Soldier

The Formidable System: Alex Cole secret heir. SYNOPSIS Ethan Cole, once a nobody ridiculed by his fiancée Lily, discovers through a mysterious System that he is in fact the secret heir of Alexander Cole, CEO of the global tech empire Cole Consortium. Humiliated publicly at a banquet and abandoned by those he thought loved him, Ethan becomes determined to rise above his broken past. The System begins training him in discipline, self-worth, and confidence, first through physical conditioning with Grayson, an old-school boxing coach, and later in the penthouse gym under Jonathan’s guidance. This training doesn’t turn Ethan into a soldier but prepares him mentally and physically to stand tall as the man destined to inherit an empire. Meanwhile, shadows move in the background. Ethan is stalked by men loyal to Wilson Flake, CEO of rival tech giant Orbitway and longtime enemy of Alexander Cole. Unknown to Ethan at first, Wilson is also Daniel’s father — Daniel being Lily’s new fiancé. Wilson, who has long tried and failed to take over Cole Consortium, sees Ethan’s sudden rise as a new threat. As Ethan grows in confidence, he begins making waves in the industry. Deals once meant for Orbitway are redirected to Cole Consortium, with whispers that Ethan’s involvement is the reason. Wilson, furious, summons Daniel and begins plotting ways to assess Ethan’s intelligence personally. During a lavish dinner party organized by Daniel under Wilson’s orders, Ethan attends — warned by Jonathan to be careful. There, he runs into Lisa Roman, his ex-girlfriend from school who is now a successful fashion CEO. Old flames reignite, much to Lily’s shock. Lily mocks Ethan at first, only to be devastated when she discovers he is Alexander Cole’s heir.
