2024-06-23 03:19:17Ethan's head almost exploded just by seeing the words on the screen. A million dollars in his account was a dream come true and now he knew this shit was real! With that money, he could clear all his debts and do whatever he wanted but above all, The Star Hotel reward was still shocking.
At the same time, his phone dinged and he took it from the bedside and saw that he had just received an alert. Truly, a million dollars had been deposited into his account and he sat up. All forms of pain disappeared from his body and he started to grin from ear to ear. He became a bit anxious and he just wanted to get out of the hospital so fast. Two days passed and the doctor discharged him, although he didn't get to see the doctor who he flirted with, he didn't mind. Ethan was dressed in shabby clothes as he took a cab to the city center. Before being rewarded, he would always board buses to save cost and now he didn't care about the cost of a cab. Soon, he got to the entrance of The Star Hotel and his eyes twinkled, filled with so much expectation. He didn't fail to notice the eyes on him and they were filled with disdain. He got into the hotel lobby which was enormous, with chandeliers hanging from the ceilings. The place had a resting area by the side where distinguished guests sat to chat and then there was a reception by the side. Immediately, he spotted a well-dressed lady behind the stand and he smiled, she smiled back at him with his legs moving on their own to meet her. “Good morning sir, welcome to The Star Hotel. How may I help you?” She asked, her eyes roaming about Ethan’d body and they landed on his face. Seeing how shabby he was, her expression did not change one bit and he was impressed. “I think my job here is done because I have seen what to work on.” Ethan blurted out without thinking as something was pulling him to her. He just wanted to make her elicit emotions. It was like a primal instinct and he guessed this was because of the system. “And what is that, if I may ask?” She asked. “You,” Ethan replied firmly she was taken aback at first and then a genuine smile spread on her face and he didn't relent. “You look so much beautiful when you smile.” He complimented her, causing her smile to grow wider. “Oh wow, Mr…” She said, her voice drowning out as she didn't know my name. “Ethan.” He filled in, winking at her. “Mr. Ethan, it is such a pleasure to hear those beautiful words from you.” The receptionist was visibly glad about the compliments. “You are so good-looking as well and I hope your day is going well.” She said, sincerely while she blushed. Ethan couldn't control the smile that bloomed on his face and he nodded. “Of course, with you, I am sure I will have a great day.” He said, firmly. He would be able to do what he was there to do faster since the receptionist was so kind. “So, what would you like me to do for you?” She asked and instantly, I turned serious. “I would like to speak to the manager. We have a little business to discuss and I guess he should be expecting me.” Ethan explained simply. The receptionist was a bit taken aback, wondering what a man like Ethan would want to discuss with the manager. There was a tiny bit of doubt that Ethan was a fraud but she refused to dwell on that. The Star Hotel accommodated many billionaires and millionaires, most of them were not even known by the world. What if Ethan was a billionaire and he was just being low-key? She decided to take this gamble and call the manager. “Alright, I will let the manager know.” The receptionist replied and Ethan took a sigh of relief. Things were going smoother than he expected, especially after his encounter with the guard. His back was turned to the rest of the lobby and he didn't see who was behind him but then he heard footsteps. Before he could turn around, a voice resounded. “Ethan, you don't have to hide your face from me. I dumped your ass and now you are here to stalk me? Are you trying to get my attention by pulling one of your ridiculous tricks?” An obnoxious voice filled with so much mockery flowed into Ethan’s ears, causing him to turn around. “Becca?” Ethan said with raised brows, seeing his ex-girlfriend. But she was with another man, his hand wound around her waist. And there were two other men, clinging onto their women, Becca’s friends.

There was a silent stand-off between Ethan and Becca, alongside the men and women by her side. Ethan took a glance at them, his mouth twitching slightly, after a while, she turned around facing the receptionist. “How dare you ignore me?” Becca’s angry voice came just as Ethan turned around. “And what do you expect me to do?” Ethan’s mouth curled up into a smirk as he looked at Becca. “Kneel and greet you? Cause I don’t know what you are expecting from me.” He continued, and the smile on his face widened. “How dare you…” Becca gritted her teeth pointing at Ethan. Her face turned green from embarrassment. “Let me let you know something you don’t know.” Becca sneered, continuing after a while as it seemed like she regained her confidence. “You are at the bottom of the food chain while I am at the top. It's only right that you do what is due because you are not supposed to be here in the first place.” She said with a sneer and then folded her hands as if waiting on the said due.
My Rich Harem System Manager Thorn
All eyes turned in the direction of the voice and most people held their breaths seeing the manager arrive. The receptionist walked out of her station to meet the manager halfway but then the man with Becca beat her to it. “Manager Thorn. It's so nice to see you here.” Ray said as he bowed slightly at the manager. “What is going on here?” Ethan asked himself seeing the way the man had gotten so humble. He was just boasting a while ago. Becca also followed after her man, trying to suck up to the manager. Ethan decided to stay back and watch their interaction since he wasn't in a hurry. The manager stood before Becca’s man with a confused look while Becca’s man stretched his hand for a handshake. But his hand hand in the air as the manager walked past him and walked directly toward Ethan. Manager Thorn made no effort to give Becca’s man any face and it was a bit shocking to Ethan and most of all, the manager voluntarily walked up to him. “Hello, Mr. Ethan. I'm glad to see you are h

Everyone 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 a
My Rich Harem System Ethan’s Taunts
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

Celebration Of Freedom
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
