2024-06-23 03:24:10Everyone halted as they heard that shrill voice. They were quite surprised and of course, they wanted to continue to watch the scene being displayed.
Ethan turned around to see Becca staring at him with a livid look. But she folded her arms, trying to look sassy. “Did you just speak to me?” Ethan asked, wondering if she had gone nuts to demand an explanation now. “Yes, I did. And I am asking you to explain yourself this instant.” Becca replied and Ethan frowned in displeasure. He used to look at Becca as a classy girl but now she paled in comparison. She didn't even care if everyone was looking at her weirdly. “What is there to explain?” Ethan asked with a shrug of his shoulders. He looked like he wasn't bothered and he just wanted to leave but then Becca wouldn't let him. “You are asking me that? You lied to me all these while and never even told me you had money. You gave me just measly amounts and now you show up as an honored guest of The Star Hotel. Of course, you do owe me an explanation!” She thundered and there was some buzzing noise in the lobby. However, Ethan stood there with his hands crossed behind his back. At first, a smile formed on his face, and then he laughed out loud. His laughter was filled with mockery and disdain. “Becca…” He called out to her as his laughter seized and now he was looking at her with an indifferent look. She stepped back with a fearful look on her face as she had never seen Ethan look at her that way. “You were never appreciative of whatever I did for you. Tell me, why should I tell you I am rich? So you could suck me dry?” He asked and then a sarcastic smile formed on his face and then low chuckles. “You…” Becca let out, shaking with anger while she pointed a shaky finger at Ethan. She was tempted to poke his eyes to stop him from laughing. She looked around and surprisingly, almost everyone started to point fingers at Becca now, calling her a gold digger. Those people were accusing Ethan of being a thief a while ago and now the tables had turned. This only meant that power and money ruled the majority of people. “Manager Thorn, this drama is getting too much,” Ethan said while he waved his hands nonchalantly, signaling that he wanted them out. “Yes, Mr. Ethan,” Thorn replied and immediately he beckoned on the receptionist to get the security guards. Two minutes later, three security guards came rushing into the lobby. “Mr. Bastien, Miss Becca, everyone else, please leave.” The receptionist spoke this time and Becca saw the security guards coming for them. She ran to meet Ethan, falling at his feet as she didn't want to be thrown out. “Please, Ethan. Forgive me. I will do whatever you want. Please don't throw me out.” She pleaded, holding onto his legs. She recalled how Ethan used to love her so much and she believed he would hear her out. He couldn’t have gotten over her, in just a few days, right? “Becca! Stop this!” Ray called out from behind, shocked that she switched sides so quickly. “I love you.” She let out coyly, looking up at Ethan and totally ignoring Ray. Ethan looked down at her with a slight smile on his face and Becca was glad that he was melting. She held onto him tighter. Again, everyone watched to see the show unfold. Slowly, Ethan took hold of Becca and raised her up while still maintaining his smile. At this point, Becca was giddy and she was sure he was going to take her back. She tried to hug him while she sent a glare across to Ray who was shaking in embarrassment. However, Ethan pushed her with so much force, that she was sent crashing into Ray’s body. “Get her out! This instant!” He ordered and the guards all chorused their acceptance in unison. They dragged Becca alongside her companions while she screamed and tossed around, calling and cursing at Ethan. “This way, please, Mr. Ethan,” Thorn spoke up as Becca and Ray were being escorted out of the lobby while other guests settled down. Ethan followed after Thorn as if he took no part in what just happened. Soon, they were all in the manager’s office and he brought out several documents for the hotel. Apart from the main branch of The Star Hotel which they were in, the hotel had several branches outside the city and even outside the country. “Please, sign these and we will be done. A detailed report of the hotel’s affairs will be compiled and sent to your email soon.” Thorn explained as Ethan scanned through the change of ownership documents. It was surreal to him but it was indeed happening. He was no longer going to be a worker who lived from paycheck to paycheck. “All done,” Ethan said as he signed the last part of his document. “I look forward to working with you, boss.” Thorn stood up and bowed slightly and Ethan just waved his hand, dismissing him. After all that, he walked out of the office and out of the hotel. Thorn had already booked a ride for him since he didn't come with a car. Ethan got out of the hotel to see the car waiting for him by the roadside. However, a few steps away from the car, five men rushed out, blocking him from getting to the car and five other men blocked him from getting back into the hotel.

