Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Let’s Go Home

{I’ve done a scan on everyone that had approached Madam Xu and Jian Long in the last few days,} Athena explained, {and none of them seem to be the benefactor.}

Whoever this man was, it was obvious enough that he knew what he was doing. Just as Ethan, he also chose to remain a ghost.

Worse yet, he now knew that the man was targeting him, but why? For his quick rise, just like Nathaniel had?

No, not quite.

It didn’t feel like that.

Rather, it felt like the man was targeting him for the fun of it and that was even more dangerous.

If there was a goal, Ethan would know how to bait him in but when there seemed to be none, the most he could get out of this was maybe curiosity?

"It’s fine," Ethan muttered as he got off the bed, Lillian still calmly sleeping, "just pay attention to any anomalies that might rise, I have a feeling that this game of ours is a long way from being concluded."

{Got it,} Athena said before going silent and Ethan put on a shirt before walking outside.

He stopped at the open door, coming face to face with Irina who seemed like she was about sto knock.

She locked eyes with him before sighing and saying, "my jet is available, we can leave tonight if you want."

Her tone made it obvious that she was a bit grumpy. Something that had to do with the fact that Ethan and Lillian were now dating.

Though she was aware enough that even before she got interested in him, there was already Lillian, it didn’t help the fact that she was still a bit jealous.

"Thank you," Ethan answered, pretending as if he couldn’t see her expression or even notice her tone.

He wasn’t ready to address Irina’s feelings yet, not now... maybe when they were back in the US but for now, he’d pretend as if she wasn’t being grumpy.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" He asked as he walked past her and towards the kitchen.

"No," she shook her head, slowly following behind.

"Then I’ll make something," he answered as he reached the kitchen.

She walked a bit faster before walking into the kitchen with him, sitting on the metal stool close to the counter in the center.

She knew he could cook, so she wasn’t here because he risked burning the kitchen down.

Ethan didn’t mind her presence as he grabbed eggs, bread, and a few vegetables. He planned something quick and simple. His mind wasn’t fully on the food anyway.

He began cracking eggs into a bowl. "Did you get anything from your side?"

"Nothing." Irina shook her head, "People act like Jian and Madam Xu were never touched." she placed her arms on the counter. "Whoever this benefactor is... he has pull, too much pull."

"I see," he nodded as he moved to the tap to wash the vegetables.

Ethan then moved to chopping and beating the egg before turning the stove on.

Irina stayed quiet for a moment, her gaze following his movements, "you’re not worried?"

"I’m not unworried," he said, pouring the eggs into the pan, "but I wouldn’t say I didn’t expect an enemy like this either."

"An enemy like this?" She asked.

"Yes," he answered, turning the heat down before turning to her, "OmniTech Corp’s growth is too fast for a company that young, so it’s meant to attract certain interests."

"I see," she said, nodding in agreement.

Even in the underworld, OmniTech’s Sentinel was the hottest product right now, with one of the largest bounties for whoever could successfully hack into it and copy its code.

And that bounty increased by the second, with each failed attempt.

The company’s worth was well into the hundreds of millions and that was just a single product.

"So," she started again, "how do you plan to find out who he is?"

Ethan seemed to think about it for a moment before turning around, flipping the egg and turning back.

"I don’t."

"Hmm?" She let out in confusion.

"I’ll let him come to me instead," Ethan explained, "after all, he seemed pretty interested in me."

"And how would you know that he’ll come after you?" She asked again, "after all, this might just be because he wanted Xu and Jian, and you just happened to be in the way."

"Trust me," Ethan said with a smile, "he’ll come."
