“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.

    Anna managed a melancholic smile as she remarked. “Sure.”Silence reigned for a bit as the duo exchanged eye contact only for Ethan to break the ice. “So wanna drive?”As he spoke, he dangled the car keys in front of Anna.“Fine, give them to me.” Anna ultimately relented, taking the keys from Ethan before getting into the car with Ethan following closely behind.Once inside, Anna started the car and drove out of the compound while Ethan gave her directions to where they were headed.***Horizon was a real estate company in Metro City that sold houses to rich folks.Because the properties they owned were mostly of the expensive variety, middle-class men didn't dare to show their faces in their establishments unless they were looking to be insulted.Anyway, Ethan had booked an appointment and so had come to honor it with Anna as his trusty sidekick.Of course, to avoid being recognized, he put on his white porcelain mask, intending to identify as Ghost during his house hunting escapade

    Ethan would never miss an opportunity to entertain his audience as he was well aware that it was to his benefit.Hence, seeing his old rival, a washed-up one no less, attempting to poach Anna was enough reason for him to start a stream and even put forward the ludicrous suggestion to compete in who could buy the bigger house.Naturally, knowing Roman and his incredibly large ego, the fool wouldn't hesitate to fall into the trap and as expected, he did.‘It's just too easy.’ Ethan thought inwardly, amused by Roman's inherent stupidity.“Well then.” Ethan suddenly remarked. “I believe we should call an agent to attend to our needs.”Just as he made to do so, a middle-aged man accompanied by his secretary and a few guards came down the stairs.Roman grinned triumphantly upon seeing the man. “Uncle!”‘Huh?’ Ethan was immediately taken aback by the exclamation.The middle-aged man turned in their direction and immediately flashed a smile. “If it isn't Nathan's son, Roman.

    Ethan watched as a medic tended to an unconscious Julius.It didn't take long for the ex-CEO of Horizon to awaken.He rubbed his temples as he muttered. “I just had a bad dream. I dream that I sold my company to a stranger.”“Uhmm sir…” His secretary seemed hesitant as she handed him the contract papers.Julius read through, his expression shifting with each passing moment.By the time he was done reading, his eyes were as wide as saucers.“Noooo!!!” He screamed as he jumped to his feet, intending to assault Ethan who was naturally ready as he leaped back.“Hey, I won fair and square, you can't do anything to me, and if you try to, expect a court case that you will surely lose.”Julius trembled as he had no means to argue with Ethan's true words.“Uncle…” Roman tried to speak up only for Julius to send a glare his way. “You bastard!... You caused this!... I should have never listened to you!”As he spoke, he charged Roman who was protected by his guards.Anna could no longer hold her

    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

    “We have to do something soon else these paupers would think they are on the same level with us.”In the video, Vivian was speaking with four others who were currently trying to hide themselves for fear of getting implicated with Vivian.“I have an idea. 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.”
