Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)

Nathan still had that careless glint in his eyes, but it only reminded me of a saying.

Don’t judge the book by the cover.

Above all, how could I forget that Nathan is already involved with the mafia?

“Hey, bro! I didn’t mean to pry into your background. This is just a self-defense mechanism of every wealthy family.” He defended himself, raising his brows with an annoyed gaze.

“And what exactly did you expect to find, Mr. Campbell?” I asked him calmly, but his smile fa

Yet I was a bit anxious.[CONTRACT BREACH STATUS: NOT ESTABLISHED.][THE PREVIOUS WARNING HAS BEEN RECLASSIFIED AS ADVISORY.][NO PENALTY WILL BE ISSUED.]A satisfied smile spread across my face.“See?

    Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)The cursor didn’t move again.It continued blinking for the next several seconds.“Are you okay, Ethan?” Ashton asked from inside.“I am fine,” I answered him, intending to go inside when the cursor started moving again.Come on, dude! I had school stuff to deal with, too.[THE HOST'S PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS DO NOT GRANT HIM PERMISSION TO INTERFERE WITH PREDETERMINED EVENTS.]I frowned, shocked by this absurd logic."Predetermined events?" I repeated slowly.Until now, the system referred to the natural course of events, but it had never explicitly mentioned that those events were predetermined."Are you telling me that everything happening around me has already been decided?" I asked, curiosity evident in my voice.[THE SYSTEM IS NOT AUTHORISED TO DISCLOSE INFORMATION REGARDING THE MECHANISM OF FATE.]I raised an eyebrow.For some reason, I was enjoying this argument when I shouldn’t.I still have had so many things to take care of, especially things with my

    Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)I jerked my head when a very familiar silhouette appeared in front of my eyes, but he had his back towards me.“These documents don’t look right, Dad.”My fingers curled up into a tight fist when I recognized the voice.“They didn’t mention what project we are transferring this much money for.”Money????My mind raced.“You don’t need to know all the details. Just sign it, and go back. You still have school tomorrow.”The voice was mature, cold, and distant.He called this man “Dad”.“What happened? Why are you sweating so furiously?” Ashton asked me worriedly.“I am okay,” I replied to him in a stiff voice.The word “Money” got stuck in my mind.I had a mission to finish later, and that was related to money.“You suddenly clutched your head, and it’s not the first time,” Lucifer remarked seriously.“The first time I met you, your headache was so intense that you passed out before I could catch you. You should have consulted a neurologist at that time.” I sm

    Ethan’s P.O.V.“We have thirteen versions in total,” Ashton said, his gaze fixed on the monitor.“Eight copies of the original program and five modified versions of your prototype. We combined selected components and produced two experimental builds, but neither behaves the way we expected.”The atmosphere in the room was already thick with smoke, and the way he left his statement hanging only gave me a bad feeling.I looked at Lucifer, who also had a dark expression, as if someone had forced a fly down his throat.After Nathan and I came back to the room, Nathan just packed a duffel bag and went back home.He didn’t tell me why his father was calling him home, and I didn’t ask.I had no desire to know.Ashton and Lucifer were still working, and they started explaining what they found after Nathan went away.We three had converted a small part of the room into a working station where we had four systems installed to work, and none of them was connected to the internet.They got some r

    Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)If I could kill the person controlling the system behind this screen, I could have killed him without even blinking.Just like I killed the first person after coming back to life.I finished the last mission two days ago.That was about illegal arms dealing, another digital fight with Hacker0, and in the end, I had to fake a blast there to get the attention of the authorities.Even with the emotional suppression, I could still feel the impact of those lives that I took away because of these missions.Especially those children two months ago.“Not now,” I muttered in my head.But the system didn’t listen to my inner thoughts.[Mission Objective: Destroy one of the biggest money laundering networks tonight. 50 billion transferred out of the country through different shell companies and other networks]I kept walking, the screen flying in front of my eyes, and my grip tight on my phone.“Being an elder brother to a younger sister is really tough.

    Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Bro!” The sob that escaped from her throat was enough to freeze my blood.“What happened, Iris? Where are you?” I asked her anxiously, straightening my back.“What happened?” Nathan asked me hurriedly, but I spun on my heel, almost running towards the door.“I….. I am in the girls’ restroom in the library wing, bro. I….. I think I…. I got my first period,” she answered, and I stopped in my tracks.She was crying, sounding in pain and scared.I closed my eyes and breathed out in relief.The system assured me whenever I was attacked that my siblings were safe, but it still couldn’t find who was actually after my life.So, yes…I was scared to death when I heard her sob.“Relax, Iris. This is normal, and you know that, right?” I comforted her but scratched the back of my head.Even if I knew that it was normal for a girl of her age to get her first period, I didn’t know how to help her.“I…. I know, bro…. b…. but I…I am bleeding too much….I…. I am scared, Bro.
