He felt her body for a while and he felt a gun holster which was hidden perfectly under her clothes. As he instructed her to call the boys, he smirked her and took out the gun.

Erin didn’t try to stop him from reaching into her body as she took out her phone and he stretched the gun at the boss.

“What are you doing? Are you the police?”The boss asked, shooting up to his feet while the boys and the girls were quick to cower to the other side of the room. Erin stood up and had to stand up to make them calm.

“What do you think I’m doing?” Ethan asked, with a wicked smirk on his face. Looking at him, the boss stretched his hand toward his phone which was on the table.

“Don’t you dare!” Ethan threatened, standing up to his feet while he cocked the gun, making the boss halt his actions.

“If you scream, a bullet will go through your fucking skull.” Ethan declared and he didn’t look like he was joking. He was actually ready to kill.

“And to let you know, this entire building is surrounded and

    CHAPTER 17:As soon as the police officers stormed in, a gunfight began with sporadic shooting all over. At the same time, Ire shot at Ethan who dodged immediately. Screams echoed through the office as Ethan dashed toward Ire who was about to shoot again.“Get the fuck out!” Ethan kicked Ire with so much force, sending him to the middle of the den where the gunfight was heated. In the next second, he shut the door and turned to look at Erin seriously. But in that moment, bullets were fired at the door and most of them were lodged into the door but it was only a matter of time before the door would be taken down.“Come here!” Ethan dragged Erin toward a side door which led to the bathroom. He pushed Erin in and went back to get the captives, pushing them all into the bathroom.“What are you doing?”Erin asked, trying to get out of the bathroom, but Ethan pushed her back in.“Stay right here! You have to protect them. I will go out and try to save the other captives but let’s be sure the

    “Stop!” Erin yelled out and Ethan looked at her with a hardened expression. A knife was held to her neck, while she was being held captive.“Ethan… They killed them.” She said and tears streamed down her eyes. Ethan saw that there were two other men beside her apart from the one holding her captive. Where did they come from, because he hadn’t seen them. Also, he saw blood trailing from the office and the knife being held was covered in blood.Ethan realized that those captives he hid with Erin had been killed and again, his heart sank. He had hoped he would be able to save those children and now they were killed brutally and Erin was being held but then he kept his cool.“Hey, you.” The man holding Erin captive spoke up.“You know what to do if you don’t want her dead.” He added.“Kneel!” Another man commanded.Ethan looked from the men to Erin who was looking so devastated and then asked, “Do you want me to kneel, Erin?”“No, Ethan.” She shook her head. She would never allow a man li

    Erin collapsed to the floor and she sobbed, with her head between her legs. She felt hurt that she and her colleagues were just seen as fools while the police head ordered them around. “Erin…” Ethan called out with a worried look on her face. He killed those bastards for her so they wouldn't touch her but she didn't seem to care. He walked up to her and dragged her up.“See, I can't console you now. We still have a lot to do. The captives are still in there and they are probably terrorized. I trust that you know what to do about your boss. You'll find your way around it.” Ethan explained, holding her shoulders.“You are right.” Erin nodded, wiping her tears with her hands. “This isn't the time to cry. Let’s go.” She said, quickly as she detached herself from him. Ethan watched her go in and out of the office and carried those boys and girls out. Their brains had been blown out and it all happened before Erin. It was no wonder everything was too overwhelming for her. Ethan stepped

    Ethan’s eyes were fixated on the road as he drove Erin to her place as she had requested. It had been a few minutes since they broke the kiss and he could say that was the best kiss he had in a long while. It was way more different and connecting than what he ever had with Becca. In the next second, the system’s voice resounded in his head. [You made a female show multiple emotions. Your new skill points are:Women picking skills: 4Charm: 4Looks: 3Fighting skills: 2Overall skills: 13Account balance: $1000000]Seeing that, Ethan let out a smile because he also felt so proud that Erin was so free with him. “Take a turn,” Erin instructed as they got out of Gas Arc and drove onto the highway. “I live at Skyrise Avenue, you know where that is, right?” She asked and Ethan looked at her with surprised eyes. “What? There? You are that rich?” He asked but then shut his mouth immediately while throwing Erin an apologetic look. “Haha, don't be too surprised. My family lives in Skyrise

    Ethan stood still and he frowned in displeasure seeing who was at the door. “What are you doing here?” He asked, folding his arms. “I am here to see you. Don't you want to see me anymore?” Becca asked, walking toward Ethan with a sultry look in her eyes. She tried to touch him but then he stepped as if she was garbage.“I see that you have dumped Ray. Why?” Ethan asked, stepping to the side and then going toward the door. He had a long day and he wasn't about to chat away into the midnight with Becca. “You know I only went to Ray because I wanted to give us both a better life. I had to act that way in the hotel so Ray wouldn't be suspicious. I have loved you from the beginning. Why would I date you if I didn't?” She said in one breath. Ethan wasn't moved by her words and he only inserted his key and opened the door. “Are you a mosquito?” He asked before opening the door. “What?” “You are buzzing like one.” He replied and then opened the door, went in, and shut it in her face.

