Naturally, considering it was a rather high-stakes game, it didn't take long before the bets began to get placed with even those of the main family partaking in the bets.

“Who's your money on?”

“Are you kidding?... Who else if not Prince Lucian? That dude has the Army of the Sun backing him. Do you think that he would have any issues winning?”

“Remember, the competition isn't just about strength, it's also about a person's exploration skills. If they can't find treasures, then what's the point?”

“Hmmph, even if they can't find treasures, it won't be difficult to kill others and take it from their corpse, it's not like anyone would be able to contend with the combined might of the Army of the Sun.”

“What about Ethan Jones?... Didn't you see him beat back that armored soldier with a single kick?... That guy shouldn't be underestimated.”

“You'd be a fool for thinking that Ethan can contend with Lucian. The forest is unpredictable, anything can happen at any time and there's nothing that

    “My prince, we just received word from our spies, that the ambush failed.” An armored soldier reported to Lucian whose expression was less than pleased as he glared at the soldier.“How the hell did that bastard manage to take down almost twenty Apostles by himself?... Does that even make any sense?... Even if the Apostles are newly inducted, they are still a formidable force when put together. How is it that they didn't even manage to injure him?”“From what we could gather, it seems this Ethan Jones is no ordinary figure. His strength was nothing short of terrifying.”“What the hell are you saying?... Does that mean that he is untouchable?”“That is hardly the case but the problem is that we underestimated him. Based on how he was able to quickly dispatch the attackers, I have to assume that he is at least a Level 8 Apostle.”“Impossible!” Lucian didn't want to believe it after all, what did that say about him since he was merely a Level 6?Growing stronger for an Apostle was an ard

    “It's my family. After the eradication of the betrayers in my family, it severely impacted our strength. We found out that a lot of what we owned had already been given to our rivals, the Dumonts. Unfortunately, due to how weakened we are at the moment, we can't get it back.”“So what do you want me to do?”Trina let out a sigh. “My grandfather is too proud to admit it but the fact is that with everything we have to do and the fact that we had a significant chunk of our money embezzled which we are trying to get back, we are too broke to reclaim the assets taken from us by the Dumonts.”“Okay?”“But the Dumonts are unable to maintain those assets due to how big they are. So they are hosting an auction to sell the assets to those that can keep them so they can make money off of our properties.”“You want me to participate in the auction.” Ethan calmly remarked.Trina nodded reluctantly. “I know I'm asking for too much but I'm tired of seeing my grandfather so stressed. He built the Par

    Ethan stood tall as he glared at Lucian, the latter forced to retreat as a formless pressure descended heavily upon his shoulders, leaving him little room to maneuver.Lucian trembled involuntarily as he exclaimed. “Impossible!... How are you still alive!... Defending such an attack shouldn't be possible!”“Time and again, I have let you off, hoping that you would not take things too far.” Taking a deep breath, Ethan continued. “But I see now that I was wrong. For enemies like you, there is only one reasonable end and that is death!”“Young master, retreat!... I'll cover your exit.” The armored soldier that had been taunting Ethan earlier was also now scared out of his wits as he realized that they had offended someone they absolutely shouldn't have.Even the leader of the Army of the Sun would have no choice but to accept death if faced with the same attack Ethan had so easily survived.This meant that their initial assumption of Ethan being Level 8 was wrong.This bastard was at lea

    Ethan paused before glancing at Argyle who thought he had managed to stop Ethan.But then, a mocking laugh escaped Ethan's lips causing Argyle to frown.“If I had died, would you have cared so much?... I'm sure you'd have even celebrated. But because the person about to die is Lucian, you can speak up. Unbelievable.”“That's the difference between you and him. His death would have severe repercussions while yours would not. It's not fair but that's the way life is.”Ethan sneered. “You can be selfish, but I can't. Unfortunately, Mr. Argyle, I do not plan on listening to whatever it is you wish to say.”“Don't do this, Ethan,” Argyle remarked as he knew he couldn't stop Ethan if he decided to go ahead and kill Lucian.“Go back to your seat, Argyle, even the gods won't stop me from ending this fool today.” Ethan intoned as he kept moving, exposing his back to Argyle.Argyle gritted his teeth and was about to launch a surprise attack only to stop as Lucinda appeared, shielding Ethan's ba

    “The Solarian envoy is here!” Lucinda let out a tired sigh as she replied. “Let him in.”“I am already here!” The person who spoke swiftly revealed himself, accompanied by a contingent of men from the Army of the Sun, each one with an imposing aura that left one breathless.“Ah, so it's Sir Donald, I wasn't expecting you.” Lucinda intoned with a slight grimace.Sir Donald was Lucian's uncle and was quite influential among Solarian royalty. For the king to have sent him meant that this matter involving Lucian's death was not going to be something easily brushed aside.Hence, the reason for Lucinda's grimace as she knew she was in for a tumultuous ride.True to her observation, Donald wasted no time in getting to the crux of the matter.“The third prince died on Treasure Island, under your watch no less, what do you have to say for yourself, Miss Lucinda?” Donald harshly questioned.“An unfortunate turn of events, Sir Donald.”“Has the culprit been captured?... Where is he?”“He isn'

    Argyle grimaced as he responded. “It is your responsibility to ensure that this family remains at the top and continues to soar. Also, it's because of you that Lucian is dead, if you hadn't brought in this weapon of mass destruction, none of this would have happened.”“Instead of blaming everyone and seeking the easy way out, I'd have expected much better from a man that stands as the patriarch of the illustrious Goldberg family.” Ethan intoned as he stood beside Louisa causing Argyle to glare at him.“And who are you to say such rubbish?”“The man that doesn't waste a second to stand up for himself or his family. The man who won't back down when his family is threatened. So tell me, who are you!?” Ethan shot back, leaving Argyle unable to respond.Ethan shook his head. “I am honestly disappointed. I expected much better from the family stated to be one of the top fifty most influential families in Lumina Empire.”“Apologies for the lackluster showing, Ethan, but the truth is we are i

    It didn't take long for the world to experience upheaval as all countries in possession of nuclear weapons had control over their artillery hijacked, resulting in them being unable to access any of it.This naturally left most tense as they struggled to regain control with no small effort only to be denied by Poltergeist who was more than capable of maintaining control as long as she wished.It didn't take long before these unlucky countries realized that not only had control over their weapons cache been snatched from under their noses, it had also been activated, with most pointed in the direction of the capital of Solaria, SunCity.Even Solaria was not spared from the madness as even their weapons cache was stolen from them after which it was then pointed back at them, leaving them helpless to do anything.By the time Ethan arrived in the capital city, Solaria was already in a countrywide state of emergency as the citizens were too terrified to stay calm, with most struggling to fi

    “Because I will decimate not just you, but the entire royal family as well, Caesar, I will erase your family name from history if you do not do as I have said. Try me.” Ethan coldly remarked, leaving Caesar no room to give a response.Gritting his teeth, Caesar glared at Ethan. “You will regret this.”“No, I don't think I will. So make your choice.”Caesar replied. “I accept your conditions.”“Smart choice,” Ethan remarked. “Since I'm generous, you have three days to get everything done after which you will leave Solaria to anywhere else. Think carefully about what you'd take as you leave because you can only take as much as ten million when leaving.”“What?” Caesar could hardly believe his ears. “What do you mean?”“The rest of your family wealth will be used as grants to third-world countries to help those in need.”“You are going too far!”“Going too far would be massacring everything you hold dear after which I would then have you killed. This, Caesar, is tame in comparison.”Caes

    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.”
