2024-10-29 19:42:56The loud banging on the door jolts Ethan awake, and his bleary eyes land on the clock – already past nine.
He knows he's in for some scolding as he opens the door, and there stands Ariana.
"Hope nothing's wrong; you woke up late," she says, her eyes filled with concern.
"I'm okay, just tired," Ethan replies, and Ariana nods.
She turns to leave but abruptly halts, casting an assessing glance up and down Ethan before turning back, leaving him puzzled.
Realizing he is late, Ethan rushes to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
"What! Where is Ethan?" Mrs. Desmond's voice echoes through the house, reaching the kitchen. The impending facepalm moment has arrived. He hurriedly approaches her.
"I'm sorry, I woke up late," he mumbles, bowing his head.
Then, Mr. Desmond enters, and his wife envelops him in a hug.
"Where were you all night?" she asks while helping him with his suit.
"Just had an urgent and serious meeting," he replies, moving further into the room.
"Good morning, sir," Ethan greets him, trying to recover from the morning chaos.
As Ethan surveys the room, he asks, "Have you all eaten?""No, he's just cooking," Mr. Desmond replies.
"What! Are you insane? Just because I'm not around!" he yells simultaneously.
Nick emerges from his room, looking angry as he glances at Ethan. But his anger turns to surprise, and he asks, "Why are you in that?"
They all stare at Ethan, who suddenly realizes something is off. He examines himself, noticing that the shirt he is wearing is new and glistening, worth millions.
"It...it's one of my old clothes," he stammers, trying to make an excuse.
"This just arrived at the market yesterday night; I was even planning on how to get it. How the hell..." Nick trails off.
Ethan can't believe the system has done this. "I pre-ordered it, exclusively," he confesses.
They are all amazed.
"You were such a spoilt brat. Now, take off that shirt and wash his feet with it," Mr. Desmond orders Ethan, while Nick smirks, taking a seat.
"You heard that, wash my feet with your multi-million-dollar clothes," Nick repeats, enjoying the moment.
"I'm cooking, I'll join you once I'm done," Ethan says as he continues with his meal preparation.
After breakfast, Ethan finds himself busy washing Nick's feet with the expensive clothes.
"I don't know why you have to do this," Ariana protests.
"That's his job," Mrs. Desmond remarks.
Max seethes with anger, despising every time Ariana shows concern for Nick.
They turn on the TV to catch up on the news about Mighty-E and the nationwide giveaway. They are shocked to see that 200 million people have claimed the money.
"How could someone have that much money? And even if he does, why spend it so recklessly?" Mrs. Desmond exclaims.
"For him to do this means he still has a lot. I wonder about the source of his money," Mr. Desmond muses.
"To calculate it, that is, giving each person thirty-three thousand..." Max begins to calculate on his phone. "Wow, that's a trillion!" he exclaims.
Just then, there is a knock on the door, and Ethan rushes to open it. It is his uncle. "Welcome, Uncle," he greets.
Uncle Ben glares at him for a moment. "You, you bastard!" He pushes Ethan aside and storms in.
"Good morning, Ben," Mrs. Desmond greets.
"I want privacy with you," Uncle Ben says to Mr. Desmond. Mr. Desmond motions to his family. They move to another room. Ethan follows.
"Ethan, stop," Mr. Ben says.
"What's wrong, Ben?" Ethan asks.
Mr. Ben calls Ethan closer and plays a video on his phone. It clearly shows Ethan in the strange secret house from the other day when the system gave him the mission to sneak around. Ethan bites his lips.
"You, you bastard!" Mr. Desmond shouts, landing a hot slap on Ethan's cheek.
"I'm sorry, I... I..." Ethan stammers, kneeling down.
"What should we do now? What did the leader say?" Mr. Desmond asks.
"He asked for him. I don't know what will happen to him," Mr. Ben replies.
Ethan wonders what is going on. It seems like they are involved in some kind of organization with a leader.
"Go and dress up," Mr. Desmond prompts.
Ethan enters his room, his mind racing with thoughts. "What are they planning? What kind of organization are they involved in? I hope they don't plan to kill me. I'd rather reveal my true form than follow them."
As he contemplates, the mission reloads: {25%, 65%, 95%, 100%}.
"Don't tell me..." Ethan mutters, fearing what he is thinking.
Then, a new mission emerges: {Follow them}."
"Why must you give me a death mission? I've missed all those missions; it's just that I've spent..." he murmurs.
The system replies with a tempting {reward: 10 trillion}.
"What a high price for my death," he says.
But then, the {reward depletion announced: 5 trillion}.
"Why? It's not that I'm refusing it," he protests, but there is no response. He reluctantly dresses in his clothes.
Exiting the car, the chilly air sends shivers down his spine. The building is the tallest in the country after his own company's. He wonders, "What could they possibly be doing here?"
Ethan leads the way as they enter the building. The interior is just as vast as the exterior. He is surprised to see a gathering of prestigious people, about twelve of them, seated in a circular formation. An elderly man, exuding authority, sits at the center. Three bodyguards stand around them.
Murmurs erupt as they spot Ethan. He realizes he has stepped into some kind of cult gathering.
"Is that him?" the old man utters after taking a sip of tea. "Who are you working for?" he asks, fixing his gaze on Ethan.
Ethan remains silent, unsure of how to respond. The old man signals one of the bodyguards, who draws a gun and aims it directly at him.
"You have three seconds," the old man murmurs, raising the tension in the room.

