Chapter 243
Without being told they could tell Ethan was just acting.
The FL scoffed, crossing her arms as she leaned against the doorway. "You're delusional if you think you have that kind of power. The company doesn't revolve around you, Ethan. Know your place."
However Ethan didn't react to their taunts. He simply stood there, calm and composed, as though their words hadn't touched him at all. His silence only seemed to irritate them more, their laughter growing louder and more derisive.
But Ethan's calm gaze didn't waver, his silence speaking louder than their mockery ever could.
The master's laughter grew louder, almost manic, as he leaned forward, his face inches away from Ethan's. "Who do you think you are? Some hero with a savior complex? You're just a cog in the machine. You don't have the authority to breathe, let alone make decisions like that."
Ethan remained calm, his voice steady as he replied, "I can do all of this because I'm the owner."
The room fell silent for a moment before the FL and the master erupted into laughter again, their voices dripping with disbelief.@@@@
"The owner? You? That's rich,"
the FL sneered, wiping a fake tear from her eye.
"Do you even hear yourself?"
Before Ethan could respond, the master's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, his smile faltering slightly before he answered it. The laughter in his voice quickly faded as he listened to the person on the other end.
"What?" His voice was shaky now, the confidence draining from his face. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
"Removed? That's impossible!"
Seeing the reaction in his face the room was silent as the call continued, the master's face growing paler by the second. Finally, he ended the call, his trembling hand barely able to hold the phone.
At that moment he turned to Ethan, disbelief and fury warring on his face.
"Our sponsorship deal... has been terminated. And the breach of contract penalty... it's being sent to us immediately."
Ethan's calm gaze locked with the master, his steady presence a stark contrast to the chaos that had just erupted.
"Do you have any idea who we are? What we can do? You've made your last mistake, boy."
However Ethan remained calm, his hands loosely clasped behind his back, his gaze unwavering.
"It seems you still haven't learned anything," he said, his tone cold yet controlled.
"The higher you climb, the harder the fall, you gave to remember that."
The master sneered.
"Spare me your cheap philosophy. Now pick up that phone call your so-called connections. Beg for mercy. Because unless you sign a new contract reinstating us, you and your family will never see the light of day again."
Ethan didn't flinch as the security team began to close in. He glanced at the armed men, then turned his attention back to the master. "Is this really the best you've got?" Ethan asked, his voice low and steady.
Before the master could respond, the sound of heavy boots echoed from the hallway.
A group of men dressed in black suits entered the room, their movements precise and deliberate. They were heavily armed, their presence exuding an air of authority and danger that silenced everyone.
At that moment the master's smirk faltered as he turned to his chief security officer.
"Who are they?!" he demanded, his voice cracking.
Ethan stepped forward, his expression unbothered.
"I was wondering when my team would arrive," he said casually.
"I guess it's your turn to feel cornered."
Upon hearing what Ethan just said.
The master's face paled, and he took a hesitant step back. The lead operative of Ethan's team stepped forward, addressing Ethan directly. "Boss, what are your orders?"
The room grow even more silent, the air thick with tension. Ethan's eyes locked onto the master's, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Let's see how bold they really are," he said, his voice echoing in the stunned silence.
