“You know even if we buy back these assets, those in charge of the auction would still end up gaining from it.” Ethan calmly remarked as he took a seat with Trina and Trina doing the same.Trina sighed. “I know, but I can't just let them go, so even if it gives them what they want, I'd happily do so.”“As you wish.” Ethan calmly remarked as he settled into his chair.Ethan found a seat for himself and Trina only to discover that the method in which the government had chosen to carry out the auction was rather unique.It involved using a black card and swiping it across a card reader placed at the side of the chair one was seated on.That way, there would be no such thing as a bidder trying to hike the price of an item unnecessarily without having the money to back it up.Just as they completed their conversation, the auctioneer arrived with the hall lights dimming."Ladies and gentlemen, I'm pleased to see you all are here. Everyone has been given a fair chance to become owners of ama

During the time that the auction was happening, in the same building but in the top floor penthouse, the head of the Dumont family and highest shareholder in Dumont Inc., Antoine Dumont, was standing at the balcony, which afforded him a nice view of the lake next to the building.He had a wine glass in his hand and a satisfied smile on his lips and why wouldn't he be satisfied considering what was currently happening?Behind, a young man in a grey suit was standing while holding a notepad.The young man was named Gabriel and was also Antoine Dumont's third son.It was a tradition in the Dumont family to start from the most basic positions within their conglomerate and work their way up the ladder. This was meant to teach them discipline and a good business sense.Taking a sip from his glass, Antoine turned to address Gabriel while taking his seat.Crossing his legs, he regarded the young man before inquiring. "Is the auction over?""Yes, sir," Gabriel replied professionally."That's

Ethan didn't immediately reply as he scrutinized the man while Trina couldn't help but react as she glared at Antoine from underneath the veil she was wearing.To think that she was this close to the reason her grandfather had given up and her family was close to poverty.If she could, she would have already torn Antoine to shreds for his underhanded schemes.But she trusted Ethan to handle things, and so she calmed herself, quickly averting her eyes as she noticed Gabriel staring at her with a thoughtful look on his face.Meanwhile, Antoine stepped forward with a warm smile, and from his actions, He was very interested in Ethan. From his perspective, it wasn't bad to get new friends especially ones with deep pockets.After all, it was common sense that the larger the network, the more business one would have! As a businessman, Antoine was always looking to expand his circle of friends."Hello, Mr. Dumont, nice to meet you. The service I've received so far is to my satisfaction, tha

"You have a point. Alright, you can leave, I'll call after I've made a quick phone call." Antoine intoned with Gabriel replying."Yes, father."Once Gabriel left, Antoine picked up his mobile phone and began to make a few calls to some of the shareholders he was close to.Having reached a consensus with the others, Antoine dropped his mobile phone and prepared to head back to meet Ethan.***In the VIP room.After Antoine had left, Ethan had considered the possibility of an inflation on the price just to scare him away from buying it.This was something that would happen, and so, he had to make sure to convince Antoine to sell to him, or else he'd have to consider other ways to teach the Dumonts a lesson.Taking a deep breath, Ethan took out his phone and began to use it.Noticing this, Trina worriedly asked. "Are you okay?""Yeah, I'm fine," Ethan replied.Trina, however, still seemed worried as she watched him use his phone.She wondered if he had checked the current evaluation for

"Allow me to announce that Mr. Jones and I have agreed. I'll be transferring my shares in Dumont Inc. to Mr. Jones for a fee of 1 billion dollars. Mr. Luke, prepare to receive the deposit and draft an invoice. I would like the transaction to be completed right now if possible." Antoine calmly addressed Luke and Gabriel while Trina moved to sit beside Ethan.The expressions of the trio shifted at the news.Luke wasn't exactly bothered since as long as there was no reason to leave the company, and even if there was, he was a highly sought-after consultant who would be able to get into any company with his skills.Meanwhile, Trina seemed slightly excited as she understood that Ethan was successful in his plans.But then she wondered what he would do next.In any case, as long as Dumont Inc was taken out of the picture, that meant her Park Pharmaceuticals would hold a monopoly over the pharmaceutical industry in the Lumina Empire.Luke gave Ethan an account number, to which the latter qui

Antoine tried to get away but alas, his fate was already sealed the moment he fell headfirst into Ethan's trap.Before he could do so, the police arrived and within seconds, he was handcuffed and taken away with no chance of him escaping the charges.“You will pay for this, Ethan Jones!... You will pay for this!” Antoine cursed Ethan as the police drove away, leaving Ethan and Trina standing outside the auction building along with a terrified Gabriel and a worried Luke.[The Medicine god thanks you for dealing a heavy blow to the Dumont family for their crimes][You have been rewarded with his support when the time for your apotheosis arrives][You have been rewarded with Passive Skill, Personal recovery][The Divine Shard of Deception has recovered][You have gained the title, Divine Mortal][The Titans have set their sights on you]Ethan felt the cosmic gazes of those great beings which caused the Titan Heart in his inventory to react ever so slightly.His back was immediately drenc

Trina had always had several men who wished to take her hand in marriage, not because they loved her but because they were looking forward to claiming the inheritance she was sure to bring along.It wasn't news that Lincoln had named her his successor, instead of his sons, a decision which did not sit well with Trina's brothers.It was exactly for that reason that they had betrayed him, instead choosing to sell away their properties to the Dumont family.Naturally, after learning that the Park family was broke, no one bothered with Trina again.That was until yesterday when the news of Park Pharmaceuticals, along with Dumont Inc., being owned by the Park family, was spread by the news.This caused those who had forgotten about Trina to charge over like dogs in heat.Unfortunately for them, they realized too late that they had already been beaten, or at least that was how they felt seeing Ethan stand beside Trina.As far as they were concerned, Ethan was barking up the wrong tree.Wasn

“Thank you all for coming to honor my grandfather today, but I will make this very clear: no one, and I repeat, no on,e, should dare to try and make things difficult for me during this period. I may be in mourning but I am not weak. That is a warning.” Saying that, she left with Ethan following closely behind.No one dared to say anything as they watched her leave.***After the funeral, Trina thought that she would be able to get some time to herself, but that was her trying to deceive herself because, with her grandfather's deed, those who had kept silent for long now dared to speak up.“Billy, what are you doing here with the lawyer?” Trina asked as her elder brother walked in accompanied by the family lawyer. There had been several people within the Park family who had been furious when Lincoln had decided to crown Trina as the heiress, but perhaps the most furious of all was Billy, her eldest brother.He had always been a difficult fellow to handle, but she had loved him regard
