The System of Power is Money Chapter 167
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

Ethan opened his eyes when a loud banging was heard from behind his bedroom door.He then walked groggily towards his door and turned the key."Hm? What's up? Why are you waking me up so early, Amel?"Without needing to ask or guess who was behind the door knocking, Ethan already knew it was Amel because she was the only woman living with him."Where's Citra? Isn't she staying over?" asked Amel with a disappointed look.Ethan, still half-conscious, nodded in response to his sister's question.A small sigh of disappointment escaped her lips; she had been hoping to meet Citra again like before."She had to go, Amel. Nike was looking for her. Citra said that someday, she'll definitely keep her promise to sleep over with you," Ethan replied, trying to comfort the girl.She then nodded, having no other choice."Alright. In that case, I'll be going now, Ethan. I need to arrive at campus at least 15 minutes before my class schedule starts," Amel replied, trying to keep smiling.The girl also

Ethan has now returned to his office, sitting right in the big chair that belongs to him.A long sigh escapes his mouth, as it is really bothering his thoughts.The strange voices, precisely from the statements that he had just heard, seem to come back to haunt him, enveloping the silent atmosphere he is currently facing."Argh! That voice is really bothering me! Do I have to follow that woman's crazy request? I don't even have any business with her!"Ethan brushes his hair roughly, unable to understand why all of this can affect his mind at the moment.A little while ago..."You?" Ethan echoed when he found a familiar face in his sight. His memory is still quite strong, remembering that the woman in front of him is the same woman he had previously mistaken for someone else."Fortunately! You still have a good memory. If not... I won't hesitate to give you a lesson until you can remember our meeting," Mahira said to him with a vengeful gaze.Ethan took a deep breath, unable to underst

Ethan returned to his apartment, where he was greeted by Amel's presence.The woman appeared to welcome him with great happiness."Ethan! Ethan, you're home?" Amel asked the man.Ethan, who seemed helpless, simply nodded his head, causing a big question mark to appear on the woman's forehead.She felt ambiguous about Ethan's response, which was quite unlike him."Ethan, is everything okay? I seem to sense a troubled aura on your face," Amel said with squinting eyes.Ethan then turned to look intently at the woman, placing his work bag on the sofa and then sitting down next to it."Don't you want to tell me anything?" asked Amel, looking closely at the man.It was visible how Ethan took a deep breath, flashing a smile at the corner of his mouth towards Amel."No, Amel. There's nothing for you to worry about right now. Everything is fine and under control. You don't need to think about anything. Everything is good. I just feel tired today."Amel then nodded, not wanting to add to the ma

"Huh? Sis Citra? What are you doing here? Didn't you have plans to meet up with Ethan?"Amel blurted out this question as she handed Citra a glass of water.Just moments before, when Citra arrived and asked about Ethan, Amel had invited her inside without further explanation."Meet up? With Ethan?" Citra asked, furrowing her brow as she looked at the woman.She shook her head, indicating that she had no such plans with the man Amel mentioned."What? Then who was Ethan going to meet? He just left. I told him I thought he was meeting you, and he didn't protest at all. But I guess he's not actually meeting you," Amel replied, causing Citra to purse her lips tightly.Her brow furrowed, showing her confusion about where Ethan had gone."Hold on, let me call Ethan," Amel said to the woman. "Have a drink first, Citra."Citra, who had been lost in thought, snapped back to reality. She smiled slightly and nodded in response to the woman."Where could Ethan be? I could've sworn he said he was g

Soon after, one of the three women approached the man, draping her arm around his."Darling? Who is this woman? How dare she call herself your lover?"Mahira's eyes widened upon hearing this revelation. "No, Darling. Please, don't misunderstand. She's just a shameless stranger. She's just a cheap woman who betrayed and cheated on me right in front of my eyes," the man replied, looking down on Mahira.With the strength she had, Mahira tried to stand up and return the man's gaze. She shifted her gaze to the woman who was now so intimate with her boyfriend."What are you talking about, Lucas? Why are you calling her Darling? I'm your girlfriend! Not her!" Mahira asserted, causing the man to smirk at the corner of his mouth.He seemed to treat the words coming out of Mahira's mouth like trash."Girlfriend? Since when have we still been in a relationship, huh?! You're the one who betrayed me, and now you're accusing me of cheating behind your back?"The man, whose name was apparently Lucas

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.
