The bid for which city would host the national competition was to be held at the Celestial Center which was the biggest art exhibit in the nation.

It was a place that housed some of the greatest artifacts to ever appear in the Lumina Empire and was owned by the imperial court.

Due to its special identity, only those who had tickets were allowed entry, and those who didn't have, no matter how great they were, would be sent packing.

It was such a place that the national body in charge of E-Sports had chosen to hold its bidding event, and this was due to the influence of the Gonzalez family, who were close to the imperial family.

They had managed to entice major officials within the national body to ensure that they would support them in the current bid.

Due to their special position, they were the ones leading the attack against Ethan Jones otherwise known as Zero.

The other families had already accepted that they wouldn't be able to go against the Gonzalez family and so were satisfied

    “If I were him, I'd leave before things escalate but I guess some people just don't understand when to retreat and when to fight.”“He should stay if he wants; I'm quite inclined to watch him get beat up; after all, I've always hated how much people praise him in the gaming community.” Naturally, their words did not escape John's hearing as they spoke with the intention of him hearing them.John gritted his teeth in anger but knew he couldn't just leave.If he left, then Emiliano would have won and that would have defeated the point of coming to the capital.Ethan had done so much to ensure that their goal was fulfilled so would he just abandon it because things had gotten tough?Of course not, he was a man that had pushed through with sheer grit to reach the heights he was at today.So this would not stop him from achieving his goal. Taking a deep breath, he remarked. “I'd like to speak to the man in charge.”“Are you stupid?... Why the hell would I take you to him?... I've already

    As the guard struggled to hold his ground against Ethan, those who were watching commented on the scene.“Does he plan on bullying a guard just because he can't attend the event legitimately?”“Hmmph, pathetic, this Ethan Jones is nothing like they claim him to be.”“Are there ever celebrities that are the way they seem?... At least we can all say that he is no longer trying to hide it.”“True that.”Picking up on an opportunity, Emiliano didn't hesitate to make his way forward.As shocked as he was, he knew that he needed to stop Ethan else he might end up turning out to be a threat to the plans of the Gonzalez family.“Mr. Jones, at least try to understand that not everything revolves around you. How can you be so blatant in your attempts to bully a man who's just doing his job?”Ethan raised a brow as he watched Emiliano approach.Even a fool could tell that Emiliano was planning to paint him in a bad light to the press.If he succeeded, that alone would be enough to ensure that he

    “He is done for. I doubt he would be able to go against the crown.”“But didn't he claim that the crown couldn't hold him down?”“Hmmph, don't tell me you believe that nonsense. The bastard is just a huge liar. Watch how he gets put in his place within a few seconds.” “Sure, let's watch.”Excited to see Ethan be taught a lesson, they watched as Aquila walked over to Ethan only to remark.“I'm sorry for being late, I had to take care of some matters.” She remarked in a cordial tone. Ethan replied. “That's fine. It's good that you are here.” The silence that followed was beyond deafening as several struggled to make sense of what was happening.Emiliano was the most shocked of the flock as he stared in disbelief as Ethan exchanged kind words with Aquila.Weren't they enemies?... Why did it seem like they were close friends instead?He had initially thought she was here to finish the job concerning Ethan but that didn't seem to be the case.He couldn't understand it causing him to cal

    Ethan and John made their way into the main hall where the bid was to take place.With the Gonzalez family removed from the bid due to reports of foul play and Ethan's entry into the competition, few were still confident about whom would win the bid, considering what was involved.Of course, with the Gonzalez family gone, that meant that more people would be willing to take part in the bid.“So how are we doing this?”“We will be putting down what we are willing to offer to ensure the national competition is successful. This means that not just money, we have to prove that we have a good location. Considering, we have the backing of the Goldberg, then we have have much to worry about.”“Apart from the Gonzalez family, is there anyone else we need to worry about?”“Even though they are gone, their supporters are still around so we need to watch out for them.”“Alright then.”With that, the officials of the E-Sports Committee stepped out with the head, Mr. Sid, leading them.“Good day,

    “We are all wasting time here, we need to deal with Ethan Jones before it is too late. Do you have a plan to do so?”Rook replied. “Just wait and see.” “You'd best not fail.”"Don't worry, I won't, you can trust me.""Hmmph, fine then. Let's go."***The hall was no longer as filled as before with some patrons having already left early, having learned that their submissions were rejected.Those sensible enough had already concluded that Ethan was going to win the bid uncontested. Now they understood why the Gonzalez family had tried to stop him from attending.A terrifying man indeed!Of course, others remained with the intent of seeing things to the end. With that said, the E-Sports Committee once again stepped out with Mr. Sid once again leading them. "Ladies and gentlemen, Apologies for the waste of time but I am happy to say that the decision has been made." He began.Having already heard rumors, John was optimistic as he remarked. “I guess congratulations are in order.” Jus

    Ethan wasn't as pressured as when he stood before the Visionary that had possessed Aquila but that didn't mean Rook was any less threatening.A deity that could ignore the heavenly laws to appear in the mortal realm was not one to be lax around.He had already begun streaming with the deities of the Absolute Good faction constantly sending messages to explain the divine being seated before him.According to them, Room was a master of deception, only defeated by Loki, the God of Trickery in that regard.He was one of the few divine beings that would be regarded as a henchman, mostly because he hadn't managed to become a true god, instead languishing as a petty demigod.They didn't know who had contracted him, but it was easy to guess that the deities behind Rook were hostile towards Ethan, and, so, would wish for his downfall.Silence persisted as Ethan and Rook exchanged looks with the four representatives unable to move for some reason.Ethan glanced at them only to realize that they

    Ethan ignored Rook's taunting words as he inquired. “What game are we playing?”“Monopoly, my friend. But on a country-wide scale.” Rook remarked as a monopoly board appeared before them.“I don't understand.”“The game is simple. We play Monopoly, using real money, and Lumina Empire is our playground. The winner will be decided by who has more properties. Do you understand now or do I have to dumb it down further?”Ethan once again ignored the insult as he stared at the board.In truth, it was a reflection of the Lumina Empire, with the 36 states revealing the worth of each item displayed as well.But what caught Ethan's eye was the fact that instead of dollars which he was familiar with, the items were instead valued in coins.“I hope you didn't think that we'd make use of the human petty currency on a divine battlefield like this,” Rook remarked in a condescending tone.Ethan shook his head. “I didn't.”Rook snorted. “Now let's begin. But before that, I should let you know, there w

    Expecting to see Ethan despair, Rook pulled out a golden ticket with two hundred thousand written on it, a mocking smile plastered on his lips.Ethan's expression remained unchanged, almost bored, even causing Rook to frown as he had expected Ethan to grow scared or, at least, frown.Why was he so calm?Unable to figure him out, Rook decided to play it off as the pathetic human trying and failing to bluff him.Did he think that he would fall for such a pathetic act?Only humans would fall for such things and he was a proud deity.Such things were mere child's play for him.“Your move,” Rook remarked, waiting for Ethan to admit defeat only to be shocked as Ethan pulled out another golden ticket, this time with two hundred and fifty thousand written on it.Rook's expression faltered but he was quick to regain himself.‘Is he planning on spending everything to protect this city?’ Rook couldn't help but wonder inwardly as he stared at the golden ticket.But then, thinking about it, it mad

    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.”
