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
[Transaction complete][Account balance: 1,100,000,000]Ethan nearly fell out of bed at the substantial sum displayed on the screen.To think that this was just the beginning.He couldn't help but wonder what awaited him at the end.Perhaps at that time, he would be worth the total of all the companies in the world.It was a rather novel thought.Of course, he didn't dwell on that and quickly moved to the next stop.[Due to hastened level up, the system has designed it better to hold off on the evolution process for fear of causing the host harm]Ethan thought back to the pain he felt when moving from level 1 to level 2 and couldn't help but thank the system for not automatically starting the evolution process.The pain would have knocked him out cold considering he jumped 3 levels in the space of a day.Taking a deep breath, he remarked. “I would like to start the evolution process now.”[Is the host sure of this?... You would be experiencing the process 3 times without pause]“That'
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. What are you doin
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
Larry didn't seem to appreciate Ethan's request as his expression turned sour.“Why are you asking for that?” He questioned.“Just curious. I don't believe there's anything wrong with asking for the property papers, correct?”“I have no reason to give them to you then.” Larry casually remarked, trying his hardest to prevent his displeasure from showing though his attempt was less than successful.Ethan didn't give up just yet as he remarked, addressing the couple who didn't seem happy with his intrusion.“I apologize but I'd like to confirm that you have purchased this house?”“Of course!... What do you think?... That we are lying?” The man asked, more upset than not.“Dear, do calm down.” The woman remarked before turning to Ethan. “We purchased this house two days ago. You see, we are new in the city and plan on moving soon so we decided to get a good place to stay.”“Ah, of course. I understand.” Ethan remarked with a nod.Seeing as the situation was going his way, Larry chuckled.
In the vast world of gaming, no one didn't know the term Gen-X.Gen-X was a foreign revolutionary company that produced gaming consoles, integrating new and exciting technologies to ensure that the console market remained fresh and competitive.Recently, they'd been partnered with another gaming company intending to produce a console that allowed one to utilize their entire body.According to reports, the gaming console was said to have been dubbed, a Gaming Pod.To think that he'd meet with two greats in the gaming world so casually, Ethan was left stunned for a moment or two.“I didn't know we were so famous,” John remarked smilingly.“Oh, you have no idea. Ethan has always been the first to purchase your products whenever it hits the market.”“Is that so?” John remarked only for Jane to speak up.“Aren't you Ethan Jones?” Both Ethan and Anna froze.“Uhmm…”“You are Ethan Jones, aren't you?” Jane remarked in similar excitement to Anna. “You are Zero.”John seemed to have realized t
