Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations

As Ethan slowly regained consciousness, his head throbbed with a dull ache trying to understand what happened to him. At that moment his eyes fluttered open, struggling to adjust to the dim light.

The first thing he noticed was the musty smell of old wood and dust, filling his nostrils and making him want to sneeze.

At that moment he tried to move, but his body felt heavy and sluggish.

It took him a moment to realize that he was sitting in a chair, his arms and legs bound tightly with rough ropes that chafed against his skin.

Ethan couldn't help but blinked a few times, his vision gradually coming into focus.

Then he discovered he was in a large, empty space with high ceilings and bare walls. It looked like an abandoned warehouse of some sort.

As he gazed around, a sense of unease crept over him.

He wasn't alone.

Surrounding him in a loose circle were more than a dozen figures, their faces weren't hidden.

it was as if they wanted him to see them.

Ethan squinted, trying to make sense of their face and where he had seen them before.

Then, with a jolt of recognition, he realized who they were.

Noah thugs from school, the same ones who had been tormenting some of the other students for months.

Ethan's jaw tightened at that moment knowing it was Noah doing, he couldn't believe the bastard would come this low to kidnap him.

"Well, well, well, look who finally decided to wake up."

one of them sneered, stepping closer.

"If it isn't little Ethan, the charity case, who thinks he has a word of his own now."

"More like Ethan the loser." another chimed in, making the others gaze at Ethan with disgusting eyes but they all started laughing at Ethan, some of them thought it would be so difficult to get him, not knowing it would be so easy like capturing a two year old baby.

Ethan at that moment didn't say anything to them.

"What's the matter, Mama's boy? she wouldn't be able to come save his little boy today?"

a third taunted, his voice dripping with malice.

Ethan gritted his teeth, anger started boiling up inside him.

He still couldn't believe that Noah had stooped so low as to have him kidnapped.

It was a new level of cruelty, even for him.

The boys continued their verbal assault, their insults growing more vicious by the second, they were expecting Ethan's reaction but his calmness was becoming irritating to them.

"You think you're so tough, don't you, Ethan? Just because you got lucky in that fight the other day, you now think everyone are like those weakling, that got themselves drunk before fighting you "

one of them snarled, cracking his knuckles menacingly.

"Yeah, well, we're not like those other guys,"

another added, his eyes glinting with malice.

"We're a whole different breed. So if you even think about raising a finger against us, you better think twice, because that finger of yours would be cut off."

Ethan's gaze was still focused on them; he didn't want to respond or challenge them, he just wanted to leave and get some good sleep.

Ethan was about to say something when a fist suddenly slammed into his gut.

Ethan at that moment didn't blink; it was as if he had been Punched by a kid.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Upon seeing what happened they gaze at each other.

They thought the Punch would knock the wind out of him or even make him doubled over, and he would start gasping for air just like any other person would have done.

But Ethan didn't even blink when the thugs erupted into fake laughter.

However some of them were happy knowing they would be enjoying themselves today.

But even as they taunted and jeered, Ethan's mind was calm.

unknowing to his captors, he had already begun to work on loosening his bonds, his fingers deftly manipulating the ropes behind his back.

Just then, Noah himself stepped forward, his face twisted into an ugly sneer.

"You're a dead man, Ethan,"

He spat, his voice trembling with barely contained rage.

"Because of you, my father yelled at me and threatened to cut my next month's allowance because of the spending you made me do, half a million dollars in one day.

And now, you're going to pay for it with your life, next time you will learn not to be tricky around who is greater than you again."

Upon hearing what Noah just said, Ethan's eyes flashed with anger, he didn't want to say anything earlier but he was forced to.

"Why did you make Serenity pay the other half?"

He demanded, his voice filled with anger

"Do you even care about her at all?"

Noah let out a harsh bark of laughter.

"You really are an idiot, aren't you? Serenity and I are already engaged. Her family went bankrupt, and mine is the only thing keeping them afloat. She's nothing more than a token of appreciation from the Yorks, a pretty little plaything for me to use however I please."

Ethan felt his blood boil at Noah callous words. Suddenly, everything made sense - Serenity's loyalty to Noah, her fear of displeasing him. She was trapped because of her family situation, everything was becoming clear to Ethan now.

"You're pathetic, Noah."

Ethan spat, his voice dripping with contempt.

"A spoiled, selfish brat who doesn't deserve someone like Serenity. You're nothing but a loser that what you are." Stay connected via empire

hearing what Ethan just said Noah's face turned an ugly shade of purple, his eyes bulging with rage. "Enough!"

he roared, spittle flying from his lips.

"Boys, teach this punk a lesson he'll never forget in a hurry. Make him suffer."

immediately the boys began to advance on Ethan, their fists raised and their faces twisted into cruel smiles, knowing they were going to enjoy themselves today. But just as they were about to descend upon Ethan, he surged to his feet, the ropes falling away from his body like water.

The warehouse fell silent, the boys frozen in shock as they stared at Ethan's imposing figure.

He stood tall and proud, his eyes blazing with a fire that seemed to burn straight through them.

"Big mistake, Noah."

he said, his voice as cold as ice. "You picked the wrong guy to mess with."
