"Huh?" The thugs froze, not believing their ears. Was this person standing before them even normal?Did he really want them to take the money, or was he just trying to mess with them?They didn't know what was happening, but that didn't mean they were not going to seize the opportunity standing right before them.After all, this person seemed to be willing to give it to them."Hey, you," the leader of the thugs pointed at one of his lackeys."Grab the money and let's get the hell out of here," he commanded, his eyes narrowing into a thin line.For some reason, he could tell that something was wrong, but as to what exactly was wrong, he had no idea.The thug nodded and immediately moved, wanting to take the bag of cash.But the moment he stretched his hands to grab the cash, Ethan suddenly grabbed his hands.The thug froze and then tried to pull his hands, but to his shock, it was as if an iron clamp was stamped on his wrist, and he couldn't move it even a bit."Let go!" The thug strug

"Boys, break his limbs; thirty thousand for every limb," the leader announced, waving his hands; a vicious smile slowly spread across his face.There was no way he was just going to take this humiliation lying down.Hearing the money involved, the thugs rushed forward; this time, they seemed to have forgotten about the money and were headed straight for Ethan."Do you think the Boss can survive this?" Gladdy swallowed, stepping back a little from the gate, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.What the heck was she witnessing?She had to admit that the boss was pretty cunning and bold, but would he be able to deal with all of these heartless thugs?"Let's just hope they don't get their way," Gabriel also swallowed, not even knowing what to say.He also felt as if something was stuck in his throat, as he didn't even know how to feel.Help the boss? He was nothing but an old man. Besides, he didn't even have any fighting knowledge or skills.That was basically jumping into dange

"So what do you say?" Ethan asked once again, his gaze on the thugs who were now rolling around in pain."Don't worry, we don't need your money any more," The leader groaned managing to stand up.Since this person was so skilled, he figured out he was not just an ordinary person.After all, who would just sit and start learning combat except they had a particular use for it.He might be a thug, but that didn't mean he was foolish and was going to throw his life and the lives of the others away."How about this," Ethan spoke sounding rather unhurried his gaze still on the thugs."My company is short of hands and we have tons of things we need to do," He continued, his voice as smooth as water.The moment the employee behind heard this they froze. What the heck was the boss trying to do?But then if he were to recruit these thugs and they didn't do anything sketchy, more than ninety percent of the deliveries would arrive in their destination before dawn."Our company needs delivery men,

Ethan paused mid-step, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips before he turned around to face the leader."Oh? You're agreeing already?" he asked, raising a brow as if mildly surprised, though he had expected nothing less.Thirty minutes had barely passed, yet here they were, practically falling over themselves to take the offer."Yes, sir," the leader nodded, wincing slightly as he straightened his back, the bruises from earlier still fresh."Better this than living the thug life forever," he admitted, glancing briefly at the men behind him who all nodded in agreement.None of them had ever made that much money in one night, let alone one trip. Splitting stolen scraps and extortion money among a dozen men barely left anything worth calling a living.Two hundred bucks a trip was more than double what most of them scraped together in an entire week."Smart choice," Ethan said, walking back toward the group, his earlier warmth returning now that the tension had settled."Then i

The truck doors opened, and one by one, the drivers climbed down, stretching their stiff limbs from the long drive."Evening, boss," the first driver called out, giving Ethan a small wave as he approached."Evening," Ethan replied, and then dipped his head slightly."Sorry for pulling you all out this late. I know it's not exactly convenient," he added, glancing at the tired faces before him.Most of the drivers just smiled, a few even chuckled and waved off the apology like it was nothing."It's fine, boss. Work is work," one of them replied, cracking his knuckles as he looked around the company grounds.Another one nodded along, rubbing the sleep from his eyes but still managing a polite grin.Ethan felt a small wave of relief wash over him. At least these ones weren't going to give him trouble."Good. Give me a bit of time to sort a few things out, and then we'll get moving," Ethan spoke, already turning his attention toward the rest of the company grounds.There was still a lot to

