"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!”

    Meanwhile, at the Martell Mansion, Brandon woke up early to turn off his alarm clock before it could start buzzing in the room.He had his bath and was soon ready to head out when he heard a knock on his door."Come in," he said, adjusting his watch on his wrist. The old man, his late father's advisor, walked into the room. Bran turned to gaze at him. Seeing the look on his face, he could tell that all was not well. "What's wrong?" He asked nonchalantly."Cersei is no longer in our custody, and your agent is dead." The old man informed. Bran seemed unbothered by the news."When did this happen?" Bran inquired, picking up the brush from his table—he brushed his hair backward."It happened yesterday before dusk.""Why am I just hearing it?" Bran asked. He would have very much liked it if it happened today."The other man you hired fled the second he saw Ethan. Just Martha remained; she didn't have any access to a phone, so he got here really late last night and had no one to open for h

    "Why is he helping Ethan?" She inquired, confused whether she should be happy or not."I don't know. He's not a loyal lad." Daniel responded before walking towards the corner of the room.He brought out a rope and gag."What are you doing? If Ethan gets here and finds me in ropes, believe me when I tell you that you might not live to see another minute," she warned, but Ethan was not concerned."Why do you think we had Henry do the job? Why do you think we let Henry know the room you were taken to? When do we have other trustworthy men in our reach?" Daniel asked."It would all be suspicious if we didn't play our role well, so we didn't let Henry know of the plan. We didn't let him know that he was part of the plan." Daniel added, causing Cersei to arch her brows, asking,"What plan?""To distract Ethan." He responded, pushing her to the bed,"Why?" She asked, trying to push him away."You better coordinate yourself if you don't want me to knock you out." He threatened, but Cersei did

    Cersei was sure that whoeverDaniel's master was, he wouldn't have the guts to put her in a cage."What did these women do to him?" She asked,"I don't know. Probably if you get to speak with him. You could waste the minutes asking what the women did to him," Daniel said before gesturing that it was time for them to leave the room."Will I get to speak with him? When will that be? Today?" She inquired."You ask too many questions for your reputation," Daniel said."I asked too many questions to be able to have that reputation effortlessly." She responded, gazing directly into his eyes."None of that would matter here." Dabile said, leading her back into her room.Meanwhile, outside the building, Ethan moved with Henry through the back. "Careful there, if you're not careful, believe me... You would be caught." Henry warned.Ethan threw a glare at him and said, "Next time anyone gives you an order that is against the name Ethan Ford, come to me and I'll give you double of what they offer

    "Wait... Wait... She's at Venx." He informed, causing Ethan to arch his brows. "Are you trying to fool me?. Venx's daycare is just two blocks away," Ethan informed, causing Henry to shake his head, trying to speak."The antidote. Please, I beg you. Give me the antidote, and I swear to you on this hour that I'll tell you all you need to know." He said, causing Ethan to smirk, asking,"And you think I'd believe a word that comes out from a criminal's lips." Ethan asked.Henry eyes turned pale, the poison was taking over his body,"Please, I swear." He said.Ethan gave him the antidote, and Henry drank it like his life depended on it—in truth, his life did depend on it.A few seconds after Henry took the antidote, he was relieved."Now, open your lips and start talking!" Ethan ordered.Henry nodded, he tried sitting up before saying,"I'm not talking about Venx here in this city. I'm talking about Venx in old town.""That building is under construction." Ethan cut in."For how long? How

    Ethan got to his car. On his way to Rings Hotel, he stopped by a pun shop. He had known the man who owned it for half a decade."Ethan Ford, I haven't seen for a long time now." The old man said."I'm here for a ring, the pointy one." He informed them, causing the old man to immediately walk to the door and change the board that read "Open" to "Closed."He brought down all the window blinds before shifting his gaze back to Ethan, asking, "You know what it'll cost you?""I do. I have the money." Ethan responded, causing the old man to nod before walking back to the counter. He made his way to a hidden door in the shop that was covered with books and was soon out with a box."Here... and this is the antidote." He responded, causing Ethan to nod.After paying the old man, he left the shop, and this time he headed straight to Rings Hotel without making any other stops.On getting there, he marched up the stairs and through the hallway until he stood in front of room 136.He paused for a s

    Ethan was still confused; none of the words Darwin said were easy to fathom.Deep down he thought it would have been easier if Catelyn was the culprit. "It was absurd to think that it was me in the first place. You don't trust me, do you?" She inquired.Ethan glared at her, sending shivers down her spine. She immediately stopped talking, realizing now was not the time to start blabbing.Ethan reached for the chair next to him, bit his lip, and asked, "A warehouse, right? What did you take her there for?" "I wanted us to chat...""What kind of bloody chat is that?" He inquired.Knowing that asking Catelyn questions won't solve anything, he rose to his feet and walked out of the room with his room.As he got to his car, he received a text from Darwin—it was Darwin's account number.Ethan wired the bargained price to him and drove towards the warehouse. He knew no police officer could handle this case the way he wanted. "I need to contact an agent!" He said as he drove towards the ware
