The System of Power is Money Chapter 162
Martin led Citra to a dark corner of the room, where two men were sitting around a table. They all stared at Martin and Citra with smiles on their faces, seemingly pleased with Martin's arrival with Citra by his side.Martin then stopped right in front of them and placed his hand on Citra's shoulder. A smile adorned his face."Friends, let me introduce you to Citra, my fiancée," Martin said proudly, glancing briefly at Citra before turning back to his three friends.Citra didn't respond; there was no expression on her face to indicate she was happy to be introduced as a fiancée. In fact, Citra felt disgusted hearing Martin introduce her as his fiancée. If not for the threat of Amel's video, Citra might have flatly refused to be engaged to Martin. From the beginning, she never had any hope of having a relationship with a bastard like Martin.Martin slightly tightened his grip on Citra's shoulder, signaling her to smile in front of his friends.Reluctantly, Citra tried to smile, playing

"It's been more than an hour since I've been unable to reach Citra. Where is she?"Ethan, holding his phone, frowned as several calls went unanswered. He sighed, feeling confused about why Citra wasn't picking up his calls."Did I make a mistake?" Ethan tried to recall their last interaction, and as far as he remembered, he hadn't done anything wrong, nor had she."Oh well, maybe Citra's just busy," Ethan sighed as he put his phone down on the bed.Just as Ethan was about to head to the bathroom, his phone suddenly rang. Thinking it might be Citra, Ethan quickly grabbed his phone with a smile and answered the call without checking the name on the screen."Hello, Citra, why haven't you been answering my calls? Are you busy?" Ethan immediately fired off several questions.However, it wasn't Citra's voice he heard, but another woman's, which made Ethan frown. He quickly pulled the phone away from his ear and looked at the name on the screen. He let out a sigh when he realized who was cal

Currently, Citra is in one of the rooms inside the bar. After being slapped by Martin, she was also dragged into an empty room with no one else there."Damn it! Open the door, Martin!"Citra repeatedly pounds on the door, hoping Martin will open it soon. However, even though Citra keeps hitting the door accompanied by curses, the door remains locked from the outside.It seems Martin is doing this because he wants to teach Citra a lesson."Open the door, you bastard!" Once again Citra tries to open the door and asks anyone outside to open it for her, but no one dares to open the door for her.Citra clenches her fists, furious at what Martin has done to her. "Damn! How can I get out of here?"Tired from shouting and trying to break down the door, Citra decides to walk over to the bed. She sits there while looking around the room.There's nothing in the room, just a door and a window on the right. Seeing the window, Citra decides to walk closer, hoping she can get out through it.When Ci

Outside the room, the loud noise became increasingly clear. Marco and the muscular man looked confused, seeing the atmosphere suddenly turn tense. One of the female servants came running, her face pale."Mr. Martin, there's a group of people outside, they're looking for someone!" the servant exclaimed in panic.Martin heard the report and immediately felt alert. "Who are they?" he asked in an annoyed and disbelieving tone. Tonight was supposed to be fun with Citra, but suddenly someone was trying to ruin it.The servant shook her head, not knowing for sure. "They didn't say who they were, but they're armed and look dangerous. I think they're not ordinary people."Martin quickly thought. He knew this situation could turn bad if not handled properly. "Gather everyone and make sure no one enters here without permission. I'll go meet them."Martin then walked out towards the main door of the bar, trying to check what had happened.In the corner of the room, Ethan was monitoring his men to

Citra's heart pounded rapidly as footsteps were heard approaching. She occasionally glanced at Ethan, who was now beside her. The man looked alert while waiting by the now-closed door."It seems that's Martin," Ethan said, continuing to stare at the door.Citra just nodded, confirming what Ethan had said. Her gaze returned to the door, waiting for someone to open it.Outside the door, Martin stopped his steps, turning to one of his subordinates walking behind him. "Have you dealt with the troublemakers?" he asked, looking angrily at his subordinate for giving access to the troublemakers to enter the bar.The man in the black suit nodded, "Yes, sir, but they all managed to escape."Ethan, who of course heard the conversation behind the door, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At least his men had gone, and no one was caught by Martin's men, and they all managed to cause a commotion to give him time to find Citra.Seeing Ethan breathe a sigh of relief, a smile immediately appeared o