Ethan was a bit surprised to see ten men surrounding him and he couldn't recognize any of them. They were scary-looking and he was sure he didn't have a deal with any gang in the past. But then he pieced the recent events together and he realized he had just kicked out someone from the hotel. The men were slowly advancing toward him and his eyes dimmed. After a major breakthrough in his life, he just wanted to celebrate and not deal with some brainless idiots.“Step aside.” He said to the men before him and he tried to walk past them. “Where do you think you are going, loser?” One of them who was a bit huge stopped Ethan. He towered over Ethan, wanting to intimidate him but Ethan only chuckled since he wasn't scared. But then he still maintained his cool and tried to leave but a familiar voice resounded behind him.“Running away now, Mr. Ethan?” Ray Bastien asked as the five men behind Ethan cleared the way for him. Becca was walking behind him with a troubled look on her face and
My Rich Harem System Defeating Ten Men
At Ray’s order, the ten men surrounded Ethan while Ray dragged Becca to the side. Ethan looked at the men and he tried to determine how long it would take to beat them all. His current fighting skills could suffice and he became even more confident and then a smile crept on his face making the men livid. “Why are you smiling? Are you happy about your upcoming death?” One of the men asked and Ethan’s smile turned wider. It was the same huge man who blocked him and he walked toward the huge guy. “I will like to go against you first.” Ethan suggested and the huge guy laughed. He was looking down at Ethan who was just up to his bulgy chest. He then waved at the other men, telling them to step back. “Alright.” The huge guy said.“I will let everyone watch how I crush you with my bare hands.” He added while he cracked his knuckles. Ethan took a step back to observe his opponent and seeing the bulging muscles on his arms and chest as well as the swelling and redness on his body, Ethan im
My Rich Harem System Arrested
“Ethan Blackwood! You are under arrest for assault and for constituting a nuisance! Do not move!” As police officers surrounded Ethan and Ray, one of them rushed out to cuff Ethan while he frowned. “I think you are mistaken here, police officers. I was only defending myself. This is self-defense.” Ethan replied while pulling his hand away from the officer trying to cuff him. “I'm sorry, Mr. Ethan but that is for us to decide. We received a call and you were specifically named. If you resist arrest, we would have no choice but to use violence.” The police officer warned, trying to get Ethan’s hands again but he slipped away. “And I say this is self-defense! You can check the CCTV footage around. And if at all I have to go to the police station, he has to come with me!” Ethan declared firmly while pointing at Ray who was leaning on his car. “Or else, I'm going to resist this arrest, since I am not at fault here.” He added and the police officer went silent, looking at his colleague.
My Rich Harem System Erin
“What is going on here?” She asked, staring at Ethan with a serious face. “Let him go.” She added, pointing at the detective who was trying to get away from Ethan. “Why should I? He is trying to pin a crime on me.” Ethan retorted angrily. “We will find out about that but you have to let him go, or else we will charge you for assaulting a police officer!” She declared firmly. Ethan's eyes dimmed knowing she was right, even though he acted in self-defense toward Ray, it wasn't the same here with the detective. He let out a sigh and let go of the officer with the officer scrambling to stand behind the female officer. “So what is it now? Are you letting me go?” Ethan asked and went back to sit on his chair while he folded his arms. “I am Erin, the chief detective here and I will interrogate you from now on.” She replied while she looked around the office. “Did he do this?” Erin asked the officer behind her, pointing at the broken table. The officer nodded, frantically and Er
My Rich Harem System Threats
The interrogation was silent for a moment but Ethan seemed to be intrigued and at the same time, shocked that she would say something like that. “Are police officers allowed to strike deals with offenders?” Ethan asked with raised brows as he folded his arms. “Well, we can. As long as the offender is innocent. In this case, you are.” She said but Ethan could see the skepticism in her eyes. “Then why am I here? I could sue the force for locking me here without evidence. You wouldn't want me to do that, right?” Ethan asked, a little threat laced in his voice. Of course, he wasn't going to do that, he was just subtly letting her know that she should tread carefully. With or without her deal, he could be out of there. “Yes, I know and that is why I want to make a deal with you. “ She replied, with a knowing look and Ethan nodded, pleased that she was a quick one. “So, spill your terms.” He uttered. At his words, Erin looked tense as she tapped her fingers on her thighs. She
My Rich Harem System Undercover Roles
The police officer’s words boomed throughout the interrogation room and Erin turned to look at Ethan with a smile on her face. “I guess this is fate.” She said while she winked at me but Ethan’s gaze turned serious and disapproving. “I hope this is not what I am thinking?” He asked with raised brows. “Of course, it is. We made a deal, remember and I will need your help on this raid because of how dangerous it is.” She explained and Ethan shook his head. “No. I am just being released you have not released me yet and now you want me to go straight into a raid. Does that sound okay to you?” Ethan asked, calmly as he wasn’t even willing to change his mind about not going on that raid. He needed time to himself. “Well, this is urgent and in the police force, you have to be quick on your feet,” Erin replied, with a shrug of her shoulders. “But. I am not in the force, You can’t order me anyhow you want. Also, I get to decide what raid I would go to…” Ethan put out his words which
