position in his family business. It's because he realized you're nothing but a liability, someone easily manipulated. He saw through your schemes, Victoria."Shelly watched the i
"How was it? What did they see about my deal? Did they accept?" Ethan asked with a smug smile on his face.The manager gulped once again; this time there was a frustrated expression on his face as he looked at Ethan and muttered words that had no meaning."Ah, you see, so what I'm trying to say is that the Silverlight family is also interested in it.""Oh, so they are starting to play now, especially Lawrence.""Yes, Lawrence showed interest; he wants to buy the company." The manager quickly replied."For what reason?""I don't know; it seems he is going through some important things in his family, and he is trying to get a steady foothold in the business world.""Hahaha, then he decided to place interest in what I'm interested in very well. How much is he going to pay for the company?" Ethan asked with a smile on his face.The manager looked at Ethan; he still hadn't understood exactly what Ethan was trying to do.Or what Ethan has become ever since he came back to get Shelly her new
Ethan waited in a small tea shop outside O&M. He bought a cup of milk tea while he sat there waiting for the manager to call his cellphone and give the board's response.Ethan knew that he had shown a really unnatural side of himself to Victoria and Lawrence, but he wasn't bothered. Both of them have now become a thorn in his side, and he doesn't want to get his hands dirty while growing economically.That would not only destroy his reputation, but it would also serve as an obstruction to getting partners and growing his business in the future.Meanwhile as he sat there, Lawrence and Victoria kept threatening the manager. However, what they didn't know is that he is a man that would do anything for money. That was the only bait a fish like him will be drawn to. Threatening him is just as useless as mopping a river. He stood his ground against the two of them and told them that someone has already bid higher and that person would soon acquire the company. This irritated Lawrence to
The manager left with his head bowed to the ground in regret; he regretted his actions in the past, and his love for money has ended his career with a reputable company.Outside, he saw Victoria, who tried taunting him, but he made her know that he wasn't working for the O&M anymore.She asked why, and he told her she was the reason before leaving the area with his car.Victoria just stood there, unaware of how to respond to what he had just said. She wondered if he was just trying to pull her leg or if there was something else! But the look on his face was not that of someone joking.She wondered what might have happened.She decided to go inside.Meanwhile, inside, a meeting was initiated with the attendance of everyone present on the spot.Shelly was invited too. She has just resumed working and was concerned why a meeting was called for immediately.However, when she saw Ethan, she was a little bit relieved and curious.Jude stood beside Ethan, and both of them stood opposite the
