“Because once I make a decision, I don't want to discover later that I built everything on an assumption." Ethan stated in a thoughtful tone, Scarlett couldn't help but to nod her head agreeing with him. "That makes sense… we couldn't take any risks at this moment.” A quiet silence settled between them, but it lasted only briefly before Scarlett remembered another part of the mystery."What about Nathaniel?"Ethan turned toward her. "What about him?""Could his return have something to do with all of this?" Scarlett suspected, Ethan shook his head, “all I can say is not to think too much about this, to be honest I don't know.""Don't you think it's a coincidence?" Scarlett pressed, studying his expression."I don't know that either," Ethan replied calmly.Scarlett frowned, still unconvinced. "You really don't have any suspicion?""I have several possibilities in mind, but I don't want to settle on any of them yet." Ethan leaned forward with a sigh, while she raised an eyebrow. "Then

"That's what it looks like." Ethan stated, Scarlett sighed softly. "And the plan involved bringing another person into your family… the same person made you an outsider to your own family.” Ethan's gaze remained fixed on the phone."That's all in the past, it doesn't bother me anymore.” Scarlett was silent for a moment as she tried to put all the pieces together."This must be a huge plan Ethan, I don't think of coincidences anymore, someone must've intentionally got rid of Wilson family family knowing how your both families are connected, secondly they erased everything related to real Charlie and brought fake one to your family, and that fake one's motive from the first day is to steal your position, in between selfishness and greed of someone, two innocent lives were ruined here, first real Charlie, second you, they didn't even spare child…. What ruthless monsters are they!” Ethan looked at her. “If they're not ruthless, we need to be surprised, don't forget the threats they use

"Right now, the same nation needs not me, but you… That's what I'm trying to say.” Ethan stared at General Hawke, trying to understand what he meant. He had expected a request for information at most, but the seriousness in Hawke's expression made it clear that this conversation was far from over."If you're asking me to become an agent again, you've called the wrong person… I've a family now, I've a wife to love and I want to live happily. I don't want to do anything risky or sacrifice myself, I can't live without her and she can't live without me either.” Both Rodriguez and Hawke exchanged their glances while Rodriguez tried to control his laugh. “Young people these days….” Hawke gave a faint smile. "I'm not asking you to become an agent, I'm not that cold hearted enough to make you sacrifice yourself by dragging you into a risky situation. I know very well that the Shadow Tyrant doesn't belong to anyone."Rodriguez leaned back in his chair. "We're not here to offer you a positio

"That warehouse wasn't operational eight years ago," Ethan clarified quietly.Hawke's expression turned puzzled. "That's impossible. The building itself was constructed only six years ago."Ethan turned toward him, studying the photograph again. "Then someone has recreated the old network.” The room fell quiet as Rodriguez examined the photographs again, trying to understand the implication."You think they're using the same structure?" he questioned."Not exactly." Ethan pointed toward the symbol visible in the photograph. "They're using the same system, I don't know if it is the same person doing it, or someone trying to take advantage of the old structure…. At this point, everything feels strange.” Hawke's expression became more serious as he considered Ethan's words. "There's another reason we wanted to speak with you."Ethan waited patiently for him to continue.Hawke pulled another photograph from the folder and placed it on the table. "This person was recently seen with Vikto

“Sister, what exactly are you trying to say?” Charlie appeared genuinely confused by Sally's accusation. "I'm trying to help you. Why would I want you to get into trouble? When did I even do anything to hurt you?” Sally's expression hardened. "You're not trying to help me. You're trying to make yourself look innocent when you're the cause of everything, that day if not because of you and your lies I and Jenny wouldn't damage Ethan's items, and if not because of you, we wouldn't meet the loan sharks either.” His face changed immediately, as if her words had genuinely hurt him. "I don't understand why you're attacking me like this. When did I even tell you to damage Ethan's items? About these loan sharks, I know nothing, I only took you to someone who could arrange the money when you needed it… How could I know they're dangerous people?” "You knew exactly who they were." Sally argued, while he pretended to be more innocent. "I didn't know they were loan sharks.""You did."Jerome ra
