No, not in this lifetime, Ethan whispered to himself. He couldn’t bear the consequences of her leaving
him. If he lost her, everything in his life would lose its meaning. “Josephine, I miss you,” Ethan
murmured softly to the woman on the screen.
At this moment, someone was lurking in a cave outside the communication range of the base. They
had come here with only one purpose-to kill Ethan.
“President Presgrave has instructed us to deliver results within a week. We must find an opportunity to
carry out our mission.”
“As long as we complete this task, each one of us will receive 150 thousand. We must stay focused for
the sake of the money.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen they heard about the money, they felt a burst of energy wash over them as killing intent filled
their eyes. Some photos were displayed on the adjacent wall, and at the forefront was their target,
Ethan..
Underneath Ethan’s photo was a list of international engineers. There were too many people in this
world whol would rather gamble their life away in pursuit of their own interests.
Ethan was just about to go to sleep when he heard a knock on his door. The identification system next
to him showed that it was King, the chief engineer of his base. He opened the door and asked, “What’s
the matter?”
“Mr. Quarles, our system detected a faint signal, but it’s definitely not from our company. I suspect
someone is approaching our base.”
“Can you pinpoint their exact location?” Ethan asked, his brows furrowed. This wasn’t the first time
something like this had happened. On top of him facing two assassination attempts here, he had also
gone through similar events throughout his life. He was adept at dealing with such situations.
“Not yet, but they should be hiding in a cave. We will monitor the situation carefully. Please be careful
in your future travels, Mr. Quarles.”
“I understand. Keep a close eye on this,” Ethan instructed. “I will inform you immediately if there are
any developments. Goodnight, Mr. Quarles,” King uttered and left.
Ethan went back to his bed after that. Great interests always came with dangers, and his family had
had to deal with pirates and negotiation tasks with various countries over the years. He had even taken
life with his own hands in the process. Now that the company was under his control, he was well aware

The next afternoon, Ethan was in a meeting with several high-level executives when an employee
rushed in. “There’s been an avalanche, and more than a dozen employees are trapped underneath.
They are in urgent need of rescue!”
At that, Ethan commanded in a solemn voice, “Immediately halt all ongoing projects and initiate the
rescue operation.”
He stood up after giving the order, but King immediately stopped him. “Mr. Quarles, it’s not advisable
for you to go.”
“It’s a matter of life and death for our employees. I have to go,” Ethan replied. As the boss, he couldn’t
shirk any responsibilities while being present.
