"Take a look at the badge again; this is a giant dragon and not a bear!" Eric said, causing the security guard to take the invite again, taking one last look.

"“No wonder I always felt something was off! So that's what it is! You're right!" he said in a rage.

This mistake could make him lose his job; thinking of the possibility of that, he was immediately enraged.

"You came here, thinking that you could deceive your way in?" he asked.

"I'm not surprised that you could stoop so low, Ethan. You must have planned this with Roseanna, but do you actually know what's funny?" She paused, turning to Eric before shifting her gaze back to them.

"It's funny how it almost worked if not for Eric," she added.

"You should be grateful for the kind of senior manager that you have because trust me, if any other official had found out, you would have lost your job," Dana said.

"You're dressed in a fine suit, but your attitude downgrades your personality." The security guard commented, feeling disgusted.

"Anyway. I didn't forget our bet. I'm looking forward to seeing the both of you on your knees," Dana said, smiling mischievously.

"But there's one more thing! I can save the both of you from the shame and embarrassment by letting you guys in, but Ethan has to do something for me first,"

Roseanna scoffed, gazing at her, "And what is that?"

"Ethan will have to beg me. Apologize to me for what happened yesterday, and I want him to do it on his knees. I want to see that you regret bringing the papers for me to sign in the first place," she said, but Ethan rolled his eyes and shifted his gaze to the security man, the person who he actually has to explain to.

"Look here, I'm sure you're misunderstanding...."

"What's going on here?" The security captain walked in; he had been noticing the arguments going on for minutes, and he needed to come see it for himself.

"Sir, this invite card was forged. The man and his lady tried to fool me; how desperate can one be?" he added.

The security captain took the invitation and turned pale with shock.

“This… This is…!”

“Captain! Isn’t their forgery extremely poor?” A security guard laughed. “They even got the emblem wrong, mistaking a dragon for a bear…”

“Shut up!” The security captain angrily raised his hand and slapped the guard.

“Captain! What… What are you doing?!” The security guard panicked, trembling all over as he asked in fear.

“Have you never read the security manual? The company issued three types of invitations today. The Silver Bear is just the most basic one! The highest-level invitation is marked with a dragon, which means they hold the company’s Supreme Card!”

The security captain was about to lose his mind.

Holders of Secret Company’s Supreme Card had a status equivalent to board members!

Even if they didn’t own shares, they still possessed various privileges—far beyond what low-ranking security guards like them could afford to offend!

“Su… Supreme Card? The highest-level invitation?” The security guard was dumbfounded, and even Dana and Eric couldn’t believe it.

“That’s impossible!” Dana lost control and screamed at the security captain. “You must be mistaken! How could these two losers be Supreme Card holders of Secret Company? They’re just garbage!”

Eric also growled in anger. “You’re the security captain—you should know that Supreme Card holders are of the highest status. How could these two pieces of trash have one?”

The security captain frowned, his face turning serious. He respectfully bowed to Ethan and asked, “Excuse me, sir, may I verify your Supreme Card?”

“Hah! I guarantee he doesn’t have a Supreme Card! That invitation is obviously fake!” Dana screamed hysterically.

“When his lie is exposed, Secret Company won’t let them go! You have no idea how powerful the company is. You’ll end up as beggars, roaming the streets for the rest of your lives!” Eric added.

Surrounded by skeptical gazes, Ethan chuckled.

“A Supreme Card, huh? Turns out, I do have one.”

Ethan pulled out his wallet, which contained numerous different cards. Casually flipping through them, he took out an exquisitely crafted black card and tossed it to the security captain.

“Go ahead, check it thoroughly so these idiots won’t keep whining.” Ethan said nonchalantly.

“Ethan… I… I’m a little nervous!” Rosanna’s voice trembled. Everything happening now was far beyond her expectations and control.

“Relax,” Ethan said gently. His calm voice somehow reassured Rosanna, making her feel at ease.

The security captain took the Supreme Card and pulled out a scanning device, swiping the card lightly.

Everyone anxiously awaited the result.

Beep… Supreme Card, Number 0001. Security Clearance: Highest. Holder’s information: Unavailable. Welcome, esteemed Supreme Guest, to Secret Company!

The entire room fell into silence.

“What does that mean?” Dana frowned. “What do you mean, ‘information unavailable’?”

The security captain trembled. He respectfully returned the card to Ethan, nearly kneeling on the spot.

“S… Sorry! Esteemed Supreme Guest, please forgive our negligence. You and your companion may enter.”

“Wait! How does ‘information unavailable’ prove that his Supreme Card is real? Are you covering for him?!” Dana shrieked.

“Enough! This is Supreme Card No. 0001—the most prestigious of all Supreme Cards! We don’t even have the clearance to access the cardholder’s identity!” the security captain roared.

He hated Dana to the core. If not for her, how could he have offended the holder of Supreme Card No. 0001?!

“This… This can’t be real…” Dana murmured in disbelief, her eyes lifeless.

