Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations Chapter 178

Ethan couldn't help but answer the call, he wanted to say sothing when Naomi imdiately interrupted.

"Sothing interesting just erged,"

Naomi's voice carried calculated precision through the phone, the subtle rustle of papers suggesting she was reviewing docunts.

"A major player is struggling with liquidity."

At that mont Ethan's enhanced senses caught the subtle excitent in her tone, the slight quickening of her breath that betrayed a significant opportunity.

"How major could that be?"

"One of the country's giants,"

she replied, her fingers audibly tapping against her desk.

"They need cash, really fast. Asking price is a hundred billion."

imdiately a pause, followed by a soft laugh.

"Not that I'm suggesting you buy it outright - even you couldn't manage that sum, not after all the investnt you just did."

Her voice carried a hint of curiosity about how Ethan would react.

Ethan's fingers traced the staff's markings as he listened, the ancient artifact still warm from its recent use.

"Then what would be the minimum investnt?"

Upon hearing what Ethan just said Naomi's eyes widened a little, she thought Ethan would say No, but he's kind of interested.

"Ten billion would secure a significant position,"

Naomi said carefully, her tone shifting to business precision. again Papers started shuffling in the background.

"Enough to help their cash flow crisis."

She took a asured breath.

"It's one of the five major corporations that control our market. The kind even lady Madison would be proud of."

Ethan was becoming interested, but he was busy now and had so many things to take care of.

"We'll discuss this later,"

Ethan said, his voice carrying quiet finality.

"Even a partial investnt could—" Naomi began, her usually composed voice carrying an edge of excitent she couldn't quite hide.

Without being told Ethan could tell Naomi was really interested in this, she has never really pushed for anything like this before.

"Not now,"

Ethan cut her off smoothly, his enhanced senses catching her sharp intake of breath at his tone.

'Until I reach the system's second level, my resources are limited.'

Ethan said to himself.

His free hand clenched slightly, rembering how close he was to evolution.

'A hundred billion... that's beyond my current capabilities.'

" Naomi, I will see what I can do perhaps we will discuss it later."

However Naomi knows ti is running out, deals like these don't stay open for too long.

"But just ten billion for a stake—" Her fingers could be heard drumming anxiously on her desk, a rare display of agitation from the usually controlled woman.

"If I can't own it completely, I'm not interested in discussing it."

Ethan tone carried the weight of soone who'd tasted true power and wouldn't settle for less.

'Once I evolve to the next level'

he thought, calculating the remaining distance to his goal, his enhanced mind already mapping out future conquests.

'Then we can discuss reshaping the market entirely'

Naomi's silence on the other end spoke volus about her surprise at his dismissal of such an opportunity.

"I need you to track a license plate," Ethan's voice shifted from disinterest to deadly focus.

"That's... an unexpected request." Naomi's tone sharpened with curiosity, the sound of her settling into her chair carrying through the phone.

"Whose car?"

"One that just took Serenity."

His jaw tightened as he recalled every detail of the vehicle before they arrived here and he rembered the number of the car, and he told Naomi.

"Given Noah's recent behavior, sothing feels wrong."

His free hand clenched into a fist, rembering Noah's desperate madness before death.

"The timing is suspicious,"

Naomi agreed, her fingers flying across her keyboard with urgent precision. Papers rustled as she mobilized her resources.

"Especially after what just happened with Noah. His allies might be moving pieces we don't see yet."

"Find it, imdiately I want to know where the car went and if it's still there"

imdiately Ethan commanded.

Noah's final vindictive smile flashed through his mind as he waited for Naomi to trace the vehicle, the expression of soone who knew they'd set sothing terrible in motion.

Ethan ended the call waiting for Naomi to hear the information he said.

However not long after Naomi's call ca through with coordinates, her voice was tight with urgency.

"Found it. They're at a residence in the old district, number 360 to be precise."

Without wasting any more ti he decided to use one of the cars left behind by Noah.

Not long after the house lood before, shadows danced across its weathered facade. Ethan didn't bother with the door - the staff's power simply removed it from existence.

Inside the house, four n lounged around a table, playing cards and laughing. Their laughter died instantly at his appearance, one of their cards fell from shocked fingers.

"Impossible,"

one whispered, stumbling backward.

"You were with Noah... he said the plan was in motion..."

At that mont without saying anything Ethan moved like liquid death. The staff flashed once, twice - bodies flew across the room, crashing into walls.

As the last man slumped unconscious, blood trickling from his split lip, his eyes held total confusion. They'd been so certain Ethan was occupied elsewhere,and they know he's going to dead, but his co he's here looking so unhurt

Without wasting any more ti Ethan started looking for serenity one to find her bound to a bed,Her hands trembled violently and he freed her and helped her up.

Upon seeing it was Ethan she began to cry.

"I can't go back,"

she whispered, clutching his arm with desperate strength. Her whole body shook with suppressed sobs. "Not to the dorm, not ho... nowhere they can find ."

Her eyes darted frantically around the room, like a hunted animal.

Without wasting any more ti Ethan took Serenity away, and headed to the Winston Hospital.

Then he booked a VIP room for serenity, he knew she would be hungry, then he decided to book an expensive al for her.

At that mont Serenity hands wrapped around her untouched wine glass, her knuckles started whiting with tension.

She knows how dangerous Noah could be, but for so reason Ethan didn't look hurt.

At that mont she whispered.

"Noah..."

she hesitated, looking up at Ethan through wet lashes. Her voice caught on his na.

"What happened to him? When those n took , they said sothing about a plan…"
