Jason's cry drew the attention of most in the hall as they glanced at Ethan, pondering why Jason had referred to him with the name, Zero.

That was a title that resonated deeply not only with the gaming community but with the entire city as well.

Zero was the number one gamer as well as a philanthropist and cash cow.

During his golden years, he'd received so many investments, that people began to use the phrase, ‘invest in Zero, expect to several zeroes in profit’

So naturally, their reactions were expected though no one believed that Ethan was Zero.

Thanks to Ethan's pleas, law enforcement hasn't released information about his release from jail and thanks to the Williams, all information about him after he left had been erased so as far as anyone was concerned, Zero was still in jail serving out his sentence.

Ethan maintained a calm composure as he knew reacting improperly would draw the attention of the masses and that was something he hoped to avoid.

He'd done a bit of makeup to hid

    “So that's how it is,” Reginald muttered in a bitter tone, his expression complicated as he stared at Ethan. “No wonder, I couldn't help but feel threatened by you.”“Now you're just flattering me.” Ethan intoned with a hint of mockery.Reginald's wife intoned. “I heard you died.”“More like murdered. Perhaps you might know something about that.”No one responded as though the Williams were stunned, they were cunning enough to know that admitting to killing Ethan was the same as shooting themselves in the foot.“How did you survive?” Lucia asked, clearly still terrified by Ethan's presence.Ethan grinned. “Wouldn't you like to know?”“Why are you here?... It would have been better if you continued to hide your identity.” Reginald remarked, his eyes warily scanning Ethan's body.“But what's the fun in that?... Honestly, I could have done that but I'm tired of hiding. So here I am, Reginald, feeling trigger-happy?” Reginald gritted his teeth but knew deep down he could do nothing to Et

    Once they were done packing, Ethan and Anna left for the airport with Ethan leaving Dusk Manor in Bill's able hands. On arriving at the airport, they took their luggage and headed for the terminal to carry out some certifications before they'd be allowed to leave the country.Once done, Ethan took Anna to the cafeteria for breakfast as the airport staff asked them to wait for a bit while they processed all their information.“What would you like?” Ethan inquired once they were seated. Anna shrugged. “Maybe a burger and some fries.” “Alright coming right up with a smoothie.”With that, he got to his feet and left, leaving Anna to watch their bags.Just then, a man accompanied by two beautiful women and four bodyguards approached.From his looks, one could immediately tell that he was troublesome with more money than he knew what to do with.“Well hello there sweetheart.” The man started, his eyes trailing Anna's body like a hound.Anna raised a brow, taking a moment to glance back b

    Ethan nodded as he let go of Ronald's hand, causing the latter to think he had won.“Hmmph, I thought you'd decide to be a hero.”Before he could say more, Ethan suddenly remarked. “Now gentlemen, you are about to see me beat up a fool.”“What?”Ronald didn't even see it until he was on the ground, only to realize that Ethan had struck him across the cheek with a right hook.His eyes spinning, he couldn't even make out his bearings, merely hearing what sounded like fighting for a while before it finally stopped.By the time he regained himself, Ethan was standing over him while his guards were all on the ground, unconscious.The girls with him had already run away, leaving Ronald to his fate.“What the hell is happening?” He asked in confusion.Ethan smiled mischievously. “I'm teaching you a lesson in humility, of course.” “You'd best not touch me again, I have friends in high places, I'll make you regret your life!” Ronald threatened while dreading the prospect of Ethan ignoring his

    “Haha, of course, of course, why would anything be wrong?” Ronald inquired, trying his hardest to play off the entire situation though no one was buying it.“Are you sure about that?” Ethan pressed, quite amused seeing the old fool wet himself trying to escape Louisa's potential wrath.“Of course!... Isn't that right, Gerald, everything is okay, right?”Gerald the guard leader gulped nervously as he replied. “I mean, it was just a little scuffle so there's nothing wrong.”“Yet it seemed like you were about to apprehend him.” Louisa intoned, causing Gerald to feel even more nervous as his hands turned clammy with sweat. “Apprehend him?... That's not at all what was happening, Young miss, don't misunderstand.”“I think I understand quite clearly, officer. I will be having a word with your head of security.”“There's no need to go that far, ma'am, honestly,” Gerald remarked as he knew that with one word from Louisa, he would not only lose his job, but he'd never be able to get it back a

