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
Shelly folded her hands, waiting for an explanation from Ethan."How about we go somewhere more quiet?" Ethan said it with a smile on his face."It's still work hours; I can't leave," she replied."I'm the boss now; you can have as many breaks as you want." Ethan smiled as he said that."That's not enough." She said it with a straight face."Ok then, how about we take out both your congratulations for double promotion and my congratulations for owning O&M?" Ethan suggested it with a smile."What do you mean?" She asked. "You see. O&M have no manager at the moment, and you're the only one I trust and the only one I'm sure would be able to handle that position. Alright, we are friends.""Friends?" Shelly muttered lowly before replying with a smile. "Okay, I accept." She finally agreed.Ethan asked Jude to watch over the place while he was away, and he tipped his old time buddy with a sum of ten thousand dollars before leaving with Shelly in the ride he had booked.As Ethan and Shelly s
Ethan spent more than a week in the company monitoring the activities and also discussing a lot of changes that would be made to the company in the long run. With the minds of Shelly and the legal backing of Jude, his growth was sure to go a long way. Victoria and her "boyfriend" haven't visited to make trouble for the past week. Ethan was worried about the safety of Shelly and her mother so he moved them to new part of town. In the CrestGold estate where she would be safeguarded by trustworthy personalities and security personnels. Also he helped his buddy Jude to settle a few things which requires money, he also bumped a lot of money into O&M. They bought new vehicles and hired more delivery guy with above average pay that would make them not to think about quitting their job. They increased production and spent money on advertisement. Ethan even personally designed a website a good app to keep things running from them. Also they used medias like TV channels to boost their
[Mission available] [Mission: Dungeon of flame monster, Grade: B] [Reward: $200 Million.] [Penalty: - $250 Million] [Duration: 3 days] 'Finally a mission.' Ethan sighed in relief. Then he gave his orders to his workers that he would he away for 3 days and left the company under the leadership of Jude his lawyer and Shelly his manager. Ethan arrived at his place. First off he scroll through the shop to see if there was anything new. Actually there was, there a sword called the Flame King signature. It was was a weapon compatible with flame magic. He also purchase a set of armors. Healing potion and all the potions available at the moment. Afterwards, he accepted the mission and the portal appeared in front of him and he walked inside the portal and was led into a dungeon. The moment Ethan stepped into the portal, a rush of heat washed over him. The air crackled with the energy of flames, and the surroundings transformed into a dimly lit dungeon filled with molten lava stream
With a leap of faith, Ethan propelled himself through the air, narrowly reaching the next platform as the one behind him disintegrated into the fiery abyss below. He landed with a slight stumble but quickly regained his balance, the urgency of the situation fueling his determination.The floating rocky platforms continued to crumble and fall, disappearing into the molten lava with a sizzling sound. Ethan's heart raced as he surveyed the remaining platforms, realizing that the path ahead was becoming increasingly precarious. He knew he had to act swiftly and accurately to avoid the same fate as the crumbling rocks.Gathering his focus, Ethan calculated his next move. He took a deep breath, his mind sharp and his reflexes primed. With a burst of agility, he sprinted towards the next platform, his muscles straining with exertion. As the platform beneath his feet began to crumble, he propelled himself into the air, his body soaring through the heat-filled chamber.Time seemed to slow down

One week later...The voice of one of the world's most famous reporters, Collin Graven, filled the studio: "Our Earth has been on the verge of breakdown due to the appearance of monsters. We almost watched the downfall of our graceful planet, but then our own hero showed up, Ethan Silvermore, the business king, now the hero king, saved our world. He invited his hero friends, and they all saved our worlds together. Today, we have Ethan Silvermore in the studio with us."The camera pointed at Ethan, his hair had returned to black, but there were glowing traces of red in it, giving him a look that far outmatched any earthly look.Ethan smiled.Collin Graven: "Hero King, on behalf of the whole world, I would love to say thank you for saving us. And thanks for gracing our studio with your godly presence."Ethan nodded his head but didn't respond."We heard that you have news to share with us."Ethan nodded and then he turned to look at the camera."My friends have decided to hasten the reb
