108. Long Time, No See!
Seeing his grandfather standing right in front of him, Ethan froze in shock.His fingers still pressed against his stinging cheek as he slowly lifted his gaze to look at Thai Wong. For a brief moment, everything around him faded, and the present blurred into the past.Then, like a cruel echo, the memories came rushing back—“Your shameless mother was busy having sex with another man, and you are here asking me to save your father? Do you really think I give a damn about your dying father? If your father wants to die, then he should go ahead and die. I don’t care!”Those words.They had been spat at him without hesitation, without mercy.Ethan could still remember that day so clearly—how he and his mother had stood there, desperate and broken, begging for help. Begging for a chance to save his father’s life. But Thai Wong had refused. Coldly. Firmly. Without a single trace of sympathy.It wasn’t as if he couldn’t afford it.No.Back then, Thai Wong had the money. More than enough. In f
107. Thai Wong!
The second man froze when he heard Ethan speak like that. In this mansion, he was used to people lowering their heads, used to hearing the word boss fall from their lips without hesitation. To him, it was natural. He stood above them, and they stood beneath him. That was how things had always been.His name was Toby. The small tag clipped neatly to his uniform said it clearly, and Ethan had already taken note of it the moment he walked in.Now, seeing the way Ethan addressed him, Toby felt a sharp sting of anger rise in his chest. His jaw tightened. Who did this man think he was?In Toby’s eyes, Ethan was nothing—just another worker, another face in the crowd. Everyone else in the mansion knew their place. They showed respect. They spoke carefully. They understood who deserved authority.So why wasn’t Ethan doing the same?Toby slowly lifted his head as his eyes locked onto Ethan.“Who the hell do you think you are to challenge me like that?”Ethan remained silent.That silence only
106. His Challenge
The two men Ivy had earlier spilled food on were just returning from the restroom.As they approached the entrance to the control room, they suddenly came face-to-face with Ivy and Ethan stepping out.They froze, clearly startled.They recognized Ivy immediately—but Ethan was a complete stranger. Who was he, and what was he doing there?“Sir, we were just heading out. Our work here is done,” Ivy said smoothly.The second man frowned, unconvinced. His eyes lingered on her, suspicion evident.“You’re done with your work? What work exactly?”Ivy opened her mouth to respond, but the first man cut in.“And who is that?” he asked, pointing directly at Ethan. “Is he with you?”Ivy nodded quickly, a little too eagerly.“Yes, sir. He’s with me. We came together!” she said. Then, as if recalling something important, she added, “Remember when I spilled your meal earlier and everything got messed up? He’s the janitor I called to clean it up.”The two officers exchanged uncertain glances before pe
105. Hold On
Ethan was absolutely astounded to see the man standing there. He instantly realized he had been caught in the act—but he wasn’t done yet.He still hadn’t successfully linked the flash drive to the projector. Until that was done, he couldn’t afford to be stopped.Completely ignoring the presence of the young control room officer in front of him, Ethan continued typing rapidly on the system. His actions only fueled the officer’s anger.“Who the hell are you? And what are you doing in here?” the man barked.Ethan paused, his fingers hovering over the keyboard, then slowly lifted his head to meet the man’s gaze.Locking eyes with him, Ethan spoke calmly,“I know you must be surprised to see me here, but don’t worry. I’m not a criminal or a thief. I’m only here to do what’s right. Just give me two more minutes, and I’ll be done.”The man scoffed. “Two minutes?!”Was this guy serious?A supposed intruder—no, a criminal—was asking for extra time, as if he had any right to negotiate. It was a
104. Caught?!
As Ethan heard this, his eyes widened in shock. That voice… it belonged to a man. And from the tone, it was obvious that the person worked in the control room.Ethan was still trying to navigate what was going on when Ivy’s voice came in.“Uhmm… Sir,” she said, sounding slightly nervous, “I mistakenly spilled the meal meant for you and your colleagues on the floor. So… I’m waiting for the janitor to come clean it up.”There was a brief pause.Then the man nodded. “Alright then. I’ll just go inside—”Ethan’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest.Inside the room, his fingers moved faster, urgency taking over as he focused on replacing the video.But just as the man reached for the door—Ivy grabbed his hand.“You can’t go in there!”The man froze, clearly shocked. “What the heck do you mean by that? That’s where I work. You can’t tell me not to go in!”Ivy’s expression flickered for a split second—she knew she had messed up.But she recovered quickly, forcing a smile on her face.“No,
103. Someone Is Coming!
Ethan didn’t need anyone to tell him how urgent this mission was.The moment Ivy said they only had five minutes to complete this mission, he understood the weight of it immediately.“I heard you, Ivy. I’ll be fast.” He replied. Ivy studied him for a second, then nodded with a faint smile. “I’ll stay outside and keep watch. Just in case anything goes wrong.”“Alright. I won’t take long.”Without another word, she turned and stepped out. The door shut behind her with a sharp slam that echoed through the room.Then Silence followed.Ethan let out a slow, steady breath, trying to calm the tension building inside his chest. Then, without hesitation, he slid his hand into his pocket and pulled out a small device—a flash drive.That tiny object carried everything.Inside it were all the videos Ethan had gathered—every hidden recording of Darlington, every behind-the-scenes clip, every piece of evidence that had been carefully converted and stored. It was all there, compressed into somethin
