Chapter 165
As the auction concludes and guests begin to depart, Lord Chua, a tall Chinese man with a sharply defined face, maintains an intense gaze on Ethan. Sandra breaks the silence, asking, "What will we do now?". The others have already left, with Ethan promising to contact them later. He decides to take action, saying, "I will go meet him." Approaching Lord Chua, Ethan extends his hand for a handshake, acknowledging, "Hello, Lord Chua. I know you understand English well. Congratulations." Lord Chua's bodyguards are ready to intervene, but he motions for them to stand down, aware of the onlookers. When he takes Ethan's hand, he unexpectedly squeezes it firmly, causing Ethan to grimace quietly. Leaning in closer to Ethan's ear, he whispers ominously, "I am going to kill you for that," before releasing his grip and heading to his car. Ethan moves swiftly, stopping the closing windshield and making an unexpected offer. "I will buy the girl from you for one trillion." The driver, the b

Ethan's heavy eyelids reluctantly open, a dull ringing in his head. His surroundings slowly come into focus as he blinks away the blur. He finds himself bound to a steel chair, his hands securely tied behind his back. Sandra and the bar-lady are similarly restrained nearby. "You're awake. Your little plan isn't quite working out this time," Sandra remarks, disappointment etched on her face. Ethan nods, realizing that his strategy is failing miserably. They're in an unfamiliar place, far from help. As the three captors come into view, one of them brandishes a phone, gesturing for the bar-lady to translate. She relays their message, "They're asking for the phone's password. They say they'll let us go if you give it to them." Ethan scoffs, knowing that revealing the password isn't an option. They converse again, and the translator relays, "They're giving us a chance before the guns arrive." Ethan, defiant, responds firmly, "Tell them to go to hell." The woman gazes at him incre

Ethan sits back in startled disbelief. "Master?" he wonders. Money certainly has the power to change situations dramatically. He decides, "I'm going to add more for you if you put away all the guns and return the people's belongings." "We will do that, Master!" they eagerly agree. They immediately return the stolen items to the passengers, who are bewildered by the man dressed in rags with such influence. Ethan continues, "I'll make another transfer to you, but... I'm sorry, I can't be your master." They drop back to their knees, pleading, "Please, we'll serve you." The leader speaks up, revealing their desperate circumstances, "It's not that we're doing this because we want to. We have to survive. We're just a group of thugs with no leader and nowhere to sleep. You see that gun? We borrowed it." "Oh, I understand. Get up," Ethan says, and they rise to their feet. "I can't be your master, but you can work for me from time to time. Give me your contact information," he offers,
Chapter 162
As the old saying goes, "1...2...". Ethan finds himself on his knees, desperation in his voice, "Please, I'm just curious. I see them carrying something out of a van," he explains anxiously. The old man can't help but laugh. "And you want me to believe that? You're here as a driver, yet you won't stay in your place," he scoffs. "Anyway, you've seen what you shouldn't have, and for that, you'll have to pay with your life," he declares, signaling to the armed man to proceed with the grim task. But Ethan pleads earnestly, "Please, I'll do anything. Anything you want." His sincerity is evident. The old man leans forward, a wicked grin on his face. "You'll do anything?" he inquires, raising an eyebrow. Ethan nods vigorously, desperation in his eyes. "Yes, yes, I will," he affirms. The old man exchanges whispers with the person beside him, their eyes locked in a sinister understanding. "Alright, I'll give you a chance," he relents. Ethan sniffs in relief, "Thank you. I'll do an
Chapter 161
The loud banging on the door jolts Ethan awake, and his bleary eyes land on the clock – already past nine. He knows he's in for some scolding as he opens the door, and there stands Ariana. "Hope nothing's wrong; you woke up late," she says, her eyes filled with concern. "I'm okay, just tired," Ethan replies, and Ariana nods. She turns to leave but abruptly halts, casting an assessing glance up and down Ethan before turning back, leaving him puzzled. Realizing he is late, Ethan rushes to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. "What! Where is Ethan?" Mrs. Desmond's voice echoes through the house, reaching the kitchen. The impending facepalm moment has arrived. He hurriedly approaches her. "I'm sorry, I woke up late," he mumbles, bowing his head. Then, Mr. Desmond enters, and his wife envelops him in a hug. "Where were you all night?" she asks while helping him with his suit. "Just had an urgent and serious meeting," he replies, moving further into the room. "Good morning, sir," Et
Chapter 160
Ethan wakes up earlier than usual. He quietly tends to the house and prepares breakfast. He glances at the clock and realizes he has an hour before the others will awaken. As he plates the food, he can't help but enjoy this clandestine role. He observes people's true selves by pretending to be nothing more than a humble servant. He hums a tune while setting the table. Contemplating what it would be like if he reveals his true identity as the mighty-E from the very beginning. They might beg for forgiveness, claiming they don't mean any harm, while they are wolves in sheep's clothing. Just as he is lost in thought, he hears hurried footsteps descending the stairs. Startled, he turns to see Mr. Desmond. "Good morning," Ethan greets with a bow. "Keep it," Mr. Desmond replies curtly, snatching the remote control and turning on the TV. The screen displays a news headline that reads, "Generous Benefactor anonymous mighty-E Gifts $30,000 to Every Citizen, Inspiring Unity and Hope
