There were quite a few people who had held a grudge against Ethan during his reign at the top.Selena was one of them.She'd been his girlfriend for a while but she cheated and was caught with Ethan kicking her out of his life permanently.Since then, she'd held a deep-seated hatred toward him which was why when he was arrested and stripped of his honors, she was one of those who celebrated his downfall.To think that he would run into one of his crazy exes in such a place, Ethan couldn't help but feel amused at the opportunity that had fallen onto his lap.“I don't care if you were let out of prison or not but I'm well aware that you are no longer the number one gamer of the past. Right now, you are an ex-convict with nothing to his name. What could a bum like you be doing in an upscale place like Threads?”“I doubt our movement is any of your business.” Anna spat back earning a snort from Selena.“Oh please, can it? Brokies like yourself are better suited for thrift stores where thi

“I'll tell you straightforward, Mr. Jones, I'd like you to get out of my store,” Lucas remarked without mincing words, his words laced with contempt.Ethan raised a brow. “I've never seen a business owner that didn't want money.”“And what money could someone like you possibly have?” Selena inquired in derision.“What's it to you?”“I just don't want Innocents to end up getting scammed by you.”“Quite generous,” Ethan remarked. “But perhaps you should focus on completing your shopping.”“Oh?... Do you think I'm like you, Ethan dear?... Alright, wait a moment, let me show you the difference between us.” Saying that, Selena placed what she wished to buy on the counter with the cashier quickly getting the bill for her.“Your bill is $450,000, ma'am.” Taken aback at first, Selena immediately remarked. “Can't you see that I know your boss?... Lucas, tell them to give me a discount.” Lucas glanced at her. “You know I can't do that. I don't own Threads, I can't give out discounts unless I

Flashing a satisfied smile seeing Selena utterly defeated, Ethan decided to add a final nail to her coffin because… why not?He turned to the cashier and remarked while pointing at the clothes Selena had picked for herself. “Add these to my bill as well. I'd like to take them with me.”The cashier promptly did as instructed after which Ethan got Jerome to help him with the bags.“Thanks for the help,” Ethan remarked once he'd gotten to his car with Jerome nodding.“Happy to help.”“What's your account number?”“Sir?”“I'd like to give you a tip, you accept those right?”“Yeah, I do but there's no need.”“I insist.” Ethan calmly replied causing Jerome to ultimately relent as he called out his account number.Ethan calmly got the system to transfer some money to the account while acting like he was doing so with his cell phone.Jerome's phone rang causing him to pull it out only to freeze as he set eyes upon the so-called too Ethan had sent.“Sir, isn't this too much?... A whole 100 gra

“And here I was worried that we won't be getting any service today,” Ethan remarked.The girl, maintaining her warm demeanor, replied. “Apologies sir, my colleagues are busy. However, I am here now and I'm ready to take your order.”“That's great. What's your name?” “Brenda.”“Alright, Brenda. Can we have the menu?”“Yes, sir,” Brenda replied as she handed over menus to both of them.Anna could barely keep herself from gasping as she looked at the unbelievable prices of the meals.Meanwhile, Ethan seemed quite laid-back as he scanned through. “I'll have numbers 3,6, 8, and 11.”“And you, miss?” “... I don't know,” Anna muttered as she glanced at Ethan.“Just pick whatever you want.”Pursing her lips, she replied. “I'll have numbers 12 and 15.”“Add the same thing I ordered for her as well.” Ethan calmly said causing Anna to stare at him in incredulity.“You just survived cancer. We need to celebrate.”“But still…”“You can go ahead and get the order.”Brenda hesitated at first as th

Leroy returned to the kitchen with a smug look on his face, quite satisfied with how he had handled the situation.As far as he was concerned such brokies didn't even deserve to be eating at the restaurant.His initial thought was to kick them out but decided it would be better to teach them a lesson.Next time, they wouldn't dare to set their feet into such a fine establishment reserved for the wealthy.Brenda rushed in at that moment. “Chef, don't you think…”“Just shut up and get to work else I'll have to consider telling the manager to slash your salary. To think you'd have the audacity to take my meal to such people, I should have your job.”Brenda trembled as she understood Leroy's position in the restaurant.When Jenkins wasn't around, Leroy served as a stand-in manager and so was capable of making important decisions.So though she wished to stand up for Ethan and Anna, she found that she had no power to do so.Feeling regretful, she returned to her post while Leroy went about

It all happened so quickly that Leroy only realized the danger he was in after it was all but done.Sweating profusely, he tried to appease a rather annoyed Jenkins. “Jenkins my friend.”“Leroy, what the hell is this?... Who made this disgusting dish?”“Ahem, well you see…”“Don't beat around the bush, Leroy, please, get straight to the point,” Ethan remarked while grinning from ear to ear.Leroy didn't even dare to glare at Ethan as he was well aware that he was now his boss.“Ahem, well, you see, Jenkins, the truth is that…”“He made it, Jenkins. Tell me what is the punishment for intentionally making bad food and serving it to a customer?” Ethan calmly inquired.Jenkins replied without hesitation. “They would be immediately fired!”“No, please, have mercy. I promise it won't happen again.” Leroy pleaded as he dropped to his knees, completely discarding his previously aloof stance.At this point, those who had initially laughed at Ethan's predicament found themselves unsure of how t

Ethan initially planned to be low-key and avoid drawing attention to himself but Lucia had not only decided to come to his table, she also decided to make trouble as well.If he continued to stay quiet, he wouldn't be able to call himself a man after this, hence the reason he decided to speak up.Of course, there was another, more obscure reason.[Emergency mission has been created][Mission Title: A Lesson in Humility][Goal; Put Lucia Williams in her place][Reward: Fame +10, 200 EXP][Failure: Loss of views]Though the punishment for failure was not life-threatening, he had no reason to refuse the mission, especially with the pleasant rewards waiting at the end.So with renewed vigor, he had only one thought in mind; teaching Lucia a lesson!“Do you understand now?... Or do I need to repeat myself?” Lucia remarked at that moment.Ethan raised a brow. “Not at all. In fact, how about I be your host for the evening.”“Hmmph, it's good that you are back to your senses. Otherwise, I'd h

“Miss Lucia, your threats won't work. You owe my restaurant five million and if you don't pay, I won't hesitate to get my money, one way or another.” Ethan calmly remarked earning a glare from Lucia.“Is that a threat?” “Hardly.”“You bastard!... My father has invested so much in this company yet…”“Your father has not invested a single penny into Savour. I checked and the best he has done is lease out a piece of property for our usage and even then the property doesn't belong to him and was instead owned by Ethan Jones.”Lucia hadn't expected the truth to come out like that causing her to go silent as she found herself unable to refute his words.Just then, Anna commented. “To think that the daughter of the great Williams family isn't able to foot the bill for the meals she ordered. Quite unfortunate.”Lucia glared at her. “You better shut your mouth.”“I'm only telling the truth.”Before Lucia could say anything in response, Ethan cut her off.“I'm still waiting, Miss. Several othe