    “You see, Ethan…” Ray walked forward and tapped the tip of his gun on Ethan’s head. “I just rendered you immobile and if you don't get immediate treatment, you are going to be crippled, for life.” “You bastard!” Ethan let out through gritted teeth, trying to endure the pain in his legs. His hands fisted tightly and he just wanted to tear Ray apart. “Nah… a crippled man doesn't insult. No matter the amount of money you claim to have, you will end up in the gutter where you belong.” Ray mocked and then took a step back. A wicked smile crept onto his face and he motioned for the men to leave. They got into their cars and drove off, leaving Ethan and Becca who was almost dead. Ethan was losing too much blood and his eyes were starting to close up. He thought he was going to die from losing too much blood but how could he die at this point? “Someone call 911!” A voice resounded in the air as several people rallied around Ethan and Becca and most people were taking pictures.“Call the

    The doctor stood there dumbfounded as she looked at Erin. “His girlfriend?” She asked with raised brows. “Yes, are you surprised?” Erin replied and somehow the doctor felt hurt that Ethan had someone else he liked. What was she thinking anyway? That a patient she met in one day would stay faithful to her?She realized she was getting ahead of herself by thinking about Ethan ever since that day. But on the other hand, she didn't want to back down before her fellow woman. “Well, Ethan has to tell me that himself and not you. I do not know you, so get out of the way and let me examine him.” The doctor said and even though Erin was infuriated by her words, she had to step aside. Her eyes followed every little thing the doctor did and a few minutes later, the doctor was done. “Is anything wrong with him?” Erin asked. “No. We just have to wait for him to wake up. Also, a nurse will come to change his bandages. Take care of him.” The doctor informed and then turned around to leave whil

At this point, he didn't mind spending all he had to get what he wanted. “I will get the Super Healing technique.” He replied. There was a booting sound in his head and the next second, his phone dinged and it was a debit alert from the bank. He was left with just a few cents but then he didn't worry too much because he trusted in the system and knew he would always earn his money. [20%40%60%80%100% Super Healing Technique installed!

    Ethan halted his steps, shocked and mortified by Chloe’s appearance. He didn't know what to think of the situation, as he thought Lucas was a bad man, but seeing Chloe now, Lucas deserved a fate worse than death. And on the other hand, seeing Ethan’s expression, Chloe let out another stream of tears. She was embarrassed and ashamed of herself. It wasn't her fault she turned out that way, but she couldn't stand herself anymore. “Let her go, Lucas,” Ethan warned, his eyes roaming the room as he searched for what he could attack with, but there was nothing in sight. “Never! She dies with me!” He grinned. They had a few back and forth, and Chloe was tired of the noise. She looked at Ethan with sincerity in her eyes, “Thank you.”“You helped me when I needed help the most.” Her expression was calm now, devoid of sadness and misery. But then Ethan felt something was wrong. She continued, “You gave me the best sex of my life–” “What?” Lucas gasped, his arm wrapping even more tightly

  • Possessor Of The System

    “I killed him…” Lucas repeated and then he laughed, again and again in Ethan’d face. He was laughing too much and Ethan felt like clawing his face with force. But he had to wait, the system was still healing him. Lucas continued, “You look horrified...” He pointed at Ethan’s face. Of course, Ethan was horrified. The last boss was killed by Lucas! Was this why the System had assigned him to kill Lucas? If this was the case, the last boss would definitely be a former possessor of the system. “Should I tell you how I killed him?” Lucas asked a childlike excitement in his eyes. However, he didn't even wait for an answer before speaking again, “That bastard seemed invincible to everyone.”“The elders respected him so much and it seemed like he could never die. It was too unusual and then I got close to him, to know what the fuck he was doing!”“He scaled through every attack thrown in his way by his enemies and no matter how hard I tried, I never broke through him to know him.” Lucas su

  • I Killed Him

    Ethan had escaped Lucas and the men narrowly and as he ran around the building, straight to the backyard, he limped in pain. The System was still healing him and he had a hard time walking. However, he couldn't stop because Lucas was bound to catch up with him sooner or later. But first, he had to get to Chloe. In the backyard, he found a small door leading into the building and at the same time, he heard footsteps from behind, followed by a loud voice. “Catch him! Catch that bastard! How did he get in here?” It was Lucas shouting at the top of his lungs, the anger in his voice evident.He then continued, “Assign a few men to go outside the building too. Capture whoever you see there! I am sure that bastard brought back up.” “Fuck!” Ethan cursed, his eyes dimming slightly knowing Lucas had caught up to him and he was already going after Mason and the other men. Immediately, he rushed through the small door, while tapping on the device in his ear. Swiftly, Mason answered. “Boss,

  • Activation Unsuccessful

    Ethan stood there, still torn between jumping over the fence and staying back. At the same time, Chloe’s screams continued to echo throughout the building. She was being tortured too much and he couldn't stay back. Ethan thought his life would mean absolutely nothing if he couldn't save a life that desperately needed his help. “I'm going over!” He decided and Mason looked at him in shock while he shook his head. “You can’t do that.” Mason disagreed, putting his arm forward to stop his boss. At those words, Ethan turned to him with his left brow arched in amusement, “I don’t remember you telling me what to do. It didn't start before and it is not going to start now.” His voice grew stern with each word and Mason slowly stepped back, with an apologetic look. “I apologize, Boss.” Mason bowed and as he looked up, he saw Ethan getting ready to get over the fence. It irked him so much to see his boss put himself in harm’s way and in that moment, he stepped forward again. “If you are g

  • 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
