Ash chuckled. “Well, well, if it isn't the dwarven king. How are you, my friend?” “Doing very well, haha.” the king remarked, restraining himself from saying anything that would annoy Ash.“That's good. You see, I'm here again with my woman. Isn't she beautiful?” As Ash spoke, Nya flipped her hair back, almost like she was waiting for Edomalis's compliment.“Haha, of course. Very beautiful. I don't believe I've seen someone as beautiful as her in my life.”"Aww, don't say that,” Nya said, trying to act embarrassed though everyone could see she was enjoying the praise.Such a vain woman!Ash grinned as he patted Edomalis's head like a child. “Good, good. Now tell me, do you have something in this store that is befitting of my woman's beauty?”“Of course, of course. Uhmm, please give me a moment so I can call the dwarf in charge of the records.” Edomalis immediately turned to one of his dwarfs.“Where's Lyra?... Why isn't she out here yet?”The dwarf hesitated to respond but as the dw
“Look, I don't want any trouble. You can leave now and no one has to get hurt. Continue with this and I can't promise what will happen.” Ethan calmly said.Usually, he would have egged Ash on just so he could have the pleasure of putting the fool in his place, but he didn't think it was worth it.There was no reason to waste time on such fools when there were important things to be done.Unfortunately, Ash wasn't one to pick up on hints as he activated his unique skill, conjuring several fireballs targeting Ethan, scaring the hell out of everyone present.“Do you think I'm playing, huh?... Do you think you are in your father's house?... This is not some game and if you don't conform, I'll be more than happy to incinerate you. Now, give me the shard you hold, or else, don't blame me for what happens next.” Ash remarked as he cracked his neck, poised to attack.As a demigod, he was able to tell that Ethan was in possession of a divine shard which was not something a nobody should have.
Just then, Lyra found her voice. “Sir, you have to be careful. What happened here today is a stain on the Flaming Hearts clan's honor. There's no way they would let it go so easily. They would surely come looking for revenge.”“That's no problem. They can come if they wish to; it's not assured, however, that they would return.”His words could be considered as mixed with arrogance and unrestrained hubris but for some reason, no one dared to call him out for it because the weird thought that he might be speaking facts continued to emerge in their heads.***Ash fled like a fool, only stopping after he'd returned to the Land of Fire in Heaven ruled by the God of Fire. He was just coming out of the car when a red-haired woman walked up to him, accompanied by several armed knights.Ash and his men, on seeing the man, quickly went on their knees and greeted him. “We pay homage to young Mistress Furiousa.”If Ash was a member of the branch family, then Furiosa was a member of the main fami
Ethan got home expecting to meet the girls only to find out that they had already left on vacation to Sunny Island, which was the number one getaway spot in the world, bringing in a whopping ten million tourists every year.It was a place where the richest folks gathered, ensuring that they enjoyed the best that life had to offer. Unfortunately, though he was slightly relieved not to be meeting them yet, Ethan got even more tense as he received confirmation that not just Louisa but Anna and Aquila were waiting to meet him on the island.“You look nervous.” Rani pointed out in faint amusement as she watched him prepare. “Even when facing off against the most powerful person on the planet, you weren't so worried. What's wrong?”“This and that are two different matters entirely. You won't understand.”“Actually I do. So instead of bitching, how about you just do it and think of the consequences later.” A tired sigh escaped Ethan's lips as he remarked. “You're right. I'll need to deal w
The cars slowly drove in after the gate was opened only for one to pause.Before they could figure out what was going on, the doors of one of the biggest cars opened, revealing two muscular men in black suits.“Hello miss.” The men greeted, completely ignoring Ethan's existence.Having an inkling of what was happening, Ethan let out an exasperated sigh.And here he thought he wouldn't have to experience it any longer.It almost felt like it was customary for every new city he entered.Amused by his reaction, Rani remarked. “How may I help you?”“Our young master wishes to speak with you. Would you be willing to join him in the car?”Rani raised a brow. “Is he crippled?”Exchanging looks with one another at the strange question, they turned to her and replied. “No.”“Is he blind?”“No.”“Does he have a terrifying flesh-eating infection?”“No.”“Then he should get down from that car himself. I'm not some call girl to be ordered around.” Realizing that she was offended, the men sneered
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.”
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. My date for the night, unfortunately, en
The news of Ethan's marriage to not just Anna but Louisa and Aquila as well was enough to send the world into an uproar, as it was an event that was destined to shake the dynamics of the world.Before now, most people considered Ethan to be a major player on the world stage.They didn't think he'd be able to conquer all three women and most even felt that it was likely that he would stay with Louisa but then it turned out that he had gotten together with not just the head of the Goldberg family, he had also gotten in with the First Princess and the general manager of the biggest company in the world.It was safe to say that Ethan was currently now the most powerful man in the world and his children would be leaders in their own right.Such a terrifying family was enough to make anyone shake in their boots.However, with the announcement of the ceremony to be held soon to celebrate Ethan's marriage, many of those who doubted his capabilities had no choice but to accept that they were w
