It was a lavish room worthy of the title VIP as it was outfitted with the best money could buy while the table had quite a few delicacies, both local and foreign, placed on it with five maids waiting to offer their services should they be called upon.

Ethan sat in the room across from Oswald who had intentions of suddenly bringing him to such a place.

Of course, Ethan wasn't flustered in the slightest and instead, looked forward to what was to be his first step into the business world.

“So, may I ask why you called me to such a place, Mr. Oswald?” Ethan calmly inquired as he indulged in a samosa.

Oswald chuckled. “Nothing at all, Mr. Ghost. You see, when I see successful young men like yourself, I feel it necessary to get acquainted.”

“Oh?”

“Of course!... I believe the future is with me like you so to not be left behind, it's only right that I do so.”

“I guess you are correct.”

I wonder just how powerful I'd be once I reach level 10… or perhaps level 100.” He began to get an inkling as to why the system was catered to

    Fred's mind was already filled with the thoughts of the extra money that would be made from the order causing him to up the ante on the type of car he wished to buy.Unfortunately, the waitress's next words served to douse the excitement brewing in his heart. “It's only one man sir.”Fred paused. “Sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly. You say only one man ordered all this?”“Yes sir.”“Damn it, just what kind of troublemaker dared to enter into my establishment so early in the morning!” “That's why I decided to bring it to you.”“Is the man still there now?”“I think so.”“That's good, let me see the fucker that dared to come in here looking for who to scam.”Rising to his feet, he ordered the waitress. “Lead the way!”The waitress, whose name was Joan, nodded as she proceeded to lead Fred to Ethan's table, the latter was currently indulging in a glass of water while waiting for his order.“So you are the troublemaker trying to play games, huh?” Fred remarked disdainfully as he

    Being surrounded by influential people with the men trying to befriend him and the women fawning over him, reminded Ethan of his days as a top gamer.At that time he was a hot cake with several companies and celebrities trying to get into the same boat with him.Unfortunately, after he took the blame for Mr. Williams' crimes, they all ran away without even bothering to check if the allegations were true.In a way, he couldn't blame them, he would have done the same considering the circumstances.Funny how it was only after he'd experienced the lowest point of life that he understood that wealth and power weren't the only important parts of life.True family and friends were important as well as they helped one persevere through the hardest of times.It was unfortunate that he never considered those who truly cared for him.Taking a deep breath, he thought it would be best to reach out to those he'd abandoned all because he thought they were no longer on the same level.Apart from his

    Ethan approached Anna, noting her shocked expression as a smile emerged at the corners of his lips.“Missed me?” He inquired once he'd gotten within arm's length.“... Ethan is that you?” She inquired back in a hoarse tone.“Of course, who else could look so dashing?”Anna managed a melancholic smile as she muttered. “There's no way I won't recognize that arrogance. But how come, I thought you were in for life?”“I was let out early on good behavior. Thought I'd surprise you.”“But all this… what's going on Ethan?” “I'll explain everything later but for now, how about you explain what's happening here?”“That…”“Hey!... Enough of this bullshit.” Mr. Kent bellowed in annoyance.He glared hatefully at the pretty boy who had come to ruin his victory with Ethan looking back.“Who are you?” Mr. Kent asked with Ethan asking back.“I should be asking you, who are you?”Instead of responding, Mr. Kent burst into mocking laughter. “You fool!... You don't even know who I am.”“Am I supposed to

    Seeing her so flustered, Ethan teased. “What?... Taken aback by my incredible handsomeness?”“... Ethan, what's going on?” Anna inquired, ignoring his lame joke in the process.Coughing awkwardly, Ethan remarked. “I'll answer all your questions later, but for now, don't you think you have to take care of something?”As he spoke, he gestured behind causing Anna to glance back only to find her tenants staring at her, waiting for her to address them.Confused at first, she recalled the papers in her hands which she raised triumphantly before announcing. “We did it!”The helpless tenants erupted in joy at the confirmation that their homes wouldn't be destroyed.Seeing them so happy brought a sense of happiness to Ethan and Anna with the duo smiling warmly.Just as Anna attempted to say more, however, her heart suddenly palpitated and she staggered, her eyes swimming.“Anna, are you alright?” Ethan asked worriedly as he moved to support her upon noticing her condition.Anna tried to speak

    Ethan was left confused as he watched the woman grab hold of his shirt, unwilling to let go.“What is the meaning of this?”“You stole from this store and now you are trying to act innocent?... Disgusting, people like you are why poor people have a bad name.”“Poor?... Lady, I think you have me mistaken with someone else.”“No, I don't. Everyone, I saw him sneaking around and the phones that were missing were in the places he passed. Doesn't that mean he is the prime suspect?”Ethan frowned as he immediately detected a conspiracy in the works against him.Just then, a white-haired man with a casual demeanor emerged from his office. “What's with all the commotion?”“Boss, some phones have been stolen and we think we may have found the culprit.”“What?... A thief in my store?... Preposterous, who is the ballsy fellow?”One of the staff members present pointed to Ethan with the owner of the store marching over.“Is this true?... Are you trying to rob me?”“That's a lie, sir.”“It's not,

    By the time the thief, whose name was Alan, was done talking, Amara's fate was already sealed.The guards immediately moved to apprehend her as she tried to escape causing her to glare at Ethan who smiled back in response.“I hope you make better life choices,” Ethan remarked as he let go of Alan to allow the security guards to pick him up as well.Satisfied that he'd cleared his name completely, Ethan turned to face Mr. Sanders only to hear a round of applause directed at him.Everyone had watched his heroics and was impressed by them.It would have been a time to gloat a bit but knowing that he was on a timer, he managed a smile before shifting his attention back to Mr. Sanders.“You can be quite persuasive, Mr. Ghost.”“I appreciate the kind words but I just want to get a phone and be on my way.”“That's fine, however, allow me to treat you to a special gift as a means to thank you for your actions today.”“Fine then.”“Please come with me.” Mr. Sanders immediately led Ethan to a

