Chapter 134: Pleasure doing business
Ethan and Prosecutor Katherine had agreed to meet at a coffee shop, and Ethan had gone out of his way to find a Bohemian-style robe at the COS store to wear for the occasion.
He was quite the looker, holding a crystal ball, which added a touch of mystery to his appearance.
“What on earth are you up to?” Abigaile, looking utterly confused, sat next to Ethan. She was a stunner and instantly became the most noticeable presence in the coffee shop.
“Quiet.” Ethan held the crystal ball in one hand while gently caressing it with the other. He had initially planned to use tarot cards, but since he couldn’t find them, he had to make do with the crystal ball.
Abigaile, feeling helpless, adjusted her sunglasses and reminded herself that her face was covered, so there was no need to feel embarrassed.
The coffee shop door swung open, and in walked a woman in a suit.
Ethan immediately recognized her as Katherine. She looked about 80% similar to his sister Jessica, clearly siblings.
Her brown hair was tied back in a simple ponytail, and she wore rimless glasses. Unlike her sister’s carefree demeanor, Katherine exuded an intellectual beauty, meticulous in every way. However, her expression was too stern, screaming ‘keep your distance.’
Upon entering, she spotted Ethan in the corner, dressed in his Bohemian robe, and her stern gaze flickered with surprise.
After all, the robe combined with the crystal ball was quite an eye-catching ensemble.
And the fact that it was worn by a handsome young man made it all the more peculiar.
The surprise in her eyes was fleeting as she walked straight up to Ethan’s table and sat down, staring into his eyes, “Do you have information on Salvatore bribing officials?”
Her look was cold and wary, clearly not trusting the young man in front of her.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had her personal number, Katherine wouldn’t have agreed to meet this stranger.Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m
Ethan opened his eyes, stopped fiddling with the crystal ball, and looked disdainful, “Prosecutor Katherine, you look troubled, like disaster’s about to strike, and you don’t even know it.”
“...” Abigaile watched his performance, quietly turned her head away, and wished she could just disappear into the floor—it was so cringeworthy.
Katherine, who had seen her fair share of oddities, couldn’t keep a straight face. Her lips twitched uncontrollably, and she turned to leave.
Clearly, she didn’t want to waste another minute.
“The arrogance of some people,” Ethan’s voice followed her from behind, his fingers making exaggerated magical gestures he’d seen in anime.
In his mind, he secretly activated the skill ‘Void Dick’ to summon a Dick, which, after an upgrade, could now be launched within a ninety-degree range in front of him.
He subtly adjusted his waist, making the Dick appear right beside her cheek, and with a swift hip twist...
The skill ‘Hard as a Rock’ took effect, and the rock-hard Dick smashed against her right cheek.
Of course, all this was predicated on the existence of psychics with real powers in this world.
Katherine’s gaze didn’t wander outside but stayed inside the café, although she wasn’t sure how this young man would demonstrate his abilities.
There was a chance he had arranged for someone outside beforehand.
After waiting for two waiters to pass by, Katherine pointed at a group of three students who had just entered, “Her.”
Ethan squinted. Among the trio, a boy and a girl were clearly a couple, and Katherine had pointed at the girl in the couple.
“Alright.”
Without hesitation, Ethan lightly tapped his teacup, his right hand making strange gestures as the couple walked past not far from them.
Suddenly, he activated the skill “Void Dick.”
In an instant, the Dick appeared under the girl’s uniform skirt, thrusting forward sharply.
“Ah?!!” The girl screamed, clutching her skirt and collapsing to the ground.
Her two friends jumped in fright and scrambled to help her up, but the girl’s face was flushed with panic and fear as she looked around.
She tried to stand, but her legs were too weak to support her.
Ethan shot an apologetic look at her boyfriend, thinking to himself that since it was just a poke, it probably didn’t count as cuckolding him.
Katherine watched, stunned, then her gaze towards Ethan slowly turned perplexed.
Abigaile was also baffled, wondering why she wasn’t aware of what was happening. Wasn’t this supposed to be some kind of trick?
“Miss Katherine, if you don’t need my protection, I can leave now,” Ethan said as he picked up his teacup. “Of course, I won’t be returning any part of my fee.”
Katherine quickly caught the implication in his words and asked sternly, “Who sent you to protect me?”
“No comment,” Ethan replied coolly. “As per our agreement, I’ll ensure your safety until the gang-related case you’re handling is concluded. As for anything else, I won’t tell you. Please make your choice, Miss Katherine.”
Katherine’s expression fluctuated. Ethan’s bizarre demonstration had genuinely frightened her.
The smarter one is, the more they tend to overthink.
After weighing her options, she nodded, “Please, enlighten me.”
“Pleasure doing business,” Ethan squinted, satisfied that he had managed to get close to the attractive prosecutor.
