"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
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
"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,
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
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
"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
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,
"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,