    Just as Ronald was about to ridicule Ethan more, he realized he still was on a call prompting him to return to it.“Yes, what else do you want to tell me?”“I forgot to let you know, the person that bought all your assets is a businessman calling himself Ghost. He is the same one who purchased Savour, Horizon, and a host of other companies while clearing their debts. So you can be assured that your company is in good hands.”Ronald was just about to curse out the lawyer only to pause as he recalled something. Back in the cafeteria, Louisa had referred to Ethan as Ghost and he hadn't refuted her words.Did that mean?... No, it made no sense.Ronald glanced at Ethan, his lips trembling as he couldn't fathom what he had just thought.Ethan flashed a smile. “I'm guessing you are speaking with your lawyer. Say hi to him for me.” “Is that Mr. Ghost I heard in the background?... Hand him the phone, I need to discuss becoming his permanent lawyer.” Ronald didn't even have the stomach to ha

    “What do you think of the new boss?” Mario, the co-pilot inquired of the main pilot, Seth.“What do I care?... As long as he pays my salary, I don't give a damn who serves as my boss.”“I guess you are right but that guy looks like a fucking deadbeat so I do wonder how he managed to get so much money.”“Perhaps he's a criminal. I won't be surprised if that's the case.” Seth remarked. “Regardless, we shouldn't concern ourselves with that. Let's just focus on doing our job.”“Alright, if you say so.”Just then, there was a flash of light ahead causing Seth's expression to shift. “Were there any reports of a storm today, Mario?”“Not to my knowledge, no.”“Are you sure?”“Of course, why?”“Then why the hell is there a fucking storm coming right at us!” ***The turbulence started with a few bumps with Ethan brushing it off as he conversed with Anna while enjoying their meals.But then, the system notification appeared and he knew that something was wrong.[Emergency mission is being gene

    Having made up his mind, Ethan rushed to the pilot seat and helped Seth out of it before taking his place. As he grabbed the wheel, all information on how to fly a plane immediately flowed into his brain like a river.Before now, Ethan had no idea how to fly a plane but at this moment, even veteran pilots wouldn't dare say they were more knowledgeable than him.With a smile on his lips, Ethan remarked. “Bring it on.” He focused on stabilizing the plane first to avoid getting tossed around by the storm after which he began to make his way around the tornadoes and flashing lightning.Despite the attempts of the gods to stop Ethan from reaching his destination, the Champion of Absolute proved himself up to the task.After almost an hour of flying through turbulent weather, Ethan managed to escape the storm, finally arriving within calm waters again.His rapidly beating heart calmed down allowing him some respite.For a moment, there was silence, and then, a triumphant laugh escaped Eth

    As a prestigious hotel, only the very rich people dared to enter Hotel Crimson and they were easily noticeable by the kind of clothes they wore, the accessories they carried, and even the cologne they wore. For a wealthy person, everything had to be designer, nothing else would suffice and the staff of Hotel Crimson had gotten used to that.This was why when Ethan walked in with Anna, he was immediately seen as a man who didn't belong and no middle-class pauper would be able to afford even the cheapest rooms in their establishment.“Are you sure you aren't in the wrong building?” The receptionist inquired, dropping all formalities as she addressed Ethan rudely.Ethan shook his head. “This is Hotel Crimson, right?”“Indeed it is.”“Then I believe I am in the right place.”“I don't think so.” The receptionist insisted, her eyes filled with contempt.Meanwhile, those who were enjoying themselves around the vicinity began to notice the commotion at the reception with most commenting on i

    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. She forcibly ended her contract with him and even found a way to block his gaze to ensure he wouldn't find her]“Why would she do that?”[He has no idea. It happened too quickly for him to figure out]“I see.” Ethan immediately began to feel like there was something fishy going on.Regardless, he had t

    Ethan and Kiara exchanged looks with one another before Ethan shifted his attention back to the waitress.“You don't remember anything at all?” The waitress paused, her eyes seeming to flash with emotions before she remarked. “I'm not sure.”“... 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!...

    Despite not knowing the woman at all, Ethan couldn't help but zero in on her as the blood within him surged like it had found its source.The woman seemed to be in discomfort as well as her expression shifted slightly.Noticing Ethan's reaction, Kiara inquired. “Is everything alright?”“... 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

    “We have to do something soon else these paupers would think they are on the same level with us.”In the video, Vivian was speaking with four others who were currently trying to hide themselves for fear of getting implicated with Vivian.“I have an idea. 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. If he had truly stolen your necklace, I would have been the one to mete out punishment without hesitation but this… what do you have to say for yourself, Ms. Vivian?”Vivian hesitated as several gazes filled wit

    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?...

    Even the waiter gasped as he watched the bill reach up to a hundred thousand and even then, it did not stop.Once they were done, he was forced to ask if they were certain with Anna inquiring.“Do you think we can't afford it?”“... 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.”
