“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
Once they were outside the building, Ethan turned to address Rebecca.Feeling like it was her position to make amends for the insults Ethan had been subjected to in the store, Rebecca remarked. “Apologies for what happened today sir, I'm sure my colleagues didn't mean it.”Taken aback by her words, Ethan inquired. “Aren't you angry with them?”“Well, everyone makes mistakes right?... I don't hold it against them. To be honest, I was also scared that you were a cheat but I wanted to stick to my code of conduct.”“Don't judge a book by its cover.”“Yeah, thankfully it paid off.”Ethan nodded. “Regardless, the fact that you did what you did is commendable. It's people like you that remind me that not everyone is bad.”“I like to see the best in people,” Rebecca replied.“Have you ever considered leaving the island?”Rebecca hesitated, taken aback by the sudden remark. “Well, not really. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think it's possible.”“And if it was?”Rebecca pursed her lips, takin
As Jonathan messed around with the bimbo he was with, grabbing and massaging her body as he wished, the worker quickly led him to the entrance to the inner section.Just as they were about to arrive there, Jonathan glanced in Ethan's direction before finally landing on Anna.“Shit.” Anna cursed as she tried to hide but it was already too late.Jonathan immediately made his way over with the bimbo, even whispering something to the lady causing her to chuckle while staring at Anna.“You know him?” Ethan inquired with Anna letting out a sigh.“More or less. He used to chase me around in high school.”“I guess you've always been a magnet for trouble.” Ethan teased causing Anna to pinch him in the back.“If it isn't my best girl Anna, how long has it been, six years, right?”Feigning a smile, Anna replied. “Nice to see you too, Johnny.”“What are you doing in Nomansland?” Jonathan inquired, taking a single look at Ethan before adding. “`With a bum. I'd have expected you'd be married into s
Ethan grinned as he replied. “Sure thing.”Jonathan snorted while the bimbo next to him regarded Ethan like some sort of fool who didn't know his place.Meanwhile, the worker with them, ever ready to please Jonathan, still regarded Ethan with contempt even as he took the Blackgold card from him.“I'll pay for two gold tickets.” Ethan intoned causing the worker to snort.“Babe, it seems your friend's date isn't too smart. He is trying to overdo it instead of looking for a way out of his current predicament.” Jonathan's bimbo intoned with Jonathan chuckling in clear mockery of Ethan.“That's the issue with the poor, my dear, they hardly ever know their place, always attempting to live beyond their means. So I'm not surprised.” The worker seemed to agree with Jonathan's sentiment as he intoned. “Are you sure about that?”“I don't believe I stuttered,” Ethan replied causing the worker to snort in response.“Your funeral, I guess.” Utilizing his card reader, he carried out the transactio
Ethan let out a sigh as he glanced at him. “This is an auction. Do you know how an auction works?”“Fuck you, do you know who I am?... I am Cutthroat, one of King Yama's ten generals. What I want, I get, don't you dare try to stand in my way.” The gang leader angrily remarked.Ethan snorted. “If you have the money, you are free to bid, if not, just shut up and let those with the money, pay.”“How dare you!” Cutthroat glared at him.At this point, the atmosphere was incredibly tense with the other two in the lounge considering whether to leave to avoid getting entangled with whatever was about to happen.Ethan didn't even say anything else as he focused his attention on the car.Cutthroat nodded. “Good, very good, you'd best keep this energy when I'm cutting you up, you bastard!”Ignoring him, Ethan watched as the lady in the skimpy dress counted down before announcing him as the winner.Satisfied with the easy win, Ethan got up to leave with Cutthroat staring at his back.If looks cou
Cutthroat grinned as he aimed his weapon at Ethan. “Say your last prayers, now!”Letting out a sigh, Ethan intoned. “O great deities watching me right now, please watch as I dish out some ass-whooping to fools.”Before Cutthroat could figure out what he meant, Ethan disappeared with the aid of [Hyper Motility] before appearing next to him and slapping the gang leader aside with one hand.The others, shocked by the sudden attack, didn't hesitate to unleash their weapons but unfortunately for them, they were a tad bit slow.Ethan beat them down without mercy, ensuring that each one would never forget him till the day they died.By the time he was done, Cutthroat was the only one still conscious, his eyes wide with terror as he couldn't understand how he managed to lose despite having the upper hand.Ethan turned to face him and he immediately went rigid.“Where's that zest from earlier?... I'm still waiting for you to punch holes in me.” Ethan ridiculed as he approached Cutthroat with t
Ethan ignored the command the guards gave prompting them to shoot at the car but contrary to their expectations, the bullets bounced off the car without dealing any damage.Terrified, the guards didn't hesitate to leap out of the way.With the road clear, Ethan slammed through the gates, quickly finding himself in a spacious courtyard currently filled with armed guards.“Shoot the car!” The captains of the guards ordered their subordinates to do as instructed.Within a second, the sound of gunshots drowned out every other sound.For a moment, it seemed like Ethan was done for yet when the shooting ended, the Volkswagen GR remained unscathed leaving the guards and their leaders confused.Even an armored car wouldn't have been able to survive their combined onslaught.Unbeknownst to them, Ethan had upgraded the car with the aid of an artifact.Though it was temporary, at least for now, he didn't have to worry about losing the car in the fight.“Damn it, shoot that car down!”As the guar
When Yama woke up, he realized that he was in chains and on his knees.Struggling to break free, a voice cut in at that moment.“Don't waste your breath, those chains are an artifact specifically used to hold down Apostles like you.”Yama glanced ahead to find Ethan seated on his throne.“You…” he glared at him icily but Ethan was unmoved as he replied.“Look down.” Yama didn't know why but he didn't dare to keep staring at Ethan so, he looked away.“What did you do to me?”Ignoring the question, Ethan intoned. “From now on, you shall heed my commands and any attempts to go against me shall end badly for you, do you understand?”“I heed no man!” Yama bellowed only for a frightening force to come down on him and send him crashing to the ground.Just then, Ethan whispered into his ears. “Do not test me.”Yama trembled as he realized that he was severely outmatched.“Spare me.” Yama pleaded.Ethan snorted as under normal circumstances, he would have ended Yama's life instantly but the m
