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

    “You…”“Talk out of turn and I will end your existence,” Ethan warned coldly, shutting Lucas up.Gulping nervously, Lucas took a moment to assess the situation before inquiring in a calmer tone. “Who are you?”“Ghost.” Ethan calmly replied. “Ghost?... The new owner of Savour and SteelHorse?”Ethan didn't respond but the silence was enough of an answer.“How do you know him?”“None of your concern,” Ethan remarked as he finally glanced at Lucas. “I could kill you now.”Lucas's heart tightened. “But I won't. Only because the law is a better way to deal with tyrants like you.”“What?”“This man will be suing your company for damages. I hope you have enough to pay for what you've done.”Lucas gritted his teeth. “I can't accept that.”“Would you rather I kill you?” Ethan inquired.Lucas grunted but did not attempt to say anything else as he stared at Ethan.“Look forward to seeing you in court.” With that, Ethan helped Jacob to his feet and exited the meeting room, leaving Lucas to seet

    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

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?...

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.”
