There is much hidden beneath the surface of the organization; they are involved in a myriad of illicit activities, including trafficking, smuggling, and various other illegal ventures. Ethan finds himself lost in thought, contemplating just one aspect of their dark dealings. The abrupt clatter of keys dropping onto the table snaps him back to the present. "Let's go meet Mighty-E... now," Mr. Desmond urges. Ethan is dressed in his shabbiest attire, wanting to change but unable to defy the urgency in Mr. Desmond's voice. He rushes out, having already informed his team about their upcoming visit and their need to accept Mr. Desmond's offer. The only way to uncover more about this enigmatic organization is to infiltrate their ranks.After a lengthy drive, they arrive at the sprawling headquarters of the organization. Mr. Desmond lets out a heavy sigh, remembering the humiliation he endured on his first visit. However, he has no other option. "Follow me," he instructs, and Ethan obedien
As soon as Ethan wakes up early, as is his usual routine, he calls Sandra. The first thing he tells her is about Mr. Jayden; he wants him to be suspended for a full three months."Oh, but that's too long," Sandra exclaims."I should have even sacked him, but I don't want to do that. We have to knock some sense into him, make him understand that it's inappropriate," Ethan explains."Okay, I'll pass it on to Derek," Sandra agrees."I'll send you some information. You need to track this woman, make use of Black Scorpion and his goons, and have them tail her. Find out every single detail about her movements," he instructs."What happened this time? Is it a mission from the system?" Sandra inquires."Yeah, it's related to the system mission," Ethan confirms."Why did you tell me not to come out? I think it's time I show myself to him," Sandra suggests."That's for later. We need to plan it very well," Ethan responds and then hangs up. He stretches and opens the door, only to be startled by
After they arrive at the secret house, Ethan is instructed to stay outside and not come near the building, or else he'll risk getting himself killed. "I wonder what they are planning. Every time the system gives him a mission to feed the nation, there's always commotion among them," Ethan ponders while sitting alone in the car.Just then, Sandra calls in. "Hello, what's the situation?" Ethan asks."This is about the woman we tailed. I'll send you some photos. We saw her with a strange man sharing something we don't know yet," Sandra informs him."Send me the pics.""Another thing is that Derek says that the day he was kidnapped, he saw the same man, and they mentioned something about China," she adds."This might be linked to the package we delivered to Lord Chua in China. There's a lot happening," Ethan responds."I'll send you the pics now," Sandra says before hanging up. After a few minutes, the messages pop in, and Ethan mumbles, "Holy crap," because the man in the picture is his
The dings of the system act as the alarm that wakes him up. He groans as he sits up on the bed. [New mission: Celebrate Sandra's birthday and let her enjoy to the fullest, just the two of you]."Oh, today's her birthday? I'll definitely do that, but only the two of us?" Ethan asks.[Yes, just the two of you]."Hmm, what are you thinking?" Ethan inquires, but he receives no response.He heads out and begins preparing breakfast. He needs to do something that will make Mr. Desmond want to send him away. While he's in the kitchen, Nick enters."I don't want to eat what you cook. I want some cookie aliens," Nick demands.This is the right time. "You can cook that yourself.""Wait, are you snapping at me?" Nick retorts."Yes, either eat what I cooked or cook it yourself, you lazy parasite!" Ethan responds angrily. In frustration, Nick throws a punch at him, but Ethan skillfully weaves to avoid it and then delivers a hard kick. Nick hits the floor with a loud thud, and soon the rest of the
Ariana directs a fierce gaze towards the man, though her powerlessness is evident; there is nothing she can physically do to change the situation."What's wrong with that look? Are you trying to provoke me into a fight?" he slurs, caught in the haze of his drunkenness."If you refuse to leave immediately, I will have no choice but to contact the police," the attendant sternly threatens. The man begrudgingly shifts his attention to her and takes a step forward, prompting the waitress to quiver with fear."Hey, you should never treat a lady that way!" a voice suddenly interjects from behind. Startled, everyone present turns to see who has spoken."Ethan?" Ariana whispers, astonishment washing over her features. In response, Ethan offers her a warm smile.(Three minutes ago)"Hey, don't," Sandra yells after him. He walks back to her. "I can't just look, I will exchange clothes with the homeless," he says and leaves."Who are you to interfere? Are you his husband?" the man grumbles as he
