“I'm sure we are all aware of the great and mighty, Lumina Empire, which is regarded as one of the top powers in world politics. This envelope holds information that could potentially cause the nation to fracture. Even if it doesn't fall, its power to make global decisions would be affected. So ladies and gentlemen, for such a precious item, we shall start the bid at 100 million dollars. I believe this is not too small, correct?” Poltergeist remarked with a mischievous grin.

None gave a response and just like that, the auction began.

The first to bid was a man wearing a skull mask.

[105 million] appeared above his head.

“And we have 105. Do I hear 120?” Poltergeist said.

[120 million]

Before she could even speak up, another displayed 130 and then another displayed 150.

Just like that, Ethan watched as the value climbed from a hundred to five hundred and it was still climbing.

It seemed these people understood the value of the information on Lumina Empire.

Just then, one of those who

    Lady Spice's expression looked bitter as she glared daggers at Ethan.If she could, she would flay him alive for daring to humiliate her like this.When was the last time someone had dared to be so presumptuous in her presence?[100 billion]She placed yet another bid only for Ethan to counter it.[200 billion]“Are you really planning on making Northland an enemy?” Lady Spice questioned aggressively.As it was, she had been given a budget of 300 billion.She had planned to purchase information on Lumina Empire and also prevent any information on Northland from getting out.Who would have thought that Ethan would cause her to go above her budget on just one item?How would she be able to meet the Empress to let her know that she had lost such precious information?Clicking her tongue, she knew that if she went too far, then it might be possible that this nameless bastard would just purchase any information on Northland that was available and that was something she couldn't do.“I'll

    “Going once, going twice… sold!” Poltergeist exclaimed.Reginald watched in horror as the envelope floated towards Ethan.Despite his best efforts, he understood that facing Ethan head-on was a flawed process from the start.He clicked his tongue in frustration just as Ethan turned to look in his direction.Even as he was completely covered in a dark cloak, Reginald felt mockery in the gaze directed towards him.To think that he would end up losing so badly, he cursed himself for leaving Ethan alive.If he had known such a day would come, he would have contacted people in the penitentiary to end Ethan's life.Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret and all he could do now was damage control.Having gotten what he already wanted, Ethan had no reason to stay but he was curious to know what else Poltergeist had to sell.The subsequent items, though intriguing, weren't things that directly affected him so he didn't bother to bid for them.Soon enough, the auction ended and Polterg

    Ethan didn't think that renewing the license was a problem though so they didn't discuss much on that. So, he ended the call soon after and reached out to Francisca to organize a meeting for all the managers from all the companies he'd purchased to attend.With Gamer Boy complete, he felt it was time to begin the first steps toward a merger.Of course, the question remained on what exactly would be the face of the company.With so many sectors, it was bound to be a tough decision.Scheduling a meeting for tomorrow, Ethan ended the call and intended to reach out to the Brewsters next when an explosion in front caught his attention.The girls were immediately gripped by terror as voices were heard across the intercom shared by Aaron and his men.“We are under attack!... The attackers are unknown, secure the main cargo and ensure they reach their destination!”Before a response could be given, yet another explosion occurred, this time behind the car.Whoever orchestrated the attack was

    Crossbones expression turned ghastly as he stared at Ethan.He had planned to use the chaos caused by the attack to take Anna and the other girls as hostages, forcing Ethan to enter into a weakened state so he could finish him off easily.Judging from what Reginald had told him, Ethan was supposedly an Apostle who was on very good terms with his patron deity, which meant he would be difficult to handle in a one-on-one fight.But this didn't mean Crossbones was going to back away now that the target was before him.Grinning wickedly, he remarked. “Well, well, if it isn't the great Ethan Jones. One would think after you were released from prison, you'd live a low-key life, but no, you just have to be a pain in the ass.”“I'm guessing Reginald sent you.”“Does it matter?”Ethan shook his head. “No, just wanted to be sure.”“Boss, I thought you went in a different direction.”“I had a gut feeling so I decided to tail you guys. Thankfully I did else the situation would have been much worse

    Ethan stepped up and explained only to receive a scolding from Anna for trying to act like Superman.Naturally, he could only allow her to conclude her rant before she finally hugged him, thankful that he was okay.At this point, one might think she was his mom and he was an irresponsible child.In any case, once that was done, they headed back to where their car had crashed before finally finding the road only to discover that Aaron had managed to beat back the enemies, though at the cost of five officers.“I'm sorry.” Ethan apologized once he learned of this.Aaron shook his head. “It's not your fault. We were the ones who chose to accept employment under you. We were already prepared for loss.” “I understand.”“Just tell me you know the bastard that dared to ambush you.”Aaron was looking for someone to vent on and who else but the person who made the ambush happen?Ethan nodded while pointing at an unconscious Crossbones. “We won't let any of them off.”Aaron seemed satisfied as

    Seeing Francisca come to her aid, Lilian immediately grew bolder as she cried out. “Young miss, save me, these men are accusing me wrongly.”“Sir Ghost, what's going on?... Surely there has to be a reason you wish to detain Lilian.” Francisca remarked.“Were you the one in charge of the convoy that was designed to bring me back home?”“That…” Francisca trailed off as she realized her mistake.Ethan had informed her not to delegate that task to anyone else but because she trusted Lilian, she hadn't considered it then but now, she realized there was something deeper going on.“Sir, is there a problem?”“The convoy was ambushed and five men died trying to deal with the enemies. You tell me if that's a problem or not.” Ethan remarked.“This… but how come?”“I have enemies, Francisca, which is why I warned you not to let anyone know of the convoy yet you went ahead to give this traitor. Do I take it that you are tired of working for me!?” Ethan questioned harshly.As much as he tried to re

    “Damn it, let me go!... I did nothing wrong!” Bill exclaimed as he continued to struggle in the hands of the security guards dragging him away.The security guards didn't even act like they heard him, acting like it was a mosquito buzzing annoyingly in their ears.As far as they were concerned, it didn't matter if Bill had done something wrong or not.Since Philip had asked them to throw him out, they would do just that.In any case, it's not like Bill had any sort of backing that they needed to be wary of, so they could do whatever they wanted.“Stop talking so much else I might just forget you are an old geezer and teach you a lesson.” One of the guards warned before proceeding to kick Bill in the shin, eliciting yet another pained cry from him.Of course, this ruckus attracted attention from those present but no one bothered to act like they cared as they murmured among themselves.“What do you think happened?” “What else?... I'm sure he overstepped and now has to pay the price.”

    Philip wasn't knowledgeable in the ways of the divine in the first place which was why he was so terrified of a man that could force him to sit with a simple glance.“Look, I don't want any trouble, okay?... If you touch me, you are going to need to explain yourself to the authorities.”Ethan chuckled. “Do you think they would care about a lackey like you if I pay them enough?”Philip's heart tightened as he knew the answer to that question was a resounding no.Several government workers had been snuffed out for daring to offend the wrong person and now, he seemed to be on the cusp of that as well causing him to gulp nervously.It was then he recalled something as he felt like Ethan's title was familiar.Ethan chuckled seeing Philip go through several stages of fear.“So you know fear, yet you dared to bully my family member?... You must have a death wish.”Philip got to his knees and began to kowtow as he remarked. “Please spare me, I had no idea he was your family member. If I had k

    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

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.”
