The only words that can describe what Zu Xian felt right now are fear, regret, pain, sadness, and despair.He watched 20 of his clansmen die in front of him and watched his two best friends get beheaded in front of him, and all these were done with just the simple flicking of a finger.And it all happened in just seconds.Qiao Lian and Shelly looked at Ethan with a caring expression; they don't know what has happened, but this Ethan in front of them is way more different from the sweet Ethan they used to know.Qiao Lian looked at Zu Xian; she has known this bastard for almost ten years now, and throughout this time, she has never seen him bow to anyone, not even his father or her father, the leader of the Royal clan.He has always been the hotheaded type that never gives up or bows to others; he has no respect for others except himself.With all this being said, she felt too shocked to see him kneeling with his head slightly bowed toward no other person than Ethan, the same person he
The next morning, the news of a terrorist attack spread across the country like a wildfire. Different news stations, social media channels, and even online blogs carried the story, and everyone felt obliged to listen or read it, given that it was related to one of the biggest clans in China.There hasn't been any confirmed cause of the explosion because everything burnt to the ground, not even the the strongest object in the building survived the explosion. The media took it as a terrorist attack. ⟨Just in, the next heir of the Platinum Knight clan reportedly died in the terrorist attack. This was reported around 3:34 PM...⟩ ⟨Zu Xian is dead..⟩ This particular piece of news was broadcasted everywhere.Ethan was in his hotel room with Shelly and Qiao Lian. He held a glass of wine in his hands as he listened to the news.'Serves him right. At least I left no trace of my deeds behind,' he thought to himself with a smile on his face.There was no way he would let someone like Zu Xian
The adventure around the city continued the next day, but it ended quickly because Ethan was invited by the Minister of Commerce and the Minister of Health concerning his healing elixir.He left Qiao Lian and Shelly at the hotel, where he knew they would be safe. He drove their rover car to the meeting place and got there almost immediately thanks to the GPS on the car.After alighting from the car, the two ministers and their assistant walked out to greet him."Nice to meet you, Mr. Ethan, and thank you for accepting our invite. It means more to us than you can imagine," they greeted Ethan with smiles plastered on their faces.Ethan smiled back at them and went inside with them.The meeting began, and it all revolved around his miracle medicine, the healing elixir, and then about building a good business relationship between both countries."You won't believe it, but our leader was very glad when he learned you were going to start a business firm here," the Minister of Commerce said
Inside a large office in one of the biggest entertainment companies in China, two men could be seen standing, discussing with each other.One was a young man with long hair tied into a ponytail. He had really handsome features and could even compete for a position as one of the most handsome men in China.Standing and discussing with him was a man with a really fat tummy, holding a cigarette."Director, I'm telling you I found a special lady, two special ladies actually. They are what you would consider top-class models. Not even Tasha Liyona can stand on the same ground with both of them in terms of beauty.""Uh, Su Yan, are you sure? I'll be employing my best men to get them, but it better be as you said. I don't want to expect gold and find shit. You know I would never take that lightly with you no matter what.""Have I ever given you a bad product before? At least praise me. All of them are top-notch. Even that woman who filmed the leading role of 'Seven Deep Flowers' was my recom
Qiao Lian stood there holding a cake and a trumpet, enthusiastically blowing it while shouting, "Happy Birthday!"The sudden burst of celebration filled the air as Ethan's mind raced to catch up with what was happening. In that moment, it dawned on him that today was Shelly's birthday – perhaps the reason behind her lingering dissatisfaction ever since.'I was always the first to wish her happy birthday in the past, and now I didn't even remember her birthday. I guess that's the reason she is upset.' He let out a sigh and turned to face Shelly, who was smiling at the moment.Shelly herself did not expect that Qiao Lian would keep her birthday in mind; both of them only discussed her birthday once while resting."Thank you, Qiao Lian," Shelly appreciated her friend sincerely.Ethan sheepishly scratched his wrist; he was already late in wishing her happy birthday, and she already knew he had forgotten her birthday.He walked closer
Ethan was assured by the head of the engineering team that everything would be completed within the next three days. The construction was already done, leaving only the task of maintaining the inside with whatever they can find to give it a beautiful appearance, and also increase the outer beauty.Ethan was busy creating business ideas for his new place. He wanted ro either build a telecommunication company here in China because they are mostly about technology and communication apart from their usual massive food business.Ethan might appear like your normal business man but he is more than just that, he has mastered the act of coding and programming and his mastery is ahead of others.He could build a unique app in hours and website in minutes and also he has a lot of knowledge about engineering stuff especially those about electricity.He is the type of person that deserve the name jack of all trades.'i have three valid choices or com
Two days were spent completely indoors at the hotel. There wasn't any need for Ethan to go out, and he wasn't ready to do so either.He spent his time managing some of his business, especially those in Luxuria. He also contacted his friends in Germany and inquired about materials that weren't available in China.Shelly and Qiao Lian had been indoors as well. They spent time with Ethan and even asked him to leave his laptop for an hour or two because he was too drawn to it, and he had almost not slept for two days straight.He was forced to watch a movie with them, but he found it extremely boring, especially the romance, sci-fi with strange aliens, and magical movies with demons and goblins. These were monsters he had dealt with in the past, and he knew that imagination sometimes differed from reality.The goblin they imagined was just a monster in disguise that spoke occasionally, a monster that could have a friendly relationship with certain humans sometimes, but it was far from tha
The five gunmen standing looked at Ethan with deep fear in their eyes. They, too, recognized him as the hero who appeared in Luxuria once and defeated a monster confirmed by the government to have been created by an illegal lab running in a distant country, far away from the watchful eyes of the government."Who are you? If you know what's good for you, just leave! We have guns, and we will kill you if you don't leave," they said with scared expressions."Shoot as much as you like. In fact, I personally want all of you to empty your magazines on me," Ethan deepened his voice and spoke. His voice sounded mysterious, more like the villains in Mafia movies.The gunmen gritted their teeth; they felt more threatened every second.They cocked their guns and pointed them at Ethan. Ethan smirked and muttered a spell.Immediately, his body was stylishly shrouded in a smoky mass, with the young bald-headed man in his grasp as well.The bullets drifted through the air and collided with the smoky
