"Sir!! Sir Ethan!?" Ethan's driver called as he shook Ethan's unconscious body on the ground. At this point, Mr. Harry was already bleeding profusely, and Ethan couldn't utter a single word. They were both mute and immoveable."I have to hurry! I must get them to a safe place… To a hospital at least!"*********The beeping sound of the life machine in the room, produced by the Newhope Robotics Company, echoed loudly, causing throbbing aches for Ethan.Opening his eyes slowly, he was first welcomed by the noisy beeping sound, followed by the stench of blood and drugs oozing in his room."Where am I?" he mumbled, trying to get a hint of where exactly he was. Slowly, his head tilted to the left, and just then, he caught sight of drugs and a syringe on the nightstand closer to him."What the hell happened?" He sat up slowly in confusion, but at that moment, throbbing aches overwhelmed him, making him clench his head tightly and shut his eyes in intense pain."Fuck!! Help!" he gritted, the
“No, Ethan, I should be blamed for this, for everything that is happening! My mother is dying, and my father is in this state. I shouldn't have let him go alone… I just shouldn't have!” James mumbled softly, his heart bleeding and racing with fear of what might happen next to him or his father.At first, he was scared of losing his mother, but as it stood now, it was obvious that his father could die before his mother, which would break him down immediately.“No, James… don't say that, don't blame yourself for anything. I was there, and I couldn't save him from those men. I should be killed myself!” Ethan walked over to where James was seated and with a heavy sigh leaving his lips, he placed his hand right on James' shoulder, feeling bad for him, feeling bad for everything that had happened.“You don't get it, Ethan… if only I was…” He was going to keep talking, but at that moment, Ethan was sick and tired of hearing James cry like he was some little kid.“I promise to find out who at
Exiting the hospital, a Rolls Royce Phantom car stormed up before Ethan. His car had been replaced a few minutes after the attack.With a sneer tugging at the side of his lips, he nodded his head, his hand plunging into his pockets as he stared at the new baby before him.“I'll make you pay dearly… I just can't wait to find out who you truly are!” Ethan mumbled before he lifted his face to his driver, who had opened the door for him to get into the car.The second he got into the car, his driver shut the door, running over to his side to open it, get into the car, and ignite the engine.They were about to leave when Ethan turned to look out of the window. Right before him, by the door, stood James with a sad look on his face.“I'll do what's right this time, James! I will!” Ethan mumbled to himself before he darted his gaze away from where James stood.“Let's go!” he commanded his driver, who immediately nodded his head and zoomed out of sight, stepping on the accelerator.Ethan itche
“There must be a change of assistant! He isn't functioning as he should, Sir Ethan, and there must be a change!” One of the executives declared, making Ethan's brows furrow immediately as he stared at the man who had spewed such nonsense from his mouth.They would have just discussed something else. Something that didn't have to involve Ethan changing his assistant. Something that shouldn't have to do with Ethan changing James.James was the main reason why Ethan had escaped death for the first time. James was his best friend and more like family. James, above all, was the only one that he could trust, and as it stood right now, there was definitely no way he was going to push him aside and pick up some new stranger that he knew nothing about.“I am not changing my assistant, and that is final! He stays with me, and that is the end of it all!” Ethan stood his ground.He couldn't believe that Mr. Han had come to the company just to do one thing: discuss changing his assistant.Mr. Han
"Take me to Mr. Harry's mansion right now!” Ethan commanded, and just as he had pressed for, his driver drove over to Mr. Harry's home.The minute they got there, Ethan headed straight for the door. He reached for the doorbell, pressed it twice, and the door finally opened.“Sir Ethan?” James exclaimed softly, his eyes widening in shock at seeing Ethan at the door. At this moment, James wasn't expecting to find Ethan at their house because Ethan had clearly stated that he had a meeting with the executives.“Why didn't you tell me that you were coming back home?” Ethan asked. He wasn't mad at James; he was just worried sick.He had prayed silently that James and Mr. Harry were okay and nothing more.“You seemed busy and I didn't want to disturb you. Besides, you…” Just as James was about to continue, Ethan cut in, halting his statement.“Don't ever say such, James! You don't and will never be a bother to me. Is that clear?” Ethan briefly warned, and James nodded his head although he wa
“I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I want to go through the dangers to find anyone!” James admitted, and without a second thought, he climbed out of the car. He was just scared, and he hoped that Ethan would understand that.He wanted Ethan to look at his own aspect of life. How uncomfortable it was going to make him. Just as he was walking back into his house, Ethan stormed out of the car and rushed towards him.He just wasn't going to let James leave that way. He needed James. He needed him to do what was right.“What is it again, Ethan?” James grumbled as he found Ethan standing right before him.“Let's make a comeback, James… please! We must find out who did this to me, who did this to your father!” Ethan let out, knowing that it would provoke James at this moment.He was already angry that his father was weak, so it was definitely going to give him the anger he needed to accept the deal with Ethan.“And what if the plan doesn't work out? What if they come to me!” James sounded a bit wo
“But it is Mr. Han that is on the screen!” Ethan said, trying his best to get the perfect explanation from James.“Because he is on the screen doesn't mean that he is the one behind all of this… someone else is doing this!” he explained briefly before shutting the laptop.“That should be all for today, Ethan… I think it's time you head back home. I'm pretty sure my mom will be waiting for me!” James stated, and immediately, Ethan understood what he was trying to say to him.“Fine! I'll let you have your rest, but that doesn't mean we won't find them. I promise to help resolve the crisis in your family soon, James!” he tapped him on the shoulder with his lips pursed.With a final bow, James opened the door and left, heading right for his house. Seeing that he had gone, his driver didn't hesitate to climb into the car.“Let's go!” Ethan commanded, and with a swift nod, the engine of the car was ignited. Without a second thought, his driver stepped on the accelerator, propelling them for
“What do you mean we are all at huge risk? Last I checked, I asked you to tell me who had attacked me, not to give me reasons to be scared! I need you, RRS, and you are not helping matters right now!”Ethan snapped as he got nervous. If there was anything that he disliked at this moment, it was definitely the fact that he was beginning to lose his essence. He was trembling, and that wasn't what he wanted.[Host needs to be calm and listen to the system! Remember the promise? You must do as the system says.]The mechanical voice in his head echoed, trying to make him understand its first statement to him.“If you want me to be calm, why don't you tell me what you meant? I hate it so much when I am spoken to in words that I barely understand! I'm waiting, RRS!” Ethan stated. Just then, what was before his eyes changed, being swiped to an image of a man's back.“Another confusing image!” Ethan scoffed, rolling his eyes in exhaustion.“You know, if you don't want to tell me who it was, I