Ethan's heavy eyelids reluctantly open, a dull ringing in his head. His surroundings slowly come into focus as he blinks away the blur. He finds himself bound to a steel chair, his hands securely tied behind his back. Sandra and the bar-lady are similarly restrained nearby. "You're awake. Your little plan isn't quite working out this time," Sandra remarks, disappointment etched on her face. Ethan nods, realizing that his strategy is failing miserably. They're in an unfamiliar place, far from help. As the three captors come into view, one of them brandishes a phone, gesturing for the bar-lady to translate. She relays their message, "They're asking for the phone's password. They say they'll let us go if you give it to them." Ethan scoffs, knowing that revealing the password isn't an option. They converse again, and the translator relays, "They're giving us a chance before the guns arrive." Ethan, defiant, responds firmly, "Tell them to go to hell." The woman gazes at him incred

Approaching Lord Chua, Ethan extends his hand for a handshake, acknowledging, "Hello, Lord Chua. I know you understand English well. Congratulations." Lord Chua's bodyguards are ready to intervene, but he motions for them to stand down, aware of the onlookers. When he takes Ethan's hand, he unexpectedly squeezes it firmly, causing Ethan to grimace quietly. Leaning in closer to Ethan's ear, he whispers ominously, "I am going to kill you for that," before releasing his grip and heading to his car.

Ethan, accustomed to his daily routine, rises early in the morning, takes charge of cooking, and meticulously tidies up the house. On this particular morning, an unusual hush fills the room as they sit down for breakfast. The sole sounds are the clinking of silverware against plates until Mr. Desmond finally breaks the silence."Why the somber atmosphere, everyone?" he inquires. "Well, I have an announcement to make. I'm passing the reins of Des Technology and Engineering to my son, Nick," he declares, causing everyone to straighten up in their seats. Mr. Desmond is the owner of three distinct companies—Des Technology and Engineering, Des Financial Management, and Des Welfare and Growth.

He walks inside the Royal High Hotel, remembering the day he first came here. It was the first time he met Sandra. "I will like to lodge overnight," he says to the receptionist, who is busily jotting something down in the record. When she gazes up, she is the receptionist from the other day. She, at first, startles as she sees him, then becomes even more polite. "Thanks for coming again; I have been looking forward to when you will come again," she says. Ethan nods, "I want the VVIP." "Oh..." she brings out the brochure. The one available now is the "VVVIP." "How much?" he asks. "200 million, sir."

He calls upon Black Scorpion, putting him into motion with a straightforward mission: trail them, capture them, and recover the stolen ID cards."Sandra, why do you think the system chose me out of all people?" Ethan asks Sandra, curious about his unique role."Because they did you unfairly, and you were about to die. I'd say the system pitied you," Sandra responds.Ethan nods, pondering his recent missions. "The missions the system has given me revolve around me and that secret organization. The main reason, I think, is that I am the only person close to them."Sandra repeatedly nods in agreement. "What baffles me is how this system can provide money and upgrades."Ethan grins mischievously. "Don't try to trace the root of my system before it gives me a mission to smack your face... that is some cool money, you know."Sandra scoffs playfully, and Derek, sitting quietly, wonders what they are

The room seemed to shrink as tension filled every corner. Sean's eyes bore into Ethan's, each step e. Before either could make a move, Ariana stepped forward, her voice cutting through the heavy air."Enough, both of you!" she exclaimed, standing between the two men. "We've seen enough bloodshed. There has to be a way to end this without more violence."Ethan, his determination unwavering, nodded in agreement. "She's right, Sean. We need to find a resolution, not perpetuate this cycle of revenge."Sean's gaze shifted between Ariana and Ethan, a battle of emotions playing out on his face.

Ethan approaches Mr. Desmond, who gazes at him, trembling and shaking."I told you, this will be your only chance," he says."So, what are you going to do with me?" Mr. Desmond stammers."What do you think? I will kill you, of course," Ethan smirks, bringing out his gun."You know that will be stupid.

"I told you I know nothing about it; I am here to save her," Ethan tells the detective in the hospital. The detective presses on, "Why didn't you call the police when the abductor called you?""They warned me not to call, unless they will kill her," he said. "You should have at least told the police, and we would have looked for what to do," the detective said. Ethan exhales loudly, "The victim has told you herself that I am innocent."The detective then slams the table, "What is your business with the abductor, and why did he want you so badly that he would even kidnap someone to threaten you?". "I am not answering any more questions," Ethan says. He knows Mr. Desmond was at work.Just then, an officer enters the room and whispers something to the officer.

While Sandra brushes her hair with her fingers, the phone rings again, and they almost jump in surprise. He looks at Sandra, who nods, giving him the go-ahead to answer the call."Hello, who is that?" his voice trembles."Hello, it's me... Alex," Alex mumbles. His voice already indicates that something is wrong."What's wrong?" he asks."The company, it's going bankrupt," Alex announces."What? How did that happen? How..." Ethan trails off."I don't know.
