Taking a deep breath, Jacob replied. “I'm here to carry out a business deal.”“Huh?” Sandy raised a brow in disbelief. “With what money exactly?... A pauper like you wouldn't even be able to afford meals if the State didn't have rules tending to people like you.”“You don't know anything about me, Sandy.” Sandy snorted. “Of course, I know. At least, I know your bank accounts are still frozen and your assets are still impounded. One of the perks of being part of management.”She wasn't hesitating to rub her good fortune in his face but Jacob managed to remain calm, his gaze impassive as he stared at her. “What?... Shocked to hear that I'm part of management?... Oh yeah, that should have been you, right?... Unfortunately, you couldn't keep your hands to yourself.”Jacob trembled but still managed to keep his cool as he intoned. “You and I both know the truth about what happened that night.”“The night you attacked and molested me?... Oh, yes, I am well aware.” Jacob gritted his teeth

Jacob was so excited about the unexpected turn of events that he didn't even wait for Ethan to park the car properly before stepping out of the car and rushing into his house to share the good news with Lisa.It had been several months of shame and disgrace for no reason.Now that he had been vindicated, why wouldn't he be happy?Ethan chuckled as he watched the family man behave like a child who had just been given a pack of candy.He got down from the car with Louisa following close behind though he did not attempt to head inside.With a knowing smile, he waited for Jacob to come back outside.Meanwhile, Louisa grappled with questions and soon enough, found herself asking one. “Why did you do that?”“Do what?”“Help Jacob.” “Shouldn't I have done so?” Ethan inquired as he turned to face her, unsure of what to make of her strange question.Louisa hesitated but then she explained. “It's not like that. It's just, you could have done nothing and no one would judge you. So why would you

The man who spoke was one of those eating at the restaurant, his demeanor the epitome of arrogance and selfishness.The manager, unsure of what to make of his comment, inquired. “Is there a problem sir?”“Is there a problem?” The man stared back almost like the manager had asked a stupid question. “Do you want to tell me that you don't see anything wrong with what's happening right now?”“I'm sorry sir, but I don't understand.” The manager looked incredibly flustered as though he were the Manager of this branch of Panda Gate, he was aware that most people that came to eat in here were people that he absolutely couldn't offend.The arrogant man remarked. “I came in here with my woman for a peaceful night and good food. Now you have to ruin it by pulling a stupid stunt like this?... Why the hell did you let that idiot over there into this establishment to ruin the ambiance?”The manager was taken aback as he didn't know how to respond.Ethan was the one that helped him even as he kept h

Ethan had always known that the world was an unforgiving place for those who couldn't protect themselves.But learning about Mira and her unfortunate circumstances was enough to remind me just how unforgiving the world was.“She hasn't slept in days.” Henry intoned. “Whenever she does, she ends up waking up due to having nightmares. Whatever beating Lucius handed to her, it was enough to leave her scarred mentally.”Even now, Mira trembled as she lay on the couch.Perhaps the only reason she was able to remain asleep was because her body was too exhausted to care about the terrifying dream she was having. Unfortunately, Ethan had no skills that could help alleviate her situation, so he could only watch with an impassive look on his face.Most might think that he was apathetic to Mira's plight but that was hardly the case.Only when Ethan was truly angry would he be so impassive.Louisa was also upset as well though it was more sadness than anger as she moved to crouch before where Mi

Unwilling to put the boy under duress due to how he looked, Ethan decided not to press him and instead intended. “I know where Mira is.”The boy's eyes lit up once he heard the name as he looked at Ethan. “You know where big sister is?”Ethan nodded his head. “I do.”“Is she alright?”“In a way.”“That's good.” The boy remarked, letting out a sigh of relief.“Do you want to see her?”The boy paused, hesitant to respond before ultimately doing so. “No.”“Why?... Are you angry that she ran away?”“No, I'm glad she's okay. I was worried she wouldn't be able to survive after what stepdad did to her. As long as she's away, everything is alright.”“Then why don't you want to see her?”“Because stepdad might follow after us and discover where she stays. I don't want to put her into any trouble.”“You seem to be in a lot of trouble yourself.” Ethan intoned calmly.The boy replied. “As long as big sister and little sister are fine, I can endure anything. That's what boys do right?... They prot

Ethan drove Rodney, Lulu, and Lucius back to Panda Gate, only arriving after closing hours.Thankfully, Henry had decided to stay with Louisa and Mira.He felt guilty about not being able to do anything to help out.Ethan got out of the car and helped Rodney and Lulu down as well before asking them to head into the restaurant while he dealt with Lucius.Rodney was skeptical at first but after Ethan assured him that everything would be fine, he decided to do as instructed, making his way into the restaurant with Lulu.Meanwhile, Ethan moved to the trunk of the car and pulled it open, revealing an unconscious Lucius.Forming a fist, he punched the psychopath into waking up, leaving him disoriented and hurt.“What the… where the hell am I?”“Panda Gate.” Ethan intoned with a smile though it was anything but.Lucius trembled as he saw him, instinctively backing away though there was nowhere to run to. “What?... Scared of me?... You should be, at least now you know how it feels to be trea

“She fell asleep not too long after you left. I guess seeing her oppressor finally dealt with allowed her to gain some semblance of peace.” Henry intoned calmly as he draped the trio of siblings with a blanket.“Thank you.” He said as he turned to face Ethan.“Don't sweat it,” Ethan remarked calmly. “I only did what I had to do.”“Regardless, you took on a big risk. I told you, didn't I?... Lucius is just one man. There are those backing him.” Henry pointed out.Ethan went silent as he pondered the implications.He couldn't be sure that those backing Lucius were aware of his identity as an Apostle, but what if they were?That meant they actively supported a crazy bastard as he went about torturing his stepchildren out of a twisted sense of humor.Ethan knew he wasn't strong enough, at least, not strong enough to take on numerous enemies at once.But even if they ended up coming, he swore to fight till his last breath.No matter what, he would never bend the knee to those in the wrong,

The drive to the Goldberg Manor was a silent affair with neither Louisa nor Ethan bothering to communicate as one looked out the window while the other focused on driving.Soon, they came close to the manor again which point Louisa asked him to drop her off.Ethan frowned. “Are you sure?... There's still some way before your mansion.”“I know, but I can't risk you coming home with me. It could cause problems for both of us.” Louisa admitted honestly, earning a glance from Ethan.“Are you sure it's not just going to cause problems for you?” Ethan inquired with a raised brow.Louisa shook her head. “No and I know it sounds like that but it's truly not.” Letting out a sigh, Ethan shrugged. “Alright then. You can go on, I'll keep watch from a distance.”“Thank you.” Louisa intoned as she got out of the car before making her way toward the manor.Ethan couldn't see the full layout of the towering edifice due to the high fences but what he saw stood out as intricately designed.Once Louisa
