“Get me the jackass I just spoke to on the phone,” Ethan's gaze focused on the two men before him.

The man with a cane suddenly appeared with Jeddia, a mocking glare on his face, “There you are. Ethan, we’ve been looking for you.”

Ethan kept his gaze steady. “And why is that?”

The glare on the man with a cane's face deepened. “Ambassador Gerald sends his regards. He’s not been pleased with your recent activities.”

Ethan’s jaw tightened. “I gave him a chance to come clean but I guess he's made his choice.”

The man laughed, a harsh, dissonant sound rocking the entire place. “And what are you going to do about it?”

He eyed Ethan disdainfully, before staring at Tage. “So poor punks like you can also afford to hire bodyguards.”

Tage's expression darkened instantly, his blood boiling in fury.

Their disdainful expressions were suddenly directed towards Ethan. Martha chuckled, enjoying the effects of her actions. “That's beautiful, they are looking beyond the tuxedo! They now are you for the wretch that you are!” Ethan gritted his teeth, his temper suddenly boiling. He had purposely been ignoring Martha's ranting so as not to bring unnecessary attention to himself.
