The System of Power is Money Chapter 17
A wry smile appeared on the faces of the thugs. They seemed to be looking at and deeply observing Ethan's body, clearly not convinced that he could fulfill what he had said."Are you kidding? I could report you. Better yet, just leave now or you'll get another beating from me," said the leader of the thugs, intending to just let Ethan go.Ethan shook his head."Give me your account number and tell me how much I need to pay you," Ethan said with full confidence.The leader of the thugs seemed to pause for a moment, with his two underlings whispering as if discussing something. After that, the thug leader nodded his head, as if giving Ethan a chance."Alright. But don't play games with me. I won't hesitate to kill you," the thug leader threatened Ethan.Ethan nodded his head.The thugs then discussed among themselves, and a slip of paper was placed in front of Ethan."500 million. Transfer it quickly to this account number, or if I find out you're just lying, you're done tonight," the t

"Well then, I'll take my leave, Sir. It's late, I'll head home," Ethan said, excusing himself from the man. They had just discussed the various possibilities of what had happened. Moreover, Ethan also had experience in handling business operations, making it unsurprising that he could easily blend into the discussion Leo had mentioned.Before Ethan really left, the man stopped his movement. "It's hard to find a taxi this late at night. Wouldn't it be better if you just stayed at my house? There are so many vacant rooms in this house. I would be happy if you stayed tonight so I'm not alone," Leo said.He seemed pleased with Ethan's presence, who happened to have a very good personality.Ethan stood still, truthfully he was thinking about the same thing. It would surely be very difficult to find an online taxi this late at night. "How about it? Will you stay at my house? You can leave tomorrow morning," Leo said to the man.Having no other choice, Ethan then nodded his head."Alrigh

Ethan blinked his eyes as the sunlight clearly hit his face."You're awake, Ethan?"Ethan then turned toward the source of the voice, it turned out Leo had been waiting for him since earlier.With a slight lingering headache, Ethan tried to get up from his lying position."Just rest. I'll bring you breakfast," Leo said when he saw Ethan trying to get up.Ethan then shook his head, indicating that he had had enough sleep. "How did I end up at your house, Sir?" Ethan asked, looking at the man.Leo, who was about to head to the kitchen, immediately stopped in his tracks."I saw you in that park. Around here, it's rife with men preying on young, beautiful women exercising in the morning. Because I knew you were a kind-hearted man and I had a hunch something might happen, I just followed you," Leo explained.Ethan was then seen looking around, trying to find someone there but to no avail.Fortunately, Leo came quickly. Perhaps because Ethan's focus was not on the people around him, as the

"Thank you."Ethan closed the door to his hotel room, while taking the food he would serve right in front of Citra."Please. It wouldn't be quick enough if I ordered food from outside or bought it out there. So I asked for food from the hotel instead. Is that okay?" Ethan asked, looking at the woman.Still in the same position, only her eyes moving to watch Ethan's movements, Citra seemed indifferent, just nodding casually."I'll take that as a sign that you accept this food from me," Ethan said then.He then excused himself from Citra, he would go shower to freshen up.Citra, just remembering the paper bag in her hand, immediately set it on the coffee table.Her eyes seemed to glance around, observing every corner of the room."Where does all his money come from? Wasn't he just fired? But how can he have already booked a hotel room that's above an unemployed person's means like him?" Citra muttered suspiciously.Citra then shook her head. Why should she care about that? Currently, sh

As they went around the mall, Ethan continued to be amazed. This was the first time he had seen a room that was usually used for vendor booths or performances become completely empty, all at Citra's request.Without needing to question it, everyone could probably already guess just how powerful that woman was."Just leave me alone. You can wait outside or go wherever. If I'm done, I'll contact you," Citra ordered.She didn't want to be disturbed because everything she did with Ethan was private.Even if it was one of Citra's trusted people, she still couldn't trust them with this.Everyone in the room, who had prepared whatever Citra asked for, left the big building one by one.Ethan watched them all, there were so many outfits, tables and chairs arranged like the round tables typical of wealthy people who often gathered, and many other things there.After making sure everyone was gone, Citra then acted normal again. She turned around, looking at Ethan with her arms no longer folded a

"Ethan!"Ethan, who was just about to sip his drink that he had ordered at a simple food stall, turned his gaze away.A man in a neat suit was seen approaching Ethan with a big smile."Sorry. I'm late, right? The road here was a bit jammed. I didn't know it would be difficult for four-wheeled vehicles to get through these streets," said the man, who was none other than Leo. This was the first time in Leo's life that he had set foot in an ordinary and simple food stall like this. He would always make appointments to meet at a big and fancy restaurant."No problem. I also just got here, Sir. Sorry, I forgot to tell you that. Indeed, it takes longer for cars to get through these streets," Ethan replied, gesturing for the man to sit across from him.Leo then pulled out his chair, sitting down while looking at the menu Ethan handed him."Though the place is very simple, I can assure you it's kept clean. The food available here is just as delicious as food at restaurants."Leo seemed hesit

"Shit! Now what do I do? He still hasn't woken up since earlier. We don't have time to practice that again. There are only a few hours left."Citra muttered softly, looking anxious. She glanced back at Ethan, the man still had his eyes closed.One thing Citra was grateful for was that there were no visible bruises on Ethan's face, luckily the thugs had only focused on beating his stomach and back.But, still. Even though the man's face was unharmed, his body clearly wasn't. It seemed Citra didn't have another chance, maybe she really did have to bear the shame and go to the event alone."Wake up! You made a promise to me. Is this how you keep your promise? Wake up! Hey!"Citra tried to wake the man up. She had brought Ethan to her apartment, and she had also brought all of Ethan's belongings.Now all that was left was for the man to wake up, then they could practice a bit before finally getting ready.Tring! A notification sound indicated a message had come through to Citra's phone, c

Everyone seemed surprised. So were Citra's parents, who immediately widened their eyes, staring towards their daughter who seemed to be humiliating herself."Citra! What are you doing?! Have you lost all your sanity?!" Citra's mother scolded her daughter.She unhesitatingly pulled her daughter's hand, moving her away from Ethan, who at that time didn't understand why that woman was pulling Citra away.After looking at her face, Ethan finally understood why the woman pulled Citra's hand.Indeed. Her face, not much different from Citra's, her features mostly passed down to Citra, made Ethan immediately realize that she was Citra's mother.Meanwhile, Martin's parents, seeing their son being toyed with and humiliated in public, immediately approached him."What is the meaning of all this, Martin? Who is that man? How could he come here? Isn't this a private event? Did he also receive an invitation?" Martin's mother asked, representing his father.Martin remained silent, his emotions still
