The System of Power is Money Chapter 36
Richard gave a wry smile, even though he didn't get the position he wanted, at least 1 billion dollars wasn't a small amount of money that could be trivialized by him.If so, no matter how, Richard would do whatever it took to get that large sum of money."Just watch! I'll definitely get what I've been working towards so far," Richard mumbled, clenching his fist.Not long after that, he exited, staring sharply at the bodyguard who had insulted him before, walking towards the car that had originally brought him."Please, sir," the driver said politely. He then opened the rear door of the car for Richard.Richard was pleased that he was currently like a boss.As the car was about to move, an incoming call on the man's phone made him immediately look at it with a furrowed brow."Wait a moment, sir," Richard replied, not wanting them to leave first.After ensuring the driver had followed his words, Richard then focused on his phone."Hello, Darling? What's up?" Richard asked the person on

"Where else do you want to go?" Ethan asked, glancing towards the woman beside him. Since earlier, Ethan hadn't heard a word from the woman, she was silent as if out of words.Ethan then glanced briefly at Citra, the woman seemed to be staring out the window that he had intentionally opened."Citra? Hey? Want to stop somewhere else?" Ethan asked, making the woman shake her head."Let's just go home."Ethan furrowed his brow, he felt that previously nothing had happened between him and Citra.However, a second later Ethan was reminded of the reality of the woman who often became curt.He was also only a partner and helping the woman, in reality Citra was still her usual self, always indifferent and oblivious to her surroundings.Ethan drove the car again, heading to the hotel where they were staying.***Throughout the journey until now they were in the room, Citra completely ignored Ethan. She didn't even say anything since earlier, she went to take a shower and then prepared to go to

Ethan then got out of the car along with Citra, who also got out just to see him off."Thank you for going through the trouble of dropping me off like this. You shouldn't have been this late on your first day of work," Ethan said, looking at the woman with a guilty feeling in his heart.Citra, upon hearing Ethan's words, shook her head, disagreeing with the statement that had just come out of his mouth."Don't say things like that. I also asked for permission from Mr. Leo. So, don't worry," Citra replied with a small smile.After that, Ethan then bid farewell to the woman because the bus he was going to take was about to depart."In that case, I'm off. Take care of your health. I'll be back as soon as possible," Ethan said, returning the woman's smile with an even broader one.He then raised his hand, waving as if signaling a parting to the woman.Ethan felt more at ease; he didn't expect his relationship with the woman who was known for being cold and even untouchable to gradually im

According to his mission, Richard only needed to find out where Ethan's residence was in the village.It's no wonder he hurried to return to his car; he would go back to the city tonight. Richard would not stay in this village; he would go home immediately. He needed Milena; he had to meet that woman soon. Only when he was with that woman and had relations with her did Richard's mind become calm, and all his burdens were released at that moment.As Richard was about to leave, he remembered the stall that Ethan had visited earlier. Maybe he would buy some snacks there since it was starting to get dark, and Richard recalled that his journey had few residential areas for a while.So, rather than going hungry on the road, it was better for Richard to bring some food."2 Burger Kings. Please have them wrapped to go," Richard said, intending to leave and wait in the seating area provided there.However, before Richard could take a step, a voice stopped him in his tracks."Excuse me, sir.

Early in the morning, Ethan and Amel went to visit their parents' graves. Ethan had prepared to pay respects at his mother's grave and had prepared everything, including the flowers that would be scattered on his mother's grave."Good morning, Mother! Hmm...no, I misspoke. I will correct myself right away, Mother, please don't scold me, I won't make that mistake again. So...good very early morning, Mother!"Amel spoke with a sorrowful chuckle. Her memory brought Amel back to the time when, if it was early morning, she would usually joke with her mother.She wouldn't say "morning" to her mother, but rather the opposite. "Very early morning" were the two words she would say."Mother...Mother, do you know? I feel lonely because I don't have anyone to talk to anymore. You said you would get better and we would play together again. You also said you would wait for Brother Ethan to come home. Now look at him, Mother. Your Ethan has returned, he came here to meet you. But it turns out you ch

Amel, who had just returned from the market after buying some vegetables to cook, hurried into her house.She seemed to walk back and forth, checking every corner of her house, as if looking for something."What are you doing, Amel?"For a moment, Amel was startled, repeatedly clutching her chest to calm herself down."Brother! You almost gave me a heart attack," Amel protested, her face pouting in annoyance.Ethan then seemed indifferent to his sister's response. He was about to leave his sister's presence, planning to get some fresh air while reminiscing about his birthplace again.However, before Ethan could take a step to leave, Amel hurriedly grabbed her brother's arm, stopping his movement.Of course, this successfully raised a big question in Ethan's mind. He didn't understand the woman's intention.His furrowed brows and sharp gaze fixed on Amel, clearly indicating that he was asking for an explanation from her.Amel then cleared her throat. "Wait! Don't leave yet, Brother. Th

"Brother! Brother!"Slowly, Ethan's closed eyes began to open, finding the face of his sister, who was now the only family he had left.The face that clearly showed concern for him managed to make Ethan smile at the corner of his mouth."Don't worry, I'm fine," Ethan said to his sister.Amel nodded, even though it was clear that she had just stopped crying. She then helped her brother get up from his sleep."Wait a moment. Let me get a basin of water to compress your wounds, Brother," Amel said and then left.After the woman's departure, someone approached Ethan, making the man lift his face to see who was coming towards him."I'm Melati. Thank you for the help you gave. I'm very grateful and indebted to you," said the woman, whose name turned out to be Melati. She was the woman Ethan had saved."Ethan. Just call me Ethan," Ethan replied, seeming to respond as a mere sign of respect."I promise I'll pay back the money you lent. I'll pay it all back in installments," Melati replied to

Ethan took a long breath. His face looked creased, once again he had lost control when he found his sister touching his phone."I have to apologize to her," Ethan thought to himself.His body, which had started to recover and get better, immediately stepped outside, though still limping.He then found his sister curled up on the porch chair."Amel," Ethan called, touching his sister's shoulder. "I'm sorry. Again, I got angry with you," he continued, feeling guilty.Ethan understood if his sister would be upset with him. But what else could he do? There were too many secrets he had to keep to himself.He had no other way."Is that phone more important than me, Brother? Am I not more valuable than that phone?" Amel asked in a trembling voice. Her tears were still streaming.Ethan closed his eyes, feeling uncomfortable having to see Amel crying, especially because of his own actions."It's not like that, Amel. You're precious, more than anything. Forgive me, okay? I was wrong," Ethan sai

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,

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.
