“Damn it, how useless can these police bastards be?... I forked over more than 30% of my worth and yet they still haven't caught that bastard. What the fuck am I supposed to say?” Don Falcon cursed loudly as he glared at the messenger who had delivered him reports of how the attack had turned out.He'd expected to see Ethan before him, pleading for his life like the worm he is, but instead, he somehow managed to break out of a surprise encirclement by the police and escaped with no injuries.Didn't this mean that the police were incompetent?... How else were they unable to deal with one man?“Don, please be patient, there's no way that man can leave Rhodes Island. It's only a matter of time before he's caught and brought to you.”“Do you think the current state of things came to be maintained?... Fucking do what needs to be done before important families in the city start getting restless. When that happens, do you think the police would be able to mobilize like they did today?” Don q
“You dared to show your face despite sensing my presence, it seems you have a death wish,” Hawk remarked coldly as he glared at Ethan.Unmoved by the threat, Ethan intoned. “Not really.”“Well, now that I've found you, you can forget about leaving here alive. I heard you call Don Falcon a frog in a well. Well then, watch how this frog teaches you a lesson in humility. I can assure you that once I'm done with you, you won't even be able to take two steps without crying.”“Has anyone told you that you talk too much?” Ethan inquired causing Hawk's face to sour.“What?”“Stop talking and make a move already. I'm getting bored just standing here.”“How dare you!... Do you have a death wish?”“Boss, let's shoot this bastard down. Does he think we don't dare to kill him?”“Yeah boss, let's teach him a lesson!”As Hawk's men clamored to have a go at Ethan, Ethan merely yawned while Hawk bellowed.“Shut up!” With that, his subordinates went silent and even some trembled, growing pale at the p
Ethan moved in the shadow of night, stealthily checking on the situation in the city.Contrary to his expectations, the police patrols hadn't reduced and instead had gotten a substantial increase in quantity as policemen patrolled the streets at every corner, knocking on houses and searching thoroughly without pause.Ethan clicked his tongue, Don Falcon truly had the power to be able to mobilize the police in such a way which was amusing considering he was supposed to be the head of the black market and overall master of crime in the city.It seemed it was no exaggeration when they had claimed him to be the one in control of Rhodes Island.Perhaps even the Island governor couldn't be compared to him concerning connections.Regardless, this only exacerbated Ethan's desire to end the bastard's life.Since he was so keen to take Ethan's life, then naturally, Ethan wouldn't back down and would show the same intensity in taking his life.However, the police and general law enforcement curr
“Who are you?” The butler asked in a somewhat aggressive tone as he cocked the shotgun, poised to shoot the moment Ethan made the wrong move.Naturally, Ethan could evade if he wanted to but knowing that doing so would only increase the butler's apprehension towards him, he decided to take a different approach.“I am but a nameless wanderer, like a rolling stone I have no place to call my own. You may call me Ghost.” Ethan recited while feeling his toes curl.Did it have to be so cringe?The butler remained unconvinced. “How did you get past security and why are you here?” “Apologies for coming here unannounced but I am here on the orders of those beyond human understanding to help those in need.” The butler furrowed his brows. “What do you mean?”“Isn't this house in need of help?... I am here to offer up my help.”The butler was just about to speak when an arrogant-looking man arrived. “Albert, who is this?”“Ah, young master Karan, he claims to be here to help us.”Karan raised a
Taking a moment, he searched up on Karan.[Name: Karan Walia][Description: Informant of Don Falcon. Hates his sister, Lakshmi, because she is better than him in all ways. Because of her capabilities, Rowan named her his successor and Karan didn't like that which is why he helped Don Falcon to poison his sister]Ethan finally understood Karan better.If he was right, it meant that maybe Lakshmi wasn't dead yet.However, he had to be sure by seeing her before making any conclusive statements.Finally, he arrived in the room Lakshmi was kept in.It was very big and at the center of the room was a large bed with a very pale woman laying on it.The woman looked frail and her chest was no longer moving.Ethan stood at the door as he also searched for her using the [Search] function of the system.[Name: Lakshmi Walia][Description: Currently medically dead. Her body has been poisoned beyond repair and has almost shut down completely with her brain being the only organ still barely function
Karan glared at Ethan as he remarked. "Why you…" “Are you not going to speak up?” Ethan inquired, ignoring the daggers sent his way.“Guards, kick this bastard out of here!” Karan bellowed with some of the security men heeding his words.Rowan spoke up at that moment. “Stand down!” However, the security men only paused for a moment to glance at Karan who gave them the go-ahead signal.Rowan was shocked.When did he lose control of his house?“Karan, what is the meaning of this?”Karan snorted. “You better stay out of this old man, you are no longer allowed to say anything.”“Karan, are you out of your mind?... That is your father!” One of Rowan's brothers scolded but Karan didn't even put him in his eyes.“From this day forth, I am the head of the Walia family, whoever doesn't want that can speak up now so I can end their sorry existence.”“How dare you say such while I'm still alive?” Rowan questioned only for Karan to point a gun at him before slowly cocking it.“Not for long.”“K
“Give me two hours. I would like to think about this.”“Alright then, I'll be waiting.” Ethan calmly replied before making his way out of the room.Letting out a sigh, Rowan asked his family members to leave while getting one of them to call in a few guards to deal with the dead bodies.***[Congratulations to the host, you have completed half of the mission]Ethan let out a sigh as he stared at the system notification.Even though he had managed to discover why Rowan no longer fought Don Falcon, it made no difference if it meant that the Commissioner wouldn't help him out.To think that a single day could be so stressful.He might have to reconsider traveling in the future if it would always be this eventful.Taking a deep breath, he calmed his nerves only to notice someone approaching.It turned out to be Lakshmi.“You shouldn't be out of bed so quickly. You need rest.” Ethan calmly intoned.Lakshmi smiled. “I know, my father said that as well. However, how could I pass up the chanc
“Damn it, how hard can it be to find one man?... If we don't find that bastard by the end of the day, Don Falcon will have our heads, do you understand that?” Inspector Ralph remarked, scolding the officers standing in his office.“Sorry sir, but we are trying our best. It's just that this man is quite skilled. I mean, he somehow managed to escape the encirclement back at the hotel.”“Do you think I care about that?... You'd best not make me think of you fools as unable to do your jobs, else, I might just have to discuss your punishment with Don Falcon.”The officers trembled as they knew that only someone on the level of Commissioner Rowan could stand against Don Falcon.Ever since he left, they had turned into Don Falcon's pawns, doing what he told them with no chance of going against him.Inspector Ralph snorted. “Just get out of my office and get back to work. I need to see results!”“Yes sir!”Immediately, the officers rushed out of Ralph's office, leaving him to let out a sigh.
