"I have to say, you've been a sneaky little rat, hiding perfectly all this time.

But as they always say, 99 days for the thief and one day for the owner. Your body should have some good old cash!" Their vicious laughter filled the air.

Ethan was struck to the floor, and laughter cracked through the arena. Everyone passed by like nothing was happening. No one was going to risk their lives for a peasant.

"You can't do this. The agreement doesn't say I'm overdue yet!" Ethan protested.

Liege stepped forward, slamming Ethan's hands as pain erupted through the whole of his body.

"Sadly, we make the rules here and not you. And we can wait for you to get a shitty little life together and give us our money. We want it now.

Besides, getting rid of trash like you would be doing the world a big favour. One less bulldog taking up the space real humans should be!"

Ethan tried to break free from their circle. Run away. But he was surrounded from every side and outnumbered.

Ethan crashed backwards, he struggled and tried to break from their grip, but he was firmly outnumbered.

"Give up homeless dog. You should start correcting your last words cause soon enough, you will be saying hello to the devil in hell!"

Ethan spat on his face. 

"At least I won't get to see this ugly face of yours anymore!" 

Liege's face twisted with rage. He has never had anyone treat him in such a manner before, let alone a little peasant like Ethan.

"You just signed up for a more painful death!" Liege turned around to the men and ordered.

"I want to hear every bone in his body breaking. And if I am not satisfied, I am going to show you how it's done, using your bones as the proper specimen!" He jerked.

The men bowed and thundered at Ethan. Their weapons were ready to tear him into tiny bits, but then, they stopped.

An SUV that just stormed into the arena captured their glances. Sleek and intimidating. It was unlike anything that they had seen before and they were caught in awe.

A lady stepped down from the car. Her glass-like skin reflected the perfect glow of the sun and her steps blended with the wind.

Liege smiles briefly. The lady had definitely come to see him.

Her aura pierced through the air, rendering everyone almost breathless. And for a brief moment, all the men around were so lost in their individual fantasies that they could barely remember that they had someone like Ethan to deal with.

"What do you want here princess!" Liege rolled his lips with pleasure as the images of the lost filled his head.

He trained to touch her but a towering figure. Broad like a bouncer and demising shook his hands off.

Everyone had been so focused on the lady who had just walked into the place that they had not seen the guardian who also walked in with her.

"No one touches me without my permission;"

She brushed past all of them and walked over to Ethan. His pain ridden body trying to comprehend everything that was happening as she bowed before him and chanted.

"Young master! I'm sorry I'm late!" She apologized with multiple bows.

Confusion cuts deep into Ethan like a knife.

"Young master?" Liege gathered his shattered pride together and let out a vicious laughter.

"You must have gotten the wrong person, princess. The only thing this man is mastering is debts and he is as good as dead already. Maybe the worthless stuff inside him might just be enough to repay his debts."

Eva frowned deeply. "You've done enough harm already. Now I would enjoy leaving the young man alone if you intend to leave!" The thunderous sound of the Lady's voice betrayed her calm and soothing looks. She was as fierce as an army general.

"Just as hot as you look. You will be perfect to warm my bed today. 

As for the little flea. He is dead already , sadly." He responded.

However, she was unmoved.

"You don't know who you are messing with." Eva's words came with her glare and a suppressing aura.

Leige grin faltered the anger in her voice was unmistakable and he didn't like the over-confidence.. He frowned deeply, the angry lines cutting through every inch of his face.

"Who do you think you are?" He growled.

"You would be dead already before you find out!" Eva replied with a flat dead tone.

Liege roared. That was the second threat he was receiving today and he didn't take threats lightly.

"Seems you need to be taught to dance!" He signaled to the men instantly, they all attacked the lady with a loud yell.

The bouncer stepped forward. He stared down at them like little children. Checking each of them in their steps and throwing them off in the room like little play toys.

Liege growled, seeing all his men rolling off in pain. 

"Pathetic pieces of crap. Don't think that I am done with you!" He brought his phone out of his pocket and placed a call.

Within the duration of seconds, motorbikes, cars stepped in, far beyond what Liehe thought.

A smug was strapped to his face.

"This is your last chance to beg for mercy on your knees. Licking my feet alongside might just have gone a long way to soften my heart a bit!"

However, he was ignored by the lady. Instead, her eyes were focused on the gray-haired man who had walked in together with the rest of the guards.

Liege's smugness broadened almost instantly. The owner of the Mafia companies, and they served under him. Seeing how well he did, he might just end up being promoted.

Mr. Gereald walked up to Leige would quickly braced himself for the welcome.

Rather, a slap resounded through the hall, shocking pale into Leige's face. "You bastard!" Gerald growled.

"I will make sure I make you pay for this!" He thundered.

Immediately, he ran off to the lady and knelt. "Miss Eva, please forgive me for my insolence. I didn't train him that way!" He pleaded.

Leige's face instantly shot up, Miss Eva? The hidden secretary to the most powerful family in the city. A family that controlled over half of the country's wealth.

It was like a sword had been thrust right through his chest and he almost passed out.

And instead of a leader, you brought us!" Another man gestured dismissively at Ethan."A who looks like he

    They groveled even harder. Some cried openly, others smashing their heads against the floor until their foreheads slit."Please, forgive us master Ethan!""We were blind. Foolish." The same man that they had spat moments ago held their lives dangling on his clenched fist Terror strangled their cries as they waited for their fate.Ethan shifted slightly. The Arena froze. Even the air felt heavy and no one dared to move."Mercy?" His voice rolled through the hall like thunder, sending cold shivers down the spine of the guards."Did you also spare me that when you dragged my name in the mud?" He repeated the words. Their throats locked with bitter regrets, no words came out."How many others have you trampled on just because you thought you could?"Ethan recalled all the humiliations that he had suffered from the Sinclairs, the daily pain, a whirlwind of emotions flashed through his eyes.Then, he schooled his looks back into neutrality."But I will not sink to your level.

    The oment the family meeting ended, Emma stormed up to Ethan. Her voice was cold and running with a whirlwind of emotions."I know you’re under pressure, but you don’t need to challenge anyone.""You’ve already endured so much for this family. If you want, we can live together. We don’t need them."Her hands gripped his arm trying to force him to Lady Theresa's room. "You know you won’t even be allowed past the company gates. Let’s just go to Grandmother, admit it was a mistake, and take back your words before this gets out of control.""I will not appreciate being called a widow at such a young age. Not when!" She paused suddenly.She tugged at him, but Ethan didn’t move. Instead, he placed his hands firmly on her shoulders.For a moment, he nearly laughed at the irony. His wife begged him not to embarrass himself before a company that already belonged to him. But he caught himself, masking the humor behind a calm, neutral expression.Emma still didn’t know. She couldn’t imagine that

    Afterwards, they signed all the required documents and went through all the required protocols.All his doubts washed away like rain. The reality crashing down on him like a heavy weight. It was still impossible to believe."That will be all for now," Eva said, adjusting the papers in her hand. "An investors’ meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow. It will give you the chance to meet the board, familiarize yourself with the investors, and address them properly for the first time. Afterwards, I will make the public announcement that the Tenet Group has a new owner."Ethan raised a hand. "There’s no need to make my name public, Miss Eva. And call me Ethan. I prefer that to the stiff ‘Young Master.’"Eva’s lips parted, but she quickly composed herself. "Okay, Young ma..." She caught herself, then inclined her head. "Okay… Master Ethan. I’ll follow your instructions. Your name will remain off the announcement."He nodded, relieved.He was still learning the ropes, she said Mr. Lawrence
