“I think I can do that. Don't worry, Mr. Jones; I am a magnanimous man, after all.”At this point, several had gathered around them, mocking Ethan for claiming to be something he was not. Just then, the host, Rebecca, arrived with a worker. “Mr. Kenan, please come with me so we can complete the payment process.”“Is there a need to go away from here?” Cassie asked, unwilling to miss the opportunity to humiliate Ethan further. “Just get a card reader here so that we can pay.”Kenan foolishly went along with her act as he nodded. “Yeah, there's no need to stress me; just get the items here, and I'll pay for them; it's as simple as that.” “I apologize, I'll get a card reader for you now.” Rebecca intoned before giving out orders to the worker with her who immediately rushed to do as she'd asked. It didn't take long for the worker to return with two others, one with a card reader and the other with the items placed in delicate packaging.Kenan grinned as he took out his card, which hap

There was no one among those present who wasn't aware of what a Black Gold card signified.Even those who had seen it before now were still stunned into silence, incapable of uttering a single word as Ethan handed the card over to Rebecca who was more than happy to take it.The process was concluded within a minute with no error codes or insufficient balance to stop it.Ethan took back his card with a casual look on his face before proceeding to order Aaron and the other two guards to take the items from the other worker.“A pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Jones, please do come again when you can.”Ethan flashed a smile as he replied. “Sure thing.”With that, he took one last look at the silent Kenan and Cassie before proceeding to take his leave.Cassie couldn't even do anything as she watched Ethan leave, accepting that she had destroyed her chances of ever getting on good terms with him.Regret left her completely listless as she let out a heavy sigh.***With the auction ove

Satisfied with this, he began. “It is an honor to meet with the Heavenly Generals.”“Enough with the theatrics; what does the man that somehow managed to turn Solaria from a monarchy to a democratic Republic want with us?” “Don't worry, I have no bad intentions.”“That much we are aware of. Your capabilities are for lack of a better word, quite intense. It would be best to not overdo things so the Imperial family doesn't feel threatened by your presence.”“Why would they be threatened?”“You'd know soon enough.” Chuckling in slight amusement, Ethan decided to go straight to the point. “There's been a breach in your information channels. Sensitive information that, in the wrong hands, could cause chaos in Lumina Empire is currently in my hands, and I got it from an auction. You should already know what this means?”“How can we be sure that you aren't just exaggerating the effects of the information you have received? We do not doubt your capabilities, Ethan Jones, but do not doubt ou

“Who put you up to this?” Ethan gruffly asked as he picked up Carl with one arm, raising him by his collar.Carl struggled but realizing he could not escape his fate, he stopped. “I don't know who he is.”Ethan's expression turned sour causing him to immediately raise his hands as he remarked. “But I can tell you this, he is an influential figure in the capital and I believe he wants to overthrow the current government but can't, maybe because he isn't strong enough or because he won't be able to survive the backlash, either way, he prefers to move in the shadows.”“Hmm.”“He is the one that approached me and told me to kill you.” “Why?”“I don't know, but he sounded worried, I don't know why,” Carl admitted sincerely.Nodding thoughtfully, Ethan muttered. “Alright then, anything else you need to tell me before I end you?”“Please spare me, I can be useful.”“How?”“That mysterious figure would surely show up to figure out if I have completed my task. You could set a trap for him.”

Leilani quickly turned back to find an intruder on her stage but instead of fright, endless joy sprouted in her heart as she could immediately tell who it was.Ethan, donning one of Anna's designs, was seated in a corner, playing the piano without a care in the world, his entire ambiance radiating class and heaven-defying charm.Women swooned upon seeing him, while men could only curse him in their hearts for being so handsome.Naturally, he ignored all of them and kept on playing, enjoying the benefits of being a blessed of Prodigy.As he kept playing, the entire hall was drenched in silence causing Leilani to gasp in admiration.If her voice was like an angel's, his movement was also quite angelic.Each key he pushed tugged a string in her heart and, by extension, several others as they were drawn to the performance.Finally, the short piece ended but that was only the beginning.Leilani sang and Ethan played, their duality creating a crescendo of music that swept everyone into thei

In the main hall, the event was going as planned, with several people interested in the prospects Ethan Jones and his company, Zeroth, had to offer to the thriving business landscape.However, just as they were about to reach the next phase of the itinerary, an explosion outside quickly caused everything to descend into chaos as everyone began to panic."Everyone, stay calm!... Everyone, please stay calm." The security men already placed around immediately moved to calm the audience, mostly succeeding in the attempt.But then, this wouldn't be enough as hardly the crowd started to calm down when gunshots were fired in the building, with a few men in masks revealing their firearms."Oh my gosh!""Run away!" This time, security could hardly hold them back as those in attendance rushed toward the exits in a panic, their thoughts fueled with the desire to escape.Thankfully, the masked men didn't bother to attack any of the attendees, instead hurrying backstage, where they met Ethan and

“I think not. This is much better for me, by the time I have taken over everything and left you with no means to escape, what would you do then?... Of course, we both know the answer to that already.” “Hear me and hear me well; I will look for you, I will find you, and I swear that I will kill you in the most painful way possible.”If the person on the other end was present before Ethan, Ethan would have seen the terror his words caused the person to feel as silence persisted for a moment before a response was heard.“You will serve as my springboard, Ethan Jones, I will win.”“We'll see about that.” With that, Ethan ended the call before proceeding to take a deep breath to calm his emotions.The other person had managed to rile him up but that won't happen again.No, he wasn't worthy of anger, but what he was indeed worthy of was death, and by tomorrow morning, he would have received it.That was his promise.

“Though no demands have been made, the guests are trapped in the building, giving them little opportunity to escape.”“So far, law enforcement has not shown up at the scene, and there doesn't seem to be any sign that they are on their way. With little idea on how things are going to proceed, we can only hope that Metro City survives this disaster.”Meanwhile, on the ground, the dignitaries and men of substance who were forced to stay inside began to complain."How long do we have to wait here?... What if those terrorists get tired of waiting and attack us?... Some are still even in the building right now!""How did these bastards infiltrate our city?""This is getting out of hand. We need to find our way out of here before the terrorists get restless.""Someone save us!... I don't want to die." It was clear that everyone was tense, with most worried about how they would survive the terror attack.Even the security forces deployed by Aaron were worried but not for the same reason the