Ethan meets up with Sandra and Derek to discuss the invitation. Looking at Derek's face, it's clear he's overwhelmed with fear and trepidation. "You don't have to go if..." Ethan starts to say, but Derek cuts him off, determination in his voice, "I'm okay... I can do it. I have to avenge my sister."This revelation surprises both of them. "Your sister? What happened to your sister?" Ethan inquires.Derek exhales loudly, his voice heavy with sorrow. "We were both taken, and on our way, we got separated. I haven't seen her since then. Some of the people who were taken with her said she was killed because she saw something she shouldn't have."Everyone in Ethan's circle bears the scars of past wounds, just like him. "I'm certain the organization has something to do with the kidnappings, especially since you saw Mr. Ben," Ethan points out.Derek nods resolutely. "So, I'll do this," he declares.Ethan proceeds to lay out their plan, detailing how they intend to deceive their captors until
Even though, he said they should return. Black Scorpion discovers the location where the kidnapped individuals are being held. Accompanied by his subordinates, Jason and Blade, they decide to investigate further to determine the purpose behind holding these people captive. The kidnapped individuals are kept in an unfinished building."Should we go in?" Black Scorpion suggests."We should wait for the boss to give us the go-ahead," Jason advises cautiously."I think we should go in now. We have to find out what they're doing," Blade supports, eager to take action."We don't know what we'll encounter inside," Jason expresses his concern.As they deliberate, their attention is drawn back to the building by a sudden movement. Someone is running out of the building, a young boy."Don't let him get away!" a group of suited men chase after him."We have to help him," Jason murmurs urgently. Black Scorpion and Blade intervene, rushing toward the person who escaped the building."Who are you?"
Ethan and Ariana descend the stairs to find the family already waiting for them, all wearing furious expressions."Honey, we have to send him away," Mrs. Desmond insists.Mr. Desmond knows it's not an easy option, given that Mr. Rex has placed Ethan under his watchful eye. "Let's leave him be, but he needs to know his boundaries," he says, fixing a stern gaze on Ethan.Ethan bows slightly and murmurs, "Yes, sir."Just then, the stairs creak, and they all turn to see Ariana struggling to come downstairs with a suitcase in tow."Where do you think you're going?" Mr. Desmond snaps at her.Ariana ignores their angry faces and keeps walking. Max grabs her hand and pleads, "Why are you doing all of this? You don't need to.""Yeah, all of you are the reason I'm doing this. You keep mistreating him, and he's innocent. I can't understand why you enjoy doing that. I'm sick of it, and I can't bear to witness it anymore," she replies, twisting her hand to free herself.As she continues to leave,
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. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly lowered his weapon. "Fine, let's talk," he conceded, though his tone carried a note of reluctance.Ariana left the room leaving the both of them to talk, as she walked out, she saw tony smiling and weaving at her.she hissed and went on her way, she rushed towards her."why ignoring me", he asked."it seemed you are enjoying this situation, smiling and dancing
"Don't do it," Ethan glares at the gang leader, as if he could swallow him up. The leader laughs, "What can you do? You will just watch your family die in front of you before I kill you." Ethan glares back, blood in his eyes, "Don't do it, please," he pleads.The leader smirks, his hand hovering over the trigger, "Say bye to them," he says. "Nooo!" Ethan shouts, then a strange sensation surges inside him, and his eyeballs turn white before returning to normal.The leader hesitates, wondering what's wrong with him. Suddenly, a message appears: {System Reactivated… Host Found… 25%, 35%, 45%, 100%}. Ethan thinks he's dreaming, unable to believe his eyes and the sounds he's hearing. The system is back.{You summoned the system, would you like to sign in? Note that if you sign in now, it will be for eternity}. Ethan exhales loudly, finding it hard to understand how he summoned the system a second time. "Yes, I will sign."{Signing: 35%, 45%, 55%, 75%, 100%, completed. All skills, stage,
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. Think about your freezer asset; I can let them free it," he said."Really, but I don't need it," Ethan replies.Mr. Desmond laughs, "You know you can't kill me. Think of your kid. How could you be a father for him in prison?""You think this is funny? I just figured out my mistake. I keep sparing you people, nevertheless, you keep coming back as a problem.""This will be my last problem of yours," Mr. Desmond smirks, but it's clear he isn't telling the truth."Are you enjoying this?" Ethan asks."Maybe yes, Ethan... You brought this upon yourself. And you know what, there is still the organization. Nick is forming it back, so there is no way you can end that," he said."I will kill you,
