The man didn't look like he was in the mood for pleasantries. His jaw was already tight, his knuckles pale where his fingers were laced together."Mr. Wellington," Ethan started again, but the man cut him off with a raised hand."Let me stop you right there," Wellington said, his voice carrying a confidence that didn't quite mask the thin edge of anger underneath it. "I already know exactly what you're here to say."Ethan said nothing. He simply leaned back, patient, and let the man talk himself into whatever corner he was determined to paint himself into."Oh, really?" Ethan finally asked, not out of curiosity, but to keep the man moving."Yes." Wellington straightened further, as if bracing for a fight that hadn't started yet."You're going to tell me I sold myself cheap. That I didn't think critically about my alliances. That I'm making a costly mistake that's going to come back to bite me." He exhaled sharply through his nose. "I debunked every one of those arguments a long time a

"That's enough!" the man roared. "Time to taste my fists!""Mr. Ethan, look out—" Mirabel's voice cracked with alarm.The punch came fast, aimed straight at Ethan's jaw. Ethan simply stepped aside, unhurried, and the fist sailed through empty air. The man's own momentum sent him stumbling forward, nearly tripping down the short flight of steps behind him."What—" He caught himself against the railing, breathing hard, staring at Ethan like the laws of physics had personally betrayed him.Ethan, meanwhile, had already turned his attention to straightening his tie, as if the whole exchange had barely registered.The guard rounded on him a second time, faster now, thrown off by how easily his first swing had missed."So," Ethan said, glancing up from his tie with mild disinterest, "have you decided to let me in? Because standing there for what seemed to be an eternity gave me more than enough time to walk in, finish my business, and walk back out if I choose to."The vein on the man's for

Ethan stood outside, unmoved, staring up at the building in front of him.His hands stayed in his pockets as the SUV that had brought them idled in the car park behind him.From the building's tinted glass, he could see Mirabel and Williams stepping out and falling into step behind him.Mirabel moved up beside him. "This is Wellington Holdings, sir.""Tell me his name again," Ethan said. Not out of curiosity — his eyes were already locked on the building's freshly redone signage. Gold trim, a new logo stamped beneath the company's old name, and underneath it, in smaller lettering that clearly hadn't been there a month ago: A Ford Logistics Preferred Partner."Mark Wellington," Mirabel answered, flipping through her notebook. "He was one of our most promising prospective clients before Ford came in and pulled him away. From what I've gathered, he's fully committed to them now.""I can see that." Ethan's smile was dry and short-lived. The badge beneath the logo was answer enough — a gro

One of the men chuckled, exposing his brown teeth after hearing what the security personnel said, “Alright!" Without hesitation, he threw a punch at the security personnel who held him by the collar. The punch carried so much weight that if it landed on the man, he might lose a tooth, but the punch never landed. The man's clenched fingers were caught in the air. He looked at his fist, then at the man who held it with wide eyes. He gnashed his teeth and threw his right leg for a kick. The thug in a security uniform let go of the man's fist and shifted backwards swiftly to dodge his attack. The man smiled triumphantly as he had already won the fight because the thug only dodged and didn't launch any attack. His victory smile didn't last long as the thug served the man a punch that he didn't see coming and couldn't avoid. He staggered back before steadying himself. “How dare you?!" He roared and charged at the thug. While this was going on, two other thugs in security uniforms face

The conversation was still ongoing when a truck drove into the company, requesting to carry the packages. Jack rushed over, dressed in his security uniform, and whispered to Ethan about the situation.Ethan's face was pitch black. He walked out of the building to see the driver standing by the side of the truck, waiting for the package. On his shirt was the logo of Ford Logistics. The moment the driver saw Ethan, his lips stretched to the side. He walked over with a taunting smile on his lips. “You guys really think you got yourself a deal? What a joke." He chuckled, “As long as Ford is around the corner, Delta Logistics is bound to fail completely. Delta Logistics has nothing more to live for; just wrap up already." Sammy, William, and Jack, who stood beside Ethan, frowned. Their fingers clenched tightly. “Delta Logistics has some policies." Ethan began, “These packages are already in our possession. Is the owner sure he wants to change companies?" Ethan spoke calmly, not mindin

One week passed like a blur.Delta Logistics hasn't been able to get even a single client. Ethan was getting frustrated because it was as if the other logistics company knew exactly what they were doing, completely blocking all ways for Delta Logistics to reach their former clients. Now, he was slowly understanding what Vanessa had been going through with Glorious Corp. That night, she had called his phone and given him a sound warning. He didn't have the strength to argue back, thinking of a way to resolve the Delta Logistics issue. Ding!{The host has twenty-three days left to complete the mission.}Ethan gnashed his teeth in irritation. Since the beginning of this mission, the system seems to be very interested in giving him a heart attack by reminding him of how many days he has left. “I know. I can count!" He spat out. “Why don't you make yourself useful by giving me a way out." Although he had worked at Tender Render before, he was never given an opportunity to head a depart