    Ethan froze as he hadn't considered it but being asked such a question now, an answer quickly formed.“Then I will accept my fate and return to the hotel. But at least… let me try.” Aurora nodded. “Since you saved me… I have no reason to refuse your request. But then, how do you plan to help me regain my memories?”“I have my ways.” Ethan confidently replied.Looking down at her cup of cocoa, Aurora replied. “Fine then, I'll cooperate.”“Thank you.” Relieved that she accepted, Ethan didn't hesitate to activate [LifeGiver].Moving to sit beside Aurora, he asked for permission to touch her head which she gave after which he placed his hand on her temple and got to work.Aurora’s expression shifted as the deepest recesses of her mind were healed from the trauma she'd experienced due to the accident.However, it allowed her to figure out so many things that had been unclear to her before now.Gasping, she pulled away from Ethan's palm with the latter growing worried. “Is everything okay?

    With Ethan at the helm, he replied with conviction. “That woman is related to Rani and Leilani.”“Why do you say so?”“It's just a gut feeling.”“But didn't she die?”“Maybe she didn't. I mean, she was an Apostle who managed to escape the GK Council for a long time. What's the likelihood that she didn't do something to herself so they won't be able to find her?”“You have a point.”Pursing his lips, Ethan decided to test something out first.He called up the system tab. “Reach out to the God of Information.”[Reaching out… the God of Information has arrived]“Did your previous Apostle die?”[The God of Information is silent]“Damn it, answer the question!”[He says that he doesn't know.

If possible, would you like to regain your memories?”“... I don't know if I want to. Whenever I try to think back, only fear, regret, and apprehension await. What kind of life would be waiting for me if I did?”“That…”“I'm sorry but I need to go. Since the manager lost his job, I'd have to seek employment elsewhere.”“Aren't you curious?... To know if you forgot something really important in your past?” The woman remained quiet for a prolonged period before shaking her head. “If it's not with me now, it must not have been important.”With those words, she got to her feet and added. “I'll be taking my leave now.”Then she left, leaving Ethan feeling frustrated and Kiara curious.“Damn it!...

I'm not sure. I feel like I know that woman.”Glancing at the woman, Kiara shifted her attention back to Ethan, unsure of what to make of the situation.On getting to their table, the waitress, who looked to be in her late forties made eye contact with Ethan only to freeze as an indescribable emotion crossed her eyes.Instinctively, Ethan intoned. “You...”The next moment, there was a loud crash as the food spilled all over the ground, catching everyone present by surprise.The woman snapped out of the temporary shock she was in and immediately turned fearful as she moved to clean up the mess, her body trembling as she muttered repeatedly. “Oh no, oh no, oh no.” As Ethan tried to stand up to help

Just watch.”Then the video moved forward quickly before pausing to reveal when Vivian sneakily approached the man she accused of stealing and placed the necklace into his pocket herself.A flurry of gasps escaped the lips of those present at that moment.Ethan shifted his attention to her, his expression riddled with disappointment. “When people like you do shit like this, it makes others wonder if I only pick on the rich. I don't do that. My only wish is that people are treated equally regardless of how much money they have.

    A glance was enough for people to guess that the man she was pointing at was lower class.The man stuttered. “What…”Before he could say more, he was immediately tackled by two muscular men that served as guards for Vivian who was heiress to the Carris family wealth. “I didn't do anything. Let me go!” The man cried out but Vivian only snorted as she reached into his pocket and pulled out an expensive-looking necklace.“You thief, you dare to take my expensive necklace. Do you know how much I bought it?... I will make sure you pay for this.”Just as Vivian was about to order her men to act, Ethan arrived at the scene. “What's happening here?” Adjusting herself to look more appealing to him, Vivian replied. “This pauper dared to try and steal my necklace. I want him punished immediately!”Ethan frowned before glancing at the man.“Mr. Jones, I didn't do it. It's all a misunderstanding.”Vivian snorted. “Then where did I find the necklace?...

Not at all ma'am. I'll get them right away.”Watching the waiter scurry away, Anna chuckled.Ethan sighed. “Stop bullying the poor guy.”“It's just so much fun,” Anna remarked with a wide smile.Just as the group delved into discussions about various topics, someone approached their table at that moment.It was a young blonde man with an arrogant smile.“Excuse me, Miss, but would you be interested in joining me at my table?” He began, barely paying any attention to Ethan.Taken aback at first, Aquila looked about, unsure if the man was talking to her.Realizing that he was indeed speaking to her, Aquila intoned. “I'm sorry, what?”“My name is Gilbert Junior Jones, son of Gilbert Senior and heir to the Jones estate.

    Glancing at the origin, Austin found Ethan staring daggers at him with eyes that screamed of murder.Before the situation escalated further, someone, or rather a group, arrived while calling out respectfully.“Ethan!”Ethan shifted his gaze away, allowing Austin to breathe once again.He found a man in a suit approaching, accompanied by guards. But that wasn't what caught his attention.Instead, it was the three beautiful women dressed provocatively behind the man who did for the dual fact that they were the ones who had called out to him and that they were, in fact, Louisa, Aquila, and Anna.They were breathtakingly beautiful to the extent that everyone was staring at them, including Rani.Ethan was rendered speechless with his killing intent vanishing as he stared at the women.Only when Louisa coughed did the atmosphere manage to relax somewhat, with the guards at the gate immediately greeting. “Good evening sir.”The manager glanced at them before remarking. “You both are fired.”