"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. The detective gazes at Ethan, then says, "You can go." Ethan smirks, wondering why they let him go so easily. He leaves the officer, only to find Mr. Desmond waiting for him outside. He ignores him and keeps walking."You sho
Mr. Desmond calls Ethan back, saying, "You have to meet him.""She is with your daughter, and you don’t even care, asking me to meet him?" Ethan questions."He wants you and won’t release her no matter what I do. If you don’t meet with him, he will kill her. If you don’t want to see her dead, meet him," Mr. Desmond says, ending the call.Ethan scoffs, wondering how a parent could do such a thing."So, what do we do now?" Sandra asks."I have to meet him in the location," Ethan responds.Sandra interrupts, "That will be very dangerous. You know he will kill you.""Yes, but if I don’t go, he will kill Ariana," Ethan says."So, we have to plan. We have to involve the police," Sandra suggests."Yes… call Derek and others," Ethan instructs.After Tony calls Ethan, he still feels uneasy and believes involving the police is necessary. He heads to the police station and reports the situation. The police put themselves to work, and instead of Tony going home, he lurks around, waiting for updat
Earthlord looked dumbfounded, “What do you think you are doing?”“Mind what you say, you are online,” Ethan smiles wickedly. Just then, one of the guards moves closer to Earthlord and whispers to him.“I will kill you,” he says as he walks away, leaving Ethan in the room. After a few minutes, the police arrive, but Earthlord and the others have escaped. The police take Ethan in for questioning, and he tells them everything.After Ethan leaves the police station, he heads to the hideout where the others are gathered.“You did good work,” Derek says.Ethan exhales, “But he escaped. He would do anything to come back for me.”“We have to be very careful; you should always walk in pairs,” Mr. Davis says.Sandra says, “Now that he has confessed, they should free you now and unfreeze all your access.”Ethan nods, “But we can’t be sure. Earthlord might have more influence than we think.”“What about Mr. Desmond and Nick? We should do something about them, maybe kill them,” Feifei suggests.Et
"Are you saying Mr. Desmond will provide organs for him?" Ethan asks, unbelievably."If he's the one backing them up, then that's what he is sure to do," the man said.Ethan nods, "Okay, you can go."The man left."They are always evil, and they will continue to behave so. We have to stop them," Ethan mutters."You have to concentrate on yourself first. You are losing everything. You have to clear your name and regain everything back," Sandra says.He sits down gently, "I will have to meet him.""For what? No, you can't do that. He will kill you. You heard what he said; he's a devil," Sandra says."I have to meet him and know what he is. I will be okay," he said.******Ariana walks out of the new apartment she is now living in, dressed in a full grey coat, looking sophisticated.As she is about to open her car, a hand pushes the door back to close and points a gun at her, discreetly."Follow me gently," the voice says."What do you want?" Ariana inquires, shaking."Don't ask me that,
Ethan travels back to the country with his innocent son, determined to put an end to this once and for all.When they arrive at the airport, Mr. Davis and Feifei are already waiting for him."Boss, you look haggard," Mr. Davis remarked.Ethan nods, instead smiling. "I have prepared a hideout. there, we can make our plan and stay for the meantime.""Okay, thanks," Ethan says.After some minutes, they arrive at the hideout. It's a tiny, cold space, more like a container, with a flicker of light."Dad, I can't live here," Noah complains.Sandra hugs him. "It's gonna be okay."Feifei whispers, "That's the reason I'm telling him I'm not ready to give birth."They all scoff."So, what's our next plan?" Mr. Davis proposes."If we could step outside for a moment," Feifei says, looking at Noah. She doesn't want him to hear all they're about to discuss as he's just a kid.Sandra nods in understanding and stays with him as the others walk out."We know there is someone behind this, and we couldn
"We have to go back," Ethan says, scanning the room, while Noah sits down, wondering what happened."No, we're not going back. Let's run away from here, go to another country," Sandra suggests."You heard it yourself. They'll always find us, no matter how much we run. He sees us, and he will find us," Ethan retorts. 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. All the companies you put under me, the shareholders are withdrawing, the people we partnered with are terminating the contracts with all possibilities," he says."Alex, what did you do wrong to make them do this?" Ethan
