Chapter 131

Upon hearing Ethan's ultimatum, the man fell to his knees, his forehead touching the cold, hard floor, he wasn't expecting Ethan to go so softly on him.

"Thank you, Mr.Ethan,"

he said, his voice trembling with a mix of relief. His hands shook as he clasped them together again, with a gesture of submission.

"We have a deal. I'll do everything you ask, without question or hesitation."

At that moment his eyes glistened with unshed tears, the weight of his desperation palpable in the office.

At that moment Ethan just nodded, a sense of satisfaction washing over him.

He looked down at the man's prostrate form, with a small smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. "Good,"

he said, his voice cold and unforgiving.

"Remember, if you fail me, the consequences will be dire."

With a final glance, he turned and walked out of the company, his head held high and his steps full of confident.
