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 Erin raised her brows a bit impressed. She had also seen the footage from the hotel and she knew that they could only detain Ethan for a while.

“You know what?” She said to the officer while she stared at Ethan intently.

“I want everything you can get on him and also his relationship with Ray.” She instructed.

“Why? We can just detain him.” The officer replied, worried that she would go against Ray.

“Just do as I say, damn it!” She yelled back at him causing Ethan to raise a questionable brow at her. He didn’t know what they were saying and he tried to speak up however he stopped.

[Attention! Ethan Blackwood, a new mission has appeared!]

The system’s voice resonated in Ethan’s head and at the same time, Erin was trying to talk to him but he couldn't listen to her but the system.

[Flirt with the police officer in thirty minutes!]

That was Ethan’s mission and he frowned knowing it wouldn't be so easy. The female officer before him looked fierce and wasn't someone who could be dissuaded easily. But on second thought, he didn't mind if she would like him or not, all he just had to do was elicit a strong emotion in her toward him.

“Can’t you hear me? Are you fucking deaf?” The police officer kicked Ethan’s chair, trying to get his attention. This time, Ethan was back to his senses and Erin was looking at him angrily because he ignored her.

“No… I.. Am just blinded by your beauty.” Ethan replied as a sexy smirk bloomed on his face taking Erin aback. He got into character immediately to fulfill his mission.

“W…what are you saying? I'm trying to question you here. We are not talking about beauty!” Erin came back to her senses and spilled those words fiercely.

“Well, from now on, you can do whatever you want to me. I'm happy to die in your arms, Erin.” Ethan replied with a wink and Erin almost choked up. She put her hands on her waist, breathing heavily as she tried to steady herself.

“I'm going to ask you once again since you didn't hear me the last time.” She spoke up and Ethan nodded.

“What business do you have with Ray and how were you able to beat ten men? I watched the footage and I see you have a unique martial arts skill. It's rare for people to have that these days.” Erin asked thinking there was more to the eye than seen. If Ray wanted him locked up then there must be something else she wouldn't be able to lock him up because he was indeed defending himself.

“Well, you could say I beat up those men just to come to you. You are so beautiful and thanks to the heavens that brought me here. I think I have found my soulmate.” Ethan replied with a happy grin on his face.

This time, Erin’s face turned red due to anger and she was frustrated by Ethan’s answers. She was not in the mood for love.

“I am asking you Mr. Ethan Blackwood, who the fuck are you?” She asked while she clenched her arms wanting to slam something but Ethan had broken the only table they had.

“I am…” Ethan began to respond and Erin wanted to hear what he had to say desperately.

“…for you.” He continued, winking at her and the room went silent.

“What the fuck…” Erin was about to yell at him but the door opened and the officer from earlier walked in. He passed an iPad to Erin, with Ethan’s information on it.

Scrolling through the device, Erin saw that Ethan was just an ordinary person and a common worker. There was no record of him learning martial arts and also he had no prior contact with Ray.

“How could this be?” She whispered to herself in disbelief while she glanced at Ethan.

“Is something wrong, Erin? Tell me, I will do anything for you.” Ethan spoke up seeing the bewildered look on Erin’s face and he knew that she was confused about him. Even though his words were a bit cringe, they still made her look at him seriously now.

“Anything?” She asked and Ethan nodded with a sly smile on his face, seeing that his words were working on her.

At his words, Erin’s eyes dimmed seeing the way he was smiling so carefree. She was initially angry with him because he was trying to flirt with her but now that she looked at him, she realized he wasn't so bad. He was good-looking.

At the same time, a look at his records made her even more suspicious of who he was because an ordinary person wouldn't possess the skills he had. As far as she knew, he could be an underworld boss a low-key young master, or even a special forces soldier. Anyway, she knew she should use him to her advantage.

“I will let you out, Ethan.” She spoke up and Ethan looked at her seriously.

“Really? Then we can live our lives happily, together?” He asked.

“Of course not…” Erin replied with a smile creeping on her face but she tried to hide it.

“Then what?” Ethan asked.

“Let’s strike a deal!” She declared.
