MTLNOVEL 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.
"One down, many more to go, he should count himself lucky he wasn't telling lies"
Ethan decided to go to his dormitory.
He entered a taxi and life and not long after he arrived.
As he made his way back to his dormitory, Ethan's thoughts were consumed with the upcoming weekend.
He had to prepare, to make sure everything was perfect for the moment when his coursemate would see his new home, and realize just how wrong they had been about him.
"They'll see,"
he muttered under his breath, his fists clenching at his sides.
"They'll all see what I'm truly capable of doing, and I can't wait to see the look on their faces."

Meanwhile, inside the police station, Noah emerged from the holding cell, his face was deadly as the officers had released him, but his crew remained behind bars, facing the consequences of their actions.
As he walked past their cells, they screamed his name, their voices filled with desperation and anger.
"Noah!"
They shouted, their hands gripping the bars so tightly that made their knuckles started turning white.
Their faces were contorted with rage and fear, their eyes wild with panic seeing Noah leaving and they are still being held up.
"You can't leave us here! We got in here because of you, man!. You gotta get us out!"
Their pleas echoed off the concrete walls, but Noah paid them no attention.
He had his own problems to deal with, and they were nothing more than collateral damage to him.
The police officers escorted Noah out of the station, their expressions grim and unforgiving.
They knew he was the mastermind behind everything, but they had no choice but to release him.
His family's influence ran deep, and they couldn't risk the consequences of crossing them.
"Spoiled rich brat,"
one of the officers muttered under his breath, his eyes narrowing with disdain.
"He Thinks he can get away with anything, and allow the others to suffer for his wrong doing."
As Noah stepped out into the bright sunlight, his face remained impassive, but inside, he was boiling with rage.
The humiliation of being locked up, and by not just anyone but Ethan, made him so angry to the point his lips started shaking.
"That little rat,"
he muttered under his breath, his fists clenching at his sides. His mind started racing with thoughts of revenge, of making Ethan pay for his insolence.
"I'll make him regret the day he ever crossed me, it's a promise."
At that moment Noah father's security guards flanked him on either side.
They guided him to the waiting car, their eyes scanning the surroundings for any potential threats.
"Young master,"
One of the guards said, his voice low and deferential.
"Your father is waiting for you at the mansion."
Noah didn't say anything, he just entered the car.
Not long after they arrived at the Noah family mansion, Noah's father was waiting for him inside the house flanked by a group of stern-faced elders of the Noah family.
The atmosphere was tense, and Noah could feel the weight of their disapproval bearing down on him.
Without wasting any more time he walked closer to his father who just stood up.
"Father,"
He said, his jaw clenching with anger.
"That bastard Ethan must be punished for what he did to me. I want him to suffer, to know the true power of the Noah family."
Immediately his father's eyes flashed with anger. And in a swift motion, he raised his hand and delivered two sharp slaps across Noah's face.
"Smack!!"
"Smack!!"
The sound echoing across the living room.
And the impact made Noah stumbled back, his cheek stinging from the impact.
He raised a hand to his face, his eyes wide with shock.
"You foolish boy,"
his father growled, his voice low and menacing.
He stepped forward, his towering frame looming over Noah.
"You've disgraced our family with your reckless actions. Associating with commoners, getting yourself arrested. Have you no shame?"
His words cut through the air like a knife, each syllable dripping with disappointments.
" Get him out of my sight, and make sure he doesn't leave his room until I say so"
His father ordered the guards.
At that moment Noah's face burned with humiliation and rage as the guards led him away.
He couldn't believe his own father had struck him, and had treated him like a disobedient child when he was supposed to make such a bastard disappear.
"I'll show them,"
he muttered under his breath, his eyes narrowing and his mind raced with thoughts of revenge.
Once inside his room, Noah collapsed onto the sofa, his mind racing with thoughts of revenge.
He wouldn't let Ethan get away with this, wouldn't let him think he had won.
As the security guards turned to guard the door, Noah called out to them, his voice sharp and commanding.
"Wait," Enjoy new tales from empire
he said, his eyes glinting with a dangerous light.
He sat up straight, his posture regal and demanding.
"I need you to call Giovanni and Raymond. Now."
immediately the guards exchanged a glance, their expressions wary. They knew Giovanni and Raymond, knew the kind of work they do for the Noah family.
With a curt nod, one of the guards left the room, his footsteps echoing down the hallway.
"They'll take care of this,"
Noah thought to himself, with a cruel smile playing on his lips.
"Ethan won't know what hit him."
After some minutes, Giovanni and Raymond entered the room, their faces hard and unreadable.
They knelt before Noah, their heads bowed in a show of respect and loyalty.
"Young master,"
They said in unison, their voices low and gravelly.
"How may we serve you?"
immediately Noah stood up, his posture regal and commanding. He looked down at the two men, his eyes filled with a cold and calculating gaze.
"Someone has disgraced your young master"
he said, his voice cold and vengeful. He began to pace around the room, his steps slow and deliberate. "Someone has dared to shit on my face, to humiliate me in front of the world."
Giovanni and Raymond remained silent, their eyes fixed on the floor. They knew the gravity of the situation.
At that moment Noah stopped pacing around, his eyes locking onto the two men.
"That person doesn't deserve to see the sunset."
