“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 frowned as the envelope seemed quite suspicious.“You do not need to worry, young master, Mr. Aaron did a thorough check on it before allowing me to bring it to you.”“No danger?”“None.” The butler assured allowing Ethan to heave a sigh of relief.He may not be affected but that didn't mean he liked the idea of getting attacked in his house.It went to show that his house was not safe which was one thing he couldn't allow.Letting out a sigh, he resolved to turn Dusk Manor into a fortress as soon as possible to avoid situations like the one with Crossbones from happening.“Give it,” Ethan remarked with the butler moving to hand it over after which he stood aside, waiting for Ethan to read through.Ethan didn't seem to mind as he opened the letter and read through its contents, causing his expression to shift.“GK Council?” Ethan muttered softly as the title sounded familiar and unfamiliar for some reason.Reading through the letter, he was able to quickly summarize its contents
“You are quite bold, daring to come here despite knowing that it could be a trap.” The leader of the group, Nathan, intoned as he got to his feet.Ethan smirked. “If I came, naturally, it's because I have no reason to fear.”“Pride comes before a fall, Mr. Jones.” Nathan intoned calmly.“It has nothing to do with pride.”“Oh?”“I just don't have a reason to be frightened, so tell me, who are you and what did you want from me?”“I am Nathan, a butler from the GK Council. I am here to offer you a deal.”“What deal?” Ethan frowned.“We are aware that you have possession of the Titans Heart as well as the formula for Divine Awakening. We would like to purchase it.”“And you think I'd sell it to you?”“For the right price.” Nathan intoned with a smirk. “You see, to show our sincerity, we have taken our hands off of Reginald Williams. It is our knowledge that he is a man you despise.”Ethan frowned as a thought came to mind. “You guys are the organization that the Brewsters found out about
“Well shake it off, we have another event to attend tonight,” Ethan remarked causing Aaron to let out a resigned sigh.“Are things always this dangerous?”Ethan smiled. “Only on weekdays, weekends are usually calmer.”“Are you joking?”“You'll just have to find out. Now come on, we have work to do.” Ethan intoned before he began to walk away.Aaron let out yet another sigh.If he had known this was what he was signing up for, perhaps he might have given some more thought but considering what he'd seen tonight, he had a feeling he had made the right choice with becoming Ethan's right-hand man.Though he was knocked down, he was still conscious enough to watch Ethan beat down five Apostles with hardly any stress.If that was not the definition of a powerhouse, then what was?Excited by the prospects, Aaron swore to ensure he followed Ethan on his journey.It was sure to be a great ride.Soon enough, the convoy began its journey to where the event for the Sponsorship dinner was to take p
The Rainbow Palace was a billion-dollar structure built by the government four years back due to the resurgence in E-Sports brought about by Zero's amazing exploits in the gaming world. It had caused Metro City as a whole to become a tourist hub for gamers as they came in numbers to gaze upon the one known simply as Zero.Of course, after Zero's unfortunate imprisonment, tourist numbers had dwindled until it was almost non-existent causing it to become a massive problem for the government as it took quite a lot to maintain the structure.Due to this, the government had placed it up for auction which Mega Sports had won with help from Gen X, resulting in both companies becoming caretakers for the place.Considering the upcoming competition which was to decide the city's representative for the national championship, Mr. Brewster, owner of Gen-X along with Mr. Kishimoto, owner of Mega Sports, decided to use the opportunity to once again reopen the palace.Naturally, this caused a buzz i
It had always been like that since they knew each other.Kieran has chased while Kiara always rejected him, but that didn't stop the former as he relentlessly pursued her.He couldn't understand why.As the heir to the Sloan family, Kieran had it all.Money, looks, and power.He lacked nothing and wasn't afraid to show it, yet for some reason Kiara always rejected him.It got even worse after she learned about Zero as Kiara fell hopelessly in love with the man called Zero, to the extent that she abandoned everything to become a gamer.Now as a gamer who wasn't supported by her family's wealth, Kieran thought he would be able to finally get a chance to make Kiara his woman but how wrong he was.Even now she rejected him and that made him lose it.“What does he have that I don't?” Kiera questioned, unable to hold back any longer.At this point, their conversation has drawn the attention of quite a few with a journalist already taking notes at a corner. Aware that if she left him to con
Kieran didn't even know what to say as he watched Ethan beckon for one of the agents accompanying him to step forward with a briefcase.The agent casually opened it, revealing the bundles of cash inside causing Kiera to go red with anger as he cursed.“What the hell are you doing walking around with such a huge amount of money!?”Ethan grinned. “To put fools like you in their place.”“Damn you!... Do you think you are anything compared to my Sloan family?... I'll tell you now, no matter what you are worth, Sloan Inc. is greater than it. So you'd best watch yourself else you might find yourself losing the companies you are so proud about.”Ethan let out a sigh as it was clear that Kieran had no sense of when to take a step back.He was making a fool of himself at this point but unfortunately, his pride made him unable to see that.Since Kieran decided not to back down, Ethan was more than happy to put him in his place.“You keep on talking about Sloan Inc. when it isn't assured that yo
