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. "Ethan, is everything alright?" Anna worriedly asked, noticing the expre

    “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

    He had thought that Ethan's exploits were grossly exaggerated by the representative of the GK Council that had informed him of his existence.How could one man do so much and yet have so little?Sure, he was rich, but wealth could only take one so far, and in the divine world, wealth was equivalent to grains of sand at the beach, completely worthless.The only important thing was power because it was only with power that one could truly dominate.Hadrian had learned this principle the hard way as he watched his siblings surpass him, leaving him in the dust.He'd always hoped for a means to grow his strength and Ethan's presence was meant to be his lucky break.A nameless fool who dared to do too much, he was asking to be made into an ingredient for ascension.But now, he realized that Ethan was not just roasted chicken served on a platter.He was a healthy lion, merely entrapped in a cage and if it were to ever get out, the damage it would cause would be impossible to fathom.Facing s

    "What the hell is happening?""I didn't see Ethan Jones move so why is that guy falling like a fool?""There has to be something going on that we don't know."As viewers tried to figure out what was happening, Hadrian got back to his feet, his breathing uneven as he finally realized that he wasn't falling because he was clumsy.That was hardly the case, after all, who was he?... He was the seventh prince of the Royal family of the Lumina Empire who served the First Man.Servitude to the First Man gave one superhuman capabilities, allowing them to be the best version of themselves.So how could he be clumsy?... But if he wasn't clumsy, that meant that he was falling for a completely different and humiliating reason. The truth was that Ethan was just hitting him too fast for him to catch.How was that possible?... Even if he was strong, that was just too much of a difference, right?Even his father could not hit him without him noticing yet Ethan had managed to accomplish such a feat.

    “We are being voted out of the national competition.”“What?” Ethan frowned upon hearing this. “Why?”“They claim that the window to carry out our qualifying matches to pick a champion has long since closed.”“That's utter bullshit, the competition window usually stays for a month at least.”“That's what I've said, but they aren't willing to listen. They had shown a desire to give us a chance after I got in with a few notable individuals in the National E-Sports Committee but something happened that caused them to change their minds. Now, they are saying that the window has closed.”“It's as you said, someone is conspiring against Metro City.”“According to what I learned, it's the Gonzalez family.”“Gonzalez?... Owners of PlayBox?” “That's them.” “Why are they coming for us?”“If I were to guess, they are scared. That's the only reason why they would be so adamant on keeping us out, especially since you are back.”Ethan glanced at Mr. Brewster, quickly realizing what he meant.Sinc

    The imperial capital of Lumina turned into a hive of activity as the news of Prince Hadrian's actions soon reached the ears of the nobles.To think that not only had the seventh prince attacked without the explicit permission of the imperial courtyard, but he had also lost.It was unthinkable and also served to shame the Imperial family for failing to raise a good prince.Naturally, this was a slap to the Imperial family's face but they could nothing but endure the insults as the court was indeed right.Hadrian's actions wouldn't be so bad if he had won but not only had he not won, he ended up being captured by a nameless civilian.This infuriated them even further and those in the Imperial family called for the deployment of the Army to deal with the peasant that dared to cause them such humiliation.How dare he make a fool out of them and even dare to capture Prince Hadrian, keeping him under house arrest?... Did he not even give the imperial family face enough to not treat the seve

    “Make the preparations. I do not want to risk anything that would prevent me from winning the upcoming elections.”“Understood.”The journalist dropped the phone before making yet another phone call. “Yes, Mr. Gonzalez, it's done.”“Good. Make sure not to mess this up.”“Yes, boss.” ***The reunion between Ethan and Louisa was incredibly special as Louisa didn't hesitate to show just how much she missed him, despite the looks sent her way.She planted a kiss on his lips and hugged him tightly, leaving Ethan no choice but to reciprocate.“I heard about what happened. I was so scared, I had to hurry back. Are you alright?” Louisa inquired worriedly.Ethan nodded. “Of course, you think they would be able to hurt me?”“You should be more careful and stop doing dangerous things all the time.”“Alright, alright, I hear you so can we get going now?... Anna is waiting for you and is dying to speak with you.”“Wait what?” Louisa immediately got nervous as she was aware of the special positio

The preceding six would ensure that nothing is left behind when they die, destroying their belongings, family, friends, and reputation until the accursed one is completely alone]Ethan didn't even know how to react upon seeing this as he had no clue how or when he'd been cursed.Before he could question the system, the lady who had run into his car cried out.“Everyone, look at the so-called hero of Metro City. Instead of helping me, he is lost in his thoughts.”The others quickly began to murmur.“Hmmph, he's probably trying to figure out a way to escape this.”“I thought he was a good person. I can't believe he turned out to be so irresponsible.”“This is what happens when evil people get a bit of fame. They no longer need to hold themselves back.”“We should get him canceled!”Just as the crowd began to get heated with so

    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.

    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!...

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?...

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.”
