"What?" Ethan turned his head in surprise after Hazel pulled away and nodded slowly. "Has it been confirmed that it's the car?""Yes, sir. I don't know what happened, but the location is far from the crowd. It's possible that people in the neighbourhood wouldn't even know that a car had sunk there," Hazel explained.Ethan's heart skipped a beat. He felt panicked but also unexpected. Everything had happened so quickly. It hadn't even been an hour since Mr Leif left after throwing a tantrum, but now... if the reporters found out about this, it would have a very bad impact on the company's image. Besides, how is Mr. Leif doing? Why would he be there?As a series of questions floated in Ethan's mind, Mr. Oscar, who realised that there was an important problem, said, "Mr. Ethan, if there is really something to be done, just go. After all, the survey is almost complete, I will discuss it with the contractor and then send it to Miss Hazel's email."Instantly, Ethan's reverie was broken. He l
In the office, Ethan was focused on the CCTV footage that he had previously asked Hazel to get. He repeated it several times just to see it more clearly.In the footage, Mr Leif's car was travelling at a moderate speed. After leaving the Aurora Housing Estate, the car joined the other vehicles, and nothing unusual was seen.However, when it reached the intersection, the car made a turn, and the road was the one leading to the river he had come from earlier.The more the car travelled, the more Ethan focused with a sharpened gaze.Not long after, the car stopped at the small road that led to the river."So he did come there," muttered Ethan, who unconsciously clenched his hands into fists, feeling nervous about what Mr. Leif would do next.However, until a few minutes later, there was no movement whatsoever. Not even Mr Leif was seen leaving his car.Ethan's brow began to crease faintly. Just as he was about to rewind the recording duration to get a better look, a black luxury car came
"What do you mean?" asked Great Mistress Celeste, annoyed by his arrival.But Great Master Celeste did not answer and instead walked over to Madame Bernita only to take over the iPad she was holding and fiddled with it for a while and placed it on the table.Great Mistress Celeste and Madame Bernita spontaneously moved their bodies forward to take a closer look. It turned out to be a live feed from Daran on one of the social media sites.Daran was showing a sad side and talking about his miserable life with his mother. Of course, by pulling Ethan's name and revealing his identity as his younger brother while protesting his indifference.The audience, which had only numbered hundreds, immediately jumped to hundreds of thousands. Many people flocked to see the live broadcast after some netizens shared screenshots with attention-grabbing titles.Ethan, who has been in the spotlight since the revelation of his identity as the CEO of Zenith Corp, is now being talked about even more. Pros a
"Sir, are you sure you want to stay here?" asked Hazel as they walked down the hallway of the luxury apartment.Since getting out of the car, she hadn't stopped to pay attention to her surroundings in case any reporters spotted them. She was even one step ahead of Ethan, anticipating that someone would suddenly attack.This vigilant attitude of hers made Ethan's mixed feelings improve. He was so amused that he couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. "Hazel, you're just a girl. What do you think you can do to protect a man like me?"Hazel instantly turned her head, looking at Ethan with an earnest look. "Sir, you must not underestimate me. Although I am a woman and look feminine, I have learned some martial arts moves. Especially during these few years, I have been working in public by myself.""I know. I shouldn't have underestimated you," Ethan said, looking at Hazel proudly. "Thank you for your hard work over the years. Now I'm the CEO here, and it's my responsibility to protect
A few hours passed, but Ethan was still waiting for news from Eamon's butler while enjoying a bottle of wine with a dazzling view of the city late at night through his apartment window.The man wearing only a bathrobe looked so calm, without any burden, as he sipped the red wine from his glass slowly.Just as he was about to pour more wine into his glass, the cell phone nearby lit up, revealing Eamon's name.He quickly picked it up to receive his call. "How is it?" he asked directly."Young Master, the Great Master allowed it but only two people. I have also made arrangements. What are your further orders?"Ethan smiled amusedly. The old man forced him to be tough but worried about him.The gangsters he had were the best. The people in it must be highly trained, let alone the hackers who worked behind the scenes. No one could beat them. But now the old man gave him two people. That was more than enough!"Please track the whereabouts of Mr. Leif and his wife. Last time, someone took aw
Ethan got out of the car and pulled on his jacket with a sharp gaze straight at the villa building in front of him. Then he shouted, "Split up and block all roads! Take out anyone who dares to resist!""Yes!" Dozens of bodyguards ran quickly to carry out their employer's orders.Two men already in front of the main door in unison forced it open wide.Ethan walked up the stairs and entered the villa, followed by five bodyguards, while on either side of the car were two more men guarding Hazel, who was inside."Search all the rooms; don't miss one!" he boomed.Suddenly, they immediately ran in different directions and checked each room carefully. The bathroom and even the cabinet and refrigerator were not spared from their search.Ethan looked at them and then slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor.At the top, there were many rooms facing the hallway on the right. But Ethan just glanced at it and turned to the left hallway, paying attention to his surroundings and continuing h
"Shit!" Ethan cursed lowly and chose to stare back at the man in his arms, increasing his strength until he staggered out of breath and pushed him roughly to the side.Coincidentally, there was a pile of discarded tables and chairs, and he hit his head hard. The man was instantly unconscious.Ethan just looked at him flatly, then turned to stare at the dozens of people in front of him while rolling up his shirt sleeves. "It turns out that your preparations were much more thorough than I expected. I feel honored.""Stop talking nonsense! You've entered the boss's villa without permission, and now you've even injured our two friends. You deserve to be in hell. Attack!"The biggest man with a beard on his face raised his hand holding a whip and shouted loudly.Ethan looked at him fiercely. But the five people on the man's right side were already running forward, about to attack him with their weapons. Suddenly, he dodged and kept dodging to the side."If you're a man, show some fight!" s
However, even though several seconds had passed, none of them were willing to answer. All of them were silent with fearful glances.Seeing that, Ethan smiled wryly. "They're your men, right? But why don't I see any cohesiveness in you guys?"The Leader growled angrily, but he could do nothing but obey since his safety was in the hands of that cruel man."If I tell them to leave, do you think they will really leave?" Ethan whispered while looking at the Leader with his mocking smile."Do you think they're like your subordinates who never come to rescue you?" Although with difficulty, the Leader still replied to Ethan's words sarcastically. "They are like that because you made threats using me. They care too much and don't want me to get hurt at the hands of a crazy loser like you.""Oh yeah?" Ethan chuckled softly and turned his gaze to the few men who were still standing there motionless. "Well then, how about we prove it? You wouldn't mind, right?""Don't expect you to touch them, da
