Having made sure to put both women in their place, Erhan didn't even bother to waste any more time as he took Anna's hand and made his way out of the hotel building.“That guy… that guy was a hidden powerhouse, right?”“Most likely, holy shit, how much did he pay for that gold-streaked black card?”From insults, everyone in the reception was left staring at Ethan in awe as he left the hotel, never to return.***Ethan left Hotel Crimson with Anna, going ahead to check into another hotel with much better customer service.Spending the night there, the duo woke up the following morning to a call from the Poltergeist.“I've confirmed the state of things. You can head over today.” She remarked over the phone.Ethan nodded. “Alright then, anything I should be wary of?”“Tension on the island is high right now, information reaching me is that a fight could break out at any time, so you'd best be careful.”“Noted, I'll try not to die.”“It would be beneficial to both of us.”“I'd say.”With
Ethan had expected foul play and so he had prepared extensively for the entirety of today's events.He and Anna had imbibed potions that helped to nullify any kind of harmful substance taken into the body.When Caleb had brought the food for them to eat and make merry, the system had already warned him of poison but he'd taken it for one reason and that was to lure whoever it was that had bribed Caleb into betraying Poltergeist. To think that it would be an Apostle, though it was hardly surprising.Ethan could easily tell that BlackBeard was an Apostle of an Absolute Evil faction, almost like the other bastard he'd killed.In any case, it was fine, he could start now to reduce the number of enemies he'd have to face in No-man's-land.“I knew you'd fail but to think you'd not only fail but fail so spectacularly is beyond me, Caleb.”“No.”“Just shut up and step aside. I'll handle the rest.” BlackBeard intoned as he shoved Caleb aside with one hand, causing the playboy to collapse like

“You don't wanna do this,” Ethan remarked calmly, his expression the epitome of calm.The thug snorted. “I'm going to count to three. One!”“I'm warning you.”“Two!”“You are really on the edge here.”“Three!”“Last chance.”“Motherfucker!” the thug bellowed in annoyance as he swung his knife with the intent to split open Ethan's head like a watermelon however, Ethan moved faster, landing a hit so fast, the last thing the thug recalled was a jolt of pain followed by him being on the ground, his body unable to move.“What the hell did you do?” The thug tried to move but found himself unable to do so.Ethan didn't respond, merely looking at the others who immediately backed away in fright.Indeed, bully the weak while fearing the strong.Why wasn't he surprised?“You better stop this now!... Our boss is King Yama, if he finds out you are getting in our way, he won't hesitate to make your lives a living hell!”“I don't care if your boss is a god himself, if I don't wish to move, no one w
King Yama was a ridiculously tall and muscular man with a face that would frighten most children.He exuded the aura of a tyrant and indeed, he lived like one.There was nothing in his city that went unnoticed by him.Every business had to pay a 50% tax and every family had to pay homage to him whenever they had a child.No one dared to go against him and those that attempted to do so now decorated his bedroom walls as unfortunate trophies.Women, money, alcohol… he had everything at his disposal and much more.But his greed didn't end there as displayed by the fact that after laying his eyes on Casey, he had wanted no woman more than her.She was defiant and feisty, just the type of woman he enjoyed conquering.He could already imagine what he'd do to her even as he was already being served by four gorgeous and well-endowed women.As they fed him, he groped them with a lustful grin while the ladies blushed as moans escaped their lips.Indeed, as far as Yama was concerned, this was ho
It didn't even take up to a minute before the dressing room was swarmed by workers and customers alike who had all come to see what the fuss was about.Interested to see what the lady was trying to pull, Ethan remained calm and watched her act.Feigning tears, she intoned. “Someone help me, this man tried to attack me.”Anna who had just rushed out of the changing room, frowned upon hearing this.She glanced at Ethan who shook his head, denying the absurd claims.“I knew this beggar was up to no good. Now see, he attacked an innocent lady.” One of the staff said with several nodding in agreement.“He tried to take away my jewelry. Just look, because of him, my expensive jewelry broke.” The lady whose name was Cynthia, remarked, seeking to add more fuel to the flame. 'Let me see how you'll continue to laugh when you get lynched by the crowd, bastard.’“Let's get him, guys!... We can't continue to allow this bastard to stay in this place!” The men present remarked, all feeling the need
The tension at the counter was high with Rebecca moving to quell the disturbance.“Excuse me, sir, but could you please not do this? You already had a spot in the line and so cutting the line here isn't ethical at all.”“Oh please, shut up Rebecca.” Her co-worker who had helped the couple that cut the line during their shopping, stepped forward. “You can be stupid but that doesn't mean the rest of us have to continue in your stupidity.”“What are you talking about?”“It's clear for everyone to see that the ‘people’ you helped with shopping are beggars and nothing more. I dare say they'd just end up wasting our time with declined cards and word of mouth. There's no way they'd be able to afford anything here.”“Never judge a book by its cover,” Rebecca replied only for her co-worker to snort.“You can say that all you want but the truth is that these people are just going to waste valuable time for more important customers, like Mister Tim and his lover, Miss Amber. So excuse you, but y
“You think this is a forged card?” Anna inquired, more amused than anything else.“What else could it possibly be?... Even in your dreams, I doubt you could ever be a trillionaire, talk more in real life. So please, enough with your delusions.” Amber shot back in spite before turning back to Tim.“How about you transfer the cash?” Amber suggested with Tim flashing an awkward grin.“Haha, I forgot to bring my mobile device.” Then, he remarked. “How about we take these on credit for now?... Mister Matthew, I'm sure you can agree to that.”“Unfortunately not, my store has a strictly no credit policy. So you either pay or you return those items.” Matthew replied causing Tim to grimace for a moment.“Oh come on, we are fellow businessmen here. Alright, how about this?... Come to my house tomorrow and I'll give you double the amount we are to pay here.”“As I said, Mister Tim, I cannot accept that.”“Babe, can you stop talking about taking things on credit?... The whole thing we have to pay
