“I helped him get to the top in the company and I also helped him learn about your father's company, which is about to go into ruin!”Turning toward the door, Ethan and Albert were both stunned to find James standing there, a smile curling up on his lips.Although Ethan had asked him to come to the club, he just didn't believe that he'd show up this fast.“Hello, Albert… you look surprised to see me, why is that?” James uttered as he walked over to their table, sitting beside Ethan.“I see you haven't touched your drink either…” James mumbled to Ethan.“Why are you both quiet? You’re acting as though you've seen a ghost. Come on, let's drink!” James urged, seeing how tense the room had become. He didn't like it one bit.He immediately grabbed Ethan's drink, and just as he was about to take it, Albert stopped him.“You can't walk in here and take someone else’s drink… I'll order yours!” Albert notified James, but he just wouldn't stop.Although James tried his best to look tough and ha
“I am just a useless and worthless son! I can't even help my mother! I can't keep her alive!” James cried as he kept sipping from the bottle that was right before him. The way he drank himself to stupor right before Ethan's eyes made Ethan recall how hard he had tried to save his own mother back then, how he had begged almost everyone to help or save his mother. He had begged that she stay alive just for him, but then, she died after it all. Now, Ethan wouldn't want James, his friend, to go through all of this. He wouldn't be happy to know that James would lose his own mother. It was as though his own life had been switched, and it had affected James. He felt so sad seeing James cry this way and beg to be a good son. Ethan, feeling so sad, reached for James' hand and rubbed it slightly, making him turn his gaze to him. “What is happening, James? Aren't her bills being paid? Are they not working on her?” Ethan asked, a show of concern etched across his face at this moment. “
After what felt like an eternity of driving, Ethan finally arrived at Mr. Harry's mansion with James still in the back seat, mumbling to himself.It was obvious that he kept speaking about his mother. He wasn't happy to have her in such a situation. He was weak.“Sir, what do we do next?” Ethan's driver asked, snapping him from a trance as he kept staring at James. Slowly, Ethan lifted his gaze and turned to his driver, who had his attention on him.“We have to get him back into the house; I'm pretty sure that his mother and father would be worried sick to know his whereabouts!” Ethan explained, and with a nod, his driver opened the door and climbed out of the car.He walked over to the back door, and opening it, he pulled James out of the car. He was going to help James get into the house, but Ethan couldn't let that happen.‘I called him out, I should be responsible for bringing him back home’ he thought inwardly as he walked over to his driver, who had already begun taking James to
The moment Ethan stood to his feet, he grabbed their hands, twisted them, and placed them right behind each of their backs. They were bigger than him, but that didn't stop Ethan.Seeing that they couldn't hold in the pain anymore, they went on their knees, their brows creased with pain as they begged to be set loose.“What is happening?” Mr. Harry's eyes broadened as he stood still in shock.“I am the CEO of the Newhope company, and as it stands, I am to be respected and not to be held captive by any of these men.“I decide what happens, so if you don't mind, Mr. Harry, I'd like you to control your dogs!” Ethan declared as if he were the boss of the house at this point.Mr. Harry didn't want to lose his men, so he had to let Ethan have his way.“Fine, let them go!” He let them out, and because Ethan had no evil intentions against them, he let go of their hands.The second he did, they wasted no time standing to their feet and rushing out of the house. Mr. Harry was scared of him a bit
In this case, one could tell that sleeping would definitely mean Ethan trying so hard to forget his problems. It would mean Ethan not being capable of solving the problem that is right before him.With Ethan's hand placed on his forehead while he lay on his bed, he had his eyes fixed right to the roof in his room. If there was anything he wanted dearly, it was to see James happy, it was to be aware that James's mother was fine, strong, and healthy just as she has always been.Heavy sighs left Ethan's lips as he turned on his bed, his thoughts slamming with several problems that he just wasn't sure how he'd solve each of them.“What have I done to him, why do I feel sad?” Ethan mumbled as he stayed on his bed, his eyes becoming moist every second of the day.“If I hadn't reincarnated, maybe he would have lived a good life, maybe he would be okay… Why did I reincarnate only to find out that my best friend in my second life had taken my fate? Why the hell!”He sniffled as he sat up on hi
The second Ethan got into his office, he threw his briefcase onto his chair and walked over to the window, his hand placed on his waist as he kept staring out of it. His thoughts were all over the place as his system words kept coming into his head.“Weaklings? What's the fucking difference between you and the other bullies?” He scoffed, his eyes fixed outside of the company.Just as he was still trying to get his head together, a knock came at the door, pulling him out of his thoughts.The second he turned around, he found James standing right before his door but with a smile on his lips at this moment.One thing was certain, he couldn't say no to him, he couldn't tell him that he wasn't going to carry out the plan he had assured him all night that he'd carry out.With a tightened fist, Ethan nodded his head, a smirk on his lips as he knew what was going to happen next.“Just the right person at the right time!” He mumbled before he spoke up.“Come in!” He commanded and James, hearin
It was finally the day, the day that Ethan, James, and his father had been waiting for. They were to go see Miles and bring him to help James' mother.Although Ethan wasn't that close to Miles and he was certain that he'd face an insult from Miles before being listened to, Ethan was willing to do it; he was willing to go.He wasn't sure why the RRS system had kept warning him all night not to go, but he wasn't going to look back. He had assumed it to be that the RRS system was just strict and wanted him to base his life on revenge alone.Just as Ethan's thoughts were on the task ahead, his phone vibrated, pulling his attention towards it. The second he picked it up, he saw that it was James who was calling him.“Hello, Sir,” James started the second that Ethan picked up the call, placing it to his ear.“Is there a problem, James?” Ethan panicked for a second, thinking that his mother might have died just as they were getting prepared to leave for Doctor Miles.“What? No, no problem at
“Master! The spies that were sent have returned with words that they've moved out of Mr. Harry's mansion!” A hefty man rushed into the house, bowing his head before a masked man who was playing chess alone at the table.A sneer curled up on his lips as he was satisfied with the information he had just received from one of his men. He had sent men to trail Ethan, and he'd do just anything to make sure that he'd end Ethan's life.“That's good...” he emitted, his voice carrying a sense of anger and deceit as he focused on the chess game.“What are we going to do next, Master? We are waiting for your response and order!”“Where are they now?” The masked man asked, and with a bow, his servant responded to him.“They are at the bridge, sir!”“That's good then. Once they cross the bridge, attack, and remember, do not leave any of them breathing!” He gave his command, making his servant snap his gaze to him with his eyes bulging out.“Is there a problem?” He paused his chess game as he lifted