Citra was startled when she heard the sound of gunshots, and her breathing quickened as she began running towards the bar's exit. But suddenly, everything changed. She felt her legs grow heavy, her vision became blurry, and in an instant, the world around her started spinning.When she opened her eyes again, she was still under the bed, with Ethan now waving his hand in front of her face. "Citra! Citra! Are you okay?" Ethan asked worriedly as he heard Citra call his name several times.Citra blinked a few times, trying to understand what had just happened to her. "Ethan... What happened? I saw us leaving this bar just now, but why are we still here?" Citra looked left and right, confusion truly accompanying her at this moment.Ethan furrowed his brow, until he finally realized that Citra must have just been hallucinating. "It seems you were just hallucinating, Citra. We're still under this bed. And Martin almost found us earlier, but he's gone now because of another problem outside,"

"Citra! Ethan! You're just getting back? Come in!"Amel welcomed the return of the two, inviting Ethan and Citra into the apartment room."How was it? You're both okay, right? No one's hurt?"Amel examined the condition of the two people very precious in her life. Citra responded to Amel's words with a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth."There's nothing for you to worry about, Amel. Ethan and I are fine."Amel sighed in relief, feeling happy to know that nothing bad had happened to Citra and Ethan.She hadn't been able to sleep because she was so worried about them both."We both managed to escape from Martin's men thanks to Citra, Amel. If it wasn't for her idea, one of us might have been caught by them," said Ethan as he got up from his seat.The man walked towards the kitchen to get drinks and some snacks for them to chat over.Honestly, Ethan was quite sure that in Citra's heart, the woman still hadn't fully found peace at this moment."Oh really? What did Citra do? I guessed

Martin decided to go to Citra's residence immediately. He would ensure that woman wouldn't tarnish his name in front of her parents.The man glanced at the watch on his wrist - exactly 11 PM. A long sigh escaped from his mouth.His steps were wide, matching his mind that kept thinking about how to phrase what he needed to say to Citra's parents.As if already familiar with Martin, the guards at the mansion immediately opened the door for him, inviting the man to enter.Martin's brow furrowed, noticing the empty house as if no commotion had occurred; the house seemed so quiet."Please wait a moment, sir. I'll call Madam Merry from her room," a servant in the house said to Martin before leaving.Martin wanted to ask the servant directly, but he refrained from doing so.With steps still vaguely looking at Martin, the woman he was looking for finally met him."Martin? Why are you here so late? Is everything alright? Citra? Where's Citra? Why didn't she return with you?" Mrs. Merry asked t

As promised to the woman, Ethan decided to go to Citra's house and talk to her parents.His hand, which was already holding several plastic bags filled with fruits, was immediately taken over by a household assistant when the man arrived at Citra's house. Citra, who was at the top of the stairs, immediately descended it, smiling when she saw that he was already at her house. This was something she had been waiting for, she was really happy that the person she loved would express his desire to marry her to her parents. "Your parents are there, right Citra?" Asked Etha after the two of them decided to sit on a fairly soft sofa in the living room.Citra wanted to answer, but suddenly from the other direction came the voice of Citra's father. "We're here, Ethan." Ethan turned his head towards our parents who were currently walking towards the two of them and decided to sit on the opposite sofa. Suddenly, the man's heart was unsafe in the presence of Citra's parents, as if he really fel

After their romantic dinner, Ethan drove slowly towards Citra's house. But before he actually left he turned to Amel who was still on the terrace of the restaurant. "Come on Amel, let's go home together," said Ethan who couldn't possibly leave his sister alone at the restaurant.Amel smiled, of course she couldn't possibly interfere with the two of them being together. She then shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Ethan, I'll go with lecturer Malik. In a few minutes he will come to pick me up."Hearing the words from Amel made Ethan nod his head, he then decided to get into Citra's car, considering that Citra brought a car and there was no way if he let her drive alone. He then got into the car after making sure Citra was in the car. He then began to drive the car through the crowded city. While driving, Ethan occasionally turned his head towards Citra, feeling happy that she had accepted his feelings. Even though he had felt that she would not accept his feelings, especially sin
Chapter 302
For a long time Ethan waited for Citra's arrival who had yet to show her nose. He really felt worried if she didn't come to see him in the end. Even though he had tried to give his best to her. If she didn't come, what about her? Will he continue to wait like this and not express his feelings? Of course that can't happen. He had to keep expressing his feelings to her and hope that she would come soon and accept his feelings.Amel, who had been beside the man all along, of course knew what the man was worried about. It had been more than 10 minutes since the woman he was waiting for had shown her nose, and he was also afraid that she wouldn't come in the end. But Amel thought that the woman would definitely come, considering that she seemed so worried about her brother's condition and always tried to get close to him. But why she hadn't shown up yet made her feel worried."Why hasn't Citra come yet?" Amel muttered to herself. Her gaze continued to settle on the door of the restaurant,
Chapter 301
Tonight as planned, Ethan and Amel went to a restaurant that the man had booked in advance. Of course, this is because he wants to express his feelings to someone so special. That someone, of course, was none other than Citra. Tonight, he was going to express those feelings to her. He had been harboring his feelings for a long time, and it was time for him to express them. He didn't want her to leave him and choose to be with another man who was more serious. He must choose to be serious before someone else is serious to that woman."How is it, Brother Ethan? Are you ready now?"Of course, Amel as the younger sister of the man agreed with her brother's idea. She certainly wanted to see her brother happy together with the woman he loved. Moreover, she was a good woman who never left her brother under any circumstances, and she liked her very much. Besides being kind, she was also beautiful and very smart. There were so many women who envied that woman, and so many men who wanted to mak

