The System of Power is Money Chapter 42
"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

That tense night was truly felt, managing to make the hair on the backs of everyone's necks in the rice field stand up in horror.They all looked scared and sympathetic but didn't have the courage to defend him. They also didn't want to be affected by it all."Where are you going?!" Ethan asked, immediately holding back his sister's arm. At that moment, Amel was about to go forward to see closer. The thing was, the girl's body was small and short, so it's no wonder she couldn't see anything. Unlike Ethan, who clearly had a tall physique."Ish! It's okay, bro. I just want to see it closer. If I stay here, I won't be able to see anything," Amel replied, feeling annoyed.The crackling fire was the only sound Amel could hear, she could only stare at the billowing smoke starting to fly into the air."No. You can't go far from me. This is dangerous, I don't want to take any risks with you," Ethan insisted firmly.For some reason, he felt he just had to be possessive of that woman's safety

"Do you want a drink?"Ethan, who was trying to regain consciousness at that time, tried to get up from his sleep, then was helped by someone he initially thought was Amel."Thanks, Amel.""I'm Melati, Sir."Ethan frowned, looking towards the voice that had just stated her name.Ethan's gaze immediately widened, finding the person beside him was not Amel."Who are you?! Amel? My sister? Where is she? Where's Amel? Did that bastard take her? Amel! I have to go...""I'm here, bro! I'm okay," Amel said, just returning from the kitchen.Seeing his sister's face, Ethan's heart finally felt at ease. He was grateful his sister was fine."You're not hurt, are you? Are you injured anywhere? Did that person hurt you earlier? Show me where he hurt you," Ethan said, clearly very worried about his sister.Amel smiled, happy to hear the attention from her brother."No, bro. I'm okay. Luckily Melati helped earlier. If not, I would have been taken by that person," Amel said, smiling at the woman befo

The farewell party was held so grandly.For the first time, Citra attended such an event not as someone who was part of it, but as a guest.She really didn't expect it could be this different if she played the role of a guest.A radiant smile naturally bloomed on her beautiful face.Everyone seemed to applaud excitedly when it turned out that the woman Citra had succeeded in creating became the center of attention among all the children and guests there, ranking number one among the 3 kids present.Joy clearly emanated from Amel's face as she raised the trophy she was holding towards Ethan and Citra.Before they knew it, the event was over and everyone started to go out to take photos with their parents.The same went for Amel, who then came over carrying her trophy and certificate."Big Bro Ethan! Big Sis Citra! Look what I just got!" Amel exclaimed, showing off.The two of them then smiled and nodded, agreeing that they were also very proud of the girl."Happy graduation, Amel."Cit

As Citra had told the two people with her, before nightfall, they had already arrived at their new residence first.One apartment unit that truly looked luxurious and magnificent. Ethan didn't understand how Citra could get an apartment so easily. Maybe it was also because she used to be a celebrity, which made it easy for her to get a place to live like this.It was also a coincidence that the news about Citra being disowned was surely intentionally kept secret by her family. No wonder no one knew about it."Here is the room key, Miss. There are two bedrooms in here," said the apartment manager.Citra nodded her head while Ethan, as usual, was the one paying the room rent.The smile on Amel's face had not faded since earlier, she was constantly in awe of the entire building and atmosphere, which was truly different from her village."Which room do you want?" Citra asked, looking at the girl."Hmm...I'll take the one at the end here. So later when I want to go to the kitchen, it's c

"Do you want to sleep together?" Citra asked, seeming to feel bad upon seeing Ethan deciding to sleep on the sofa."Hmm...I mean, in the same room. But we'll have different sleeping places," Citra clarified. She looked flustered by her own words.Ethan chuckled before finally shaking his head."You go to sleep. I'm used to sleeping anywhere. So, don't worry about me," Ethan replied, appreciating the woman's offer."Okay, then I'll go to my room first. Good night.""Night. Sweet dreams," Ethan said, waving his hand.The woman then entered her room, leaving Ethan alone outside that room.Citra immediately shook her head, dismissing any thoughts she felt were strange, and tried to control her mind."What's wrong with me?! No! I can't be like this. What was I just thinking?" Citra muttered incoherently. She then went to the bathroom to wash her face, then took a lying position on her bed.Just as Citra was about to close her eyes, suddenly the memory of Ethan speaking came to her mind.

Citra parked her car at one of the quite well-known cafes in her city. It was a good distance from Citra's new office, where the woman worked."Why did he even ask me to meet him? So annoying," Citra muttered, making an irritated expression.She then shifted her gaze, looking around the area. There was no one she recognized there.Citra's irritation grew, as she couldn't find the person who had made her make an excuse to be there.Actually, Citra also didn't understand why she had to keep secret from Ethan who she was meeting. She shouldn't have done that because that man had absolutely no connection to Citra's life.But when that man had asked earlier, suddenly Citra's mouth felt sealed shut, and she could only say that she had a brief errand."Excuse me, Miss. Are you Miss Citra?" the waiter asked, approaching Citra.Citra, who had just been about to type something on her phone to curse the man who had wasted so much of her time, abandoned that intention."Yes, I am."The waiter the

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.