My Rich Harem System Key, Arraign, Program And Use
Erin was twitching continuously as she drove out of the streets and towards Gas Arc. The kiss had caught her off guard and she couldn’t even think so well anymore but she tried to focus on the road. As they approached Gas Arc, Ethan’s face turned serious. “Stop.” He ordered and Erin pressed the brakes as quickly as she could. “What was that for?” She screamed while she glared at him scornfully. “I don’t think we should go in with our car. We can walk there.” He suggested and then pointed at the road leading to the main area of the Gas arc. “Look, the roads are untarred and no one in his right mind would go there with a car. It would raise suspicions.” He explained further and Erin nodded, impressed by his fast-thinking ability. “Send a message to your colleagues. Tell them to stay a bit close to Gas arc and you would tell them when to show up exactly.” He ordered and Erin nodded her head. She had unconsciously made Ethan take the lead but it didn’t matter because they were working
My Rich Harem System Take Them All
“Oh, I guess the boss is satisfying himself.”“He does that once in a while,” Ire said awkwardly. “I suggest we stay here until the boss finishes.” He added. Ethan and Erin’s head whipped to look at themselves and then they turned to look at the door again. A young lady was screaming her lungs out and it was obvious she was in distress.They turned to look at themselves again, in horror, wondering what they would do. Their hands were tightened and they breathed heavily, unable to control their anger. “Shit!” Erin cussed as she couldn't take it anymore. She left Ethan’s side, pushed past Ire, and stormed through the door. Her eyes widened to see that it was well well-furnished office with a large table in the center. A naked girl was on the table, bleeding from her nether regions and as Erin was about to speak up, the boss stood away from the girl, naked, smiling at Erin. “You…” Erin was about to lash out but she suddenly felt a hand around her shoulders, willing her to stop.

Fence Spikes
[Attention Ethan Blackwood, a new mission has appeared.] As Ethan was running around to get to the warehouse in time, he received a summon from the system. He had to halt his steps in order to listen well. [Kill Lucas. You have Three hours to complete this mission. Otherwise, you will face consequences.] “What?” Ethan gasped, in shock. “You can’t give me such a task! Lucas’ life is not up to me!” He retorted, a bit angry. Yes, it was the first time the system had asked him to kill a person but now, he wasn't the only one involved with Lucas. Mr. Dane would definitely be suspicious if Lucas just dropped dead. [You can’t dispute the instructions of the system, Ethan Blackwood.] At those words, Ethan let out a sigh, feeling deflated. He didn't know how to go about such a thing but no matter what happened, he would rather take out Lucas than face the consequences of the system. He was still contemplating what to do when he received an urgent message from Mason. He needed to be at
The Warehouse 2
“Get out! You bitch!” Lucas dragged Chloe out of the car as soon as they got to the warehouse. Just at that moment, Chloe’s arm scraped on the edge of the door, creating a cut so deep she screamed out. “Lucas, please...I am in pain…” Her voice was high, echoing throughout the abandoned and silent area. And this irked Lucas to the bone. “Shut up!” He yelled, snarling at her. He looked down at her arm which was now bleeding profusely but he didn't care. He continued to drag her, wanting to finish up everything quickly. The warehouse was located in one of the abandoned cities around and as they got away from the car, Chloe had a flash of memories.She had been at that location many times, in which she had lost count. Anytime she stepped foot there, she was haunted by the abandoned buildings surrounded by thick bushes and the sound of the creeping animals.However, the warehouse was a whole different structure and as Lucas dragged her down the bushpath leading to the building, hot fa
The Warehouse
Ethan swiped his hand through his hair messily, feeling like his plan was crumbling before his eyes. He had to make sure Chloe was alright before they even continued their plan and if everything went haywire, their cooperation with Mr. Dane would go down the drain. “Should we go in to check on her?” Mason asked. “No.” Ethan shook his head, and while on the phone, he had to think quickly on his feet. If they swooped in to save Chloe, Lucas would definitely connect the dots and again, their plan would go down the drain. “Let’s distract Lucas.” He said. “Send a quick message to him, that there will be a meeting with the elders,” Ethan ordered. He originally wanted to leave Lucas out but now, he had to restrategize. This way, Lucas would at least let Chloe be. “Do it now,” Ethan ordered as he looked down at the wristwatch in his hand. The meeting would be held that night but then, it would force Lucas to hasten his work. At this, Ethan paced around the living area in the mansion, as
I Want To Be The Only Woman