Shelly and Qiao Lian were in a room with the dragoon division. The TV was on, and they were currently watching the news from the world's biggest news station.On the TV screen, Ethan could be seen standing in the midst of many portals from which heroes emerged. These heroes seemed to be respectful towards Ethan.The scene changed, and now there was live footage from Luxuria. Ethan's right hand was stretched towards the monsters, and a serpent formed from his hands attacked the monsters.Qiao Lian and Shelly watched with wide eyes.'Magic!'They didn't know how to explain the feeling they felt right now, it wasn't fear or anything but more like admiration, one that is peculiar to any human who sees someone superior.Meanwhile, at the moment, Ethan had completed taking care of the monsters in Japan, China, and Luxuria. His next destination was Mexico.After arriving in Mexico, he discovered that all the monsters had been slain already, and then he saw Silver Amon flying towards him."I
Ethan looked at the corpses of the monsters he had slain in another big city in China. He had been able to clear all the monsters from China in just one hour while waiting for the call portal to awaken."System, how many minutes remaining before the call portal appears in the other world?"[2 minutes and 30 seconds remaining. The portal would appear in those worlds in that time, and thirty seconds after that, the Chosens will arrive in your world.]Ethan nodded his head. He went on to pick all the monster cores and absorbed the powers in them.His mana residue kept expanding, thus the amount of mana he could have in his mana reserve increased.'I have been able to clear all the monsters, more than one thousand have faced death through my hands,' Ethan sighed.'But there are monsters in other countries. My speed can get me from China to the next country in just thirty minutes, but let's say I only need thirty minutes to travel to forty countries, that would mean I would need almost a d
"Defend Earth from the chaos demon race, what is happening?" Ethan thought to himself.Just then, the phone in his spatial ring started giving off a lot of beep sounds as different notifications began to pop up on his phone. He picked up the phone and scrolled through the articles.Just the heading alone gave him a little bit of insight about everything going on right now.[Strange monster sighting in Luxuria][Is this end of the world as weapons don't work on these monsters?][The world has been invaded by monsters, humanity has now become the weakest.][Owen Penber and his boss have been killed by monsters.][THE WORLD HAS ENDED... click here to read more.]Ethan's eyes began to widen in total surprise. He had just returned from a deadly mission and was greeted with the destruction of his world."I have to act fast. Shelly and Qiao Lian, I hope nothing has happened to you two."At this stage, Ethan was no longer hiding his powers. He took off into the air, using his mana to make his
Several days ago on Earth.In the heart of China, the skyline that was once dominated by towering skyscrapers now served as a grim backdrop for an apocalyptic battle.The monstrous creatures, with their grotesque forms and menacing roars, emerged from the depths of the Earth, shattering the calm of the city. These behemoths, each one larger than the tallest buildings, wreaked havoc wherever they went.As the news of the monsters' rampage spread across the globe, governments scrambled to respond. In a desperate bid to protect their people, nations pooled their resources and expertise, forming an international coalition.The Chinese government, being at the epicenter of the crisis, took charge of the situation. They mobilized their military forces, deploying troops armed with the latest technology and weaponry.The monsters, however, were not easily deterred. They crushed everything in their path, reducing once-bustling metropolises to mere rubble.As the world watched in horror, the mo
The battlefield was set for the only two contestants of the title of supreme. One was a human who had grown past the expectations of humans, and the other was the heir to the rulership of a world.'I have seen him fight. I'm sure that he is pretty strong. It would be a pretty difficult fight, but losing is not an option,' Ethan thought to himself.Silver Amon grinned, "I have been waiting to fight you ever since your name showed up above mine in the simulated kingdom results. I want to see how strong you are. You might have been able to conquer those kingdoms with wisdom, but let's see how you fight me."Ethan didn't respond as he waited for the battle to begin.And it began...Silver Amon made the first move, his body sweating out a weird liquid which took the shape of two swords that Silver Amon held in his hands.Ethan also brought out his Flame King Sword, and both of them clashed.The battlefield stretched out before them, a vast expanse of scorched earth and remnants of previous
Ethan and the other system users arrived in the same place they found themselves before the beginning of the hell scenario, this place was bitch black in color, it was more like the dark of the night but weirdly they were still able to see themselves. Elfina was standing beside Ethan as the result was called out, Ethan stood there and watched, his name was at the top of the list followed by silver Amon, strangely, Elfina was right beside Amon in the ranking. [The top 16 would be selected to the participate in the last challenge to prove who is the sovereign of all Chosen..] [As for those with lower ranks, you will be sent back to your world with the said rewards, However you can choose to watch the challenge of the top 16 and see who emerges at the top.] The same voice announced. All the system users decided to wait behind, if they leave now, they will never be able to know who emerges as the sovereign of them all. [For the final challenge, it would be a battle between all of yo
