Rise Of Ethan Nathan: Ruling the World

CHAPTER EIGHT

Everyone around stared at what was going on in astonishment. 

"Who could this poorly dressed man be?" Ethan could hear the whispers filter into his ears like murmurs of bees.

"But sir. I was about to get him out of this place." The security officer named Mr. Austin tried to say, still clutching hard to his aching face that seemed to want to pull apart.

"Another word from you and I am going to make sure that I cut off your tongue. I guess that slap isn't enough for you already right?"

The security officer shivered on the point that he stood, knowing way too well that he was on the verge of losing his job if Ethan was anybody important.

But a part of him screamed out that he could never be anyone that big.

It's clothes, cheap body spray. Everything about him spoke of a low key life.

Mr. Blakes walked towards Ethan swiftly to apologize on behalf of the mishap.

"M...." He was about to say but Ethan shot a stare at him, not ready to reveal his identity yet.

"Don't do that. For now, I am just your good old friend from college" He whispered in such a way that only Mr. Blake Heard the word that he just spat out of his mouth, making him pull an abrupt pause.

"Hey Mr. Blake, long time no see." He added but even with his calm words, Mr. Blake could not help but shiver.

"Hope you weren't hurt, sir?" He said to Ethan.

"Not really, just this security officer of yours who tried to beat me up." He returned and Mr. Blake scoffed.

"Is that true?" He inquired staring right into his eyes.

Mr. Austin's shivering reduced a little.

"It isn't what you think sir. It was all a simple misunderstanding and nothing more than that." He added again.

"Well, I guess that simple misunderstanding might have to cost you your job." He replied.

He removed his gaze from the security officer and returned them to Ethan.

"Sir, what would you have me do to him?" He Inquired 

The security officer at this point knew that with the way that he had treated Ethan, there was certainly no way that he was going to keep the job.

Meanwhile, a crinkly smile hovered on Ethan's lips as the thoughts of what he could do to the security officer crossed through his mind.

"Well, first and foremost, we made a bet to remember. You were going to lick off the dust from my shoes if I get Mr. Blakes down here right?" He said to the security officer.

"And since you lost the bet, shouldn't you be thinking of a way to keep your promise?" He inquired.

The security officer hesitated for a while. Even though he seemed to know Mr. Blakes, he did see Ethan more like a poor simp and was only shivering not because of him but Mr. Blakes

"Are you afraid that you are going to get some infection or something? Don't worry, they are properly polished." He noted.

The security officer stared at him and everyone was around. The frown on Mr. Blake's face made him move towards him but staring at his feet, he pushed backward for a while.

"Mr. Blakes, I don't know what this man has portrayed himself to be but you can't let him fool you this way.." He did even get to finish his statement before

"Slap." A slap landed on his face.

His face turned blood red at the slap and he was left speechless for a while.

"This company is recommended for honesty. You already made a promise and you will have to keep it." He noted.

The security officer pulled towards him and licked the dust off from his shoes with his face, twisted with so much irritation.

"You should count yourself worthy to have done that." He replied.

"I'm Sorry once again." Mr. Blake apologizes. But staring right into the eyes of the security officer, he did not seem like someone who had learned his lesson.

"Can't you just fire him?" Ethan Inquired but Mr. Blakes shuttered

"He is.." he was about to say but Mr. Austin came in.

"I'm under the immunity of Geftan. Who do you think you are?" He was trying to control himself but could no longer at this point.

Mr. Blakes was shocked at his audacity and was about to do something but Ethan stopped him With his stare that said.

"Don't worry. I will take care of him."

"I want him to come with us." Ethan's hands gestured towards the security who made a weird face.

"What would I want from me now?" Was the only expression that was written all over his face.

"You heard him already. Do you want me to say it again?" He gestured.

"No, Mr. Blakes." The security officer replied his calm was finally restored.

He followed Ethan and Mr. Blakes closely from behind until they finally got to Mr. Blakes's office.

"Sir, how may I be of help to you?"

Mr. Blake shot a stare at Ethan who shot a stare back at the men.

"How would it feel if I told you that I am Ethan Geftan Nathan?" He inquired.

The man stared at him for a while and burst out into laughter. Since he was a high-ranking security officer, he knew about the son of Geftan, the son of the richest man in the city.

But a broken ass stood before him. It was difficult for him not to hold his laughter.

He stared a stare at the manger but there was not even a trace of laughter in his eyes.

"Wait! Do you think that this is funny? Do you realize how you have treated the new CEO of this company?" A frown formed on his face and his hands were clenched.

The security officer stared at Ethan, trying as hard as he could to process what he just heard in his head but it was way too difficult.

"It's a joke, right? It can't be true."

"If there is a joke here, then the joke is on you." He heard him saying.

He pulled an ID from his pocket, the same one that his grandfather had handed over to him, and swiped it at the security officer.

He did not do that at first just because he did not want to attract unnecessary attention to himself.

His eyes caught a glimpse of it and his face Brightened almost immediately and cold sweat broke out from the corner of his face.

"You.. you." He could hardly get himself to say anything at that instant.

"Yes. I am Ethan Geftan Nathan. The missing son of the Geftan family." He replied.

"So let's go back to the last part earlier. No one can sack you. What do you have to say about that?" He inquired.

"Puff.."