“I demand to know what is going on, Ethan!” Erin kept humming and buzzing around Ethan and he was tired of ignoring her. He had been sitting in silence in the living area, holding onto his phone while he waited on Chloe to alert him if something too dangerous was going on. “I have nothing to say to you.” Ethan stood up to his feet and didn't even take a glance at Erin before turning toward the stairs, so he could go to his bedroom. All he wanted was to keep her safe and that was why he had sent her to a hiding place but she was never going to understand his actions and he wasn't ready to explain to her unless the plan he had set out had worked out. Erin watched him leave, her eyes on his muscular back and she hated the fact that he was hiding something from her especially when it came to a woman.The fear that someone would take her place or be one of Ethan’s women was eating her up, deep inside. At that thought, she went after him, blocking him at the foot of the stairs. “You hav
Chloe Is Doomed
In Lucas’ car, he made sure to strap Chloe to a seat belt as his driver drove speedily out of the mansion. While Chloe was calm, she couldn't help the feeling of dread that rose up in her heart. By her side, Lucas sat, breathing heavily with a deep frown on his face. He was still angry and she dared not to make a sound. However, Lucas wasn't going to keep quiet for long. “What did that bastard say to you?” Lucas began. “Where did he take you? Why didn't you call me to come save you? Did he take your phone too, because I couldn't track you?” He bombarded her with a series of questions but Chloe did not even know which to answer first. “Answer me!” He spat at her, his impatience growing. Chloe flinched, forcing a stream of tears down her eyes, “I don’t… I didn't do anything with him, Lucas. He took my phone and told me not to call you. After begging him, he decided to give me back to you.”“Hmmph.” Lucas sneered, not believing her one bit. “You are a liar, woman!”Chloe flinched a
The Version Of A Weak Woman
All eyes turned on Lucas’ car and instantly, Chloe turned tense and Erin frowned, wondering what was going on. Chloe never expected that Lucas would arrive so fast. They called him to meet up with them at the mansion and his worry that his plans wouldn't go well pushed him to be there in time. On the other hand, Erin saw that Lucas was rushing toward them angrily and she knew that something was wrong. She was quite aware that Lucas worked with Ethan but she didn't know the ropes of it. “You bastard!” Lucas came rushing at Ethan, his hand fisted, and was ready to throw his punch but Mason stepped in immediately, throwing him off with full force. Lucas staggered, his burly body no match for Mason’s force and he knew not to go in for another attack, so he yelled instead. “Where did you take her?” He yelled at Ethan and in the next second, he went ahead to grab Chloe and nobody stopped him. “You bitch! What were you trying to prove? You want to run away from me?” He glared at her, hi
The Fear Of Abuse
Ethan, Mr. Dane, and Chloe had already finalized how they were going to move later that day and now he was back in the car with Chloe by his side. However, she was not acting like she did earlier. She comported herself while she looked out of the window with a worried and scared look as the car drove out. They were not on their way back to the penthouse, but Ethan’s mansion. “What are you scared for?” Ethan asked. His fingers tapping impatiently on his tighs. “I'm tense, scared of what is going to happen later.” Chloe let out a heavy sigh and then she looked at Ethan with tears in his eyes. “Why are you scared all of a sudden? We already made arrangements and you can’t back out.” Ethan frowned, his voice sounding stern and controlling. But Chloe didn't fault him for that as she nodded in understanding, “I know. But I know Lucas will stop at nothing to get what he wants. If he sees me now and takes me away, the moment I am out of your sight, things might happen…”Her voice suddenl
Mr. Dane’s Shock
Ethan walked Chloe to the car, where Mason was waiting. He got the car door open for them and as they got in, Chloe made sure to scoot closer to Ethan, as if the car was cramped. “What are you doing?” Ethan asked, with a displeased gaze. “Nothing. Just sitting.” Chloe shrugged, with an innocent smile. She acted like everything was going well, whereas, she was sitting dangerously close to him. Ethan took a deep breath, not wanting to be very harsh, he gently pushed her away from him. However, the stern look on his face was silently letting her know to behave. And with a frown on Chloe’s face, she finally sat a few distance away from him. Thirty minutes passed and Mason stopped the car at the entrance of Mr. Dane’s villa. “Why are we meeting at his house?” Ethan frowned. “Privacy,” Mason replied, curtly however, Ethan understood immediately. They all got down from the car and Mr. Dane was waiting already. He came forward to greet Ethan and was quite surprised that Ethan was so yo
Suspicious Aria
Time had passed and Ethan was dressed, ready to meet up with Mason to go for the meeting with Mr. Dane. “Is your meeting about Lucas? You should let me come with you.” Aria said, following Ethan about in the room, as he put some last finishes on his clothes. “Nope.” Ethan refused. “You don’t have to dip your hands into this, else, you might get burned.” “I won’t.” Aria refuted. “At least, I know something little about Aunt Chloe. I want to help.” She was desperate. If she could do anything to hang on to Ethan, she would. “In that case…” He stopped and looked at her seriously and then continued, “Chloe should be the one to accompany me. This is about her and she knows a lot about Lucas, not you. You only have surface-level information which is not very useful.”Aria was stumped and embarrassed as she didn't even know what to say next. The gears in her head were wheeling, trying to churn out an excuse. “But–”“No buts, Aria. Someone will take you back to your father’s mansion. You
