Ethan's actions sent ripples throughout the audience as no one expected him to be so vulgar with his words, especially when his opponents were people of substance.“Oh wow, it seems we have been a bit too lenient with you, right?... Fine then, since you have decided to constitute a nuisance, we'd be more than happy to teach you a valuable lesson. Next time, you won't dare to do something so foolish.”“I hear you talking, but still no attempt to contest my bid,” Ethan remarked in a tone that left his opponents reeling as they glared at him.One of them on the platform scoffed. “Do you think that we'd believe that you have such an amount of money to spend?... Or are you planning on selling one of the companies you somehow managed to purchase.” “How I gained the money is none of your concern. What you should be worrying about is if you can bid higher, if not, I’d say it again, shut the hell up.”Naturally, the one that spoke didn't have such an outrageous amount to contest with Ethan an
“Don't try to scare me, I can see right through your pathetic little ploy. Mr. Brewster, I ask that you disqualify this scammer for daring to disrupt the audience and have him kicked out promptly so he doesn't cause further problems after which we can restart the selection process with people that are willing to participate and not mess around with silly games.”“Hmm, Miss Brown, I hope you understand that your accusations are without basis. If we do not prove that Mr. Ghost has done something unethical, then acting against him would be against my principles.”“Fine then, how about this. If he can pay the 8 billion dollars he mentioned, then I'd be more than happy to relinquish the title as winner of this process. If not, then I ask that he be humiliated for trying to mess around with us.”At this point, most in the audience had begun to agree with Stacy as they felt it highly suspicious that Ethan never showed any proof that he had the money that he was calling so wantonly.“Does he
The audience went into an uproar upon hearing what Kishimoto had to say.“Does this mean this Mr. Ghost is not a scammer?”“Are you dumb or you just can't hear well?... Didn't you hear what Mr. Kishimoto said?”“Doesn't this mean he is on an even greater level than Mega Sports and Gen-X?”“But he isn't involved in E-Sports, right?”“Does it matter?... It's clear he has plans of investing if not why would he get involved with the Ice Queen and now plan to sponsor almost fifty percent of the total expenditure for the competition.”At this point, even those who were unwilling had to accept that Ethan was not a simple man.Stacy was among them as she cursed inwardly, realizing that from the beginning there was no hope of winning.If only she had not been so aggressive, she wouldn't be forced to swallow a defeat so bitter.Naturally, the others who were with her didn't hesitate to place all the blame on her despite egging her on in the first place.Since a scapegoat was needed, she was the
Only after Mr. Kishimoto stepped forward and helped him out was he able to get a breather but even then, it didn't stop Mr. Kishimoto from also revealing his desire to be closely acquainted with him.Once upon a time, Mega Sports was like a dream to Ethan but now, he was seated at the same table as the owner.By the time he left, Ethan was aware of the names of Mr. Kishimoto's two daughters as well as their professions.“Are you alright?” Kiara inquired in slight amusement upon seeing Ethan's exhausted face.Ethan snorted. “What do you think?”“Mr. Kishimoto seems to want you as a son-in-law.” Kiara teased further with Ethan letting out a tired groan.“Please don't remind me. Aren't we in the modern era?... Why the hell is he still playing matchmaker.”Kiara chuckled. “Well, you are successful and quite handsome, as well as being young and having amazing vision. I doubt his daughters would be averse to the thought of being with you if they don't already have other commitments.”“Reall
86 was indeed a club for the wealthy.One only needed to step inside to feel like they had been transported to another world.Naturally, the builders had placed maximum effort into making the clubhouse a place one wouldn't want to leave after entering.The lights flashed intermittently, revealing a large dancefloor with men and women gyrating to the loud music being played by the DJ.“This place is crazy,” Ethan admitted as he was not a fan of clubs so this was the first time he was entering such a place.Kiara smiled as she replied. “I know right.”Meanwhile, Link led them to one of the VIP sections, away from the crowd that was in the normal section.The VIP section was mostly used by those that had won the favor of the manager or the owner but in Ethan's case, it was given because he was worth it.Link didn't dare think Ethan was someone to be disrespected so he wished to make sure he enjoyed himself thoroughly.So, he led them to VIP section twelve after which he ordered attendant
Naturally, his question drew knowing smiles from Clint and his group of cronies as they exchanged looks with one another.As far as they were concerned, their target had bit the bait and now, it was time to reel him in.“We can start now if you like,” Clint remarked as he gestured for Ethan to take the last remaining seat available.He naturally obliged while assuring Kiara that everything would be okay.With that, the game began.The dealer stepped forward and began to share the cards with a skill that showed that this wasn't his first rodeo.Ethan didn't even hesitate to turn on his skills while sending out a system notification to begin a stream.[Streaming has begun][Number of Views: 100][The Medicine God sends his greetings][The First Mother is happy to see you well][The Prodigy hopes that you haven't forgotten the agreement you made with her][????

“I don't accept this!” Clint bellowed as he got to his feet. “You must have cheated!... There's no way I lost!”Ethan raised a brow. “Now, now, don't be a sore loser, Mr. Clint. Even when I lost countless times, I didn't throw a tantrum neither did I accuse you of being a cheater even though you were cheating.”“What the hell do you know!... There's no way I would lose to the likes of a bastard like you!” “And I guess that's because you paid off the dealer, correct?”Realized he'd been caught, Clint immediately remarked. “You'd best not say anything you can't prove!”“I could say the same thing to you, I mean, what proof do you have that I cheated?”“You naturally cheated!” Clint still wasn't willing to back down.How could he accept that everything he'd bet would be gone just like that?... Others could lose, but not him!He was a special existence that shouldn't lose!“Stop trying to talk trash, Mr. Clint. If you are broke, just say so, there's no need to make so much noise. I'd be
It made the ladies wonder if they were just not to his liking.Ethan wasn't about to clear up any confusion.***Just as he had said, Kieran was at the bar alone.“Hey.” Kiara greeted as she came to sit beside him.Letting out a tired sigh, Kieran remarked. “Are you not going to reconsider my offer?”“No, Kieran. I don't plan on working for Sloan Inc. I hope you can understand that.” “I heard the person you picked as a sponsor won the selection process to find the third sponsor.”“He did.” A hint of pride was present in her response.Kieran's expression turned sour. “As a sponsor, he can't sponsor one of the contestants so how do you plan to resolve that?” “He isn't sponsoring directly. He opted to find both Mega Sports and Gen-X which served as an indirect way to sponsor the competition. So that frees him up to sponsor me directly.”“This is madness,” Kieran remarked coldly. “So you are willing to go through so much stress instead of just letting me in!... Damn you, Kiara!” Kiara