"Alright, let's get moving," Ethan clapped his hands together, turning to address the workers gathered around him."We need every parcel loaded into those trucks, and I mean every single one," he continued, pointing toward the vehicles parked just outside.The workers scrambled into motion immediately, grabbing boxes and crates from the storage area, forming a line that stretched from the warehouse straight to the trucks.The thugs, now perched on their new bikes, hopped off one by one to lend a hand, carrying loads that would have taken two men to lift on their own."Careful with that one, it's fragile," Gladdy warned, watching one of the thugs toss a box a little too carelessly onto the truck bed.The man froze mid throw, glancing back at her sheepishly before setting the next one down with far more care.Within minutes, the loading process picked up speed, boxes and parcels disappearing into the trucks faster than anyone expected.Ethan stood off to the side, watching the chaos unf

By the time it was dawn, Ethan and the rest of the employees were so exhausted. Everyone followed through with their duties allocated to them. Ethan oversaw everything and also continued to respond to calls from the truck drivers and the thugs asking if they were on the right track. As for the chubby man, whose name was Samuel, he didn't stop making calls. Whenever a package was delivered, he would call the customer to inform them that their package was ready and waiting for them right outside their home. This happened for four good hours. As for Margaret, she made sure the older packages were sent out first. She also monitored every package, making sure they reached the right destination and no one was switched with another. Helen was the one in charge of repackaging every item and also sent emails and text messages when necessary. After every customer received their delivery, it was her duty to send a follow-up message, apologizing for the delay and asking if there were issues w

Yes. The question was simple, but a chill ran through Jack's spine. Ethan was stern in his question. The authority with which Ethan spoke made him wonder where the man was from.“Never," Jack replied. For the first time in his life, he was glad he had never stolen from this company. “Do you swear you did not steal parts of my company's generators?" Jack went weak on his knees as he began to sweat profusely. He didn't know if any of his members had gone behind his back to steal, but they would never disobey him. “Boss, I would never lie to you." Jack fell to his knees, " If we steal, I would tell you. I have never instructed my people to steal from Delta Logistics. But I will ask them one after the other. I will get the truth out of them, and I will report back to you.” Ethan saw in Jack's eyes that he wasn't lying. But if it wasn't the thugs, then who? " I'll be waiting.” Jack nodded, stood on his feet, and rushed out of the compound. With the speed at which Jack ran, Ethan c

[Ding!]Mission UpdatedRestore Delta Logistics to profitability.Progress: 8%Reward: 500,000Ethan woke up with the sound of the system. He had fallen asleep beside Jenna's bed. He sat upright and cracked his neck. It had been a long day for him. And Jenna. He watched her pale face and removed the strand of hair from her face. She had been sickly since childhood, and it got worse after the death of their parents. She was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. He had taken up several jobs just to pay for her surgery. And the more he sent money, the more the hospital claimed it wasn't enough because her condition was way too serious.All he wanted was to see his Jenna happy and smiling again—free from pain. Only now did it dawn on him that the hospital had been playing with him all this time. They could have conducted the surgery long ago. But they manipulated everything.He wasn't done with them. In fact, this was just the beginning because he would make sure everyone who made h

After a while, Ethan checked his brown leather wristwatch on his wrist. It was already 2 p.m. He looked down at Jenna, who was still unconscious, and whispered, “I'll go get us a bigger apartment. You'll have a big room, and you can design it any way you see fit." He dropped his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. Ethan straightened up again before turning to walk out. As he walked through the corridor, his eyes scanned the hospital that had duped him again and again. On the surface, no one would suspect that St Heaven could be so corrupt as to drain the life out of the poor masses. Now that he knew, he was going to get to the bottom of it. Ethan stepped out of the hospital and flagged a cab. Before he could tell the cab driver where he was heading, his stomach grumbled. " Any good restaurant,” he said instead. The driver glanced at the rear-view mirror before giving a simple nod. In less than twelve minutes, Ethan found himself in front of Gracious Life Restaurant.He ha
