"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
“Meet with Gideon? I see you have gone insane! He could crush you, and you wouldn't have a voice! You can't fight against him!” James argued, trying to make a point.All his words were focused on one thing: Ethan must remain in his lane and not meet with Gideon. He was scared of the outcome, especially since Ethan was seen or perceived to be weak.“I just have to, James... This could go a long way! If I meet with Gideon, I could...” Just as Ethan was trying to explain his part of the idea, James cut in swiftly.“You could talk him into not killing you?” His eyes rolled in frustration as he struck his forehead. “Yeah, where did that get you back then in school?” James asked with a scoff.“Can you quit the act already, James! I don't like being reminded of my past!” Ethan snapped. He wasn't happy about being reminded that he was bullied by someone like Gideon back in school.“If you don't think I can do it, then sit and watch!” Ethan added angrily, and because James could sense the ange
"Meeting someone like you is not something I ever want to do," he spat out, his voice dripping with venom. "You are a waste of my time, Ethan Wills! I will never spend my precious time on you!" As Gideon spoke, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Every muscle in his body seemed to be coiled with tension, ready to snap. His dislike for Ethan ran deep, and it was clear in every word he uttered. He couldn't stand the sight of him. Ethan felt the same way about Gideon. There was a mutual hatred between them that had been simmering for a long time. Just the thought of Gideon made Ethan's blood boil. He would go to great lengths just to be able to confront him, to look him in the eye and say what needed to be said. "What do you want from me, Gideon?" Ethan demanded, his voice a mix of frustration and determination. He had a plan, a plan that could only be put into action once he was face to face with Gideon. Gideon took a deep breath, trying to control the a
"Do what you must to save those around you, Ethan Wills... this is the best thing to do! Trust me!" James said. His voice shook with both determination and worry as he tried to convince Ethan to do what he believed was right.Ethan's mind raced. "But what if it's not him? What will happen to me then?" he asked, his voice filled with fear. He was terrified of making the wrong decision, one that could either make or break him.Ethan felt the weight of his responsibilities pressing down on him. He had so many people depending on him, and he couldn't bear the thought of losing any of them. The fear of failure gnawed at him, making his heart pound faster.James's eyes were intense as he spoke again. "At least you'll know you did everything you could, Ethan. You have to go now and find out what he's up to. Who knows, he might be planning something entirely different for you!" His words hung in the air, heavy with urgency.Ethan's jaw tightened, and his hands balled into fists. He could feel
"I'll make sure you regret ever sending your men against me, Nathan! I'll make sure you regret ever coming after me. That's a promise!" Ethan's fist clenched as he declared, his eyes and anger fixed mainly on Nathan, who was still shocked to see him in his house.If there was anyone he was expecting, it definitely wasn't Ethan. He had strongly believed that Ethan was dead. He still had to put on a show to make Ethan leave his house."It's best you leave now, Ethan... leave while I'm still nice to you!" he warned. With a glare, he took a step closer to where Ethan was standing."Is that so? You want me to still torture you a bit? I can do that, you know." He sneered, and just then, Ethan had to give in, he had to listen to him.With a resigned sigh leaving his lips and a frown etched across his face, he turned on his heels and walked over to the door. Getting to the door, he halted, his head turned halfway to where Nathan stood."Trust me, Nathan... I'll make you regret every second of