After a few days of hospitalization, Ethan decided to go home because he was now in a better condition than before. His gaze then turned towards a woman who was currently standing not far from him. The woman was none other than Citra who was staring at him while wearing a smile. Of course, Citra knew that this time they decided to go home because last night the man said he no longer felt at home in the hospital. Actually, Ethan still had to be treated in order to be really in good condition, but since he felt uncomfortable in the hospital, inevitably, Citra agreed to the man's request and chose to take care of him when at home. At least the man wouldn't feel bored if he was at home."We're going home now, right, Citra?"The man asked again because he was afraid that suddenly a doctor or nurse would try to get in the way. Ethan already felt tired and shouldn't be in a hospital like this which would only make him more tired. Actually, he wasn't doing anything and wasn't really doing muc

Leona left the hospital with blurred eyes. She really felt sad because she got a rejection from the man who was supposed to be hers. How could that man reject her, after so many men wanted to have her and wanted to make her their lover? But what about that man? Yes, not affected by him at all. He should have had the same feelings as other men when he was close to her. But, unfortunately, that man seemed to have no heart.Leona, who continued to walk and saw nothing, suddenly bumped into a man who was just about to enter the hospital. The man was quite surprised when someone suddenly bumped into him. Luckily, he immediately tried to catch Leona who was about to fall or else she would have fallen on the floor."I'm sorry that I didn't see," Leona said, feeling a little guilty for suddenly realizing that she was trying to make a man fall because of her negligence.Without caring about the man, Leona decided to quickly walk away. In fact, she did not heed the man's calls at all. Meanwhile
Chapter 298
"Ethan, I have something to say to you, Ethan."After a long period of silence where it was just the two of them, Leona felt that this was her chance to express her feelings for him. After all, how long was she going to keep her feelings bottled up? The man in front of her had to know that she actually had feelings and wanted to be in a relationship. Even though he knew that the man liked Citra, but still, he should at least let him know that he had more feelings for the man and hope that those feelings would be reciprocated by the man.Ethan frowned in confusion, looking suspiciously at the woman in front of him. What was the woman going to ask? That is, what did she want to say? There seemed to be something quite important that the woman wanted to say, but somehow she was not ready to listen to it. However, refusing to listen didn't seem like a good idea, so inevitably she chose to nod her head, letting the woman say everything she wanted to say, even though she didn't like what the

"How are you, Ethan? Are you okay?"Leona asked immediately when she was right inside the man's room. It appeared that the man was currently hospitalized, and he was on a bed with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened to him. Though it was clear that the man had been kidnapped by someone unknown to Leona. She didn't know who had tried to kidnap the man. It seemed like she would ask later after having a short conversation with the man.Ethan smiled as he nodded his head. He knew that Leona had also helped search for him by mobilizing several men, as well as Leo who did not remain silent when he was in danger. The two of them were really instrumental in finding him, making him feel happy to have people close to him who were so kind and willing to look for him when in danger."I'm fine, Leona. Thank you for worrying about me."Leona just nodded her head. The woman decided to put down the fruits she had bought at a shop on the side of the road. She placed it right on the table,

"Where am I?"Ethan's gaze turned right and left, trying to ascertain where he was. Last he remembered, he was in a stuffy warehouse where people were trying to torture him, let alone a fat man who was so creepy. But why was she in a place that was all white, as if it was a hospital? It was because she had come to the hospital before, and had even been a patient. But, how could he be in a hospital like this now? Shouldn't he still be in the warehouse?Those questions kept swirling in his brain until he finally caught the face of someone smiling at him. It was Citra, a woman who was always by his side when he was not well. She smiled as if she was happy to see him awake."Citra, how did I get here? Wasn't I in a warehouse before?" he asked, staring at the beautiful woman whose gaze was currently drawn to him.Citra gave him a smile. She then helped the man to sit up and rested his head right on the back of the bed. "It's a long story, Ethan. But everything is fine now. You're safe now.