“Alright, no need to be too scared. It’s your duty to carefully check everyone’s credentials,” Ethan said calmly.

The security captain was so overwhelmed with emotion that he nearly cried—Ethan wasn’t blaming him! “Thank you! Thank you for your generosity!”

However, Ethan then casually remarked, “But… what should be done about those who offended a Supreme Guest?”

His gaze landed on Dana and Eric, filled with meaning.

The security captain immediately understood. He straightened up and firmly declared, “Rest assured, esteemed Supreme Guest. These two will absolutely not be allowed into the banquet tonight!”

Ethan chuckled, patted the captain’s shoulder, and walked into the banquet with Rosanna.

“Wait!” Dana shrieked and tried to rush forward for an explanation.

But—

She slammed into someone hard. Looking up, she saw the security captain’s cold, resentful face.

“The Supreme Guest has spoken,” he said icily. “You—and that man over there—aren’t stepping foot inside tonight!”

    "I can't send any of them. It has to be you because I believe you have the connections that I need," Ethan said, causing him to respond with a gentle nod. "I'll have to discuss it with my wife first, and I'll get back to you regarding the matter," Xavier said before checking his time. "Is that all?" He asked, and Ethan just responded with a nod. After Xavier left the place, Ethan drank a glass of water and pushed his chair back before getting on his feet. He left Castle Black and headed straight to Lilian's mansion. Unfortunately, he was already running late. After about 20 minutes, Ethan arrived at Lilian's penthouse. He parked his car outside and elegantly got out of his car before slowly heading in the direction of the front door. Before he got there, Lilian opened the door, as if already being aware of his arrival. "Welcome, sir. Mr. Guardo is here," she informed, causing Ethan to respond with a gentle nod. "Where is he?" Ethan asked, taking a few steps into the house. "

    As soon as Ethan walked out of Lilian's office, his eyes met with Belinda.She kept a straight face and soon looked away before Ethan continued his walk to the elevator.For some reason, he had a weird feeling about her. Ethan left the building and drove straight to the Castle Black pub for a meeting.He had so many things to address and he needed to address them discreetly.On getting there, he was led into the VIP session. There, his Xavier wad already waiting for him with his legs crossed,"You're late." Xavier said as Ethan took a seat,"Can we begin the meeting, I have important places to be," He informed causing Xavier to seat up."You called for the meeting, so I believe I should be the one waiting for you to tell me why." Xavier said.His white hair was shining brightly in the dim light of the VIP room."I need you to do something," Ethan said sternly."I reckoned that for you to call me. You must be needing something," Xavier said with his palms together. He seemed so relaxe

    Lilian sat up and waited for Belinda to walk into the office with the files she requested for. After Belinda placed the file on the table, she asked sternly, "Do you need a coffee ma'am.""No, I don't. Thank you." Lilian said, dismissing her. As soon as she was outside the room, Ethan asked again,"What do you know about her and for how long has she been working as your assistant?" "Her name is Belinda Jensen and she's from a wealthy family. She's the second daughter of Mr. Jensen and she's been working here for 3 months," Lilian informed causing Ethan to furrow his brows but before he could mutter a single word, Lilian continued,"She studied at Harvard, got her masters in business there as well so you're questioning if she's put for the job. Believe me, she's very capable. I love hoe everything is orginazed here with her," she paused."Honestly sir. I'd say you need someone like her with you in the office but currently, I have no replacement for her and I don't think you're in need

    On getting to Dana's previous company that was now owned by Ethan and renamed "Co Secret Company."Ethan drove into the parking lot and got down from the car. He marched into the building, and the once noisy hall instantly fell silent. Ethan strolled directly to the private elevator, but unfortunately it wasn't working.With a frown on his face, he turned to the receptionist in the hall and asked, "What's the problem with this elevator?""Em... Sir, it's not working at the moment, but we've called in someone to check what the problem is," she responded, causing Ethan to narrow his eyes before strolling towards the regular elevator.He got in and ran his hand through his hair; 4 other staff joined him in the elevator before the elevator stopped at the second floor and just one person got down.Ethan tried to stay calm because he hated being in elevators where they had to stop and carry people or probably stop people.He turned to the numbers and realized they were yet to get to the 4t

    Meanwhile, the next day, Ethan left his room already dressed for a meeting.He got to the sitting room and caught sight of Cersei with a stack of papers."Where are you going this early?" Cersei asked, causing Ethan to furrow his brows, confused."Since when did you start asking so many questions?" He asked.Cerseu just rolled her eyes and leaned closer to him. "I think now is the time you need to be even more vigilant. I want us to get what we want, and you know how serious we need to get about that because all of what happened yesterday shouldn't be for nothing." She said,Ethan didn't bother to respond; he had a lot to do and wanted to start off as soon as possible.He got to his car and drove straight to Secret Company. For, like, 3 days, he hadn't been to the company.He got inside, and the first floor was almost empty because it was still very early.He got into the elevator, and it took him straight to the top floor. Ethan walked straight to his office; the desk his assistant o
