Chapter 40.

Hannah's expression changed immediately. She slowly withdrew her hand from Gerald's and looked at Tina in disbelief. "Chill. What the heck are you talking about? I'm just having a conversation with him, okay? That's all."

Tina scoffed and stepped closer. "Then why would you be taking him to a hotel? I already divorced him, and now you're suddenly meeting him alone and offering him a place to stay? You two were seeing each other behind my back, weren't you? That's why you always too

    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,

    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

    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

    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

    {Mission reloading, 25%, 45%, 65%, 75%, 100%. New mission unlocked: Feed the Nation. Reward: 50 trillion.} "What!" he screams. {Every single necessary person.} "Who are necessary people?" {Everyone that needs it.} "Oh, but how will I do that? How? How?" he wonders aloud in his room. Then he calls Sandra, his new secretary, his new interest. "Hello, I've got a new mission for you, the system's new mission," he says. "What's that, and Mr. Davis is greeting you". "My regards to him. The mission is to feed the nation." "What!" she exclaims so loudly that he shifts the phone away from his ear. "What did he say?" Mr. Davis asks from the background. "How is that possible!" he yells. "And if it is possible, you know it will damage the economy," Sandra asks. "I know, but I have to do it. It seems impossible but somehow possible. I want you to calculate the nation's population, then calculate how much will each person collect if 10 trillion is to be shared," he requests. "See, yo

    "Thank you for your kind words, enjoy your breakfast," Ethan replies, about to leave but halted by Mr. Desmond's request to stay."Water," Max orders, though it's right in front of him; Ethan hands it to him."I'm meeting the mighty-E today," Mr. Desmond announces, stunning everyone.Ethan smirks confidently."How can you be so sure? No one's ever seen him," Ariana questions."I'm going to the company and offer him something he can't refuse," Mr. Desmond states."That's my dad," Nick proudly chimes in."What can you offer someone who seemingly has it all?" Sandra wonders aloud."People like that have it all, but they always want more," Mr. Desmond explains."Ethan, go wash the car," he commands, and Ethan hurriedly obeys before making a phone call."Sir.""The CEO of Gordon Group plans to visit the company, reject any offer he requests.""Understood, sir," Mr. Jayden replies before the call ends.Mr. Jayden, the personal assistant to the mysterious Mighty-E, takes care of company matt
